Freepers hold protest over DSM hearing
Six members of the D.C. chapter of Freerepublic.com held a small counter-protest in support of Bush's policies. They brought an Iraqi expatriate, Nofel al Jazairi, who stood solemnly and held a sign reading "Saddam Lied, Millions Died."

Organizer Kristin Taylor said the Downing Street memo is "much ado about nothing."

"I think President Bush stands on the side of freedom and democracy, and I think he did the right thing for the Iraqi people and the American people and the world by taking the fight to the terrorists in Iraq," Taylor said.

32. For the Freeps, 6 is a pretty good turnout.
I believe 12 was their record at their largest pro-war rally before the Iraq invasion.

8. 6 idiots vs. 550,000 citizens who want answers.
That is not a counter-protest- that is a circle jerk.

How delusional can a person be.

There was not a single terrorist in Iraq until we occupied their country.

40. If there were any terrorists in Iraq,
they would be similar to the terrorists living and TRAINING in the U.S. for years before 9/11.

Why don't we invade ourselves, using that logic?

war, ya moron.

Saddam was working to keep the extremists OUT of Iraq because Bin Laden wanted to overthrow him or assassinate him.

Bush gave Bin Laden EXACTLY what he wanted....An Iraq rulled by extreme fundamentalists who eventually would be loyal to their fundamental beliefs than they would any secular form of government.

That keeps us in perpetual war, moron. Just as Bush and his defense contracting robber baron cronies planned.

29. When they post the pictures, look for ...
the same six people photoshopped to make 'em look like 600. Either that or they'll use the pictures of the Conyers rally, and then photoshop over all the signs with something intelligent like

"Saddam bad. U.S.A. Good. Any questions?"

Morans.

21. How much coverage do they get compared to the DSM march?
Watch carefully. These guys may be small in numbers, but the media tends to amplify them exponentially.

Work day demonstrations are alot tougher for those on the right. But we can't let them take to the streets unopposed. They sense an opening and are going to exploit it no matter who in this country (or how many of our troops) gets hurt.

see * fight... Ahhhh! Of course, * never fought.

Always sends someone else fight his fights... :grr:

These pathos should run to the nearest enlistment bureau.

Recruiters are getting tired of just having to wait for 'em to show up... :boring:

But something tells me these chickenshits would just refuse to follow up on their 'unconscious' convictions...

Oh, and they sure would go on their 'automated thinking' and ask:

"Why do you hate our savior pRez? Why do you hate umerika?"

bs right away. :grr:

34. Damn I was off by 2
I posted on another thread that they would end up with 4 people at the protest. I guess I underestimated the enormous grassroot legions of freepers.

6 people! I could have a dozen people to protest my neigbor (not sure what for, though he is a little annoying) in half an hour and I live in the country. The repugs could muster 6 people at a protest in DC? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

36. Actually, millions didn't die under Saddam.
Not even close. Far be it for be to insinuate in ANY way he was a nice guy, he wasn't. But that millions this is wildly incorrect.

In fact, I think we are racing to catch up with him in the total number of Iraqi dead with this illegal war.

Edited on Thu Jun-16-05 11:40 PM by estherc
No, Saddams is estimated to have killed between 250-500 thousand. At the very maximum 1 million people. That is not millions.

I'm not sure if that includes the Iranians killed as our ally in the Iran Iraq war or not.
