So far, this is my favorite freeper comment...

[Neecy]

This is from their speech thread, and it's about the only thing I can stomach to post:

---------------
(In 1948)the size of our forces was no match for the much larger Soviet Army.

This socialist needs to ask General Patton about that. I'm quite certain Patton would have rolled right into Moscow if given the green light.
---------------

George Patton died in 1945, and our 1948 post-war forces in Europe were considerably less than they were when the war ended.


Lots of gnashing of teeth over there. LOL.

1. I plan to spend alot of time readidng FR...

The day after Obama wins the election.

[ronnykmarshall]

3. Well we got the classic ...

"We're screwn" after the 2006 election. I can only imagine what gems we'll see this year.

And when Pickles leaves W????? Oooooooo! That's gonna be great reading.

[zanne]

8. I think that's "Schadenfraude"...

But I don't care. Is it OK if I'm petty and vengeful on the inside?

[depakid]

2. "ask General Patton"

The little warmongerer would have done better to have asked Napoleon....

[mediaman007]

4. That's a pretty small circle of members over there.

[eleny]

5. Yeh, Patton would have needed a lot more than a green light

[ulysses]

15. like a couple thousand T-34/85s.

[Aviation Pro]

22. Would have been M-47s by then.....

....and T-34s were Soviet armor.

[ulysses]

24. I know they were Soviet.

That's my point. :)

The M-47 didn't come into service until the 50s, did it?

[Barack_America]

6. Perhaps the poster was referring to him/herself and an upcoming seance?

;)

[JohnnyRingo]

7. I flip through there now and then

I'm amazed at the number of posts that claim he's too stupid to give a decent speech. They go on about how every other word is "uhh" or "aaaah".

I don't know who they're watching, or if they get this impression from AM radio nazis, but I'll guarantee he'd never be able to cut it as a Free Republic poster. He's just not on their level of intellect.
Hahahahahaha

[Blue_Tires]

9. lol

i see that arguement made on the youtube patton speech comments at well...funny how many simplistic teenage keboard generals there are out there...even though the youtube comments on vietnam movie clips are far, far worse

[Barack_America]

10. Yeah, 'cuz history shows us that invading Russia is a GREAT idea...

Napoleon, Hitler...HUGE successes with the whole Russian invasion thing.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

11. The Red Army would have annihilated Patton.

They would have rolled right over them. Far more men, much better tanks.

The only think that kept the Soviets at bay were nukes.

[YOY]

14. The JS Tanks would have been hell to deal with.

Hell, the Kiev-3 Tanks would have been hell to deal with.

Hell, the T-41s for SHEER NUMBERAGE would have been hell to deal with.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

18. T-34s were hell for Panzers to deal with.

And we averaged, what, five Shermans per Panzer?

[YOY]

20. Sorry, the 34s were what I was referencing.

Yes, and we never had to deal with the Katyushkas either. Pretty sure the Germans only has small mobile rocket launchers and never in vast numbers. Sure you can take them out easily but before they go if they get that salvo off...say goodnight gracie to everything in that general area.

[ulysses]

12. lol - even if Patton hadn't been dead by then,

Zhukov would have eaten him alive.

[alcibiades_mystery]

13. The Red Army was responsible for 9 out of 10 Wehrmacht casulaties

This guy is smoking crack cocaine.

Patton wouldn't have been able to take Poland, much less Moscow.

Imbecile.

[AllentownJake]

16. Freepers don't know history

Big surprise.

[YOY]

17. I had one come up with the movie 300 as if it were really the battle of thermopylae

Called himself a historian.

Compared himself personally to the king, Leonas, there in his ability to back down and his rightousness.

I had no words for rebuttal.

It was a first I know.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

19. He liked to have sex with young boys?

:shrug:

[YOY]

23. No, but he definitly did not trust strong women as he ranted about how his ex took away his daughter

Not a huge surprise when he was fired by his female supervisor. Problem taking orders from women. Shock o' shocks I tell you!

I assume by "strong", you understand that I meant to say is any women who actually had a spine and her own opinion and didn't live in a room covered in Disney decorations at 24.

He did display his disgust at a gay friend's mentioning of his sexual habits. (Nothing too colorful.)

21. why give that trash site a hit
