When C-Span taped the Gathering of Eagles III Pro Troop Rally they left out Melanie Morgans Speech: Here is a portion of it:

Chris Hill was one of the first speakers at GOE III But his speech was not a part of my DVR recording of the rally because C-span announced that it would run at 10:30AM on sunday September 16th, 2007 and they actually started it a few minutes before by tacking some of our speakers on to the end of the Anti War Rally.
Here is Chris’s amazing and powerful speech. I felt goosebumps down my back when I listened to him.

The rest of the Rally is found in these next two videos. I had to chop it in two because One True Media only allows for sixty minute vids.

Melanie Morgans Speech at the Rally in DC! Go MEL Go!
“Abu Hamed, leader of the Al Aqsa Brigades in the northern Gaza Strip, urged Americans to listen to Sheehan.
“I hope that all the Americans will understand what this great mother understood. We hope you do not consider this mother as a humanitarian case who speaks from her own pain, because she is saying the truth. I hope you will take her as a good example.”
Barf, gag, choke, cough……bleech…. Jane Fonda has never been able to own her crimes, and I doubt Cindy will live long enough to come to terms with the reality of what she has done. Casey also has a father, he is mourning too.

ANSWER: (New interpretation)
Dale Lanham with Michelle Malkin This Blogger went to the Anti War side of the protest and has issues with being called a “smelly Hippie”. What she failed to see is that those of us calling her side the “Anti War Stinkys” believe that ANYONE who gives aid and comfort to the enemy during a time of war is the smelliest, stinkyest, biggest loser in our society: And that would include politicians delusional about what is at stake, the MSM, Anti War activists like herself who are comfortable playing the role of “useful idiot” to the communist puppet master pulling her strings, and especially the Anti War groups themselves.
I only have one question….”Where was Jane Fonda???” I thought she said in March that “Silence was no longer an option”. As the most useful idiot of them all, it was strange to see a major rally without her blathering on about American Imperialism. NYTimes: Anti War Protest ends with Dozens of Arrests WAPO Video: War of Words This video will prob only be up for a month. The Hill: About 200 arrested during Anti War Protest
Karissa Marcum, writer of this piece quoted ANSWER as saying that five million anti war activists showed up on the streets of Washington DC on saturday…..Oh, wait, I got that number wrong…She said quote:
“Protesters marched from the White House to the Capitol in an effort coordinated by the ANSWER coalition, which estimated the crowd to be 100,000 strong.”
“Anyway, I don’t know how much rent a mob stuff will be a part of the March 17th anti war activity, but to just dismiss it as impossible is naive at best and dangerously manipulative at worst as the media seeks to inflate numbers and paint the movement as so’me grass roots spontaneous snowballing of how Americans really think. “
The Media has consistently been reporting that GOE Rally Supporters numbered about a thousand. I think we can safely say that seven to ten thousand pro troop people showed op on saturday based on what the MSM have all agreed was the lowest possible number. Move America Forward claimed 7,000 patriots.
But whatever the numbers actually were is neither here nor there. The fact is that Patriots are organizing, and no Anti American Moonbat will be able to organize and stomp around the streets without being challenged by someone, somewhere. And that is a beautiful thing. Mel was kind enough to write this on her blog: Hey everybody, I’m home!
I hugged and kissed my husband, my son, and Riley the wonder dog —and now I just have a quick minute to post a round-up of the media reports from our WILDLY successful Fight for Victory Tour and the DEEPLY moving GOE III in Washington, D.C. I had to the privilege to co-emcee with Kristinn Taylor of FreeRepublic.com
My new friend Jenny Hatch collected all of the reports (or most, I think) and sent it to me!

My friend Dale and I have been organizing a Pro Troop Rally this sunday in downtown Boulder.
This morning Ben and I were busy making get well cards for our troops at Walter Reed hospital. I took a couple of pictures and then decided to make a short video to share here on my blog as an advertisement for the rally.

NYPost Version: Answering Answer And one of the best comments from Michelles Blog:
“On August 29th, 2007 at 11:14 am, Tantor said:
The protest scene in Washington, DC, and perhaps most of the nation, is undergoing a remarkable shift where the anti-war protests are waning while the counter-protests are waxing full. The past giant anti-war marches of some 50,000 lefty loons have shrunk partly due to the inevitable bickering of the Marxist control freak factions which organize them but also due to a general distaste for the creeps who march in them. Some of the naive liberal dupes who march in these are catching on that the ANSWER Stalinists who organize them are merely using them to man a protest battering ram against America.
There were only a couple dozen Freeper counter-protestors versus the hordes of protestors at every giant Washington protest until the March on the Pentagon this year, when the Gathering of Eagles matched their numbers, about ten thousand versus ten thousand. Let me tell you, the one thing protestors hate is protestors counter-protesting them. They’re against it. The lefties want a monopoly on protesting, on free speech.
The GOE scared away some of ANSWER’s celebrity speakers, who wouldn’t set foot outside of their limos if their anti-American opinions were challenged. The GOE had enough numbers to form a gauntlet at the Lincoln Memorial through which the protestors had to pass, a sobering reminder to them that their anti-American sentiments were challenged by the majority of Americans.
One good ole boy small town cop/military veteran from down South told me he watched three young kids walk up to the protest. When they saw all the vets gathered there to counter-protest, they dropped their protest signs on the ground and left, saying, “This isn’t fun.” While the ANSWER wolves who run these protests are deeply committed to their cause, most of the sheep who follow them are not. They come to protests to party. It’s like Mardi Gras for them. When vets show up en masse to challenge them, the dopey sophomore party-protestors shrink in the face of it and flee. Go to their protest and puncture their fun.
The canary in the coal mine of Washington protests is the despicable Code Pink protest at Walter Reed Army Medical Center every Friday night from 7 PM to 9 PM. The Freepers have been counter-protesting them in a war of attrition for over two years now, whittling down the numbers of the protestors from fifty regulars to the last dirty half dozen. A couple months ago, one of the Code Pink leaders came out to the protest and called the troops the true terrorists in Iraq. That’s how Code Pink supports the troops it purports to “love.”
In the past before a big Saturday protest, some of the moonbats would show up the night before at Walter Reed. They don’t do that anymore because the attention span of a moonbat is very short. However, if you are going to the GOE counter-protest of this coming ANSWER commie protest, you might think about getting in early and heading up Georgia Avenue Friday night to the front gate of Walter Reed to join the pro-troops Freeper counter-protest. They’ll be the ones waving The Flag. Maybe you might even stop at Walmart and pick up some boxes of snacks for the wounded troops inside. But most of all, turn out in big numbers to put a stake through the heart of this slanderous protest of our wounded warriors recovering from grievous wounds in Walter Reed.
See you there.” Reminder that we are having a Pro War/Troop Rally in Boulder Colorado on Sunday September 9th, at 7AM. See YOU there! Jenny Hatch
