Freepers: Ostriches with their heads in the sand(Re: Mosul blast)

[Goathead]

I was just checking out Freerepublic.com to see what their reaction to the Mosul blast killing at least 24 people would be. There is not one mention of the incident on that site. Nothing. They believe that if you don't look at a problem it will go away. Or that acknowledging dead soldiers will hurt moral and "lose" us the war in Iraq. These people are sick, sick, sick. They dishonor those who have died by ignoring them, they are shameful, spiteful, hate-filled people and they represent everything that is wrong with America.

1. There was a thread over there this morning

with only 40 or so replies.. Most were saying the usual, "Time to nuke Mosul". It was sickening to read.

2. But I did find out where I can buy Inaugeral Ball tickets for $175.00.

I can even wear my cowboy suit (but not my vulgar "Kerry-Edwards" T-shirt!)
Also there is an interesting article about liberal activist judges ruining the country. Ho-hum.

3. I saw one crackpot thread where they blamed the French

for supplying the weapons. The back up theory was, if it wasn't the fault of the French, it was the Russians and that whomever had supplied the weapons "would be dealt with."

7. Sure

We'll use the magic army Bush keeps in his Toy box to go get those French. The Army is in Iraq. It's not going anywhere which means we ain't gettin no one if we wanted to. And the rest of the world understands this.

4. Figures

I was tempted earlier to do the same thing, and see what they were saying about it but then thought better of it.

That's how it is over there, they bury a lot of bad press stories that they think hurts the image of their furher, I noticed in the past they would delete threads that were news stories about little scandals of Bush government.

that sat back like NATO with their dirty hands (really
bloody hands) did nothing. What did people think was going to happen. Not one person is responisable for this.
Everyone involved is responisable for this. Im tired of
people pointing fingers at BUSH. There alot more fingers
pointing at him saying ''WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT
9/11..AND HE SHOWED YOU. WE ARE A COUNTRY THAT DOESN'T THINK TWICE ABOUT OUR OWN ACTIONS. NOW RIDE THE STORM OUT
AND DEAL WITH IT!!!!

11. Why are you going to ESPN for political opinions?

That makes about as much sense as coming over here for real news.

[bossfish]

12. I go there for college football...

...and then some "political" discussions break out.

Mostly a bunch of internet tough guys.

14. Hey, were you been?

You haven't posted in awhile. It's hard to forget somebody's political opinions like yours.

[Ms. Clio]

15. Perhaps you could clarify what you mean by that

Are you implying that coming to DU for "real news" is a waste of time?

[Goathead]

8. I just went back and found them

Talking about dropping nukes and MOABs on Mosul, sick. They weren't on the "Front page" they had a special archive for Iraq war articles

[HEAVYHEART]

10. I HATE FREEPERS!!!

[Must_B_Free]
