Our health care rally in Raleigh was really strange.
Apparently, the state mixed up my permit somehow, but since all my papers were in order, they didn't throw me off the Capitol Building grounds. They did, however, allow the other group they permitted to go ahead too.
So, a little while into our rally, cops started showing up, followed by trucks with lots of orange cones and barricades.
The other group, it turns out, was the gay-hating folks from Westboro Baptist Church in Kansas. The minions of Fred Phelps.
What little crowd we had disappeared. People walking by stopped to listen to us for a few minutes and then kept walking.
We broke down 45 minutes early because they were arriving and setting up.
They were so angry and hate-filled they didn't even make sense.
Mike would have thought it was very funny, so we laughed too.
