"Patriot Rally" Pics......Hilarious

[The_Gopher]

my favorite is the "al quada" dude and his shirt with "hollywood" and a circle and slash over it...i guess he doesn't like ahhhnold?

and the captions are equally funny...i haven't heard "commie" used as a derogatory slur so many times since 1985.

1. How about the "hate groups" one?

A picture of a terrorist using the american flag as a mask?

Maybe the guy holding that sign ain't no freeper.

[The_Gopher]

6. the "child abuse" if pretty ridiculous as well

[Bertha Venation]

24. the freepers should talk to

the Phelps clan about child abuse

[qb]

2. A gaggle of Freepers - LOL

[JaneQPublic]

30. Or to be terribly ironic, a "school" of freepers (n/t)

[WoodrowFan]

3. Why Was Someone from CORE there at the freeper stage? (NT)

[yellowcanine]

4. looks as if they had a great turnout-not

The Wash Post said there were about 50 Freeps there - from those pics looks more like 30 at best. Maybe the Post reporter counted the people standing around gaping at them. Were they guarding the portapotties again this time?
I also think it is funny that there seemed to be more signs there than people to carry them. The dude with the slash hollywood t shirt was in several pictures carrying different signs. You really showed those commies this time freepers! Way to go!

5. ...

I dunno how I feel about people burning the flag at the protests. I guess it doesnt reflect all of them, but I think its a piss poor way to try and get your statement across. Makes you seem un-american and gives the right more fire to use against all of us. So Id ask people to refrain from doing that when protesting the president or the war. We can not afford to let anyone think we dont love this country and that our attentions are correcting the mistakes that have been made, not destroy the country. haha. Oh well! Glad to see they had MORE pictures of the anti-war people than they did of themselves! thats a laugh riot! How many people did they have attend their rally again? 20 people? lol! Musta been boring if one of their photographers decided to go take pictures of the opposing group!

16. As far as flag burning goes...

I agree that if there is any way to ensure that the vast majority of Americans will instanteously turn away from whatever you have to say, that is the way to do it!

Flag burning is stupid, IMHO, but I will not stop anyone from doing it, if thet feel the urge. As I posted below, the ones at the Freeper rally are lucky they didn't burn the flags those people were wearing!

41. Hi pezcore64!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[CBHagman]

7. That sicko with the "gassing the Kurds" sign...

... is the reason most of us have locks on our windows and doors. Good grief, do they even know what they've printed on their signs?

[LoneStarLiberal]

11. Probably Not

That would require literacy, which I fear is in short supply with these people.

[Quahog]

8. Charming group

So the FReep dinner the night before took up, what, TWO WHOLE TABLES at the sports bar?

And what a fine looking group of young people in that second shot. Just think, that young lady probably got to spend the night with one of those hunks.

I notice that in the shots of the "rally" itself, they only show the speakers, and not the throngs of supporters (interesting that no one was crowding the stage... so well behaved!).

Other interesting details:

How hard did they have to search to find an African American man with the first name "Niger" to speak? Why is Bob Dornan looking at his watch while he's speaking? Is he waiting for the other SUV full of "warriors" to arrive?

And is it just me, or is there NO SUCH THING as a FReeper BABE? Protest crowd seemed to be chock-full of cuties (I know, I am SO superficial and adolescent....).

[ClintonTyree]

9. Curtis Sliwa...............

just who in the hell is he talking to anyyway? There's more people on the podium than in the audience. These people are sad.

[maggrwaggr]

10. my favorite is the table of fat, bug-eyed greaseballs with menus in hand

waiting to order their plates of grease, or whatever these people eat.

Man, what an unhealthy-looking bunch. It's hard to tell which is going to fatally clog first, their arteries or their colons.

[The_Gopher]

14. one has a hat with IRS and a circle with a slash over it.....so i guess

that means that he'd agree with the protesters who had signs denouncing the american government as being illegitimate?

or am i just making assumptions about others' ability to see through the logic of their statements.

[rasputin1952]

12. I notice that the photography leaves a lot to be desired...

other than that, not much to see.

Funny how they didn't post so many of their 'Rally', perhaps it's because no one showed up.

One other thing, I'm not necessarily anti-obesity; but it seemed to me, that if they made such a stink about the burning of the flag, they should feel lucky that those who had a slightly higher fat content and WORE the flag, were't the victims of matches themselves. Fat burns quite hot. (In any case, except for a flag patch, I think that people who wear 'flag shirts' and such, should be arrested, or in the least, be given a copy of the 'proper way to display the flag').

:kick:

[SoCalDem]

13. Wow...what a turnout

[newyawker99]

42. LOL!! It looks like there are more signs than people.

LMAO!! What a bunch of losers!!

[John_Shadows_1]

15. I take it those "Free Republic Dinners" aren't low-carb...

.... if you know what I mean.

[maggrwaggr]

23. If I was that fruggin' ugly I'd hate the world too

They put the "ug" in "ugly"

Makes me think of that old phrase "beauty is only skin deep but ugly is to the bone"

These people's ugliness radiates outwards from their inner, rotten core.

[The_Gopher]

17. it's way too easy trolling there and leaving comments

like taking candy from a baby

[Octafish]

18. Send books, not bombs.

Hey, Moran! The ACLU exists to protect the Constitution, for starters...!

[Bozita]

19. Books? ... What could they possibly do with books?

[The_Gopher]

20. burn them to show how...um....that they're more patriotic-er than you are

.

[donotpassgo]

21. I love this one...

From: LauraAlvy44 (Oct 26, 2003 18:45 EST)
Do they believe in their cause so much they have to HIDE their FACES???


So One person means THEY now? Look at the rest of the crowd douchebag.

[Paragon]

35. Guess he wasn't hanging with this guy:

[The_Gopher]

22. whoever moderates that gallery is deleting comments.....

at least the ones i posted asking who "al quada" is, saying "they sound dangerous."
so i posted another comment asking why they are deleting comments, and isn't that a commie technique?

[DoraFan]

26. Commie technique

so i posted another comment asking why they are deleting comments, and isn't that a commie technique?

DU does it all the time. Is DU a group of commies?

[The_Gopher]

28. it's called *sarcasm*

you see, sometimes you say something and don't mean for what you say to be taken literally.
for example. i lose $20. i say, "that's just great."
is it great that i lost $20? of course not.

so do i really think that the person who is deleting comments is a commie? no, of course not. do i think deleting comments is a commie technique? well, no.

but do i think that their ad hominem attacks on those who disagree with them as being "commies" is in direct contrast to their supposed love of freedom? shit yeah.

[trumad]

37. Actually..DU doesn't delete comments...

DU deletes inappropriate posts ... So ya gonna compare DU's er..censorship to Free Republics? I tell you what... Go on over to FR and say..uhhh...Dubya sucks... And then come back here and pick any Dem and say they suck.... Let's see which one gets whacked first....

[knight_of_the_star]

25. WOW!

I'm SOOOOO impressed! They actually managed to form a line! I didn't think they were capable of that!

[WoodrowFan]

27. they were TOLD to form a circle.

;)

[skypilot]

29. socialism?!?!

The caption that accompanied this picture said, "More calls for socialism".

What the hell is up with these people? They call EVERYTHING "socialism".

More money for jobs and education, how horrible.

[The_Gopher]

31. someone should tell 'em their mortgage deduction is, ohmigod, welfare!!!

if we define "welfare" as a good or service provided by the government to assist citizens with housing/education/finances

and those school buses they send their kids to school on? welfare!

and the child tax credits they want? welfare!

and the low interest student loans they might have to take out? welfare!


great book called "the hidden welfare state." shows how tax credits to the middle and upper class far outweight the costs of what people usually consider welfare given to the poor.

[skypilot]

32. That's not welfare.

That's "stimulating the economy". Or something.

[Paragon]

33. Bob Dornan checks his watch

[EV1Ltimm]

34. those "protestwarriors"

tried to take down my site a while ago.

schmucks.

[heidiho]

36. Look At The Hunks at the FR Dinner

Wish I were there!!! Who says all Republicans are ugly and gross?
Now I know why they spew such hate - they are diisgusted with themselves when they look in the mirror!

[imax2268]

38. A handfull of them...

ten of thousands for us...I like those odds...!

[Zero Gravitas]

39. Looks like they had a great time

all 15 of them...

:eyes:

[ElsewheresDaughter]

40. there are more pics of our rally then their own...because none showed

up for theirs

[LTR]

43. The "Al Quada" guy is actually the admin of the site!

What a moran!

[The_Gopher]

46. he turned off the "leave comment" part of the gallery after

he got tired of deleting some posts we were putting on there.
i kept asking who "al quada" was.

and you KNOW that with a name like "alvy" that he had a rough time in elementary school. thus the displaced and confused anger.

[PapaClay]

44. I heard that the youngbloods were harassing

some anti-war marchers. Figures. Wish I had been there. I never get to have no fun, dammit. :evilgrin:

[The_Gopher]

45. white fratboys in flannel shirts with chin-pubes....perfect age to enlist!

[qanda]

47. I think the pics have been pulled.

Your link is not working. I guess they're on to us checking them out.

[The_Gopher]

48. the site is back up...."al quada" and all
