Freeperland is happy about the Tsunami deaths.

[MikeG]

I won't post a link. Just go there. Wear a gas mask.

[Corgigal]

1. what goes around

comes around. Another good reason to take myself and my funds out of a red state.

[BrklynLiberal]

27. Right... Bad Karma....Very bad Karma. To enjoy the tragedy of others,

especially one of this dimension....and there were so many children lost.

[Be Brave]

2. I won't go there. Why are they happy about it?

[AllegroRondo]

9. Many reasons

1- they think these countries did nothing to aid the US after 9-11

2- they think these people, especially Malaysians, are the ones who cheered the deaths of Americans on 9-11

3- they think these countries take jobs from the US

4- they think many of the aid groups are Liberal. Especially the Red Cross, which they don't like because of its stand agains prisoner abuse in Iraq and Guantanamo

[canadianbeaver]

12. 3-they think these countries take jobs from the US....

More like the US corps. are sending your jobs to those countries...don't want to pay what they should....

[Pushed To The Left]

61. Exactly

They should have voted for Kerry if they wanted to take care of the outsourcing problem.

[Peak_Oil]

65. Kerry wasn't going to do anything, don't kid y/self

He said he wasn't. I think there was some kind of tax credit thing he was going to work on, but it's a drop in the bucket compared to dropping a salary from 90K to 12K.

Get real. He wasn't going to do anything meaningful.

[Pushed To The Left]

71. He wanted to close the tax loophole

for companies that practiced outsourcing. Not quite as aggressive on the issue as I would have liked, but nonetheless he was the anti-outsourcing candidate.

[Peak_Oil]

76. Ineffective measure.

He was the slightly-less-rabid-outsourcing candidate.

They were both outsourcing candidates. They belonged to the same fraternity at the same college. Jesus.

[Pushed To The Left]

79. My point was

that it was silly for hardcore conservatives to complain about other countries "taking their jobs" when most of them probably support outsourcing as part of the "free market". Why are we still arguing over who should be the Democratic candidate? The 2004 primaries ended a long time ago.

[BrklynLiberal]

22. Elizabeth Dole was head of Red Cross..That would be last on my list of

who I would donate to..Doctors Without Borders would get my money before they would.

56. Oh please to you.

There is nothing wrong with not donating to a charity because you dont agree with who they put in leadership positions.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

58. Especially if you DO donate to another charity instead

The way the RW trolls wailed a few weeks ago you'd think Salvation Army was the only charity that ever existed.

[miss_kitty]

59. uh-the freeps did that

And I can believe they would stoop so low.

[Piperay]

68. The Red Cross especially the American Red Cross

doesn't have a very good record of the money going where it should, they sure fouled up with 9-11.x(

[nascarblue]

74. It's true, you'd do better to donate to Doctor w/o borders or...

Catholic Relief. There's a big difference between the International Red Cross, and the American Red Cross. American Red Cross, as of today, only had a total of 5 people in the Tsunami country's. While there are about 500 western journalists who have been there for 3 days.

[Be Brave]

23. I keep overestimating the freeper's mind, and keep forgetting it is not

bigger than a cockroach's.

1-They expected aid from these countries during 9-11? Have they been watching the news coverage of the disaster? Do these people look like they belong to a high income bracket? Did they not see news during 9-11 of how many countries offered flowers at US embassies around the world?

2-Would these people be cheering America now with this kind of thinking and it's government's foreign policies?

3-Look at the news again. Do these victims look like the people who have your jobs, freepers?

4-People are dying by the tens of thousands and they talk about liberal aid groups?

Freepers, you disgust me! Get off the planet! :grr:

[SammyWinstonJack]

35. Okay, # 4 really kills me.

Aside from the fact that in all likelihood most "prisoners" being detained at Gitmo and those tortured at Abu Grab-ass were innocent, prisoner abuse should never be condoned or tolerated and part of the Red Cross' function is too call attention to abuse and torture of POWs , right?

[AllegroRondo]

50. Seriously, I saw a comment about it at freeperville

The poster was telling everyone to donate to christian charities only, because 'the Red Cross doesnt deserve our money' after their 'unamerican' actions trying to stop torture.

and of course, UNICEF is right out, because they are corrupt...

these people sure don't let facts get in the way of their fantasy.

[Artemis Bunyon]

3. We should collect their comments and preserve them for posterity...

...just like they do to some of OUR less "acceptable" posts.

6. Look again. Its on the first page . The 1 million deaths thread.

[Stand and Fight]

5. Post a link.

You can't expect people to trudge through that wasteland without a map.

:hi:

I have a hard time believing that even they are "happy" about the tsunami deaths. I seriously doubt that in fact.

So, provide a link. Your claim -- back it up.

[mcscajun]

70. Well...as no one else has replied to your post...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=2884808

You'll find a discussion there of a FR thread that was so reprehensible, the FR mods pulled it.

I'd seen some of the postings yesterday and today while lurking on FR...and some of these people ARE happy. If you don't go there yourself, or believe what you hear at DU about it...then I don't know what else to tell you. :shrug:

[jmowreader]

75. Man, that thread must have been really bad

The reason for pulling it: "Some threads are a disgrace to this site."

I didn't know that was possible.

[LuCifer]

7. Lemme guess...

...they had it comin' to 'em cuz they am be BROWN people...and PAGANS!

ANNNNND CAAAAAAAAN YOU FEEEEL THE LOOOOOOOOOVE TOOOOOONIGHT!!!!!!

More CRAP from the flat-Earth/Evolution-is-just-a-theory/Eather-is-only-6,000-years-old KKKompassionate KKKonservative KKKillers...

John Lennon said it best: "HOW CAN YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT?"

Lu Cifer, I got your flat Earth RIGHT HERE!!!!

[purduejake]

8. Yea, I saw some people saying it was God's will...

Well then they should shut the f**k up about 9-11 because that must have been God's will too.

[Stand and Fight]

10. Right on!

Through their own distorted world view and logic back in their faces!

:toast:

[pitt71]

11. Well, there is

a little difference between a natural disaster, and people flying planes into buildings.

[htuttle]

13. What difference would it make to an omnipotent God?

Does He have limits?

[pitt71]

17. You're saying

God sent the planes into the WTC?

Wow! That's a great thought!

[htuttle]

20. What can possibly happen in the world that isn't His will?

Hmm?

edit: speling

[Jesus H. Christ]

21. According to freepers they did.

Like Jerry Falwell said, 9-11 was the act of God because of homosexuals and witches.

[oneighty]

39. Bush said

The Christians, Jews and Muslims all worship the same God. The same God had the nineteen Muslims fly planes into various targets in US of A.

Yes, an act of God. As is every thing? Good bad or indifferent? One cannot pick and chose.

It is so confusing this God stuff.

180

[canadianbeaver]

14. Yeah there is......

the *wackos caused 9/11....naturally.

<sarcasm off>:tinfoilhat:

[Jesus H. Christ]

15. Yes, the tsunami was much, much worse.

Welcome to DU.

[Gemini Cat]

19. Uh, yeah right-o.

However, dead is dead.

[maveric]

45. But God allowed the people to fly into the buildings.

Right??

[unpossibles]

18. I think they were saying that then too... n/t

[blm]

24. Many fundies were HAPPY about 9-11. They think it signalled the End Times

and they feel like they have ringside seats.

[smirkymonkey]

66. Well, they must be ecstatic over this tragedy...

it is playing right in to Revelations and the End Times scenario.

Sick, sick people.

[Pushed To The Left]

60. Members of the religious right

were saying that God let 9/11 happen because of liberalism! They accused God of LIHOP!! That's pretty sacreligious on their part.

[davidinalameda]

16. simply amazing

I never thought those assholes could sink any lower but yet they do

on edit: some of them are being rational, if a freeper can be such a thing

[truthseeker1]

25. I made the mistake of spending time on a Yahoo message board this morning

Wow! I was disgusted, appalled, shocked and embarrassed that Americans were spouting such hate, greed and selfishness. The excuses they come up with to avoid having any compassion! The idiotic posts were about 20 to 1. It's really unreal, and I was very sad to have opened that Pandora's box. Glad to be safely back at DU again.

[fudge stripe cookays]

32. Christ-- you went to Yahoo?

Those assholes are even worse than freepers if that's possible. Some freepers have brains, they just choose to be selfish greedy motherfuckers. Those THINGS on Yahoo aren't even human. They're just monstrous slithering beings incapable of any emotions besides hate and cruelty. The thought that I share the planet with them gives me chills.

Hope you burned your science suit after you got back through the airlock! :hi:

FSC

[truthseeker1]

44. You're totally right - I was so unprepared for what I found there!

I was thinking they had to be plants of some sort - to stir up trouble and try to be extremist - just for fun? some sort of psy-ops? They just didn't seem human. I was horrified, wondering how we can live amongst people who think this way.

[Shakespeare]

36. The Yahoo message boards should have hazmat warnings.

The vileness on those boards makes FR look sane by comparison. And that's one scary thought.

[fudge stripe cookays]

47. Exactly.

Thus my warning about the science suit and airlock. Those people are just as nasty as a case of ebola. I feel that unclean after surfing there.

[wicket]

72. I made that mistake when Susan Sontag died

They were talking about raping her corpse :puke: They are so effing sick :grr:

[Pirate Smile]

26. Save some of them for ammo when some RW rag posts some stupid

stuff people post here (it does happen occasionally).;)

I believe it after some freeper came over here and posted how the tsunami made you see that "there is a God and he has a plan".

What the hell kind of God do these people believe in?

Did they ever read the New Testiment or just stop after reading the Old Testiment?

Unbelievable!

[Straight Shooter]

42. Here's that guy you're referring to:

Post No. 20
First, let me just say, respectfully, that I find your post to be somewhat irreverant.

Secondly, I believe that this is all a part of God's judgement upon this earth. These are events that have to be fulfilled because they have already been ordained.

And it's not up to us to question why this happened. Our Father allows certain events to happen, and He knows why. It's not always up to us to figure out the 'why.'

Post No. 33
Not, I'm not joking. I'm very serious.

All I am trying to convey is that the Father ALLOWED this to happen. It's part of the events that must be fulfilled according to his Word.

And my heart goes out to every single person affected by this tragedy. My heart has been so heavy for them.

But even in the midst of this, God's goodness prevails. We are not in control of what happens here on Earth, but my comfort and joy comes from knowing who IS in control.

[thedevilinthedetails]

51. It sounds like Jerry & Pat hang out at Freeperville, eh? n.t

[ktowntennesseedem]

73. Spoken like a true believer!

I should know, because I grew up in that environment. Many years ago (in my early teens, anyway), I might have said the same things, parroting the kinds of things I heard all the time. Fortunately, I've grown since then, and see such theological dribble as, at best, childish, at worst, bullshit.

I hope that I am least somewhat more enlightened now to believe that:

God desires to redeem the world, not judge it. God has not preordained catastrophes and tragedies to administer punishment and judgment, and does not need any followers going around trying to point all of this out. Instead God would use believers as instruments of good, to bring peace and love and justice to the world in order to redeem it.

I don't believe there is anything wrong with asking "Why?" Who better to ask than an all-knowing, all-loving God? Asking why is not evidence that we doubt God, but rather proof of our faith in a God that wants us to know and understand.

God only allows things to happen to keep from meddling in the affairs of humanity. God deeply cares for us and grieves with us when we suffer, but if God were to prevent this or that tragedy, where should God draw the line--prevent accidents? prevent sickness? prevent me from catching a cold or stumping my toe?

And while good can come from even the most terrible of circumstances, God certainly does not allow bad things to happen just so that some good can come of it. Good things can indeed come out of this tragedy, but it is up to us and how we react and respond.

We are not in control, but I do not worship a God that holds the people of the world like so many puppets. God loves the world, and has cut the strings that would control us. We have been given freedom by our Creator to choose how we live, whether to live for good or for evil.

My theology and my faith pilgrimage are still a work in progress, and I hope to look back in ten or twenty years and find myself to be an even more enlightened believer. But for now, I do take some pride in the fact that those I left behind (family included) consider me a heretic for all my radical beliefs!

[wicket]

28. Effing sick!!!

[roenyc]

29. OMG

they are sick. they should not be allowed to speak. they are nuts. they are so heartless and evil. i am almost in tears.

i dont know if i read the thread you were referring to but this one was about Indonesia and they are well they are just OK with it cause the people who died were mostly Islam. they used another word.

they are disgusting people. they are of the rush Limbaugh crowd. this is horrible. spread the hate!

[SammyWinstonJack]

43. Just like their Fearless Leader.

Heartless and evil!

[quaoar]

30. I went over there to look

Can't find the thread.

[MikeG]

33. The one million deaths thread.

[quaoar]

41. I did a search for that

and came up with nothing.

[MikeG]

46. Here's the link.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1311101/posts

"God has trumped the terrorists" comes to mind.

[quaoar]

63. Thanks

[The Backlash Cometh]

31. Republicans are all about hating. The fact that they also hide

behind the cross while they do this hating, tells me that the day they meet their maker, it will not be the one in heaven, but the one below.

[roenyc]

37. Where do bad folks go when they die?

they dont go to heaven where the angles fly. they go to a lake of fire and fry! see em again till the 4th of july!!!!!!!! meat puppets/kurt cobain.

sorry you just made me think of that. and whenever i hear that song i think of these self rightous people.

[politicaholic]

34. I dunno, those idiots mostly argued about the "1,00,000" thing.

There were a couple of offensive things about God and Iraq-something-or-other, but there were also some people who shot them down.

All in all, I'm just surprised those dipshits can type, but it's nice to see at least a couple of them are in tune with reality.

[roenyc]

40. Its that they are brainwashed.

by Right wing faux news. everything they say is a sound bite from fox or rush. its sad. they seldom think for themselves.

they collectively hate the UN. why because they are told to hate the UN. they think Indonesia takes their jobs! why because they are not very smart. they didn't listen to john Kerry talk about outsourcing. that its not their fault but our fault.

they are so misinformed its criminal. and it will only get worse unless the media it broken up.

[quaoar]

62. There were a few truly ignorant posts

Such as the comment about now there would be fewer people consuming resources and the "God has trumped the terrorists in Iraq" remark. And one poster even chastised the "trumped" remark: "I am gobsmacked by your naivety."

But I agree that most of it was arguing over the number.

[karlrschneider]

48. Nearly half of the Yahoo posters are just as fukking bad...

:grr:

[devilgrrl]

49. Yeah. All Elaine Chou's relatives got killed....

who knows how many of Michelle Malikin's were dragged out to sea.

52. Here are a couple discussing WJWD

"To: Windsong

"When you failed to do it for the least of these here brethren of mine..you failed to do it for me" --J.C.

You can't give everything to everybody.

Jesus Christ would not aprove of giving money to people to build houses again in an area that is.... lets face it...prone to this activity.

Nothing in the Bible does it say "Blessed are the Stupid.

The government taking money from you and I and giving it away is not charity.

It is forced slavery of You and I.

If I want to give money to help these people...and I will......I want to do it...not have the government tell me that I must do it.

JC hated publicans...tax collectors. And the tax collectors are running this country into the ground with this supposed idea of charity...which has stolen trillions from hard working Americans in the name of.....WE MUST DO IT.....IT IS ONLY RIGHT.

See the great society.....and welfare.....and Social security...and so on and so forth.

Great. Another ignorant newbie chimes in.

So, according to you the Government can take as much money as it wants at the point of a gun, then give it away, and that's somehow 'Christian'?

And if I object to this obscene practice, I'm not a 'good Christian'?

You might want to go back and reread your Bible there, Sparky.

I believe there's a pretty big proscription against stealing.

53. Will MSM pick it up?

Nope. They'll show the Palestinians cheering 9/11 but not good Bush-loving American RW wackos cheering massive loss of life.

[gumby]

54. Freepers (and those on Yahoo) are members of the Death Cult

George Bush is now the undisputed King of the Death Cult. They bow down before Him.

Death, destruction, guts being blown out of children, US soldiers having their bodies and minds destroyed are all the fabulous rewards of electing the Deathly Correct politicians. They wallow together in the Dark Side. They giggle with glee about putting prisoners to death, wars, ecological destruction and the deaths of children by bombs, hunger or disease.

Where were those WMDs? (looks under furniture in Oval Office) Not here! Isn't that funny?

This truly is a dark, dark time.

64. I don't know how any human can take joy in the deaths of thousands

[mcscajun]

69. It's easy...first you figure out a way to see them as less than human.

and if you have no compassion, no empathy whatsoever...and have an ax to grind...the prescription is complete.

It's so very disheartening to see that some people cannot feel at all, and we have so many of them in this country. :cry:

[Piperay]

67. I'll take your word for it

I'm not going there, I would never get the stench off of me. x(

[Shopaholic]

77. We are all children of God.

Black, brown, yellow, and white, Muslim, Buddist, and
Christian. If these people at FR bothered to read their Bible they would note that Christ (who they profess to follow) preached that you had to love your fellow man. Moreover, he professed that you had to love your enemy. If you take hate away from the Freepers, they'd have nothing left because that's all that fills their black souls. I refuse to go read their ramblings because I know that they are truly the agents of satan on this earth.
