Freepers show their support for the Haiti telethon
Not!

BFD

won’t watch it. don’t care where it is shown.

Nnnnnnnnnope! Not gonna watch OR donate to ‘that’.

We will watch rented movies.

Gee, I am too busy tonight, I need to wash my hair. ha ha ha

Me to. And I also have to shave my legs.

I just bought a new puzzle today.....good thing.....

Actually I'm going to put on an old copy of Grand Theft Auto Vice City in the PS2 and spend a couple of hours doing “drive bys” in little Haiti.

Not a friggin' dime.

Good, I can finish watching 24.

Sorry but I already have plans to organize my sock and underwear drawer. Priorities, ya know.

Thanks for the heads up, I’ll find a good book.

I only get 6 stations now. They all are showing that telethon. Makes me feel like I’m in Russia or somewhere.

It was on 19 flippin’ channels!!!

Just Say No To Haiti.

8. They are truly heartless assholes
Freepers are like the Terminator...they can't feel pity, or remorse, or fear.

9. They feel plenty of fear - it's what drives them to hate everything not
just like them.

10. The Sheep and the Goats
Edited on Sat Jan-23-10 06:46 PM by 47of74
Someone ought to read this verse from the bible to RimJob's band of Teabaggers;

"When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'

"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'

"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'

"Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.'

"They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?'

"He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.'

"Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life." (Matthew 25:31-46)


I wouldn't be surprised when they get upstairs that they're asked to stand at the left hand side.

11. How are they rationalizing that take?
I mean very few people just say "I am a heartless fuck" even when they are heartless fucks. They must rationalize it somehow. What's their angle?

12. 'they gave at the office' I guess
but some are outright saying they aren't giving one dime (or nickle) with no further 'explanation.'

15. Actually this sounds to me like a bunch of guys setting around bragging
about their conquests. See I did it to and I am better at it. One starts it and the others follow along behind. They never think of justification - just which brand is hot today.

18. It's because Rush told them they already donated to Haiti when they paid taxes.
It's their attitude toward Haiti as being a bunch of freeloading bums, and black, to boot.

22. It's complex
Some of it really comes from a deepseated, white hot hatred. Some of it comes from a need to look hateful and uncivil so as to take a swat at political correctness, like it's some sort of status symbol.

All of it is pretty revolting, but I truly do not think they care if it's revolting or not.

27. I read this post earlier today and went over there to see for myself.
I never found the topic you are quoting from but was knocked back in my seat by the racism, homophobia and just pure hate that lives on that site.

Sad. Really sad.

28. search for 'telethon'
and you will find five threads. Most of the quotes came from http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2435061/posts">this one.

32. The majority of the posts there seem to be from a group of self absorbed
wannabe rich types who don't know the real meaning of the word empathy.

It must suck to be them.

31. True
Stick around, and you'll see sexism, homophobia, misogyny, and regional bigotry on DU, which is also sad, being that we're the "progressive" site.
