Here is the quote from Free Republic (and the extremism for which it stands).

Here is another treasonous site:

I am so proud. But it ain't me, it is those who have courageously refused to follow illegal orders in an illegal war.

My website lists the heroic men and women in the US military who have publicly said "NO" to this idiotic, immoral, insane, illegal war.

You can see that list here:
http://www.tomjoad.org/WarHeroes.htm

We must do all we can to honor these people, and to stand with them when they say NO to a war for empire, which is really a YES! to a more compassionate & sane planet.

2. Congratulations, my Friend

:applause:

I still remember when they mentioned my name in contempt because I was investigating THEM when they were trying to slander Andy Stephenson.

[Railroader]

3. Congratulations.

8. When ever I think of Free Republic

I think of how riduculous segments within this nation have become. The irony is that Free Republic hates freedom.

[ourbluenation]

9. u must b one of them amerika haters!!!!!

Congratulations and well done!!!!

[jeff30997]

10. You're a real Benedict Arnold !

:rofl:

[flowomo]

11. "freerepublic" didn't say anything about your site....

one poster (Anita1) did. You can find poosters here, there and on every site saying just about anything.

[Greyhound]

12. Congratulations! If you're not being targeted by them as a

traitor, you're just not trying hard enough. :rofl:

[rox63]

13. Cool!

Congatulations! I'll have to check out your site.

[Debau2005]

14. So, I guess this means

That all the freepers that find your site "treasonous" have all enlisted and have either been to the Middle East or are waiting their turn?
:shrug:

[ck4829]

20. Hey! They have served...

Here is their logo to prove it.

[Mutley]

16. Congratulations!!

You've officially been inducted into the anti-freeper hall of fame. :bounce:

[Liberal_Andy]

17. Free Republic = Chickenhawk Blowhards

what a bunch of losers!

[shenmue]

18. What an honor

Mazel Tov!

Any time the people at that site have something bad to say about you, you know you're doing right.

:toast: :applause: :thumbsup:

[txaslftist]

19. Congratulations. Thomas Jefferson wore the same brand.

[i_c_a_White_Ghost]

21. What An Honor!

[madmom]

22. I'm confused....

why is it illegal for Kerry to be in the US senate? One of their posts said as much.

[MidnightWind]

23. Congratulations!

Show 'em what free speech and free thought looks like! :yourock:

[understandinglife]

24. Congrats! Just gave you # 5, for your efforts ....

Peace.

[RoBear]

25. Congratulations!

Kind of like being faxed by Fred Phelps--you're not considered anybody until you've received one of his hateful faxes. SO YOU'VE ARRIVED!!!

[Q3JR4]

26. Yay!

:yourock:

If FR called me a traitor I'd tell all my friends about it and let them know how pride I was.

[dogday]

27. Hope you pissed them off real good

Sorry, I can't help it. It does a heart good to see their panties getting bundled over this...

[Drifter]

28. How hard can that be ?

Seems like just a tad of common sense would get you that label over there.

Cheers

29. The Free Republic called my website "treasonous"

Consider it a compliment.

[melody]

30. All the founding fathers were called that many times

Those guys at that forum wouldn't know what treason was unless Rush explained it to them, and even then they'd get it wrong (since he'd BS them).

[phusion]

31. Someone needs to make a graphic that says:

"Called Treasonous by Freerepublic.com!" with a blue ribbon or other "award" looking symbols.

It's quite an honor.

[Catrina]

34. Lol

Great minds post alike!! I do think there ought to be something like that available ~ it really is quite an honor.

I was very moved when I saw one of my posts there, although I did not reach the lofty level of the OP, since I was not called a traitor on that occasion, it was obvious the freeper's head in question, was ready to explode. I was quite proud and would have liked some kind of memento to mark the event!

Buttons also, might be nice ~

[Catrina]

32. You must be so proud!!

I can't think of a higher honor a Patriotic American can be awarded than to be called a traitor by a chickenhawk, brownshirt, Freeper!! :rofl:

Isn't there some kind of award for this honor? A large yellow chicken or something? Seems a shame if there isn't. I was quoted over there once, by an enraged freeper, and was very honored also.

Btw, seriously, your site is excellent. Sgt. Kevin Benderman is currently in jail, and not being treated very well right now. I mean in terms of being allowed to speak to a lawyer, pastor of his choice etc. It's unbelievable.

You can write to him at his site www.bendermandefense.com and his wife Monica will pass it along. He has over a year to go, so he could use knowing we have not forgotten his brave stand.

[StellaBlue]

33. Sweet

congrats!

:D

[Demonaut]

35. TREASONER!!

is that a word....gotta check my freerepublic free dictionary

[Career Prole]

36. It's a confusing world these days. If freepers call you treasonous

consider yourself a true American freedom-fighter.
If shrub hangs a "Medal of Freedom" around your neck, however, you are quite the opposite.

High five, Tom Joad! :D

[CanOfWhoopAss]

Great Site but...

Does it put a bulls-eye on the people listed? Don't get me wrong I love the site but some of the nutjobs are lunatics.

[MN ChimpH8R]

37. There is no higher praise.

:)

[elehhhhna]

38. And now the news, with Hairy Treasoner...

Good on ya' Treasonous Poetic Patriot Comrade Joad, SIR!

[DanCa]

39. They called me a toddler killing free loader gold brick.

welcome to the club :toast: :beer: would love for them to come here and say that.

[karlrschneider]

40. Being dissed by Freepers is a significant mark of highest honor!

:D

[Justpat]

41. Congratulations.

I'd consider it a badge of honor.

[Arkana]

42. Then you are DEFINITELY doing something right.

Getting the Freepers' undies in a bunch usually means that they feel threatened.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

43. Great site you have there! Thanks for the link!

Oh, and great name as well!
:toast:

44. Oh, I'll check it out right now, thanks for the link to your site!

45. Harassing Conscientious Objectors

I thought that Conscientious Objector was an accepted option. This is a well established and morally defensible practice.

I would never do this myself but I can respect the those that do.

Anyone harassing a conscientious objector should be court-martialed.

[MsLeopard]

48. Good job!!

Thank you for your help in bringing Democracy back.

[BrightKnight]

50. I would not call them "War Resisters"

These people are simply conscientious objectors. They are not necessarily acting against this specific "war".

[Hotep]

51. who the hell are they to call someone treasonous?

The freak-republics are punks that want someone else's child to die in a war that their pussy-asses are too chicken shit to sign up for. Why don't the fuck you sign up, if you are so patriotic? What? Did I hear chickens cackling amongst the chirping crickets?

[stepnw1f]

52. They Are The REAL TRAITORS

Most are too ignorant to realise the truth. The rest are just fucked in the head!

[RagAss]

53. Many have really bad things buried in their past.....

[mom cat]

54. Nice work!

55. Your site is GREAT!!!
