Inauguration: Free Republic

Kristinn Taylor
Free Republic Washington Chapter Co-Leader
Wednesday, January 19, 2005; 11:00 AM

Not everyone demonstrating Thursday will by rallying against the current administration. Members of the D.C. Chapter of Free Republic, a conservative Internet based discussion forum, will gather to support "Bush, the men and women serving in the U.S. armed forces and their mission fighting the war on terrorists in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere."

Kristinn Taylor, co-leader of the Washington chapter, was online to discuss the group's plans as well as their support for President Bush and his policies.

Brian Becker, national coordinator for the ANSWER Coalition, will be online Friday to discusses their demonstrations against President Bush's inauguration.

The transcript follows.

Editor's Note: Washingtonpost.com moderators retain editorial control over Live Online discussions and choose the most relevant questions for guests and hosts; guests and hosts can decline to answer questions.

_____________

Florida: What are your plans for Thursday exactly?

Kristinn Taylor: Sorry for the delay. A bit of a technical problem that got sorted out.

The D.C. Chapter of Free Republic's plans are to hold a pro-America demonstration in what we are calling the American Sector at the northeast corner of 7th St. and Pennsylvania Ave., NW, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. along the Inaugural parade route.

We're holding a rally from 10:30 to 11:30 at 7th and Indiana Ave., just off Pennsylvania Ave. We'll be joined by our friends from the Iraqi exile community who support President Bush and America's liberation of their country from the brutal dictatorship of Saddam Hussein.

After that, we'll line the parade route on a 141 foot long stretch on the north side of Pennsylvania Ave. (the sunny side of the street!) and cheer President Bush and our men and women serving in the armed forces.

Thursday night, Free Republic is holding an unofficial inaugural ball featuring Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee and his rock and roll band, Capitol Offense.

It's going to be a long, exhilirating day!

1. "a pro-America demonstration"
It's sad, but this is the kind of bullshit artistry our side has to master.

3. Here's my favorite response
Vienna, Va.: I don't have a question, actually. I just wanted to thank the folks at the Post who scheduled you for this chat. I get so irritated when people rant about the Post being sooooooo liberal and only giving one point of view. So I'm glad they have someone from the Free Republic on, and I wanted to thank you, as well, for accepting the invitation!

Kristinn Taylor: You are correct. The Post has been very kind and generous with their time and coverage of our activities. Like I said earlier, I believe the media is coming around to the changes going on.

**********************************************************************
Yup, they've been kind. It takes a hell of a publication to invite you to host an open chat after they took you to court for copywrite infringement.

7. "I believe the media is coming around to the changes going on."
They have been ASSIMILATED. God, these people are scary.

Penndems, forgive my ignorance, but what lawsuit are you talking about? I don't remember hearing about this--maybe it was before I joined DU.

10. If I'm wrong here, someone please correct me
But, if I remember correctly, the FR posted an article from the Washington Post without obtaining the Post's permission. The WP sued 'em - and won.

5. We just have to start using their language.
Thursday, I'm going to a pro-American rally, too. At the Federal building in Los Angeles, to show my support for my country and for the men and women who are overseas. I will be showing my support for democratically elected officials and transparent government. I will be showing my support for honest elections that reflect the will of the American people. I will be supporting the true majority of the country who do not support the Bush Terrorist Regime.

See how easily we can do this, too?

6. LOL! Yeah, that sounds about right . . .
The largest I've personally heard of was about 100. After trying to hold a conversation with those goofballs, most people realize what they're dealing with . . . and leave.

11. Kristinn Taylor - a guy with a gal's name
Here's the punk protesting against our last legitimate president with the freeptard brigade back in '99.



He posts crap constantly on FreakRepukelick.

15. He's been posting a little too consistently
judging by the size of that Hagar-polyester-slacks-covered, lard-laden ass.

19. Piggies . . .
Edited on Wed Jan-19-05 06:18 PM by Penndems
This was the first thing that came to mind when I saw that photo.

Have you see the little piggies
crawling in the dirt
And for all the little piggies
Life is getting worse
Always having dirt
to play around in

Have you see the bigger piggies
In their starched white shirts
You will find the bigger piggies
Stirring up the dirt
Always have clean shirts
to play around in

In their sties with all their backing
They don't care what goes on around
In their eyes there's something lacking
What they need's a damn good whacking

Everywhere there's lots of piggies
Living piggy lives
You can see them out for dinner
With their piggy wives
Clutching forks and knives
to eat their bacon

12. Maybe we should go in disguise and point out to unsuspecting
W 04 button wearers where the "American Nazi Party" gathering is.

Whoops, we were misinformed. It's the site of the "Freeper" 2-person rally.

13. Bleh!
:puke:
I guess pro-american means pro-idiot to these people. They don't seem to have opinions of their own, they seem to shut out the truth, the FACT that over a thousand of americans have died because of this. Follow on like lemmings 'till they all fall off the cliff...

The last time the freepers held a Pro America Rally
it didn't go over very well. (As a matter of fact the Bush Campaign got into a bit of trouble for violating the 527 rules.)




But it was nice of them to rent the Downtown Plaza in Gainesville so that all of Kerry Suppporters were able to get together.

Does this mean they're going to the ball?

20. Did anyone ask Little Kristinn about the time he assaulted Alan Dershowitz
... and which bothers him more about Dershowitz: that he's a lawyer, a liberal or a Jew?

I've heard -- but been unable to substantiate -- rumblings that Little Kristinn has an anti-Semitic streak. Can anyone substantiate or refute this?
