OMG!!! Freeperville choked on "Cindy Sheehan"
I often observe what the freeps talk about on their site. I rarely go directly to their site, I use Google to search and hit the cached pages. This time I wanted to see how Cindy Sheehan was affecting them.

I did a site-specific search on Google ("Cindy Sheehan" site:freerepublic.com) and I got over 9000 hits!!!!

I did the same thing on DU and got about 900 - 1000.

The freeps are certainly choking on the story and it seems like the only thing they can talk about.

You'd think they would be talking about Aruba or something...:-D

9. Isn't it amazing how people who didn't even know him
pretend to know how he'd think or feel about something as important as what his own mother is doing. ;(

12. The freepers hate America
but they got away with waving the flag and passing for patriots for a while. Now, they are being exposed ~ Sunshine is a marvelous thing, it reveals what you don't see in the dark.

All their old rhetoric is falling on deaf ears as town after town buries its dead and tries to deal with the walking wounded from the war THEY believed would be a cake-walk.

They hate the Constitution, without which there is no America. They blindly support their own suppression. But their attacks on the mother of a dead soldier has reached a new low. I showed some of it to Repubs I know so they could see who supports this president.

They are decent people and were horrified ~ let them do their worst to try to smear the grieving families of dead soldiers. We don't have to do anything except watch them implode as more and more Americans get a close up look at George Bush's supporters.

Rush Limbaugh and Michele Malkin now look and sound like raving lunatics to most normal people. Only the most rabid and willfully blind partisan could possibly support their most recent behavior. 68% of people polled about Cindy Sheehan say she should stay in Crawford and that Bush should have talked to her. They are losing support. You don't attack a mother who has paid the ultimate price and get support from decent people. This time they are out of their league, imo.

Imo, we should collect their statements about her, and compile them and send them around to everyone we know, including the media. Not everyone is aware of them and their vile smear tactics. It's time to shine the light on them, and I have confidence they will give us all the ammunition necessary to disgust decent people, with their own words and actions.

2. That's a neat technique
Edited on Sat Aug-13-05 09:44 AM by Mizmoon
and it's great that Cindy had found traction where no others could before her.

It's evidence that one person can make a difference. God bless her and her son.

*edit for spelling*

6. A citizen exercising her right to free speech.
I can see why they are outraged.

They apparently want to live in a world in which Big Brother comes on the telescreen and tells them how well the war is going.

7. LOL! They can hate
but they can't Rather-gate, Cindy. And that is killing them.

Boil in your own juices, FReepers!

13. Yes! Was gonna ask if you could resize them again.
Sorry. I am very technically challenged.
I want to be able to forward them to a friend in an email but the images open up in their full-sized glory.
e has a program where you can parse things out in 8-1/2 by 11 and print it on a standard printer.

I positively love the one kids can color! We can let moms know they can bring the kids. I will bring the crayons.

14. Where a mother leads
The children will follow! Your child of 15-16 should be made aware that they, individually, are under scrutiny of the government today for being conscripted (involuntarily) into the military machine of this fiasco calling itself a government of/for democracy.
Start a "mother machine" of "if they know, they won't have to go". They can be kept safe with a mothers love, because mothers would rather be on the line!
Cindy is an honor to all mothers!

16. Ah yes. "Charlie from Aruba" - Limbaugh advertiser.
I wonder if they got the idea to go to Aruba from the commercials on Rush's program?
