6. Did they ask why we sent them?
Because of the criminal enterprise known as The Project for the New American Century (PNAC)?

Yes, please make a huge deal out of this wingnuts. Please. We would love to introduce the average American to this neocon (mafia) organization.

3. Republicans (in general)
have never done a nice thing for another person. Ever.
It's just not in their DNA.

If a republican gives someone a flower...
it's not to make the other person happy or feel better...
it so that the other person will like THEM or feel better about THEM
It's all about THEM isn't it ?!

Greedy self-aborbed Republican twits !!!

5. Only a completely mean fucker could ever have a problem with ANYONE
giving flowers to an old lady.

It shows them for what they are--stupid, hateful, blinded, desperate ideologues. Vicious shitheels.

This is the sort of thing a reasonable person would IGNORE, if it didn't suit their political perspective--not spend time carping on about it.

But hey, if you're too chickenshit to head off to EyeRack to fight the MonkeyWar, beating up on an old lady is a SWELL way to make your testosterone surge!!

12. The Newsbusters website should be called the Liars' Club.
It's just as bad as Freak Republic. They pull these mindless assertions out of their asses ("The economy has never been better") and act like saying so makes it so...typical freeper magical thinking!

7. Partisanship aside, Helen Thomas received those roses in part
because we admired her poise in the face of a lot of nastiness, because we believe she does her job, and because we sense in her an authentic journalist with a keen eye for what's going on coupled with the talent and dedication to relay it to others.

It was a gesture of praise for a deserving person.

And THAT'S what's upsetting the freepers? Good god.

Who do they send stuff to? Ann Coulter? And what would they send? Poison ivy?

We hold Helen Thomas high because she soldiers on with dignity, fighting to save the castle against the red horde of rightwing nutcases and liars that comprise Bush and his rat-souled supporters.

You go, Helen.

9. Do yourself a favor - don't click the link.
Here's an example of the level of discourse at that site:

"People are in poverty because THEY WANT TO BE." And of course, they equivocate this illegal war by comparing it to Clinton's Iraq policy. :eyes:

It's a shame that a nice gesture has to be deconstructed in such a toxic manner.

Thanks again to all the generous people who took it upon themselves to create a little good in the world. It was worth it. :thumbsup:

14. Too late. I know where Bob Boudlelang's been hanging out, though...
Edited on Fri Mar-31-06 06:59 PM by Buns_of_Fire
The truth is The Great President George W Bush has created from slick willies blow out economic failure a tremendous massive increase in our National GDP, and therefore President Bush has made the USA the greatest productive economy on the entire face of the planet, and the largest economic output of any nation in all of history.

Just the facts about President Bush's tremendous benevolence to the USA will be enough. A couple extra trillion dollars plus added to the American landscape every year. (emphasis mine)

I kid you not -- this is cut 'n' pasted exactly as it sits (except for my emphasis). :rofl:

19. I saw that. Unbelievable, isn't it?
If I ran my household 'economy' like republicans run the nation's economy - I'd be hungry, wet, and cold. I hope that was posted by a liberal with a deep appreciation for irony and sarcasm. If there's a bushbot who actually believes that bullshit, I have a bridge here on the bay that I'd like to sell - cheap. :D

13. I like the sarcastic question: "Wonder what she is going to do with
all those flowers...take them to Walter Reed?"

Uh...yeah. That's exactly what she did.

:P

They can send him some dead cats.

Cats

WL427-16 $41.65

Don't be fooled by the others! Unlike many others, our cats are never frozen during processing or storage. Therefore, we are able to provide cats with tissue intact. To ensure full preservation and increased shelf life, these specimens are processed under pressure with a formalin solution.

Specimen comes complete with bag and waterproof ID tag. Save a great deal of time and reduce lab waste by ordering our skinned cats. As we have an approximate 50:50 ratio of female:male cats in stock, your order will usually represent the same. For an additional charge of $1.00 each, gender selection is available. Please designate on your order.
