Question about Freepers

[Archae]

I know about the incident with the missing truck, but why is it a running gag with Freepers and Porta-Potties?

Did they have some kind of incident with those?

[proud patriot]

1. They guarded them with rifles at one of the first protests

at free republic they posted pictures of their counter
protest and a couple of the pictures showed a dude in
camo with a shotgun guarding their porta potties from
the "evil dirty liberal communists" :shrug:

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. Becuase way back when, they held a pro-war rally

(or at least an anti-anti-war rally) in DC on the same day as the big anti-war rally, and they posted many pictures, which showed how they set up 80 or so chairs, had maybe 20 people there, and they had one picture of a guy actually GUARDING their porta-pottie, with a caption about how proud they are of the guy is guarding their porta-pottie.

3. It showed many many porta potties too

like 6-8 or so for the 20 people who showed up :shrug:

[Rabrrrrrr]

5. that's right - it was a line of porta-potties! Not just one.

I especially loved the pics of the "huge gathering" that showed mostly empty chairs in front of the speaker podium/tent thing.

And they called it a success.

13. Well it was a porta potty success ..LOL

:evilgrin:

12. rofl that's just priceless

I wonder how they would identify you

[rumguy]

4. anyone have a link to those pics?

This is just to good...everytime I think freepers can't possibly be any more stupid or wierd...I hear about something like this...

6. They had someone GUARDING them?

From what?

The mental image that conjurs up, some fat guy with a beer and shotgun in camo, guarding the Porta-Potties is just too funny!

7. Careful with stereotytpes...

I once saw the freepers "protest". One of them had a bright orange mohawk! But then again, he could have been a DU infiltrator.

8. I saw some of the Freepers at their Gallery.

I look a lot like many of them.

Middle-age, white, male and 30 pounds overweight. :-)

"Lurkers in Good Standing" are invited

"I nominate RaceBannon to be in charge of guarding the porta-potties!"

Members of the D.C. Chapter are financing the Patriots Rally for America, but we could use some help. We have pared back our budget for this rally to around $4,000 compared to the $7,000 we spent on last April's Patriots Rally.

The cost for staging, sound and porta-potties will be around $3,500. We are budgeting $500 for incidental costs.



ANNOUNCING: THE PATRIOTS RALLY FOR AMERICA II, OCTOBER 26 IN WASHINGTON, D.C.
D.C. Chapter ^ | Monday, October 14, 2002 | Kristinn

The D.C. Chapter of Free Republic invites all FReepers and lurkers in good standing, as well as their friends and families, to join us in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, October 26, 2002 for the Patriots Rally for America II.

As the United States prepares to take the next step in the war on terrorism, we will be gathering to show support for our troops, America and to serve as a patriotic counter-point to the anti-American leftists who will be holding an "anti-war" rally and march the same day in D.C.

The "anti-war" rally, organized by International ANSWER, will be held right next to the Vietnam War Memorial on the Mall at Constitution Gardens, a safe four blocks away from our rally site at the Washington Monument.

The Patriots Rally for America will feature speakers and recorded music. Supporters are encouraged to bring large American and Gadsden flags. Also, please bring signs bearing messages supporting America, our troops and the war on terrorism.

The anti-American left will be fearmongering that day; raising their tired old cliches of quagmires, body bags and blood for oil. Their real message is that America is an evil nation and should not defend itself against any threats.

They dream of re-living the glory days of the Sixties, when spitting on soldiers and burning the flag were 'cool.'

While we respect their First Amendment rights to speak out (indeed, several of our members fought to protect those rights), we vehemently disagree with their message and will not allow them to take to the streets unanswered.

Members of the D.C. Chapter are financing the Patriots Rally for America, but we could use some help. We have pared back our budget for this rally to around $4,000 compared to the $7,000 we spent on last April's Patriots Rally.

The cost for staging, sound and porta-potties will be around $3,500. We are budgeting $500 for incidental costs.
