AIRPLANE WITH DISGUSTINEG ANTI_ABORTION BANNER FLYING OVER MY MN

[Worst Username Ever]

office building right now, with a picture of a fetus next to a dime, and a phone number 1-888-234-9292. Seriously, a Cesna or something with a massive banner behind it, flying through downtown St. Paul, MN. Freepers crazies.

I just left a message:

"If you are going to support the right wing agenda to that extend, why don't you post some pictures of dead Iraqi kids too, because that is just offensive."

1. Hey, 800 numbers cost money.

Why not just give 'em a call, and an earful at how offensive you find their banner.

2. I saw the samething here in PA. Flew over my work a couple times during...

the week.

[Misunderestimator]

3. Saw the same thing a couple of years ago while on the beach on Sanibel

Island... How about we get someone to start flying pictures of dead Iraqi children around?

[funkybutt]

4. yeah...lets DU that phone number (n/t)

5. What should we say to them?

Something like get your nasty posters out of my office window? Or should we request that they show some pictures of dead Iraqi kids, if they are going to support thee right wing agenda so much?

7. If the plane's below 1000 feet or

manuering over a highly poulated area, call local law enforcement and the FAA with its numbers. Odds are the pilot's violating regs if he's not over the water...

6. called the number -- left message about Iraqi dead kids

I'm very angry about my painful eye today, so this gave me a good outlet for that anger... thanks for posting it, along with the phone number.

I ended by telling them to take their hatred and shove it.

The message voice had a British accent, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if this is "outsourced" to India.

I hope thousands of DUers take this opportunity to jam their phone lines.

8. More and more I see freeper tactics....

Being advocated by DUers.

It's not good enough anymore to disagree with the message, they must be punished (in this manner financially).

Jesus does no one remember the outcry of how wrong it was when freepiots jammed MoveOn? Or when those a-holes tried charging pennies to some peace activist paypal?

10. War is hell...

Like it or not, its us against them. We can't sit back and allow them to do stuff like you illustrated to us and not offer any kind of Resistance to them. Its a necessary evil in the main battle to take back the country.

[rinsd]

23. Possibly....

But correct me if I'm wrong. What if the plane had been flying a pro-choice banner and freepiots organized to call the 800 number so the sponsor of the banner had to pay more money.

I didn't have a problem with the first person calling. That poster saw the banner and they wanted to complain. Fair enogh, speech vs. speech.

It was the call to arms for purposes of putting a financial hurt on those people.

[Kanary]

12. I took action, and you blast me????

Well, then go vote for Bush.

Go work to make abortion illegal.

Go cheerlead for the war.

But, leave me the hell alone.

bye now...

21. You didn't even see the banner....

So take your mock outrage somewhere else.

20. Really?

Because when assholes try the same tactics but are for the other team we call 'em brownshirts.

Screw excusing bad behavior just because people are on the same team.

[Joe the Revelator]

9. I called...

said they should put their negative energy behind something worthwhile, like ending the war in Iraq.

[Kanary]

13. Thank you! I appreciate hearing that! I'm tired of being blasted

constantly on DU anymore.

Thank you for letting me know what you did -- I appreciate your efforts, as I appreciate mine.

14. Its rediculous...

that some people on our side think that we should just sit here and take shit like this like a bunch of good little soldiers. Its about having a spine people.

[Kanary]

17. It's about having a spine, yes, but more......

We revere Rosa Parks (as we should!) because she refused to take it anymore.

We revere the women who went to prison in the name of Women's Right To VOte (as we should!)

We revere the white Freedom Riders, some who died in the cause (as we should!)

Yet, now we turn on each other, and rather than support each other in the MANY Civil Rights fights we have facing us, we eat our own.

Something is very wrong here..........

Kanary, very ready to give up the fight, and let others take the garbage for a change........ and no, that isn't an invitation for MORE CRITICISM from the *other side*......... it's a statement of where many of us have come to with all this infighting crap. TIME TO CEASE AND DESIST!

[Hell Hath No Fury]

11. Hmmm....

I think that number may make its way to every rest stop bathroom I come across for awhile.... :)

[seabeyond]

15. they talk the filth of hollywood given to our kids

but they are giving the sex of abortion and sex of homosexuals to all the little little kids not ready for it, for their agenda. i have had more problem keeping the fundie talk of abortion and gays from kids than i have the sh*t on tv and porn

[gratuitous]

16. Noooooo!

Just sit quietly and don't do anything, don't say anything. If you object, that's fine, but please keep it to yourself. We all know that if you oppose something, as a good liberal, you're just supposed to register some private disdain, but if you take any kind of action at all, well, you're just no better than the Freepers we claim to disagree with.

Did I just about capture it? Or should I try again?

[Kanary]

19. I think you got it, but you left out one itsy bitsy thing......

Scream like bitter hell about the "spineless Dems" who won't stand up to the Repugs. After all, you've been a "good girl" and kept quiet and ever so sedate.......... so you got your arse covered, and can now righteously go after the Dems who won't do the same thing...... you won't do.

Anyone else....... does that cover it?

22. Haha...someone made a funny....(nt)
