a photo all republicans should be VERY proud of

[maggrwaggr]

[JohnKleeb]

1. I saw those losers up close and personal

I think I yelled sorry I was already baptized and another yelled blessed are thy peacemakers.

[thebigidea]

2. "Drunkards"?

What about the president?

[Toucano]

14. But only one "abortionist"

EOM

[VeniceBeat]

3. As I'm Sure They Are

What IS it with the Fred Phelpsians?

:crazy:

[screwfacecapone]

4. YEEEEE HAWWWW!!

Where can I get the new neo-conservative version of the bible? Only one I keep finding is the one that says god forgives all sins, judge not least ye may be judged, and he who is without sin cast the first stone. It says nothing about Killing the homo-f@#$, stupid tree-hugging commie pinko libbies, or good christains voting republican.

[efhmc]

13. Funny the Christ I was taught about preached inclusion and love.

The sins He mentioned were about not caring for your fellow humans. Welcome here.Thanks for your thoughts.

[Jackie97]

32. Okay, let's be a little bit realistic about the bible.

The bible says that we should love everybody, even if they are homosexuals and other sinners that are going to a place of eternal fire.

I don't support that view, but I don't think that we should deny what the bible is actually saying unless there's a mistranslation or some other terrible misunderstanding about it.

[screwfacecapone]

40. thanks

thanks

[tokenlib]

5. Very memorable..

They had me laughing my ass off. An object lesson of hypocrisy and idiocy that I will use many times in the future.

[_NorCal_D_]

6. Oh boy!

Now conservative kooks equate the message of Jesus with weapons of mass destruction!
:eyes:

[JanMichael]

7. I KNOW THE GUY ON THE LEFT!!!!!

I went to the "Godless March" back in November 2002 and had a wonderful time arguing with him and his idiot compatriots:evilgrin:

I have a photo of it somewhere, I'll try to post it later.

[Mari333]

12. Ya I was there and I remember him at the godless march too

.

[JanMichael]

15. You were there too?!

He was a real treat. Actually we were pretty civil with each other, it was his skinny friend that I wanted to waffle stomp. Crazy Fundy Fascists...

[Mari333]

36. Yep

I remember the jesus squads surrounding us...hahaha what a laugh

[pandatimothy]

8. How many of those losers were there?

Just curious.

Thanks

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

10. I heard about 20

compared to 100,000? hmmmmm

[JohnKleeb]

29. Maggie we all joked that there were more cops on horse protecting them

than they were them. Yah Nos is right about less than 10.

[nostamj]

11. less than 10

as with the freepers, they had more police surrounding them then they had participants.

viggo mortenson: God doesn't hate, you do.

[arcane1]

18. yesterday in SF I saw but one lone "pro-killing-troops" freeper

wearing a flag t-shirt, carring a sign that said "Iraq is free- get over it"

he moved VERY fast amongst the crowd, so fast none of us could catch him for a picture. Probably afraid of the pro-peace leftist violence...

the dumb-ass :)

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

9. Oh my gosh, that guy spelled Jesus right!

You'd think after all the misinterpretations of the Bible the freeps have, they'd wind up spelling the name wrong.

[DinahMoeHum]

16. My reply would be. . . "and Jesus Thinks You're A Jerk"

just like the song!!

:evilgrin:

[Cat Atomic]

17. If we ever go truly fascist in the US,

these guys will be the cause. The huge fundamentalist population in the US will be the root of it.

Right now, Republicans appease them with symbolic shit like anti-flag burning laws and prayer in schools, but they're as afraid of these kooks as anyone else.

The problem is that they may find that they've got a tiger by the tail. Fundies are already exerting more and more influence on the Republican party as a whole. It really is similar to the pre-Hitler days in Germany... the way the establishment courted the future Nazis by accomodating their demands more and more in their platform, until they'd lost control.

These guys would love to set up camps with gas chambers- never doubt it.

[Kanola]

19. Are these freepers part of the Fred Phelp's freak show?

[lysergik]

21. Not sure, al lI know is.

.. that Phelps was supposed to have his lemmings in Poulsbo, WA last night to protest the play "The Laramie Project" at a theatre in town. Tons of people showed up to protest the idiots, but alas, they apparently didn't show up. So it wouldn't surprise me if they were at the SF and DC gatherings.

[Bertha Venation]

20. whatever your religious beliefs or lack thereof...

I called Kathy in to look at the photo of the two counterdemonstrators. She was instantly reminded of a statue at a church near the Murrah Building in OKC. We saw this statue when we saw the OKC Memorial during a cross-country trip in '00.

Despite your belief or non-belief in Jesus' existence or deity, or what you think of the various messages of the Christian church, I find this statue apt commentary on the beliefs of the individuals in your photograph.

"What would Jesus do," indeed.

[Zhade]

22. Very true. Excellent photo.

NT!

[stevedeshazer]

23. Who is Kathy?

[Bertha Venation]

37. Sometimes I forget I'm a newbie...

and you all don't know me yet . . . sorry. Kathy's my partner. She's joined DU and lurks, but don't think she's posted anything yet. She's kpharmer.

[karlschneider]

31. Indeed. Even this old atheist got a twinge from that picture.

:eyes:

[screembloodymurder]

24. They were pretty entertaining

Their God is full of hate. They offer weapons to Christ. And Bush is their leader. Where do they worship? Church of the Twisted Asscrack.

[KayLaw]

25. I'm suing Maggrwaggr

She/he made me fall off my chair laughing. There should be a law against posting such images - especially the drunkards part!!

[maggrwaggr]

27. wow. I've never been threatened with that before

except from my 7 year old.

[KayLaw]

28. Consider this a first...

Or, I guess, a second. Also, maggrwaggr, your name isn't particularly easy for us drunkards to spell - sheesh!

[HEyHEY]

26. "god hates you"

That sign says a lot more than that.

[Jackie97]

30. In fairness.....

That appalling behavior is not representative of most Republicans. I'm sure that the majority of Republicans are shuddering to see people like that representing their views.

This doesn't mean that I support the Republicans. I just don't think that we should allow these idiots to be representative of them.

[livinontheedge]

34. Both parties have their share of idiots.

Unfortunately, we have more than a few morons on our side . . . making us look bad too.

[snippy]

35. I disagree. We need to define the republican party as the party of these

people. And as the party of racists and bigots, like Haley Barbour. Then decent Americans who vote republican can make an informed choice as to whether they want to support these bigoted hate mongers.

These people would have no political influence if the republican party did not obey their demands. If the republican party rejected this foul filth, or if decent Americans rejected the republican party for not doing so, this country and the entire world would be much better off.

As long as decent democrats and republicans pretend that the Reich wing fundamentalists and the racist bigots are an insignificant part of the republican party the influence of those hate mongers will continue to grow.

[AWD]

33. It should be noted...

....the guy on the right had to get his sign out of the trash to use it.

When he first showed up, he got into a screaming match with several protesters and put down his sign.

Somebody who looked an awful lot like a DUer and matching the description of me dragged his sign to the garbage where another protester and I (oops....I mean....the suspect) shoved it into the can.

I heard they spit on it, too.

[maggrwaggr]

38. Cool!

I'm all for it.

[Lefty48197]

39. "Whosoever shall come before the Lord..."

Didn't I read that somewhere?

[LTR]

41. Sodomites, abortionists, drunkards - Shouldn't these guys be ANTI-Bush?

Sodomite - Think Bush has ever gotten a blow job? Growing up in the 60s and 70s? Likely. If not, he sure needs one.

Abortionist - If you believe the rumors...

Drunkard - Three letters: DWI

I guess these guys don't read the papers much.

[Az]

42. I have run into the bald guy before and am pretty sure he is a Phelps nut

Had to deal with his antics at the Atheist march on DC a while back. I think he is one of Phelps enforcer types to make sure they don't get beat down while beating others down. Tried to use the Luke 6:30 bomb to get his bullhorn away from him. Unfotunately he sees his religious beliefs as a weapon to assail others with rather than to obey. Go figure... a hypocritical fundimentalist. Who would of thought it was possible.
