The Pro-Hezbollah Rally in DC 08-12-06
Be sure to check out the Conservative Revolution's After Action Report!
Several of us drove to DC this past Saturday to join up with Protest Warrior and Free Republic in a counter-demonstration as Hezbollah's cheerleaders marched through the streets in the heart of the greatest democracy the world has ever known.
It was rather sickening to see terrorism promoted openly in our Nation's capital. The message was hate. Hate Israel, Hate Bush, Hate Capitalism, Hate America.
Many of the muslim participants had children with them shouting "Long Live Hezbollah!"
The signs were printed and provided by A.N.S.W.E.R. and the World Workers Party. A very few were hand made. I questioned several of the participants about how the Lebanese people could possibly want to align themselves with communist organizations. One lady said, "I'm not a communist, I'm a Democrat!" When I pointed out that the leader of the group she was trying to get people to sign up for was an avowed Communist with a capital C she said, "I'm through with you," and turned her back to me.
A couple of water bottles and a can of soda were thrown at the Protest Warrior/Free Republic folks we were with. No one was injured.
Walking back to the van afterwards, my son went into "Marine" mode, his eyes constantly scanning the crowds, checking behind us. One group of middle eastern "youths" took issue with a t-shirt one of us was wearing that had an Israeli flag on it and a couple of choice words for terrorists. They threatened to beat up the wearer. Our Iraq Vet stared them down and they left.
I wish I knew what happened to the Crusader. He said he was from France and India. He was all alone and the Hezbollah people hated him with a passion normally reserved for our President. The last I saw of him, he was headed towards the commies' main rallying point. Prayers up for that brave, impassioned soul.

I took some incredibly poor video posted here and here. You can here people chanting "Long live hezbollah!" and pro-Israelis/Americans chanting "Please don't blow us up!"
Much better video at Hot Air and Age of Hooper.
