Pssssst.. Freeps, you gotta see this...
Edited on Tue Aug-16-05 03:21 PM by walldude
Sorry bout the :rant: DU’ers. After 5 minutes in freepville I got a little um... out of sorts.


First the crosses: Number one they are not a “religious” display, they were put there as a makeshift memorial to honor the young men and women who died fighting for YOUR RIGHT TO BE FUCKING STUPID AND IGNORANT. no one else was doing it so we had to.
If you had any brains at all you would have seen that there are not just crosses but Crescent Moons, Stars of David and U.S. Flags also consistant with the U.S. Constitution's statement of religious freedom. This display on Public Property is perfectly legal, and besides making yourselves look like total assholes by degrating the soldiers who actually fight real battles and not “the battle of ideas” you are AIDING AND ABETTING TERRORIST ENEMIES, by lowering the moral of our soldiers who see this and wonder just who and what they are fighting for. Get it? No? I didn’t think so.

Second. Fake protests. Just what the fuck is a “fake” protest? Are you talking about when a man who never served in the armed forces who dresses up like a military commander, loads a bus full of Chickenhawks and spends 30 minutes drinking lemonade and chanting really clever phrases? Yes that is a fake protest. Cindy is a real protest. She went down to Texas and the whole world followed her. I love her, if for nothing else, than the fact that she is pissing you guys off and making you look like the anti-troop anti-American assholes you really are. Maybe you should get some more magnetic ribbons for your trucks, that’ll show her.

Third. “Don’t mess with Texas? LMAO!!! What the fuck is that? What does Texas have to do with anything? Unless you count the fact that your drunken, drugged out leader's P.R. people got him this little “ranch” during the 2000 election, so he could wear the hat and play “cowboy” on national TV. Pssst, a little secret for you. Bush is a silver spoon in the mouth, drunken, frat boy from Conneticut. You know the same type of person you are always making fun of. I guess you think he’s the exception huh…. Oh and he's afraid of horses.. And he blows goats too...

Fourth. And this is my favorite, advocating the “asassination” of a grieving mother is, all at once, pathetic, stupid, self-destructive and frightening. Thankfully the DU’ers knew how to get in touch with the FBI. Maybe you guys should apologize before the government has to spend your tax dollars to protect Cindy from, um… you. The hilarious thing is you guys would piss and moan about your tax dollars being used to protect the life of someone you advocated killing. :rofl: Could you be anymore brainless and self-destructive? Oh and one last thing, you’ve already lost this battle, if anything happens to her you will lose the war. Then you and Falafal man along with his sidekick Oxycotin boy will have to start all over again.

Ok.. one more thing.. if you want to go do a counter protest maybe you should bring along a few of these:


Or are the whole lot of you all chickenhawks? Psst, that was a rhetorical question.

On edit-Ok.. just onemore thing You freeps mention the guy who's son was a marine and wanted his sons cross taken down. Maybe you should look into the story a little more before you get it blasted on TV. The guy ended up crying and hugging Cindy at the end of the day. Please go back on your medication and enjoy the "reality" GWB has created for you.

:hi: I got your PM. I'm not sure what to do with that photo above, though it works well for this post. You could blow it up to make a sign. Are you going to Crawford? :)

Edited on Tue Aug-16-05 03:06 PM by walldude
like we are going to make it. We have shifted priorities to trying to get to Washington on Sept 24th. We have 3 kids and my wife has Muscular Dystrophy so going somewhere spontaneously is not easy for us.

Don't worry about the pic, I didn't know what you were doing so I figured if you could use it fine if not no biggie. If we make it to Washington I will have it blown up as a poster...

6. good grief! did a poster on Free republic threaten Cindy Sheehan's life???
I would hope someone there removed the post and called the police!

That is a crime!

I'm sure the managers over there did the right thing
:sarcasm:

If not, someone here should take the initiative!

13. I haven't been over there recently, but it doesn't surprise me...
threatening the lives of people -- especially nonviolent people -- seems to be a site-wide pastime over there.

50. These people are desperate - they should be reported...
Whenever anyone threatens someone's life ... that is legally termed a terroristic threat. It is against the law.

Because Cindy is so symbolic to many people on both sides and because so many on the far right are becomming unhinged and have been following people who are supposed to support the laws of this country but continually do the opposite.. her life really could be in danger.

Thanks to whoever reported it. I know I've given an earfull on this subject more than once. There was that as*h**e who said (on his own National radio show) that he had taken off his WWJD bracelet and thought he'd be forgiven if he killed Michael Moore.

I no longer remember all the specifics, so many freakoids, so little time... but I do know I got onto the website for the station and wrote to his boss or the station boss and told them that they were allowing that man to behave irresponsibly - that such threats were illegal - terroristic threats and that it would serve them right if Michael Moore sued them and used the money to make a movie.

When people start threatening to kill people because of their party affiliation or because they are speaking truth to power we need to push back big time and make it public. These guys are like roaches that are emboldened when the light isn't shining on their deeds or if people's backs are turned.

18. Reported to the FBI tip link
The post was pulled but someone has screenshots. If there's a God in heaven some richly deserving FReeper will be getting a lesson on how the world has changed since 9/11...from the spooks.

C'mon, FBI, convert me from agnosticism! lol

21. Nomifreakingnated.
Take a bow for that one. I never, EVER go to a wingnut site because I`d explode. None of my rants here at DU gave me the degree of satisfaction this one of yours did. Nice job.

The wingnuts have a lot of nerve using the word "fake" against anyone or anything. Leading their party is the Mother of All Fakes.... little aristocratic, Connecticut-born, fake cowboy.... Junior Bush with his fake flight suit and fake plastic turkey using fake excuses causing the deaths and maimings of tens of thousands. And, who is his Big Helpmate? Why, fake Brave Man Dick Cheney who decided...Why stop at three deferrments from the Vietnam War when he could get FIVE?

I want to vomit.

aimed at 18-24 yr old boys, whom the state study identified as the worst offenders.

40. Thank you for putting into words exactly what I was feeling.
I was over there reading that thread for a quick minute. I hate that place that we don't speak of, but I was hoping there would be some backlash from some of them that we won't name for what was done to the crosses and flags. I saw maybe 2-3 that did not think it was "histerical" (their spelling).

52. i love it when blood pressure triggers keyboard therapy
this is wonderful stuff -- a rant only in the sense that it was immediate. so well said. the emotion is completely proportional. right on.

i read both sides of this mess yesterday. don't have the energy for it today. no one is ever going to "win." the subtext of fighting is just sickening. there's no winning and losing here.

i saw some rational stuff over there yesterday. a lot of people saying "whoa, that's uncool." i hope the people who experienced "reason" would "sit with" this material. try not to "answer." just think.

this isn't fashion. it's real people and real lives and our future history. there's an opportunity to understand more and believe less.
