pro-war protesters attack each other at Camp Casey????

[bos1]

Can anyone tell me more about this incident mentioned in this Yahoo news article? Or can you tell me where to go to find out? Who did these pro-Bush protesters attack and whose signs did they tear down?

In one heated moment, members of the pro-Bush crowd turned on what they mistakenly thought were a group of anti-war protesters, cursing them, threatening them and tearing down their signs. A police officer rushed the group to safety.

1. They sure are some violent people aren't they

2. They should take their fighting instincts to Iraq.

3. Some "mainstream" pro-war demonstrators

ripped up signs belonging to a couple of Protest Warrior demonstrators.

4. Did they identify themselves as part of...

... the Protest Warriors? That's not their usual practice--usually, they mingle amongst the protestors they're opposing, rather than supporters.

If they did get attacked by their own, that's wonderful payback.

Cheers.

5. Really?! Link or source, please!

6. Here ya go

9. Thanks a mil. More link here. Can I credit you somehow when I

put something about it on http://warcheerleaders.andmuchmore.com?

Check it out, all. The PW's are squabbling among themselves and generally getting nailed by the antiwar forces, and on their own website! As one post has it, "Funniest. Shit. Ever. Republicans attacking Republicans."

13. No credit, I was just around earlier for that conversation

You're lucky I don't have problems with my short term memory! lol

I've never seen that warcheerleaders site before, looks interesting, taking a meander....Whereabouts on the site will you post about the imbecile PWs?

[bos1]

14. I will just put it as the headliner in the next posting, probably tomorrow

depending on what info and images and such I can dig up. This is one of the best ones for a while and no one has run with it yet as far as I know.

[magellan]

17. Bos1, you RUN War Cheerleaders, Laptop Warriors & Other Everyday Loons?

ROTFLMAO, it's terrific! And the Protest Warrior incident definitely qualifies as one of many "DOH!" RW-loony stories.

Sorry, didn't realize right away that that's your site. Caffeine fix hasn't kicked in yet.

Good job!

[bos1]

18. THANKS! Maybe you could tell people about it.

I am not exactly flooded with hits at this point. I took a break from it for a few months and people forgot about it. But there is a lot there to enjoy, since the warloons are an everlasting source of absurdity and cretinism.

[magellan]

19. Sure!

I've bookmarked your site and will certainly share it. In fact, why not start here:

Everyone!

If you're in need of a laugh at the expense of the Right (and who isn't?) then visit War Cheerleaders, Laptop Warriors & Other Everyday Loons for real stories about real idiots.

:rofl: :applause:

How's dat? :patriot:

22. Wow, instant results! and now a limited time offer

just for those reading this thread...(drumroll)...the Greatest Hits!

20. At least put the link in your sig line! n/t

[bos1]

23. thanks I just went thru options trying to figure that out. I am sure I

will any day now.

[bos1]

26. testing, new sig. line. and what is "n/t" anyway?

[nankerphelge]

29. no text

[magellan]

30. Unless you're counting hits or depend on the advertising, Bos1

...I'd change the link in your sig line to your main page at http://belfries.tripod.com/warcheerleaders.htm. The Enter page is a little confusing.

Just a little friendly advice. :)

[bos1]

31. thanks... is it a popup? I got a blocker so I don't even know. NT!

[magellan]

33. I use a pop-up blocker too

I use Firefox so if there's a pop-up I'm not seeing it. But other than that, your 'front door' has bits and pieces that aren't anything to do with your site, other than the 'ENTER' link. It's a little off-putting. Always best to provide a direct link so visitors get right to the dirt! ;)

[bos1]

34. god, I didn't know. Does it do it the second time too?

Maybe they only pull that the first time (I hope against hope). I thought that URL-redirect service was too good to be true.

[Eloriel]

21. Could you run that link thru tinyurl or something?

This is the message we're gtting now:

You have been bannished from this forum.
Please contact your local psychiatrist for more information.


(More rightwing projection, obviously.) :rofl:

27. Oh, they must ban any links via DU. Try this URL:

10. sorry to be dense, but... explain?

[B Calm]

11. You do know how Pat Tillman was killed???

[bos1]

12. oh, a friendly-fire reference, I take it.

[colbushwhacker_2000]

25. What a bunch

idiots.... ! These morons couldn't find their backside with both hands.

[annabanana]

15. apparently the pro-war crowd read 1/2 of the sign..

and that was all they had to see! (The second half would have revealed that the protest warriors were on their side)

karma, kiddies, karma...

[bos1]

28. yeah the PW's made the War Cheerleader Hall of Infamy long ago,

right at #2, but I haven't checked out their site in a long time. Looks like they are melting.

[gasperc]

16. something about only oppose wars when democrats are Prez

and the people had to explain they were pro Bush, the contortion being that trust republicans to take us to war it'll be for the right reasons, democrats go to war for the wrong reasons.

[catmandu57]

24. It sounds like Saruman's orcs

met up with Sauron's orcs.

[HadItUpToHere]

32. well...they are PRO-WAR...

what else could you expect?

[bos1]

35. Well here is the take on it on "warcheerleaders" if anyone is interested.
