Fun with the Freepi in Crawford-"Arrests, rhetoric highlight protests"

“This is our rally and you can't do that here,” he said, only for <Ken> Robinson to insist he was within his rights.

Camera crews rushed in and Taylor turned to face them.

“To all the media here, this sign is not representative of the crowd here today,” Taylor announced. Some of the crowd around Robinson came forward to shake his hand, while others chanted, “Idiot, go home.”

The two men then squared off and raised their voices.

“Just get outta here!” Robinson yelled, and aimed a kick at Taylor's midsection. Taylor called for security, and a young Woodway policeman quickly showed up.

1. "Freepi" - Freeper mascot? or plural for a bunch of them?

:rofl:

3. It's plural

The visual of someone trying to kick Kristinn Taylor in the balls had me rolling.

:D

2. this passage says it aLL

In addition, however, there was a pro-Bush camp that sprouted alongside a souvenir shop specializing in President Bush dolls, T-shirts and coffee cups; a West Coast caravan dubbed “You Don't Speak for Me, Cindy!” that took over the football stadium Saturday afternoon to rally on behalf of U.S. troops; and Operation Iraqi Hope, made up of family members who have lost loved ones in Iraq but still support the war.

4. Well of course someone is going to try to make a buck

Goes without saying. ;)

5. We saw that b##ch sign earlier

and it's good to hear that it was objected to by some freepers and isn't there now.

But it is still a sickening feeling that bush would have supporters that care enough to make that trip. Even if you aren't sure that soldiers should come home now who could fail to see that we were duped into war and then that the war was poorly planned and that all bush does about it is spout platitudes?

6. The only reason it was denounced

is because camera crews were there. If no one was there to film it, it wouldn't have been a problem. Don't give these guys too much credit. They just don't want people to know how they really think.

8. Exactly gatorboy.

It wasn't that they disagreed with the sign, it's that it made them look bad.

"Shhh! stop relaying our real message!" :eyes:

9. Of course you are right but

I am still glad they got rid of the sign.

For instance if there were signs at Camp Casey that said bush is a lying fucking idiot we'd agree with it, but we wouldn't want that sign there, though it is the truth.

10. bingo!

that was my thought as well
