A Freeper explains it all for you ...

[gauguin57]

How a Freeper lets themselves off the hook for helping those less fortunate:

"Too little, too late. They should have shot the first looters as soon as it started. I, for one, and not going to send any contributions to a bunch of looters."

What-evah, dude!

[ThoughtCriminal]

1. But if the looting is in Iraq...

Blank check!

:dunce:

[DBoon]

3. It's not called looting when we do it.

It only looks a lot like looting.

[sue_66]

8. Rumsfeld

said that is what free people do(Iraq) they have the freedom to loot. Are we not free in America?:-(

[KingFlorez]

2. Heartless

It's just an excuse for being heartless. Guess what, Freeper? There of thousands of people ready to open their wallets to help these people and you can't stop that.

[gratuitous]

16. Well, it's not like the relief effort will miss his contribution

I mean, how much relief can the 63 cents this gibroney digs out of the cushions in the sofa in his mom's basement buy?

[The Jacobin]

4. "These animals couldn't wait to start looting!"

From the same thread.

Why did I even look. That much crap is just too much for me.

5. The quote saved us the trouble of clicking the link.

They can justify any sort of bullshit, can't they?

I am constantly amazed at their resourcefulness.

And Duers' intestinal fortitude at being able to visit the FREEKERS' Lair without going insane. :hi:

[Nikki Stone 1]

6. Hey, didn't Rush say that it was conservatives who were giving money?

Doesn't that freeper want to be like WalMart? Or is WalMart supporting looters?

[madeline_con]

9. Isn't WalMart being looted?! (gasp)

:wow:

[faithfulcitizen]

7. uh right, like he was really gonna whip out his pocketbook?

[madeline_con]

11. His huge ass makes that impossible....

plus his Rx bill...

[Straight Shooter]

10. I changed someone's mind about the looters today.

She was deploring the looting. I said, "Hey, most of them are after the essentials which will be a total loss anyway unless they're salvaged by someone, anyone. And there's no one there to really run the stores anyway."

She looked at me and said, "Yeah, I guess you're right."

I then told her I'd be looting with the rest of them if it kept me or a loved one surviving a little longer.

F*ck the freepers. Their hearts were not created by God.

[MnFats]

12. Gee, do you detect an undercurrent of racism in Freeper posts?

Maybe it's just me.
But I don't think so.
Some of these Freepers are probably mincing around with their pointy-head sheets on while online.

[kikiek]

13. Aw that old trick of blaming the victim so you can let your conscience off

the hook and not care about anyone else. I suppose after 3 days of no food or water they would patiently wait outside the grocery store for it to open. Yah there are some who are looting other things, but where was the Natl Guard anyways? Oh that's right invading a country for corporate America. Where was FEMA? No one really knows.

[kevinmc]

14. That Guy was never giving anyway ......

Republican's take.

[Webster Green]

15. They are some really sick mofo's

Damn! :crazy:

If I were a Houston resident I'd be p!ssed. That town is going to face these same issues with these animals being imported. Then, it's time for a little Texas Justice. Clean 'em up. Git 'er done !!!!

17. well, charity begins at home, and in freeper families usually stays there.

.

[complain jane]

18. "I, for one..." Why do Freepers always sound like pompous asses

on the internet?

"I for one..." like it's a big profound declaration that anyone actually gives a shit about.

Turds.

[puddycat]

19. most of the people are NOT looters. Media usually only shows the looters

That is why I was so impressed with some of the reporting tonight on TV--the reporters showed all the law-abiding poor citizens on top the highway bridges, etc. trying to do their best to maintain their dignity amidst the horror and suffering.

I do have to agree that looting HAS to be controlled and dealt with harshly and immediately, or the veneer of civilization quickly breaks apart. Liberals are so soft-hearted they often see the good in everyone, but these criminals who loot are opportunist bottom feeders. Most were NOT looting for food. They had big armfuls of pants, etc. They were just thieves.

20. He'll probably be nominated for a FReeperville Humanitarian Award ..

... for even pretending to think about making a contribution.


Since "virtue is its own reward," I'm sure he'll never be rewarded.

[autorank]

21. Well we know who he means by "looters" -- what a load of crap!

:puke:

[Old and In the Way]

22. If he had donated $5.00......

you'd never hear the end of his largesse. Just as well.

One can only hope that he is visited with such a devastating tragedy and is repaid in kind.

[WeirdHoward]

23. Freeper hatefest

I feel like a need a shower after reading the freeper thread. Many racist overtones, and blame the victim posts. Their solutions all seem to be gun or race related. What the people in NO need is a real solution, and it seems the resources are not available. I saw another post that stated that "most of the looters are Democrats." Politicization of a tragedy while people are still suffering and dying is pathetic. I pray for those poor souls.

24. Can someone explain to me why they are not pissed off at Halliburton then

and their looting of our treasury via Iraq? Now, there is some freaking looting on a grand scale.

Trickle-down looting, and that's all I'll say about looting - ever.

[Kurovski]

25. If a novelist wrote this, her editor would remove it

for being too vapid and shallow.

And yet, it's a real person. Sort of.

[Khaotic]

26. Wait till the middle class refugees can't go back to NOLA

Right now the story and the focus is on the poverty stricken individuals that were stuck in NOLA and had to ride it out.

The days are passing now, and some of the people that we've seen wading around in the water or waiting in lines coming out of the Superdome, will be going to the ASStrodome or else where.

But what about those middle class individuals and families that left.

Filled up the family car, took out maybe $1,000 from an ATM if they had the chance, and hit the road.

Thousands upon thousands are staying at friends houses or in hotels.

Their money will dry up quick, credit cards will max, and do you think the Bush World we live in will care?

F*ck no!

I'll be up front ... if I were in that situation down there I would be high and dry and shuffling my entire family back to the hometown I grew up in to stay w/ my parents.

Basically I would be back in the same situation I was in when I graduated high school. No money and no place to go. I just kind of highly doubt that my business will be able to pay their workers for work that isn't happening ... they'll be unemployed, as I suspect I would be if I lived down there.

The polls spell it out, and I, LIKE 60% of Americans, live paycheck to paycheck.

I have insurance, but what the hell is insurance going to do.

If people believe that all the insurance companies are going to pay up they're dreaming.

The fraud will be tremenous. This is where the REAL cockroaches in this country will scurry away ... wait and see.

I would bet there are insurance companies and offices that are disappearing as we speak. No trail, no nothing ... just empty office spaces and no one to sue.

In the meantime many people will have no where to go. No where.

Thousands of people that made it out to survive another day will be waking up to the reality of Bush County. Where idiots on Bret Humes show run their mouths about daunting questions like ... Why should people living in Great Lakes, Ill., shoveling snow every winter, have to subsidize those that "choose" to live in paradise places like New Orleans?

What the F*ck?!!!

I can't remember who the hell that guy was and didn't stick around on Faux News to find out.

This is their mentality!?!

If you want to define evil don't look to paint it red and put horns on it ... just watch the likes of Faux News.

I mean, damn. I guess this guy would have NO tax dollars going toward relief because the people live in a place that doesn't get snow in the winter?

I know what he's getting at (I don't agree, but I know the likes of that mentality) ... but Katrina did damage as far North as Kentucky. Where does this guy live?

Get out a globe guy and tell me that each land mass isn't a puzzle piece ... tell me f*cker!

This earth has been going through massive changes since it was created, however that was, and there's not one of us that doesn't stand a chance of having a devastating natural disaster to take us down.

If an earthquake can't get ya a hurricane or tornado can.

Just ask the residents of Miami about tornados. A pretty infrequent event there, but it happen in Miami a couple of years ago. Bottomline, you don't have to live in Kansas and in a trailer home for mother nature to send it up your rear w/ a tornado.

This is not to mention massive droughts, snow storms, dust bowls, etc., etc.

Do these people really ... I mean REALLY want to live in a no holds barred country where only the fittest survive? Neocon Anarchy?

God Dammit! These Christian Reich Neocons kill me!

I would say, may they roast in hell, but chances are the bible's description of hell falls far short of what these people deserve.

Wait till gas is at $4.50 and $5.00 a gallon and everyone is walking around with a F*ck you attitude ready to snap.

We may just see another civil war in our lifetimes.

My rant is done ... NEXT.

[Khaotic]

27. Like "Falling Down" only times 500,000 people

This country is doing to snap.



Just like Micheal Douglas in "Falling Down" only times 500,000+ people.

It's like you can feel the boil now.

The gas prices and finding out that BushCo contributed to the NOLA situation by not funding the Corps of Engineers is really going to send some people over the top.

Some really good people, some making a combined family income of more than 100,000 and living in a really nice home, will be on the streets ... literally on the f*cking streets.

People will snap!
