Guess who else is having a rally in DC on Oct. 25? Return of the Freepers
(Courtesy of jonnyblitz)

What: The Freedom Rally Against Terror and Tyranny
When: Saturday, October 25, 2003, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Where: The West Front of the Capitol Building at 3rd Street, on the Mall.
Bring: American and Gadsden flags (large and small,) service and Blue Star flags, and signs bearing messages of support for our troops.

There is much amusement throughout the entire thread, but this immediately struck me: "As always, the D.C. Chapter's rules for protesting will be in effect. Briefly, they are: No violence, no profanity, no racism, no provocations, obey the law and treat all law enforcement officers with respect."

You actually have to REMIND these people that violence or racism is NOT allowed. I guess when their rules are not in effect, it is OK to be a racist. :shrug:

So, anyone have those pictures from the last time?

1. They protested against Hillary in Chicago...
...and I caught one of them breaking the rules. Technically they were the D.C. chapter's rules, but yeah, one of them told someone to "get a job".

Here's them talking about their protest.

I like the part where they say "We feel we all came across as normal and not overly emotional."

2. We should go and carry signs that say "Support our Troops Tell Bush to
return their benifiets".

Or how about "Fight Terror and Violence, elected a Democrat to the White House".

That should get them going.

3. "Rally Against Terror and Tyranny"?
I thought that's what WE were doing that day!

Seriously, I would like to see a lot of American flags at our rallies on the 25th. Take back the flag! (Not to mention it will confuse the hell out of the Freepers.)

4. Uh Oh. We better watch out
With all this advance publicity to all those patriotic freeps, they may be able to field as many as 20 pro-murikan activists.

5. Better set aside a parking space and a picnic table
I imagine the mullet sightings will be worth the price of admission
