Well known hate group (FreeRepublic.com) invited to meet President Bush at White House.

[onehandle]

wtf.

Members of the D.C. Chapter of FreeRepublic.com were invited to the White House today for an event for troop support organizations with President Bush. Other groups included Vets for Freedom (in the beige polo shirts), Families United for Our Troops and Their Mission (in the red polos shirts), Move America Forward, Gathering of Eagles, the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars.

AUDIENCE: USA! USA! USA!

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you all. When the history books are finally written about this chapter in the war against extremists and radicals, they will recognize certain truths: one, that we recognize that if we were to retreat from the Middle East the enemy would not be content to remain where they are, but they would follow us here.

3. Well, if you stop and think about it, what sane

4. He's trying to get back on their good side just in time for Rather's lawsuit.

[Greyskye]

5. oh. my. ghod.

I was sure that this was going to be a joke. Of course it is, but not in the 'funny' sense. We have truly entered bizarro world - the POTUS pandering to the backwash.

Argh. (obligatory TLAPD reference)

[B3Nut]

8. He *IS* backwash.

He just likes to be surrounded with people like him. Go ahead and have fun George, enjoy. You deserve each other. Now excuse me while I go throw up.

You can find more hateful diatribe on the first page of freerepublic.com than all of the liberal blogs put together.

[Chipper Chat]

7. Wonder if this guy showed up:

[sinkingfeeling]

[enid602]

12. night shift

"Members of the D.C. Chapter of FreeRepublic.com . . " You meant the night shift at White Castle?

[eppur_se_muova]

13. Who "edited" the transcription of Bu**sh**'s speech?

He's never delivered a speech that free of bungles and bobbles.

[NanceGreggs]

14. They have a weird sense of 'honor & dignity' over there ...

"President Bush has always fulfilled the promise of returning honor and dignity to the White House and Oval Office. What a thrill to meet him!"

[Arugula Latte]

15. I can't wait for the mainstream media to begin foaming at the mouth

because, you know, an extremist group was invited to the White House.

Oh, wait.

Nevermind.

[leftynyc]

16. Isn't this the group that

attacked the father of the fallen soldier just recently? THAT should be front and center of this.

[hisownpetard]

17. Was this swanky event katered by the KKK? n/t

[yardwork]

22. No, those were the guests.

[hisownpetard]

23. Oof! n/t

[MissMarple]

18. That is just pathetic. What's next, an autograph party at a Wal Mart opening?

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph...give me patience.

[NYVet]

19. He also had almost a dozen milbloggers at the WH in the last week.

A couple of those milbloggers are halway decent, and one of them is on a board for Rep Boyda (D-KS).

I find it funny that they mentioned dinner with the Gold Star Dads just after they get done beating one in the park. Fuckheads.

Freepers are humanity's mistakes.

[Hersheygirl]

[Carrieyazel]
