Free Republic Kristinn Taylor - who the hell are you to talk about protest numbers???!!!
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070529/ap_on_re_us/cindy_sheehan_6;_ylt=AgHVaLX8Zr2Jrx2uAMGFFXYE1vAI

Kristinn Taylor, spokesman for FreeRepublic.com, which has held pro-troop rallies and counter-protests of anti-war demonstrations, said dwindling crowds at Sheehan's Crawford protests since her initial vigil may have led to her decision. But he also said he hopes she will now be able to heal.

"Her politics have hurt a lot of people, including the troops and their families, but most of us who support the war on terror understand she is hurt very deeply," Taylor said Tuesday. "Those she got involved with in the anti-war movement realize it was to their benefit to keep her in that stage of anger."


Might I remind you of a typical freeper protest



Perhaps if Mr. Taylor could get more than 50 passerbys to show up for one of his rally I might actually thing of him as a credible witness to successful protest numbers. Outside of that - you're just an asshole Mr. Taylor

2. How insulting!
To add to your post, how arrogant of this dipshit to now think he has the right to state that he understands Cindy and "hopes she will now be able to heal".

Kristinn, you are a liar. If you really cared, you wouldn't have organized the hateful opposition to Cindy.

3. Yes Kristiin let the Eagles Soar
Those of you who support the "war on terror" are fucking lunatic conservatives cheering on while others die. You are a fan of a drug addicted, military deserting, corporate criminal liar and you are very proud of that, your number "accomplishment" in life. You and you kind do nothing FOR our country. LynneSin is way too kind, you are a constitution hating worthless sack of shit not worthy of your citizenship.

7. Why do they give that fool attention?
Ya know what?

I thought about the spin that would result in response to Cindy's announcment.

I knew they would try to make it an attack on the anti-war movement? Look for that in columns and teevee talking heads. They will ask: "Is this the end of the peace movement? Is the anti-war crowd done?"

I predict backfire. :)

8. That's some fine reporting, there.
The opposition of Sheehan's vigils/protests? The spokesperson of the 103rd Chairborne. Bunches of monkeys pounding on keyboards are more well-versed and clear thinking than that whole cesspool of mouthbreathers.

13. What else is new?? LMAO!! Great post!
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9478262/">Rally to support Iraq war draws hundreds
Organizers had hoped for far larger response to Saturday’s D.C. protest

compared to:



http://www.globalpolicy.org/ngos/role/iraq.htm">An estimated 300,000 protestors turned out in Washington, DC, in what was the largest gathering of anti-war activists since 2003....

14. Yeah, successful protests always have more chairs, flags, and sound equipment
than protestors.

Not a Honeybucket in sight, though--who effed up at FR--and have they been seen lately?

16. And porta-potties
That picture was from the Oct 2002 protest (weekend that Paul Wellstone died). We had about 300-400k protesters and Free Republic has about 30-40. Hell I had more DUers show up at my hotel party than the free republic had at their 'counter-protest'

The funny thing about this protest was that the Free Republic spent $3,000 for porta-potties and there was a post about this on their website along with a request for volunteers to keep anti-war protestors out of their porta-potties.

19. Lynne, remember the 20-30 Freepers that were on the sidewalk
during the protest march in September, 2005. I remember pointing fingers and laughing out loud at them. What a bunch of pathetic losers. :rofl: :rofl:

17. Uh, excuse me -- but why do these corporate shills give FR coverage for this?
Read the story. They quote a freeper for an angle on Cindy's words and no one else. :wtf: :wtf:!!!

Who the fuck CARES what freaks like Kristinn think about Cindy? FUCK THE LIBERAL MEDIA!

21. Is the AP LAZY or simple OWNED by the right.
What happend and what was reported bore NO SIMILARITY.

There is a real story here, regarding the 'Anti-War' Democratic base and a majority party that can't end the war. That's the fucking story. That's Cindy's story.

Some freeper wipes spittle off his chin to proclaim that he understands the war on terror. Thus the right man for this scoop.

Can't remember the last time I learned anything from an AP article anyway.
