Freepers & Fundies are getting ahead of us
This has been posted a few times & gone into DU limbo. There's a petition to impeach Judge Greer. We had a lot of fun with it last week & actually added some rational comments, & some pretty funny (& sick) ones too. We all know how effective these online petitions are, but it can still be fun. Anybody can post. Have at it DUers.

Here's the link: http://www.petitiononline.com/ijg520/petition.html

3. Many times
Feel free, there are no checks, THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY had some words of wisdom to impart too. Don't even worry about the zip code. Put anything you want there. The whole thing's so bogus it's laughable.

7. Just added one
Don't know what your problem is.

Keep trying, sometimes it works & sometime it doesn't.

Kinda bogus but still can be fun.

4. Poetic justice ...
It's only right that those who, for political power, have stirred up this nest of vipers and creepy-crawlies get bitten with the very venom they'd intend for others.

9. About 17,000 to 21,000 we were more prevalent
Every page (almost) during those numbers had more of us than them.

But that's your opinion & priviledge.

15. 17,000 ? .... 21,000 ??? ...
Hmmmmm .. Let's cipher ....

The current known adult population of the US is approximately 290,000,000 .. of which approx. 225,953,387 are 16 years of age and older ... (those who would post political opinions on such documents like petitions ) ....

Now: There is a pool of individuals who could express a political opinion (226,000,000) ... and then there is the approx. 21,000 signatories whom have graced your 'worrisome' petition ...

Lets crunch ....

21,000 / 226,000,000 = 9.2920353982300884955752212389381e-5 ...

9.2920353982300884955752212389381e-5 x 100 = 0.0092920353982300884955752212389381 percent .....

Hmmmm .... that would be the TOTAL percentage of americans of age whom have decided to 'get ahead of us' on that dangerous petition ..... 0.009 % ......

Oh .. but WAIT ! .... There's MORE ! ....

(Feelin like Ron Popeil here ) ....

Some of those who have written their opinions ... DO agree with liberals ..... even if they are 'losing the important battle' ...

so: lets be generous to the opposition ... let say they are winning 80/20 percent .....

That would be 0.8 x 0.009 % = 0.007 % .....

You are worried about 0.007 % of the american public ....

So you can see: ... we should be EXTREMELY concerned about the 0.007 % of the assholes and idiots of our nation .. and hurry up and counter their extremely effective opinionating and ruminating ... before it is too late ....

Ehem .... cough ....

16. Just having fun
If you don't want to participate that's your priviledge.

You really need to lighten up.

23. I hear your point, and it's very reasonable. That said,
it was merely 3 individual letter writers who got 24 other people to send the FCC thousands of complaints regarding Janet Jackson's breast appearing on live TV.

So, sometimes the mouse does roar.








But luckily for all of us, we don't need that many DUers to irritate the Freeper petitioners either.

So participate or not, as you like.

It's all good.

11. I can't even read the comments.
For some reason, I get to the page that has all the numbers & stuff, but when I click on any range of numbers, it doesn't bring up any of the comments.

24. I was at the site last night and copied a few to send
my co-workers so I'll share a few here since you're having trouble with the site. Glad the DUers are hitting this site again. I was laughing my head off last night going through the comments. Of course, some of the right-winger's comments are pretty hilarious too but they probably don't know that. ;)


18143. compassionate conservative I'm quite pleased to see my fellow conservatives speaking out in defense of the defenseless. I wish I had a feeding tube for each and every one of you.

29886. James A. Smithart Like Terri Schaivo I too was in a permanent vegitative state for 15 years after I suffered cardiac arrest as a result of being bulimic. The doctors said I could never think straight again. Now I am a Republican activist in Florida. Of course, I still don't have much of a brain, but my boss says that won't matter in this profession.

29728. Very Pious I pray for you Terri. I pray for your soul and I pray that the Lord will reach out and touch Judge Greer in his private area - touch him real softly and slowly in a kind of Michael Jackson way. Slowly and smoothly, while whispering in his ear. That's what I pray for. That and a mercedes benz. My friends all drive porches, I must make amends.

29538. Saddam Hussein It worked for me to remove the judges who applied the law instead of my will.

29277. God Moderator can bite my rear and hold on tight. Send her to me !!! Why are you keeping her soul locked in her body when she can come to me? What are you affraid of ?

14. 32555 -- Aaron Morrow
"This man in no way has adhered or even considered the public's opinion in his ruling. Furthermore, making a judgement without weighing all the facts (they didn't do the autopsy until after Terri died, with respect to the extent of her brain damage), in my eyes, is mal-practice."

Hey dipstick -- I prefer a judge who interprets the law and does not cave in to public opinion, but did you see any of the poll results?

And you wanted an autopsy performed before Terri died ???

:crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

25. When I first read your post, I thought you were quoting
a comment you had posted. "Hey, that autopsy part is pretty funny." Then I read further and saw it was a post by a right-wing fundie whacko (excuse the redundancy). Oh man, that is just plain scary. OK, let's all call into the talk shows tomorrow and bitch how Michael should have demanded that an autopsy be done BEFORE they pulled the feeding tube. And next time I go to the doc, I'm going to demand that he perform an autopsy on me. If he won't, I'll just sue him for malpractice. Aaron said I could.

Aaron Morrow in 2008. How scary would THAT be?

28. After I read his comment, I actually said out loud a few
times, "Aaron Morrow, Aaron Morrow," accenting different syllables, since the DUers who posted used silly names or double-entendres. The poor freepsheep are trying to make a serious point and have no idea how goofy they come across!

I can see Aaron Morrow running for office: "Consistent with the culture of life, I support full funding of living autopsies!" (Crowd roars)

18. It's hard to tell if some of these signatures are from people
who genuinely feel that Judge Greer should be impeached or someone being silly.

27503. fran toohey save terri! she feels pain of menstrual cramps, she feels! 07021

Okay, I really hope that no one shared with Fox News that Terri felt menstrual cramps in her vegetative state. Will there be no end to the indignity?

22. I don't know about Faux News but
it's all over the web. Supposedly some nurses testified that Terri felt menstrual cramps. Whether or not the nurses *actually* testified to that I don't know. The whacko fundies obviously didn't care one bit about Terri's dignity. They would stop at nothing to "save" her. Unfortunately, the only thing she needed saving from was them.

29. Oh good gravy, I hope Terri's body is buried far, far away
from where these whackjobs can find her and continue the indignity, maybe someplace inaccessible, like what Princess Diana has.

At least her spirit is soaring far from the madness.
