1. "I always find a comic laugh"????
Edited on Thu Sep-18-03 07:28 PM by Iris
"a comic laugh"? As opposed to what a "tragic laugh"?

But this is so "freepin'" pathetic:

"I'll believe she has the courage of her convictions when her non allegiance pledging parents return a welfare check uncashed. Until then, she f**king STANDS for the flag."

What strong language. What's he gonna do, go to that girl's school and pull her up out of her chair by her hair?

2. More than Sad
It makes my blood boil. Most of the comments are completely racist -- the posters don't even try to disguise that fact.

I was a bad boy last week and registered at Free Republic to post some opposing viewpoints. In response to a post about praying for Bush, I agreed that we should be praying for God to forgive him for sending so many people to their deaths in Iraq for no reason. My post was deleted and my privileged revoked in less than five minutes.

But attacking a teenage girl because of her race? That's just fine by them.

:grr:

4. I've always wondered
What do these people look like? Are they foaming at the mouth while they post?

5. Its not just because of her race
Thats one factor. They are racist assholes, granted. But a lot of what I saw in this thread was their anger at her refusal to be indoctrinated.

The thing that really pissed me off was that these people are the same ones who, when defending the pledge, say "If you don't like it, don't say it".
But it looks as though people are being forced to say it and at least stand for it.

One post there summed it up:
Opt out of the pledge? How about opt out of public schools instead?


These people are racist, classist hypocritical double-talking motherfuckers.

8. yes, see my post
Someone actually said, "she FUCKIN' stands," as if he is willing to go and physically FORCE her to do it.

To some extent, it's pathetic; a lot of big talk that probably could not be followed up because the weenie who wrote it is, well, a weenie.

But the venom behind it - now that's scarey. I'll bet he is the spouse of a battered woman.

11. I would bet
That most members of Free Republic are either spousal abusers or are battered wives.

21. They're deranged and dangerous!
Then they have the balls to debate and write messages to the paper in CA and those people who said they're a "hate group"! They could've fooled me! I'm sure many of you have read the many threads the past few days, and MANY today, where they're denying doing the dreadful things..These people should be locked in the looney farm! Check out their latest work I just posted about in Gen Disc.

10. This could be interesting
Now agreed the thread is completely racist

but I saw this

<snip>
I was a bad boy last week and registered at Free Republic to post some opposing viewpoints. In response to a post about praying for Bush, I agreed that we should be praying for God to forgive him for sending so many people to their deaths in Iraq for no reason. My post was deleted and my privileged revoked in less than five minutes.
<end snip>

Could the moderators be sued for banning this and not the racist remarks.

Heck if McDonnalds can be sued for Hot Coffee and BurgerKing sued for a man being embarassed by mimicking the "AWH" in a commercial.

just a thought

16. There are rational voices over there
They're just drowned out by all the trash. And I suspect they don't last very long.

15. "Ebony just about says it all." Lovely.
Edited on Thu Sep-18-03 08:09 PM by Cat Atomic
Racism is big with that crowd.

To any Free Republic lurkers, perhaps you can look at the blatantly racist responses of your conservative friends, and understand why Ms. Jaja is not so thrilled about worshipping the flag.
