Here's a sneaky way to troll GOP blogs w/o them even knowing
Post a link to optruth.org on their blogs with a message like "Support Our Troops!" and "Read the Latest from our Soldiers" or "See combat footage here from real soldiers". It's totally honest, and it will get repukes to read all the stories from soldiers about how they don't like Bush.

2. It will take them all of 24 hours to brand it as "lefty propaganda"

4. whatever, I think that would be really reaching though,
considering that the posts on there are from soldiers in Iraq right now.

5. they already have..
They branded it Democratic propaganda ever since the TV commercial with the soldier missing his leg.

If they don't like the info, they always brand it from the enemy. That even applies to Wash Times articles <shrug>
I guess its just their safety mechanism to protect their emotions.

Either that or they're just ignorant. ;-)

8. the irony
"If they don't like the info, they always brand it from the enemy."

Think of this quote the next time a DUer posts doubt about an election fraud theory.

12. Doubt is acceptable, IMHO.
A more pertinent analogy would be peeps saying Micheal Moore and Al Franken were working for Repug's because they wont talk about possible election fraud.
It's one thing to disagree opinion wise, it's another to claim they are being intentionally deceptive.

Right and Wrong are NOT defined by one's lunch box sticker being a Donkey or an elephant.

6. How About "Shock and Awe" ?
Post a message such as "Do You Have The Balls To Look At the Mayhem in Iraq", with a link to blood and guts images of burnt children and headless torsos....It's a win-win proposition, and it's honest.

7. Hmm. Keep your enemies closer eh tbuddha
What stealth. Hey, maybe you can help me with something? Someone I know sends me redneck freedom isn't free propaganda about the war. Recently they sent this message titled something like these pics are moving. I would like to send her some moving pics of my own. Where would I go? To the optruth.org site?

9. I am not sure "moving" is the right terms for these images...
Edited on Wed Dec-01-04 02:52 PM by Turn CO Blue
They are so graphic. I don't even know if she would stay your friend. I mean they definitely will break your heart, but not in a warm way.

Here is a link to large collection of Iraq war victim photo galleries.

In order to get into these galleries you must login with:
Username: war
Password: photos
after clicking on a gallery.

<http://www.newcastle-emlyn.com/stopwar/photos.shtml>

Go down to victims galleries. All of the war supporters should have to see these images!



Edited for clarity.

10. You're right, my bad, moving is not the appropriate word
Graphic is more like it. At this point, I am at war with Bushies...she's a Bushie and they are dead to me. So I really don't care what she thinks about them.

13. I just went through these pics again,

and it just f'ing killed me. I am so angry, so hurt, so bewildered. WTF are we doing??? ANYBODY? I can't stand it! This war is beyond asinine -- it's evil! I'm sitting here bawling and feeling so powerless. These people are victims, but our troops over there, they are victims too - because they will have to live with the knowledge (if they make it back) that they were actually killing human beings. How will they cope?

The thing really makes one question God and the whole concept of justice.

Peace.

14. Turn CO Blue I can relate to what you say here and the pain too
:cry: It is evil. Innocent people are being murdered. Soldiers lives are being destroyed and for the ones that don't make it home, their families are destroyed. It's horrid what we are doing. And we ARE NOT fighting for freedom. How did my government become so evil and careless?
How does a monster make amends?
