Anyone See the Counter-Protesters?
There were about 40 pathetic-looking counter-protesters at the
D.C. rally today.  One older guy had a sign calling the
marchers Osama-sympathizers.  I tried to get his attention to
flip him off, but there were too many of us.

29. Stupid assholes probably don't even realize it.

I bet an Army recruiter would send these chickenhawks running!



On edit: I'm probably being too generous with these louts regarding "sic semper tyrannis." They probably know it is the words of a traitor. These ignorant cowards border on treason themselves with their fascist tendencies and hateful minds. Which one of these nuts is the next McVeigh?

35. Where did you get that logo. May I get permission to use that on bumper stickers, etc?
Edited on Sat Jan-27-07 10:35 PM by liberaldemocrat7
This logo would look very good on a bumper sticker, mugs, and other items. Do you have a larger and more clearer image of this?

Thank you.

9. Is that supposed to be Saddam hanging in the background in the
first picture? These people really have a sense of humor, don't they? What does the sign on his chest say?

yellow ribbon on that SUV so I guess that makes them patriots, huh.

27. not surprising
Just about what they always look like at these counter protests. I would like to add however that the woman who appropriated the Marlboro Man photo of the soldier for her bullshit poster

is particularly repugnant considering what that soldier has gone through since then and his current views on the conflict.
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2006/01/29/MNGMHGVCEV1.DTL
I know they are all loathsome but appropriating someones image for a slogan and a practical mascot is just disgusting particularly in this case. They have no shame but we knew that already.

6. Dumbest. Shits. Ever.
Edited on Sat Jan-27-07 06:53 PM by HughBeaumont
Cigar-smoker guy "personally witnessed Iraq democracy and voting".

Yeah, and my friend on his second tour witnessed mortar fire whizzing over his head, Iraqi body parts everywhere and friends/soldiers/fellow members of his battalion in pieces parts thanks to an IED.

You know, bully for your service, but wake the fuck up. You're on the wrong damned side. This adminstration lied to you and the rest of the world, you lost a leg for it and you STILL support this president and want others to do the same? Is this "battered spouse syndrome" to it's utmost insanity?

My sign said "WE ARE Protesting the terrorists! DUMBASS!" That was inspired by one of theirs that said "You NEVER Marched against Terrorists!"

8. Addendum about the "Marlboro Man" in freeptard's sign there: He suffers from PTSD.
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/01/03/earlyshow/main1174711.shtml

"At first, they thought maybe it was the pressure of being on the ship," he said. "The more doctors I talked to, the more they came to the conclusion that (PTSD) is what it is. … I'm continuing my therapy; continued up until the day I got out (of the service), actually."

And Miller knows he's not alone.

"A lot of guys have had way worse incidents from being in Iraq," he said. "And I guess it just — it troubled me due to the fact that their incidents may have been more severe, and they weren't suffering from the same things I was. I just didn't understand how it could affect me so dramatically and not affect some of these guys. But a lot of them deal with different ways.

"The more and more I talk to (other guys), the more I found out there were a lot of Marines that are going through same or similar emotions. It's tough to deal with. Being in Iraq is something no one wants to talk about."


These guys have seen things we couldn't imagine in our worst nightmares. And yet this freeper idiot supports the madman that's directly responsible for Cpl. Miller's condition? Unconscionable.

Get a clue Freepers, dwell above the surface more and maybe you'll figure that out.

32. Hey, ignorant freepers. "Sic semper tyrannis" is on the state seal of Virginia.


A deep blue field contains the seal of Virginia with the Latin motto " Sic Semper Tyrannis" - "Thus Always to Tyrants". Adopted in 1776. The two figures are acting out the meaning of the motto. Both are dressed as warriors. The woman, Virtue, represents Virginia. The man holding a scourge and chain shows that he is a tyrant. His fallen crown is nearby.

Link: http://www.50states.com/flag/vaflag.htm

Little freepers, you know what state Virginia is, don't you? It's the state of Senator Jim Webb, the candidate whose election gave Democrats control of the Senate. And since your short-term memory is shot due to Kool-aid infusion, here's another reminder about Jim Webb: he delivered the rebuttal to your precious bush's State of the Union speech. You know what rebuttal I'm talking about, don't you? It's the one where Webb kicked bush's ass from here to Iraq and all the way back, just to "show him the way."

The tyrant in the seal wears a crown. Who else can you think of who imagines himself to be a king? I'll give you a hint. He's the idiot squatter in the White House.

Alex, I'd like to buy the letters C, L, U, and E for the freepers, please.
