Pictures tell the story: A rant about the Freepers and all who associate with them
While wounded U.S. troops are relegated to what amounts to a vermin-infested detention camp at the formerly well-regarded Walter Reed hospital, the Freepers have been outside demonstrating for MONTHS, patting each other on the back about how they "support the troops", while supporting Bush and the neocons, the same traitors who put our kids in harm's way for the benefit of oil company executives?

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1787634/posts













Am I wrong to feel such revulsion? Are they right to stand and disrupt the peace that these injured vets deserve? Am I wrong to despise these morons? Am I wrong to call for a congressional investigation of Walter Reed Army Hospital?

Am I wrong to call for a war tribunal for their heroes?

Am I wrong to HATE THESE PEOPLE??

2. "Our Republic Is Worth Defending"
(but not so much that I or my family or the rest of us in the College Young Republicans group are willing to do so, but we all certainly think it's worth defending by you and your ill-trained, uneducated and most likely hispanic or black selves, and hey, if you get killed or wounded or whatever, you know, don't worry - I'm willing to hold this sign for days to make you feel better)

3. It appears that the flag/freeper ratio is the same
Edited on Tue Feb-20-07 07:00 PM by unhappycamper
as the porta-potty/freeper ratio.

But a gotta give them credit for the cold. . . .

on edit: to clarify ratio comparisons

4. I think that they demonstrate more for their own ego as for anything.

12. Well, yes, of course you're right.
I just get fired up.

Tony Snow is a Freeper. They scrubbed all his posts when he succeeded Scotty McClellan as Bush Crime Family spokesman.

9. You know why they do this don't you?
It is a response or I guess you could say counter protest to Code Pink, who has been protesting at Walter Reed for nearly 4 years now, demanding the bush administration take better care of the wounded soldiers.

So it isn't even an original idea by these freeper assholes.

14. Yeah, I know.
Code Pink has been on this for a long time.

Imagine being stupid enough to counter-protest taking care of all the beloved soldiers they claim to care about with their Chinese-made magnetic ribbons and stuff.

:grr:

13. Wonder if they ever thought about going inside and actually talking to the wounded
You know, actually facing these soldiers they 'support.'

These people are cowards through and through.

15. They continue in their loathesome insistence
That this war has anything to do with "our freedom" and "defense of the republic." One has to question their sincerity. Are they really that dumb? Our freedom has not been threatened and our republic is in no danger.

17. Notice "God Bless The Military." That's because they don't give a fuck
about the soldiers serving in it.

20. Instead of a
