Freakers After Action report on the NY Times Protest (ROTFLMAO)

[maxrandb]

Someone on DU suggested that the "dozens" of people that showed up to inconvenience the NY Times were Freakers, so I thought I'd check it out.

Here's my favorite part (cue the dueling banjo's)

"Soon the Caucus for America pulled up in a pickup truck, which would become our stage."

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

"When I saw that we had 30 or more people at a quarter to five, I knew it was going to be a success"

Were there more people, or porta-potties? I'm thinking porta-potties for the crap these people fling out of their mouths.

Hey NY Democrats. Here's a bar to avoid at all costs.

"After the rally, we repaired to O'Lunney's, on 45th Street, and were delighted to see our own rally appear on the TV screen on Hannity's show, followed by Roy Innis, discussing the rally."

1. 30 people?

that's a rally? :rofl:

that's a sunday picnic in the park for our side.

[benburch]

2. Hell...

More people than that show up at my house parties.

[madokie]

34. no shit, about 60 for our last years thanksgivings for friends

hell I didn't realize until now it is a movement:woohoo:

[maxrandb]

20. And how many of those 30

do you think just happened to be walking down the sidewalk...in Manhattan...around 5PM?

If I stood outside the Rolling Stones concert with a sign, does that mean 50,000 people were at my rally?

[smokey nj]

3. Was there any mention of how many signs were spelled.....

correctly? I'd check for myself, but I'm severely allergic.

[frylock]

31. well, they managed to misspell carcass..

Carcass for America.

[unpossibles]

4. wow! 30 whole people?

Or were some of them inflatable? It's so hard to tell sometimes....



and how the heck does such a tiny "rally" get press coverage??!? Oh yeah - my bad - it's propaganda.

[Bjornsdotter]

5. People 30....Brains 0 n/t

[SCantiGOP]

6. riddle

what has 60 legs and 80 teeth?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>a freeper rally !

[KansDem]

29. LOL !!!

:rofl:

good one!

[sakabatou]

7. What's the average for our rallies?

Several thousand?

[gatorboy]

8. From the looks of the rally, 15 were their to report on it.

It's nice to know that the media gives Our Gang so much attention. :eyes:

[mcscajun]

9. "...the Caucus for America pulled up in a pickup truck."

The WHOLE Caucus? In one pickup truck? DAMN, I'm Impressed.

:rofl: :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[annabanana]

21. you know.. like a clown car. . . . n/t

[maxrandb]

44. You owe me a new keyboard!!! n/t

[formercia]

10. I loved the right-wing groupie

had that Coultergeist look to her. I wonder if she can read English.

[AlCzervik]

11. "Patriotic americans read the NY Post and trash the NYT"

ok seriously, that has got to be one of their most idiotic signs ever. Is the NYT perfect, hell no but it is a newspaper unlike the Post which is just shit and imo most people get it for page 6.

[movonne]

12. What does ROTFLMAO mean???

[keta11]

14. Rolling On The Floor Laughing My Ass Off!!

[maxrandb]

15. Rolling on the Floor, Laughing my A$$ Off n/t

[Rosemary2205]

16. rolling on the floor laughing my ass off

:)

[WePurrsevere]

13. I wouldn't punish the Irish Pub just because the Freepers "repaired" to it

I'm sure that due to NY stringent health codes they sanitized the place after they left. :evilgrin:

[maxrandb]

18. I don't mind that the Freakers repaired there

but any bar showing the Sean Insanity Show on the TV needs to be avoided at all costs.

Wife and I walked into a place the other night here in Virginia. Fox News was on, we turned around and left.

In fact, I think if I remember, the Freakers and Bushbots caused all kinds of trouble for the bar that called the cops on the "Bush Twin Frat Mattresses" when they were caught underage drinking with fake ID's. I think a couple thousand DU'ers ought to show up at that bar and "urge" them to switch the TV from Sean Insanity. Barney requires the use of more brain cells.

[Catherine Vincent]

22. I know how you feel.

I went to a car wash once and while inside, all their tvs was set to Faux News. They won't get my business anymore.

[annabanana]

24. for offensive television, I recommend:

[WePurrsevere]

28. We won't watch Fox but before just leaving I'd probably ask &

get a feeling as to why it was on that show/station. It's possible that it may have been tuned in to that show/station at a customer or bored staff members request and not at all the preferred norm for the owner/manager/rest of the staff. If it's wasn't and it IS the norm we'd let the owner/manager know why they were losing a customer and leave.

35. Solution to Hannity in a bar: TV BGone

17. Photos here- looks like the "counter rally" was just as big or bigger

[JHB]

42. Love their signs...Let me play "Karnak"

Answer: mmmmmmm.... Just Judith Miller, but we dated her repeatedly.

"NY Times: How Many Americans Have You KILLED To Date Just To Get Bush?"



Answer: mmmmm...because that's the MTA's job, genius.

"N.Y. Times, your bias gives us the Blues; That's why we watch (photo of a fox) News.
Times, Why don't you publish a (sic) NYC Subway map for Al Quaeda?"



of course the most sensible sign was by a counter protester:
"If the NY Times was really treasonous, why doesn't G. W. Bush do his job and arrest somebody?"

[Initech]

19. 30 people is considered a rally?

:spray:

[rocktivity]

45. For them, thirty PORTA-POTTIES is considered a rally

:headbang:
rocknation

[genieroze]

23. 30 morans

[Gabi Hayes]

25. here are the organizers

[maxrandb]

26. Does anyone know

a DUer used to have a banner on the sigline that had the banjo player from Deliverance and the words "Compassionate Conservative"

I would love to have that to put on my e-mails I send to a wing-nut co-worker.

[Gabi Hayes]

27. no luck so far....how's this?

[warrens]

30. The porta potties double as the after-action buffet

60 lonnnnng straws and it's DIG IN, FREEPERS

[maxrandb]

32. They're pissed at the NY Times for publishing a story

that everyone and their brother knew about. Funny how not one protester showed up at the Wall Street Journal, who just happened to published the same story, on the same day.

They also find nothing wrong with outing a covert CIA agent that was working to protect America from NUCLEAR PROLIFERATION.

The disconnect is frightening. Flag Burning-Bad! Purple Heart Bandages-OK!

[ima_sinnic]

36. one of their comments sez po'd b/c * "asked NYT not to publish"

--DOH, freaks! since when does the "president" of a democracy tell the media what to publish?
I know it's an everyday thing in the world your wannabe emperor has created, but it is contrary to all our freedoms and to (what used to be) our democratic way of life. So it'd be okay if President Hillary asked NewsMax not to publish something that would reveal details of unlawful spying on the citizens? By the way, DUMB@$$es, *41 gave his buddy Osama bin Laden a copy of the PROMIS software years ago (I'm sure he's on the updates list)--"al Qaeda" has been up to date on global financial transactions for about the past 20 years. But don't let a little reality get in the way of your demented ravings. Also by the way, when do you get upset about the outing of a CIA agent by your buddies in the WH?

[LynneSin]

33. THIRTY PEOPLE? Hell 100+ DUers came to the Sept 23rd protest

Hell I had almost 100 DUers show up to the Sept 2005 protests to join about 500k MORE protestors.

When they hit those numbers then they have the rights to brag.

[Mike Daniels]

37. The poster claims 200-300 people later in his recap

Still, an infinite number of Republicans are likely in that area at any given time. The fact they only got 300 to show at their protest should be a reality check.

[LynneSin]

38. They tend to count those standing around watching

If you happened to be in the general area of their little protest you'll be added into the count so it seems like people actually showed up.

It's kinda like a train wreck - you know you shouldn't slow down and watch it but you do.

[maxrandb]

39. Well it was on a sidewalk in Manhattan at 5PM

I'm sure there wasn't a soul on the streets of Manhattan during that time-frame.

[Mike Daniels]

40. Thanks for the explanation

I was a little surprised at the 200-300 number myself since they pulled only about 20 people at their "big" pro-troops/Iraq war rally in DC all those years ago.

[Generic Other]

41. A freeper rally in the back of a pick-up truck?

That is hilarious.

[niccolos_smile]

43. Patriotic New Yorkers read the Post???

:wtf:

I thought the Post was a tabloid, liberal rag, whose specialty was attacking precious, little Ann Coulter. :sarcasm:

[dogday]

46. Remember during the 2004 RNC?

750,000 people walking by Faux News and called them liars.....

[ComerPerro]

47. Hell, in KC we can easily get 20 or more just to show up and drink

and they are celebrating abotu 30 at a protest?
