2. here is how stupid it really is:
To: All
Anyone who thinks Hanoi Kerry and Hanoi Jane
aren't behind the anti war crowd
needs to get a clue.

Dallas/Fort Worth Star-Telegram 8-28-05 Jack Douglas Jr.
CRAWFORD TX-
President Bush's supporters poured into Crawford by the thousands Saturday,
for the first time outnumbering war protesters led by Cindy Sheehan,
who began a vigil here three weeks ago,
demanding a personal meeting with the vacationing president
to talk about her son's death in Iraq.

Lame Stream Media : News Flash!

President Bush already met with Cindy Sheehan in June 2004 for 10 minutes.

34. How to get a true count of how many people are at a protest

  1. Go to Fox News - usually the best site for the basis of your calculations
  2. Whatever number they give for the progressive/liberal group - multiply that by 4-5
  3. Whatever number they give for the conservative/pro-bush group - divide that by 10
  4. Final results are the real numbers of how many at the protest


Example:

I was flipping through the channels after the "March for Choice" rally in Dc in April 2004. Fox News channel estimated the Pro-Choice crowd to be around 200,000 thousand and the anti-choice crowd to be around 3000.

As being part of the protest and seeing the idiot anti-choicers - numbers were more like 750k-1million for us pro-choicers and about 200-300 anti-choicer. What was funny was the area for the anti-choicers (surrounded by mounted cops) there were a ton of pro-choicers standing behind them and I think they got counted with the anti-choice just to bulk the numbers!

This was the first of many stupid threads over there.

They really think a bunch of brain dead rednecks waving flags is helping the troops.

aLso, they're hyping up their numbers (whatever) and cLaiming to be the "siLent majority". you're not the majority, and you're certainLy not siLent.

11. more inanity!
To: NewLand
I am so grateful to be a part of a great national movement of Patriots standing strong against the Enemies of America Within the Borders, while our Brave Troops fight the Enemy Abroad.

Can you imagine what it would have been like if our Founding Fathers had had Free Republic?

19. If our Founding Fathers had Free Republic,
we'd be singing "God Save the Queen"!!!! LIBERALS founded this country; conservatives wanted to stay with England. Just goes to show the idiots don't know their history EITHER.

they read that. To them, this would not compute. You would drive them crazy trying to figure this one out.

13. We should just give up. How can we ever prevail against this wit?
One camera woman was filming a worn-out old hippie carrying some ridiculous sign and I said loudly, within her earshot, "Boy, the cameras really love the anti-war protesters." She turned around and gave me the dirtiest look. I said to her, "Well, it's true," and walked away.

I too am reduced to speechless agog-ery in the face of such rapier wit. :eyes:

14. More like "Freepers pat selves on humps after stupid rally"
"We done good, Igor."

My apologies for the correct punctuation. It's so un-freeperlike.

35. This really IS a representation of "Bewsh Countreh!"
Fat sweaty asses, beet-red necks, painted-on clothing, giant gashog vehicles, hats that could act as an umbrella to eight people, jingoism and empty symbols aplenty, zero ethnicity, zero creativity, zero irony . . . and not an OPEN MIND among them all . . .

24. freerepublic you don't speak for anyone
"once again played such a crucial role in fighting for the side of freedom, liberty, and support for our country's national security, values and heritage"

Dear Free Republic,

You don't fight for the side of freedom, or liberty, nor do you support national security, nor would you know a value if it bit you in the ass. You may indeed support your heritage of lynching, bigotry, racism, sexism, and intolerance because of the very people who fought for your first amendment rights and for your freedom to be a bunch of rabid assholes, many of whom are the very people you despise.

If you think you're fighting for my freedom, my liberty, or my values, it's a fight to the death. Just as soon as you drag your sloppy asses out from around that keyboard and dust the cheetos off your greasy chins and manboobs we'll get down to business.

My freedoms and liberties and values mean not going to war for a lie, not proudly killing our soldiers; the honor bound and dutiful children of our nation, for the petty ambitions of a petty man, not deluding ourselves that setting back civil rights and replacing a stable political system with an unstable fundamental religious oligarchy is "bringing freedom" to the ignorant middle east savages, or that mortgaging your ability to pay for healthcare as a senior, and your children's ability to do anything but pay off your debts is a value that you should be proud of.

You have blood on your hands, but that's not new. You have always been around claiming patriotism and nationalism and fighting for rights and freedoms and values, starting with the massacres of the native Americans, and your fight to keep the institution of slavery and after that your fight to keep institutionalized racism, and your fight to steal civil rights from some Americans because they don't love someone on your approved list, your fight to force your religious beliefs and butt-damn-stupidity down everyone's throats.

You have fought against laws that prevented and punished lynching, and against convictions that resulted from those laws, you've fought to keep illegal immigrants dying in the desert on our borders, and you've fought to keep legal immigrants from getting full citizenship; you have fought to have twinkies and "gay rage" be your defense for killing another human and you have fought for the right to take away the rights of anyone who doesn't look or talk or think exactly like you.

You don't speak for anyone but yourselves. Go home. Stay there. Stop embarrassing us.

You may be American, but you are NOT what America stands for.
