Freepers Claim War Is Going Well
What chance does this propaganda have?

"Gloom and doom armchair generals in Congress." "Iraq study group. . . little more than a prescription for capitulation to our enemies." blah, blah, blah

1. Yup. A typical lemming charge into the sea to defeat the ocean

There just has to be trouble in FReeperville with their support the chimp no matter what policy running smack into the face of an American Public not wanting that snake oil any longer.

Frankly I am amazed they are still banning people for even minor disagreements with the policies of conducting imperialistic war.

I see them as painted into a corner with things set to only get worse for them.

FReeperville has gone from being the largest Internet forum to a dismal shadow of itself with membership and traffic decaying slowly but surely.

You could probably get more Log Cabin Republicans to go to a Mary Cheney for President rally the you could get FReepers to a D.C. function.

And that is no exaggeration.

2. Look at this thread.
Wounded Iraq Vet Threatened, Spat on by 'Antiwar' Protesters (D.C. Chapter Report on 1/27/07)
Sunday, January 28, 2007 | Kristinn

I'm angry. I'm angry at the 'antiwar' protesters who heaped abuse on our troops. And I'm angry at the people who couldn't be bothered to stand up for our troops yesterday.

Tens of thousands of anti-American leftists and their dupes marched on our nation's capital calling for America's defeat in the war on terror in Iraq.

Only about forty people could be bothered to turn out in support of America's victory in Iraq. Among those forty was a civilian POW held by the North Vietnamese communists and several Iraq war veterans--including wounded warriors who left the hospital to stand up for their brothers in arms on the home front.

Why did former POW Mike Benge and Iraq vet Joshua Sparling only find a few dozen people willing to stand with them? Why, as the anti-American left is heading toward repeating their victory in Vietnam, are so many people sitting on their asses and doing nothing to stop them?

Why, when Joshua Sparling was spat on, cursed at and threatened by 'peace marchers', were there so few people there to defend his honor?

Why was Jane Fonda allowed to desecrate the Navy Memorial and only face token opposition?

Why did Mike Benge see thousands more people showing up to cheer Jane Fonda than there were to denounce her?

Those who were there to support these patriots will be posting their observations and photos on this thread. I've said my piece.

As the story now stands, I don't believe it. There are just too many holes with his claims.

3. Of course
We shouldn't be surprised those people are never going to admit their wrong. Frankly I think it's good so the moderates know just how dangerous conservatives are.

5. You mean like Chip Dillard at the end of "Animal House", yelling
"All is well! All is well!" in face of a mob charging at him?

7. What do they know?
They're all sitting home in their pajamas
eating pork rinds and peanut butter
with their bellies hanging out
while zotting each other to smithereens
in RimJobs dorky little den of dumb.

11. And we're supposed to believe this
when source after source has shown that not only is the war not going well, but the reasons for going in were bullshit?

13. There are crazy people everywhere.
These guys usually take the cake but many here cry "Dictatorship!" with every breath Scrub takes.

Here's my recipe: One cup crazy left wing crap, one cup crazy right wing crap, one gallon of research. Mix, bake for several days (cooking time may vary). Finished product should closely resemble the truth.

14. They are probably talking about the
War on Drugs. Or the War on Poverty. The War on transfats. Probably the War on Illiteracy

15. How I hate it, when people link to that website...
Why drive web traffic over there?

Yeah, wow, somebody said something dumb at Free Repugnant... big deal. That happens many, many times a day... every single day.

Must we have a thread at DU, about every dumb thing that gets said in Freeperville? Must we provide an actual LINK to their website?

What about OUR ideas and OUR interests... why can't we just focus on that?
