5. and they are working overtime to BURY the yahoo stories
by rating them '1's'

Check out the GD discussion thread for unfreeping a yahoo story estimating protesters at 200,000. And VOTE the story a 5.

They are voting about 30 votes a minute.........keeping it under a 3.

10. Because it goes against their version of reality.
They think that only "commie" fringe groups hate Bush.

7. Where'd you get that last pic? US News? I've been
looking for pics of the London protest, and that's a good one!

As for the freeps--bah.

Their little world is about to come down crashing around them. Chimpy is intolerable; America and the rest of the world know it, and he will lose the election next year. We've more than had it with him. What a mess we'll have to clean up though.

Have some great pictures of the * statue being toppled, although I think some threads here also have those pics.

20. Thanks, I wanted to find one with that proper "ghost town" look!
Funny how the eyes play tricks on you in the London dusk.

Almost looks like lots of people in that deserted square!

16. And yet, they used the Los Angeles Marathon
to pump up their numbers(including the marathoners, the spectators, and the security personnel). Read all about it here:

Foul and dishonest freeper.

Also part of their jackboot brigade that roams the net to monitor other message boards that freepers who left have gone to.

15. Freeps claimed 50,000, once, at one of their rallys
It just happened to be at the LA Marathon!

I think only 3 pointed it out, the rest were either too dumb or in denial.

Thanks. The best part was marching IN the MARATHON.

I almost forgot I was in LA, there was so much applause for all the flags and signs.

ROFLMAO!!!!

Marching IN the Marathon! All that applause for the Freepers, not for the people actually running 26 miles in the heat!
Here's a link to the DU thread about this - still good for a few chuckles:

The pictures are gone, there were some of football stadiums and stuff.

25. They're sounding pretty desperate:
"To: Oldeconomybuyer

Massive (50,000) London protest targets Bush, Iraq policy

On any given Sunday, there are 100 of thousands of people in stadiums across the US protesting the poor play of their football teams.

If the evil alliance of Stalinists, Watermellons and Islamonazis with tons of Sorus money, months of planning and all the free publicity the leftist media could muster can only get 50,000 people to show up, I'd say their protest is a major league flop.

Hell, more people showed in London to stare at a guy sitting in plastic box than showed for these hyped-up protests.

28. It's a cult lingo. And the lingo of those heavily involved in that
cult has degenerated to such a point as to be incoherent at times.

29. Too much reading of Coulter
The freepers are back in the McCarthy era.
One thing is true - the age group most against the war in Iraq in the UK is the over 65s, ie those who fought or were bombed in World War Two. They know what war is really about.

30. Always get a kick out of "Nazi Stalinists" or "Communist Nazis"
Sheer ignorance of history and political idealogies.

Mindnumbing, really.

26. Very desperate, in fact:
"To: Oldeconomybuyer

So that means there are at least 300 million in FAVOR of Bush.
