Any DUers run into freepers at the DC rally?

[IranianDemocrat]

?

[Clark Can WIN]

1. Yeah, anybody have any numbers

on their HUGE gathering.

[MountainLaurel]

2. Maybe 20?

And yes, DUers saw the freepers and had face to face encounters. I'll leave it to those folks to tell their tales. I'm too tired to think.

[Neecy]

4. heh

I think that the AP counted the freeps in the 'dozens'. I wonder if they brought the dog along again this year?

[ScreamingMeemie]

6. I love it when the Daily Show uses "tens of dozens" to describe

pro-Bush turnouts. ;)

[Blue_Tires]

13. I just paid them no mind...

All they were doing was trolling for a reaction..don't give those SOBs the satisfaction of knowing they annoy us

[newyawker99]

14. Hi Blue_Tires!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[SoCalDem]

3. their thread on it

http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1008171/posts


"The D.C. chapter of Free Republic, an independent grass-roots conservative group, gathered a few dozen people at the U.S. Capitol to show support for Bush and the troops in Iraq."

This one calls itself an "infiltration report"..(did the porta potties back up again??)

http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1008128/posts

this one claims that the "bad guys" confronted them

11. Classic ignorance...

To: Pyro7480

Apparently the media plan to give the protests MASSIVE coverage and mention you guys in the last few lines, thats their idea of balanced journalism.

Freepers were outnumbered 5,000 to one and they want equal time?

[nostamj]

5. maybe 20 of them

really quite pathetic.

that had a location on the march route. there might have been 20... they spread themselves out...

they were actually doing a WAR IS GOOD counter-rally.

WAR ended slavery
WAR saved the jews
yada yada

they were overwhemlingly outnumbered. the yellow-vested volunteers outnumbered the Fs by at least 20-1, probably much higher.

turnout? 10,000 to one (and I'm being generous)

[SoCalDem]

7. someone posted their pic of their sign

[Girlfriday]

9. Can't ANY freepers spell?

What the hell is QUADA?

[Some Moran]

10. Google...

1,660,000 instances of Al Qaeda and 7,200 instances of Al Quada.

[Grins]

25. Who sez you kin spel..

Besides, we're just "morans". (God, I love that guy! I wonder if he knows he's an icon to all of us.)

[Faygo Kid]

29. Nope - can't think, either, without Rush

Are they ever lost. The dittoheads without the ditto. Who will they turn to that will tell them how to think?

[lizerdbits]

8. The same signs from the last march

"Go home commies" and "Al Queda thanks you."

The religious wingnuts were in force as well. Across the street from our meeting place were about 10 'Jesus is the answer to everything' men (didn't see any women). One sign said "God hates you" in big letters and underneath had "Sodomites Abortionists Drunkards." (Looks like I need to get busy) Look for their new book "How to never ever get laid."

[david_vincent]

12. That would make a great bumper sticker

Your God Hates Me

[Rabrrrrrr]

15. Here's the hate-filled Christian contingent:

Ruben Israel, left, of Los Angeles, and Stephen James, right, of Somerset, Penn., heckle anti-war demonstrators as they march in Washington to protest the U.S. troops presence in Iraq (news - web sites) on Saturday, Oct. 25, 2003. The thousands strong march, labeled 'Bring the Troops Home Now, End the Occupation of Iraq,' was organized by the groups A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition (Act Now To Stop War And Racism) and United For Peace And Justice. (AP Photo/Gerald Herbert)

I especially love the left sign. Big ass weapons designed for killing, but the guy still has the audacity and ignroance to say "Trust Jesus". "I trust jesus so much that I'm a gonna use that rocket launcher!"

[Kamika]

16. ohman

id like to kick those guys in the nuts and telling them just how I feel, when they associate me with them just because I'm christian

gah fucking losers how goddamm stupid can you get

[Grins]

27. ..and who the hell does he think he is..

calling me a drunkard? I only use it as a preventative!


"Actually, it only takes one drink to get me loaded. Trouble is, I can't remember if it's the thirteenth or fourteenth." George Burns

[Kamika]

17. seriously?

it said GOD hates you??

I'm so angry now, God / Jesus doesn't hate anyone.

[nostamj]

18. one of the speakers

Viggo Mortenson (?) said:

God doesn't hate, you do

edited because AWD (below) is absolutely right. had a feeling I got that wrong. (more coffee, less posting)

[AWD]

20. Not quite, nostamj

He said "God doesn't hate....you do"

[Padraig18]

23. I reccomend sodomy...

... if you're going to branch out into uncharted waters. :P

[johnfunk]

19. Did anyone see any of THESE FReepers at this link...

... which contains an Audobon-style guide to FReepers seen to herd in the greater District of Columbia area, identified by name and/or handle. Click here and scroll down for a look-see at some choice specimens, all prime candidates for "2004 Poster Child for Birth Control"!

Looks like JimRob's intimidation tactics have backfired again...

I love the sign SoCalDem posted -- wonder where the moran lurned to spel Al Quada?...

[tridim]

24. that's them, the 'men' who came over and started hitting women

with their signs and yelling obscenities in front of children...these are brutal THUGS, bullies, hateful vile 'little men'..they were waiting for us with their bullhorn spewing hate...and there was a small altercation as they hit older women and screamed obscenities at children...this was near the end of the March, and other brave BIG MEN Marchers had to step in, and the police hauled these 'little men' away from the Marchers...I wish they had put them in their police cars..these 'little men' are dangerous threats and do not belong in civilized society....

[diamond14]

22. they were screaming obscenities at old women and Veterans...

they cursed in front of children...I saw them in two places on the March...four reTHUGlicans as we turned at the corner of Pennsylvania Avenue and 15th street...they were standing on a little hill under trees and totally surrounded below on the street by barricades lined with police...two of the freepers were an older couple sitting under a tree with a small sign that said "what would Jesus do?", they looked terrified at the huge crowds walking below, and the TWO loony freepers near them cursing children and holding hate signs....so I walked up to the barricade with my sign "bush lied, thousands died" and I yelled real loud to them..."what would Jesus do? Jesus would confront bush, why don't you ??"

the second group of freepers were near the end of the March, at around Constitution just past 15th St was slightly bigger, 7 or 8 freepers maybe....these freepers were violent, they had a bullhorn and were screaming hate, obscenitities and violence...they were loose freepers, with no barricades separating these THUGS from us ...at one point, they began hitting some Marchers (women) near me with their signs and screaming hate...there was brief altercation as other Marches stood up to them, and the police stepped up quickly and hauled them away...

freepers are vile hateful people...they are represented by Pat "nuke the U.S. State Department" Robertson...and Jerry "kill all the Muslims" Falwell....

[_NorCal_D_]

26. Thanks for the story.

What monsters.
:mad:

[diamond14]

28. I walked with the 'slow' people, the Veterans in wheelchairs, the

seniors, the old women, the baby carriages were all coming up the rear of the March where these THUGS were waiting....such 'little men', afraid of the BIG GUYS in the March, the younger Veterans, the active Military....these freepers waited to hit the 'slow' people at the end of the March.....
