Freepers take on the Libyan strikes

[thewiseguy]

I support our Military. Go American Military! My opinion is let these (Libyan) people kill themselves. I care for neither side .... poop on all of them and iran.

We have no formally aided the Muslim brotherhood

perfect

Draining the Treasury and liquidating our defense assets is his only goal.

Muslims know this.

Way to stir up the hornet's nest again, Obama.

Constitutional???????????

How odd is this: a half-American, non natural-born citizen, posing as President, launches a war without Congress’ approval, while on vacation?

Where are the weapons of mass destruction?

So to save the Libyans, we have to kill them.

OK.

Are they nuts? Libya is not our problem. We have no skin in this game. Let Europe and Africa figure it out.

Hmmmm...

2. if a repub were in the WH, they'd be advocating carpet nuking the whole region.

[Urban Prairie]

5. yeah...until the rubble bounced. n/t

[Faygo Kid]

3. They hate Obama. Little else matters.

He's a Kenyan Indonesian Muslim Communist mulatto to them, and Fox News reinforces them at every turn.

It would be laughable if it wasn't so pathetic that many here expect the FReepers and Fox News to cheer Obama for this action.

[meow mix]

12. are you talking about DU or FR?

may want to specify

[Faygo Kid]

19. Yeah, it's a little tough to tell today.

Always welcome dissenting opinions here, but some of them are over the top today.

At least you can always count on the FReepers and Faux to march in lockstep. At DU, let a thousand flowers bloom, I guess.

[sabrina 1]

27. Did you support Bush's war in Iraq?

How dare you try to compare hypocritical freepers to principled DUers who did NOT support Bush's war in Iraq and who are now not supporting another war in another Oil producing country in the Arab world.

I believe these posts comparing DUers to Freepers are all against DU rules. Not to mention how wrong the comparison is.

Those freepers supported Bush's wars because he is a Republican not on principle, simply because it was their guy doing it. They oppose the Libyan decision because it is NOT their guy doing it.

You have made a comparison to DUers, now prove it. You don't get to just toss out these lies without proving them.

Show me any DUer who is questioning the Libyan decision now, who SUPPORTED, like your FREEPERS did, Bush's war in Iraq.

If you cannot do that, then you need to apologize to your fellow DUers.




I will check back to see your evidence.

22. I want you to stop referring to people who are opposed to military

intervention in Libya as "Ghadaffi Lovers". 'Kay?

[SolutionisSolidarity]

33. Wow that takes me back. Of course, it was "objectively pro-Saddam" back then...

Well, all you pro-empire boot lickers have your fun now. I remember when the statues of Saddam were torn down, and even Jon Stewart was attacking people like me for our anti-American lack of imperial zeal. But eventually the fun and excitement will wear off, and we'll still be there. Then you can explain to the American people why you were for it before you were against it. Again.

6. These are actual quotes from DU.

I can recognize them.

[joshcryer]

14. I am only finding them in this thread, not elsewehre on DU.

I don't think google scrapes freerepublic as often and as quickly as DU.

[DevonRex]

7. Sounds just like DU. Go figure.

[bowens43]

8. Even a blind pig finds an acorn once in a while............

an as to all of you who support this action, we can assume that you also supported bush when he liberated Iraq, right?

[old mark]

11. There is absolutely no comparison between Iraq and Libya...nt

[gateley]

9. I think the Repubs are backing this - at least McCain and Lindsey

Graham (big surprise) are.

They just haven't gotten the message yet -- or maybe they have, from Rush and Beck.

[KittyWampus]

10. Just a variation of what some are posting here. For the record, I'm ambivalent about this whole mess

[The Northerner]

13. K&R nt

[David__77]

15. They almost ALL support this - you are cherry picking.

The right enraged at Obama for "dithering" for weeks. They love this shit, just like our own war caucus.

[joshcryer]

16. No, you're 100% wrong, I'm looking at it now, it's about the same ratio as DU.

No kidding. I’m getting awfully tired of our troops risking their lives for people who would happily slit their throats.

:puke:

Please don't be dishonest, I am sick of even reading that site. It's been years since I've visited.

[Cali_Democrat]

17. Bingo.

nt

[joshcryer]

18. Wrong, I posted evidence, I can post more but I don't think can stomach that site.

He's being dishonest! Utterly! They don't support it! As far as I see it's the same ratio as DU. A few do, but most don't.

[Luminous Animal]

20. Yes they do. A lot of cheering for the military and many who are against it do

so in extraordinary racist terms.

[David__77]

21. And they are SO right in pointing out that DU would be solid AGAINST this is it was Bush.

Bush could have taken essentially the same course, getting UN approval and attacking Libya, and I somehow think that there would not be the outpouring of war support we are seeing here.

[Faygo Kid]

26. Sorry to disagree with a fellow long-time DUer, but I do.

I like to think of DU as a site where sentient beings express their opinions. There are knee-jerk posters here like everywhere, but most actually think before reacting.

Just because they may disagree with you on this particular issue is no reason to flame them by claiming those at Free Republic are right.

I say this as someone very disturbed by this action, but who will seek out a lot more information tonight and tomorrow. I do know that Khaddafi is no prize; neither was Saddam, but this intervention doesn't look like that one to me.

[joshcryer]

31. Nope, for me it's about the UNSC, it has nothing to do with Bush or Obama.

[joshcryer]

30. That is completely wrong, go to their site and judge for yourself.

[thewiseguy]

28. Actually I am not. I was surprised to see most of them in that particular thread were against it

I guess it has to do with the president more than anything else.

[joshcryer]

32. I had to check for myself because I know they're warmongers, but you're 100% correct.

FreeRepublic does look like DU today. It's not a confirmation bias. It's 100% true.

I can do a statistical sample if people don't believe it. We can look at the posts, count the pro-anti sides and see how many there are. I bet the breakdown is very much like DU.

Something isn't right.

[roamer65]

23. They only support conflicts when Rethugs start them.

Usual garbage from these subhumans.

[kenny blankenship]

24. I love the one who knows what "Muslims know"

[Joe the Revelator]

25. Sounds like DU

[Arkana]

29. Hey Freepers--you need to support the President in a time of crisis, remember?

I thought it was seditious to do otherwise!
