In response to the Times article, someone named "Judith Anne" at Free Republic (a right-wing, fundy website) posted this:

Quote:

How much of the mall stores' business is in Thanksgiving and Christmas sales? How badly do they want that business? I'm betting that the merchants, out of self-preservation, will get the kibosh put on these demonstrators....I certainly won't shop and spend my usual wad where these folks are in my face; I'd rather go where the kids are carolling and Christmas music is playing.

Someone else then said:

Quote:

Uh...Judith? The Washington Mall isn't a shopping mall. It's where the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, National Aquarium, a host of government run museums etc etc, can be found.

Is that priceless or what?

Godless Americans -- hanging out by the food court, reading shoplifted playboys, and getting hastled by the security guards.

Well, gosh... if I'd known he was the only one going i would have gone too. But they probably would have ID'd me as being from C-U instead.

Did this guy call the paper to say he was going?

And it really bugs me that they brought up the Washington commencement flap again; the suit was filed by a Catholic.

2,400 at the Mall is a small sneeze in D.C. political rally terms. Not likely to find much coverage of it.
