10 freepers at their protest today - 10!!

[proud2BlibKansan]

Approximately 10 people from the Washington, D.C., chapter of FreeRepublic.com, a self-styled grass roots conservative group, stood across the road with signs supporting U.S. troops. A large sign held by several people said, "God bless our troops, defenders of freedom, American heroes."

1. Were there more port-a-potties than protesters?

They need a lot of port-a potties due to the fact that they are all so FULL OF SHIT!

[Gman]

5. And did they have sentries protecting the port-a-potties?

[Hubert Flottz]

6. The porta-potties are to draw the swarms of greenflies away from

Rim-Job. But it don't fool the flies for very long they know the Mother Of All Turds when they see one! Freepers are like flies and that is what attracts them to Rim... That is why you can't trust a Republick'em in a shithouse with a muzzle on! They thrive on pure old shit, like all veggies do! They eat up every speck of BUSHIT they come in contact with and they are always lookin' for more.

2. figures - effing "librul" media

we could have a thousand people in the streets and the media would be worried about a missing white girl. I know Phelps probably had something to do with ABC's coverage - but 10?!?!? and that makes news?

[AnnieBW]

3. They Were Trying To Counteract Phelps

and his obnoxious spawn. As much as I hate to say something nice about the Freepers, I do have to give them props for that.

[DeaconBlues]

4. It was a counterprotest against Phelp's crazy funeral protests

and its ten more people than DU has ever managed to gather up to face these lunatics.

[jeff30997]

8. Yep.So true.

[stepnw1f]

10. ah... another one

why come to DU? Maybe you should hang with those ten freepers... lol.

[DeaconBlues]

12. Another what? A person who can see past surface hatreds and

knee-jerk reactions to see when a certain demonstration is a good idea? It might help you to see the world in more than black and white.

[stepnw1f]

36. yes, yes, blah, blah blah

see past hatreds... oh...ok.

[stepnw1f]

9. Uh Huh

Usually Du'ers are protesting with more than 10 people. Free Republic is not exactly worthy of a protest.

[DeaconBlues]

11. In this case the Freeper protest is right on the money

Tell me when has DU organized a demonstration against the Phelps gang? Its a sad day when all we can do is snicker at other people's activism, especially when its for a good cause.

[proud2BlibKansan]

21. read my response #16

We here in his backyard have been protesting against him both in the street and in the statehouse for YEARS now. And quite a few of us are DUers.

[trumad]

34. Are you fucking serious...

You're defending the fucktard freepers.... Fuck every god damn freeper known to mankind.

[stepnw1f]

35. Why Would We Protest Phelps?

giving the loon more attention is not really a positive thing. But hey... knee-jerk away pal all you want. You happen to be a DU member, so send yourself to wherever the nut job is. And if you are so disappointed that DU members don't involve themselves with Mr. Nutjob, then maybe you should hang at Freepland, where you can pretend to be a patriot.

[proud2BlibKansan]

16. Not true - there are DUers here who protest against him all the time

He's our neighbor :crazy:

[DeaconBlues]

23. I didn't know that

Keep up the good work!

[proud2BlibKansan]

30. I will admit I am not one of them

Phelps is so nasty. If you counter protest, he jots down license tag numbers and then finds out who you are. He then floods you with phone calls, emails and faxes. He literally sends VOLUMES of faxes out every single day to his enemies. He has also been known to file false reports with the IRS and child abuse hotline. He plays very very dirty. I am hesitant to even post this on the internet.

You guys have no idea how truly evil this man is.

[NYC Liberal]

27. And where were these loonies when Phelps was protesting

the funerals of gays? Sure as hell not protesting!

[SoCalDem]

7. and YET....ABC found it noteworthy..

:grr:

[Redstone]

13. And THIS was worth reporting?

That's just pathetic. Maybe they reported it because they were so surprised that there are still ten people THAT stupid in the country?

Redstone

[proud2BlibKansan]

17. That's kind of how I took it

They did mention the number. They could have left that factoid out.

[Redstone]

20. Yeah, that was a shot right to the chops, wasn't it?

Redstone

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

14. That's Cause The Sign-Up Sheet Only Goes Up That High. Only Two Hands To

count on, ya know?

[proud2BlibKansan]

18. LOL!

[conflictgirl]

15. Thank you!

That's the best laugh I've had in days!

[proud2BlibKansan]

19. It is purty funny

[grasswire]

22. they will never live down the potty wars

For those who might not know the story, the Freepers in Washington had quite a tizzy a few years ago when they had another one of their "massive" protests of a dozen or so members and had to guard their rented porta potties to keep dirty folks from using them. The whole fuss was quite amusing.

[jpevahouse]

24. Who really cares?

I went to all the big east coast demonstrations leading up to and during the early part of the Iraq invasion. I saw very few demonstrating in support of the war, maybe 25 supporting, 500,000 against. The invasion happened anyway. The message is it wasn't about what average Americans wanted. It was about what a select few of our political leaders wanted. That's why the protest had no real affect. A few wealthy, powerful people can do as they please and they don't have to be concerned about what we want. Like it or not Bush got away with just about everything. We can spend the next two years complaining but little is going to change. We're stuck with Iraq, the deficit and dysfunctional government. I'd like to think people have some input into government but I wonder?

[proud2BlibKansan]

32. Well I would much rather stand on the corner with a sign

than sit at home and get upset about the shit going on in this country. My husband asked me the other day if I thought our protests accomplished anything. I said yes, 2 things: 1)it causes the passing motorist who sees us to think for even a second about the war and the evil bush administration and 2)it makes me feel like I am doing SOMETHING other than just getting pissed off.

[newyawker99]

33. Hi jpevahouse!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[ComerPerro]

25. Those Freepers would be standing proudly next to Phelps if gays were dying

[Bluebear]

26. Word. nt

[kerry-is-my-prez]

28. 10 protesters and it merits a mention??? Meanwhile - when thousands

protest the war, etc. no mention by the MSM.

[jazzjunkysue]

31. Many hundreds of thousands. They'll cover immigrant protests, too.

But not peace protests.

That's yur librul media fur ya.

[NJ Democrats]

29. Ten!?

And it gets covered?
