We attended a "meet & greet" at the American Legion with the above mentioned folks: they we all down to earth, friendly, un-assuming people. No "handlers" or pre-screening, ZERO trouble!
Doug wasn't just a talking head with a hand shoved in your face, no instamatic grin, more like meeting someone at an ARFcom event.
The concert/rally was short, there were fine words of endorsement, without smoke being blown up everyones ass.
Rich brought out his "Rhinestone Guitar" on which he never mentioned, but I noticed a big NRA decal on it.
Thompson was the Tennessee gentleman that one would expect....
FOX News and a few other reporters were present...
there was a table behind the Press stage where some chic sat with a lap-top, blogging on ACE of SPADES HQ
Gadsden flags and 9/12 lined the walls....
Again, ZERO trouble from protests or rabble-rouses, only three local Police and they seemed to be enjoying the festivities too.
I'll post more later!
