Combating the Moonbats: Times Square, May 19th
May 20th, 2007
While Eagles nationwide were standing up to support our recruiters yesterday, GOE-NY had a special mission. They were countering antiwar leftists in Times Square. The moonbats were planning to show up and do what they called “Torture Theater,” or a “reenactment” of the “torture” that terrorist detainees are undergoing at Gitmo. Never mind that there IS no torture at Gitmo. Never mind that as we speak, three of our nation’s soldiers are undergoing the most horrific torture imaginable at the hands of the enemy. These antiwar leftists have no couth, no respect, no love for our soldiers in harm’s way.
That’s why GOE-NY had to shut them down.
Eagles representing five states–and from as far away as North Carolina–converged on Times Square yesterday to answer the threat, and Dan Maloney, GOE-NY Coordinator, had a preliminary report on the event.
It was a GREAT day in Times Square!
We performed the ORA portion of our activity on schedule and the recruiters were very interested in hearing about GOE. The Company Commander for the NY area was there and invited us to talk at one of their affairs. Dr. Rauol’s gracious delivery of heros were a big hit and the recruiters came out later to enjoy the spectacle of us facing off against the moonbats saying it was the first time in recent memory when they could venture outside during a demonstration at their location.
Then the REAL fun began!
The Moonbats finally showed up to stage their anti-Gitmo street theater and found that we had secured the ground and would not let them get more than a foothold on it. They had to split their forces between a small group at the narrow point of the traffic island away from the recruiting station and on a street corner a block away.
We totally overwhelmed the small contingent immediately to our front while a small group of ours infiltrated their street theater act and poked fun at their representation of Guantanamo. You will notice our infiltrators in photos wearing orange ‘Club Gitmo’ t-shirts with snarky blurbs on the back.
We had passersby chanting USA! with us, we greeted several Iraq veterans and current duty servicemen as they passed by, we met a lady from Australia and a Lebanese man living in Germany who cheered us on. It was just a wonderful and fun time for every one of us. We handed out hundreds of our flyer describing what we were doing there today and inviting people to New London and West Point.
The point at which the moonbats slunk away was when we chanted “Where’s your flag!” and then deployed a giant American flag while we sang America the Beautiful and Star Spangled Banner before reciting the pledge of allegiance.
In all the action lasted mainly from 11:00am to 4:30pm. Some over achievers (I’m looking at you Jim B.!) staked out the ground at 8am!
The beautiful and resourceful Urban Infidel wrote a report and posted lots of photos on her blog, as well as a slide show.

Some of the folks in attendance:
Natl Exec Officer Larry Hoffa and his lovely wife and daughter.
VT State Coordinator and her handsome and protective son (who both served as infiltrators!)
CT State Coordinator and early riser Jim Bancroft.
NY Rockland County Coordinator (which I will make formal in the am) Jim Ferguson (who drives the camo Volvo wagon to annoy moonbats).

The unsinkable and intrepid Pamela Hall of United American Committee.
The magnificent Dr. Raoul of Free Republic posing as a NY Times Reporter who
would Lie for Food(who also sprang for lunch for the recruiters and wouldn’t accept any remuneration)
The Protest Warriors guys who loved mixing it up with the moonbats!
Tom Dolan who masterminded the creative banners which dominated the field.
All the Freepers, Toni, Jennie, Anthony to name just a few.
Desiree ‘The Voice’ who is simply amazing.
And everyone else whose names would be just too many to list in this brief update.

Stay tuned for Dan’s in-depth report, coming later today!
