Anyone else get this crap via email?

Disgusting, but par for the course for Jingoism Is Us. BTW, the script was all in red. Do you think that was for the blood that is on *'s hands? Probably not.

RED FRIDAYS


Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing Red every Friday. The reason?

Americans who support our troops used to be called the "silent majority".
We are no longer silent, and are voicing our love for God, country and home in record breaking numbers.

We are not organized, boisterous or over-bearing. We get no liberal media coverage on TV, to reflect our message or our opinions. Many Americans, like you, me and all our friends, simply want to recognize that the vast majority of America supports our troops.

Our idea of showing solidarity and support for our troops with dignity and respect starts this Friday -and continues each and every Friday until the troops all come home, sending a deafening message that..

Every red-blooded American who supports ourmen and women afar, will wear something red.

By word of mouth, press, TV -- let's make the United States on every Friday a sea of red much like a homecoming football game in the bleachers.

If every one of us who loves this country will share this with
acquaintances, co-workers, friends, and family. It will not be long before the USA is covered in RED and it will let our troops know the once "silent" majority is on their side more than ever, certainly mo re than the media lets on.

The first thing a soldier says when asked "What can we do to make things better for you?" is...We need your support and your prayers.

Let's get the word out and lead with class and dignity, by example; and wear something red every Friday.

I sent this out to everyone on my email list. Will you?

WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, ONLY BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE.

THEIR BLOOD RUNS RED-WEAR RED!

MOST OF ALL - GOD BLESS AMERICA

1. Hey Freeps -- red is the color of Communism -- didn't you know?

nt

[BrklynLiberal]

2. No one I know would DARE send that to me. They know the response they

would get. :nuke:

[DancingBear]

11. My father-in-law sent this to us

Oh boy, is his daughter gonna have a thing or two to say when she sees it...

[evlbstrd]

3. Around here, we wear red on Fridays.

But it's for the Chiefs, dammit.

[lazarus]

4. If you really want to confuse these idiots

steal a line from Bill Hicks, circa Gulf War 1: "I'm actually for the war, but against the troops."

[Kukesa]

28. LOL n/t

[MissB]

5. I never get shit like that.

In fact, I never get freakin' chain emails. :shrug:

[swimmernsecretsea]

6. I think they should paint their asses red

like baboons.

[sui generis]

21. baboons in heat

[PunkPop]

7. Thanks for the laugh.

I needed that today.

Shit, I need it just about every day.

[MisterP]

8. most soldiers I know want body armor, not words

maybe they just interviewed the Fighting 101st, Keyboarders Brigade.
And Bush always wears BLUE shirts--that'll make their heads spin, their God-King never wearing red (though he's a lot like Nancy Reagan in most every other respect).

[napi21]

9. OH MAN! Now I have to remember never to wear red on Fri!

It's not much of a problem because I rarely wear anything red!

I guess they're promoting what they believe in, and they really aren't bothering anyone. I say, that's fine if it makes you happy.

I like this a whole lot better than the agressive Pubs who buy lots of air time to spew their hate and lies.

[babylonsister]

10. Yes, I rec'd this after Katrina hit from my

freeper brother. I also rec'd it numerous times this summer, and have seen it posted on DU as well. Since red isn't my color, I ignored. :)

[ThoughtCriminal]

12. I've seen that!

[TwilightZone]

13. Yeah, that's been making the rounds for a while.

Whatever happened to "better dead than red"? ;)

[Hamlette]

14. ooo, great, gang colors go mainstream

[NightHawk63]

15. Yep. Got it from a former marine friend here at work.

He automatically assumes that since I'm also a veteran, that I'm sympathetic to this kind of crap. I've always tried to avoid political discussions with him because I know that he's a rabid right winger.

[txindy]

16. Wow, this would be ever so helpful

The first thing a soldier says when asked "What can we do to make things better for you?" is...We need your support and your prayers.

The insurgency will really be in its last throes and all veterans will have their benefits restored because of the brave wingnuts wearing red on Fridays. :eyes: I'm just ever so certain that that is exactly what every soldier wants as support. Forget body armour and armoured vehicles! A red blouse will solve every problem. If they throw in some red socks, world hunger will cease to exist, too.

[yorkiemommie1]

17. i have red items but since the election

haven't felt like wearing them.

i will wear BLUE on fridays!!!!!!!

[FuzzyDicePHL]

23. Blue!

I like your idea! I'll join you. Blue it is.

[sui generis]

18. Durrr... we weren't against the soldiers jackass

we were against the war. Oh I hope I get one, please please please.

So I guess everyone who wears red on Friday after this is just fucking stupid. Big red banner that says hey, I got the memo but my poor reading comprehension skills have led me to dress up like a freedom fruit.

Remember, raspberry juice runs red too.

Yee haw!

[TheCowsCameHome]

19. Second to last line tells it all - their blood runs red on Iraqi soil

[Historic NY]

20. Damn you mean I can't wear my RED........

"Toledo Mud-hens" shirts during the rest of the week.:sarcasm:

Pretty damn pathetic that they have to have symbolism to show that they care.

[helnwhls]

22. A nice red shirt that reads no blood for oil back and front

that's what I will wear. I support the troops.

[Atman]

24. This will be as successful as Rummy's Pro-War march

They expected 3,000 to 10,000 supporters, and got what? a few hundred?

I hope they send this far and wide...and then scratch their heads when they're the only idiot in the office wearing a bright red shirt with a Bush pin on it. They'll blame it on that liberal e-mail.

[hillary]

25. I got this:

Q: How many Bush Administration officials does it take to screw in a
light bulb?

A: None. There's nothing wrong with the light bulb; its condition is
improving every day. Any reports of a lack of incandescence are
totally unfounded and the result of delusional "spin" assaults from the fanatic, elitist, liberal media. That light bulb has served honorably,and anything you say to the contrary dims its lighting effect and undermines its morale. Why do you hate freedom?

***I would just like to add: I support the light bulb, I have a magnet on my SUV that says just that.......besides....illumination is HARD WORK!

[teenagebambam]

26. Hope they don't all go to Disney World on a Friday

[derby378]

27. Better Dead than Red!

Deal with it, FReepers. We took your fathers' favorite slogan and made it our own, Paula-style. W00t!!

[RebelOne]

29. Yup, received it some time ago

from my fundie freeper neighbor.
