Here's the video from yesterday's ANSWER demonstration in front of the White House. **** UPDATE **** August 15 YouTube seems to be doing some maintenance, so the video may not be available for a while. Check back!

outstanding coverage, I hope you don't mind I praised your work at my humble home. Did you ever get the translation?

CharlesR said...

No, I never actually did. Everyone I asked kept referring me to the ANSWER honchos and, frankly, they're weren't very "friendly" either. I have an arabic speaking friend, though, who I can enlist. I'll post the translation if it's anything interesting. Won't be for a while, though.

As an aside ... how does it make sense to chant something in public that you don't want people to hear or understand? Sadly, though, that's pretty typical of this crowd. It defies logic.

Great job and how did you keep from sticking your hand down some dumb ass's face. Most didn't even know what they were chanting. I bet allot of them were there just to protest. Don't care what they were protesting just doing it. The others are a hateful bunch of asses!

Excellent work and I hope you will be able to get that translation. Was the counter-protester with the megaphone with you, and did he get hit by that cup?

CharlesR said...

The counter-protester wasn't with me. I'm not sure if he was with a group or acting individually. I make it a point to not antagonize the protesters ...

He did indeed get hit by the cup. I got a bit splattered myself.

Our friend with the megaphone was there with myself and a small group of anti-protesters made up of Freepers and Protest Warriors.

Go back and look at the Germans wrapped up in Hitler, they were s excited to be part of something, they wern't aware of the consequences. They think they are being rebellious and cool, tagically as ignorant as wearing a Che Guerva shirt.

Many, if not most of the protesters were misguided Arabs. They were not communists, as is ANSWER, the group that sponsered the event. ANSWER leads people with any excuse for a cause and they, like sheep, follow. It is sad that the true agenda of groups like ANSWER and UFPJ is largely unknown.
