The comment below is hers, I was not there but I wish I could have been. Great job counter protestors! Harry Reid certainly delivered yesterday.
11-21-09: Counter demonstration at the tea baggers' demonstration; they were protesting the senate's version of the health insurance reform bill. They were way bigger than us, but hey, that's what happens when you offer to bus people in from all over the country to come to Vegas.
Never in my life have I met such hateful people. Never in my life have I been spit on, pushed, shoved, heckled, told to "burn in hell", or had people try to tear materials out of my hands. I heard screams of "White Pride" and "God Hates Commies". These same people were wearing their crosses and quoting bible verses.
And yes, we even saw some of the infamous "Psalm 109" signs.
It's kind of amusing in a way. They would say stupid stuff like, "So, you want that commie healthcare, huh? You want to ruin America, huh?" So we'd say, "Well, give us your alternative". And they'd say, "Burn in hell".
I had to laugh. That's it? That's your best argument? Wow.
