Just talked to LynneSin in DC

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

She's there with another newer DU'er and a couple other folks from HRC and United for Peace and Justice. She said she never saw so many people wearing dead animals in her life.

They never found Du'ers because they got blocked in on the other side of the street with the lemmings..but they did turn their back on Bush during the motorcade and some Repub woman standing by them got all upset about it.

She said :hi: They are on their way home now.

1. No fair! You're supposed to like our dictator

whether you like him or not!

Poor little sensitive thing!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

3. Nothing like being told off by someone who is half female

and half dead marsupial. :puke:

[Raster]

5. "after I beat the help, I slip on a dead animal to take the chill off..."

[blm]

13. *BZZZ* How do Republican women relieve stress?

That was the Daily Double!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

41. I just saw a snippet on the news that showed rethugs going to their party

and whining about the protestors, making a point of using insulting terms to deride them on camera. There was only one guy in a tux who had the guts to say it's a free country. He'll get stomped on by his own soon enough.

As to the furbabies, I'm convinced that Karma will catch up to them eventually.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

6. YAY Lynne!

:toast:

Thanks for the update Teena! How ya doin'?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

8. Good

taking off soon to go pick up Misunderestimator

[Kathy in Cambridge]

11. Great!

Tell her I said 'hi'. Have fun...I hope I'll get to SoCal again in Feb.

7. I thought the same thing about the fur.

I had no idea people even wore fur anymore. It was the multiple pieces that got me. The fur coat, hat and boots ensemble. I even say a woman (in fur) with her daughter (maybe 12 years old) with her own fur coat. :puke:

[wtmusic]

9. I bet pissing her off made it all worthwhile

except I think I'd rather just be yelling at him. He doesn't deserve my beautiful back. :crazy:

[Texasgal]

10. Thank you for the update!

You are sooooo damn good!

I appreciate the update, this whole day has just SUCKED! Hearing stories from the "front lines" gives me hope.

THnak you NSMA!!! YOur awesome! :)

12. I guess a few protestors turning their backs on * is more outrageous

than conventioneers turning their backs on a gay Congressman. :eyes:

[JimmyJazz]

14. It was not just a few protesters. If you watched CSpan, there were

at least SEVERAL thousand protesters. They seemed to outnumber the supporters in some places -- MrScorpio says they lined both sides of the street.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

15. Or wearing purple bandaids to mock purple heart recipients

[deadparrot]

16. You know what gets me about Bushbots?

A war that has killed over 1000 Americans and over 100,000 Iraqis was fought for a lie.

Yet someone turns their back on DimSon, and it's a federal offense worthy of a loud public repremand.

18. I think the reference was to fur for the purpose of wearing fur

not to leather for the purpose of protecting oneself from road rash -- there is a difference.

On edit: your purpose for picking on a long term poster is what exactly?

[Texasgal]

20. Ummm.... I don't see anything in this thread

regarding leather.... It was about FUR!

What's the issue?

[JimmyJazz]

21. Heh - what do you THINK is the issue???

:7

[Texasgal]

22. Pizza?

Personally I prefer pepperonni! :P

[JimmyJazz]

24. I kinda like mine with extra cheese. But, it's your call --

I am in the mood for some pizza, though -- it has been a long day. I have already had a slice, though and I really hate to be greedy.

[Texasgal]

25. OH hell... let's have a pizza party!

Just for the hell of it! Whaddya say? :P

[JimmyJazz]

27. What next????

[JimmyJazz]

26. Sir/Madam - I've a question: what makes you a liberal or progressive?

'Cause I gotta tell ya -- I've done a search on your posts and I'm not exactly seeing a progressive point of view. I'm just asking...Why do you define yourself as a liberal.

(insert Jeopardy theme music here)

29. I definately think they were referring to the fur vs. leather

And fur, as you may well know, is very expensive to acquire and usually work by rich snobby people who vote for Republicans. Some people also think it's mean cuz it hurts the little animals. :(

That aside, welcome to DU. I think.

[JimmyJazz]

30. He/She seems to have left for the time being.

I think I'd reserve the welcome for the time being. Sorry.

[Shananigans]

32. Nah...I've been around long enough to realize that everyone deserves

a welcome. Maybe it's my philosophy of "kill em with kindness"

After all, we all have opinions and even moreso we want to defend them. The wonder of DU is that we have eventually learned "defense without offense." Sometimes it takes the newbies a little longer to catch on!

[JimmyJazz]

33. Normally, I agree - but when the n00bs post nothing but RW

talking points...Well, what can I say???? :shrug:

[Shananigans]

34. Sometimes ya just gotta smile & nod!

Or slap them upside the head with a pancake turner... er...whoops. Did I say that?

[JimmyJazz]

35. I already told them that they missed a RIGHT turn....

Jeebus. What more can I do?

[Shananigans]

36. Damn...then I guess I'm all out of ideas.

:)

[JimmyJazz]

38. You COULD try the "alert" button...

:shrug: or not... :)

[Shananigans]

40. Nah...you have to actually wait until they do something wrong to alert...

they just expressed an opinion. I'm fine with that...even misguided people are welcome on DU. I think I have only ever used the alert button once...I enjoy anarchy sometimes and figure that someone else is going to alert on it if it is a problem anyways... I'm one of "them" ;)

Oh well...off to bed. Have a great night and...don't let the bed bugs bite!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

31. Leather is a by product...nobody eats mink

any other questions?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

37. Here lies the body of a freeper troll

his mouth and his ass
were the same smelly hole

[JimmyJazz]

39. Drat - I wasn't finished playing with him yet!

Crud.

[Floogeldy]

19. Is she hot?

:P

[Biased Liberal Media]

23. Way to go Lynne!

42. on the scene and making the scene
