ROFL, There's No Joy In Freeperville.....
Edited on Mon May-02-11 01:12 PM by K8-EEE

"My liberal friends are having a field day about Osama's death. I'm glad he was captured, but the response is driving my crazy. I sincerely despise our president and to see him get credit for something I'm sure he had very little to do with, or for something that fell into his lap, is extremely disconerting."

I've already defriended one friend on facebook for the quote: "I least I got him bitches! Four more years!"


:rofl:

Another CLASSIC: Donald Trump FORCED Obama to get OBL! :crazy:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2713697/posts

"Just like Trump forced Obama to release his forged BC. He thought that would get him, Trump, off the front pages. It didn't. So Obama had to raise the stakes."

If you know anybody who doubts that "conservative" is synonymous with CRAZY, tell them to check out FR today, they are in TIN FOIL MELTDOWN! IT'S HILARIOUS!

50. PLEASE, always see a professional for that.
There are too many heartbreaking stories about a simple reconertion gone wrong, a lot of practitioners who think they can take a quickie Reconert Course online and just hang a shingle up on their door. There is no presiding legal authority!

73. In retrospect, It's probably best to get your nert checked at least once a year
Edited on Tue May-03-11 09:34 AM by demwing
a reconert after a disconert is easy, but there are still risks. Preconerting is always the best bet :)

Remember - If you don't care for your nert, who will?

15. Probably THE most fucked up comment over there:
"The celebration in the streets is disgraceful. It looks just like the Palestinians after 9/11, or after every time that they kill Israelis. It is always good to complete a mission, but you don’t ever celebrate a killing. It’s like celebrating an execution, because that is exactly what this was, an execution.


Wow. Fucking WOW!!!

57. So now they are sympathetic to bin Laden?
Here's the "logic":

We hate Obama and everything he says and does.
Obama killed bin Laden whereas bush failed and lost interest.
Therefore we now LIKE bin Laden (since Obama doesn't) and refuse to celebrate his demise.

These people are so pathetic!

21. You should check out their thread discussing the fact that
OBL was given religious rites prior to burial.

A bunch of them chime in with all of these pork references, like; "he should have been bathed in bacon grease", or "I hope they shoved a ham sandwich in his mouth before they tossed him", or "I hope they wrapped him in pigskin".

Of course, there was the obligatory; "We should have cut his head off and put it on a spear on display at ground zero"

BUT,

My favorite of all was the guy who said; "I hope they hung a bunch of 'Hebrew National' franks around his neck".

Guess he doesn't know that Hebrew National hot dogs are ALL BEEF!

24. LOL! Yes halal & kosher dietery laws seem pretty similar
I live in a middle eastern neighborhood and frequent both kinds of stores....neither of them eat pork for instance, but with the halal markets, there are a lot of things like vanilla extract they don't use in the products b/c they avoid alcohol totally even at that level.

I always find it amusing that the Freepers have this mythology that Islamic people FREAK OUT AND KILL THEMSELVES if they are even around so much as a piece of bacon. So absurd. I worked with a guy from Egypt who was a practicing Muslim and we used to send out for food a lot, he got my soup instead of the one he ordered and got half way through it before realizing there was bacon in it. He was like, oh well, now I know! The freeps prob would have expected him to jump off a highrise window or something, LOL, they are so stupid.

Taken out in handcuffs? Does this asshole know Bush is no longer President?

66. I heard that one in person yesterday.
It was from one of my high school students, so I just said, "Riiiiggghhht. And are the lizard people who secretly control the world also Muslims? Is Hitler's brain inside a cyborg?"

I probably crossed some kind of moral line there, but the kid's 18 (and actually a very nice kid).

Obama could go in and get him any time he wanted, while their hero GW couldn't get him in 8 years. Doesn't speak too well for their hero, does it?

60. Have to admit, I IMMENSELY enjoyed reading the rightwing meltdowns Sunday night
on various messageboards online, they were COMPLETELY unprepared and stunned at the news, and were unable to gather their wits and respond with any coherent insults about President Obama, when OPs began popping up like popcorn after it went viral online that OBL was killed. Of course some tried to claim that he deserved no credit whatsoever, but after his speech and more information became available, that he indeed made the final decision to use a small group of specially selected SEALs to take out OBL, some even (albeit very, very grudgingly) began to thank and congratulate him in their posts. I believe what many/most rightwingers really are/were upset about, is because they absolutely hated the fact that President Obama's approval ratings had likely shot into the stratosphere as a result. Some even posted as much, saying that there are too many "dumb" voters in this country, who vote based upon their emotions instead of using "reason" and "common sense" by voting for a Rethug, would vote to re-elect him in '12, forgetting all about the "bad" things he had done, such as Obamacare, ect..just based on his involvement as CIC in killing OBL, and because he was able to do what Bush couldn't as POTUS...haha!!

72. Oh dear...
Not nearly as much as Bush politicized the alleged "Mission Accomplished" aboard that aircraft carrier complete with flight suit stuffed with a dead crotch gopher.

76. Too bad about all the conflicting reports though. Or maybe it's
a good thing. It feeds the wackjobs.

One thing for sure. No one knows the complete story, or will until the Navy finishes all the debriefings and puts out a report. It could take some time coming up with the best, most complete, blow by blow account of events.

You could probably get a different story on what happened from everyone in the situation room, even Obama. People not trained to even recognize what they were hearing or seeing made statements. The reason for all the confused reporting.

They probably should have announced the mission and told everyone to keep their mouths shut. If all we knew was Bin Ladin was killed and buried at sea and everyone was waiting for the official story, I think it would be better.
