They hate all 82% of us (warning - big pics)

[stevedeshazer]

[Heidi]

1. Good. I'll consider it a character endorsement. (eom)

[alittlelark]

2. OK... after those pic's, I gotta go to bed (and try not to think)

There are times I am sooo happy to live in N CA.

[bluestateguy]

3. How, oh how, can we get these people to vote Democratic?

The DLC says we'll never win an election again if we don't play nice with racist, sexist, anti-gay fundamentalistwackos!

[stevedeshazer]

6. Yes, we must move to the right!

We'll make them LIKE us!

[KansDem]

44. I've already started!

Bought some knee pads the other day. Well, bought them really so I can do some remodeling work on my house. Kind of difficult to do dry wall work and lay tile without some kind of cushion for 52-year old knees. And Spring is here, so there's the gardening chores to consider.

But I'm prepared to do the "kneel and moan" shtick at the next fundie get-together. I'll do my damnedest to make them like me!

[libhill]

82. OK, OK

Let's see now, uh, Praise Jaysus, Jaysus hates them funny boys, kill all them thar A-rabs what did 9/11, ya'll commies ain't gonna take my scud missle launcher, it's all Clintons fault - am I a good wingnut rethug now? I wanna be like them when I grow up!

[Zuni]

7. We'll do fine as long as moderates realize

who the GOP is really made of.

[comsymp]

52. Post of the day.

Thanks.

[spanone]

79. LOL Great point. You can't move too far right for these defective units.

[anarchy1999]

4. Scary. I'm looking for the post someone made earlier about the

similarities in RW radio here and what happened in Rwanda. I watched the HBO special tonight and I'm glad I did not go see Hotel Rwanda in any of our independent theaters. I want to see it at home.

[October]

63. Same reaction here!!!

Watching that HBO movie last night sent chills down my spine.

They kept mentioning the hate radio...and all I could think of was the right wing nutjobs.

Scary indeed!

[Zuni]

5. On Freerepublic

there were Freepers saying they no longer loved America, that the majority of Americans were heartless scumbags, culture of death etc. etc.

I wonder if anyone else noticed the virulent Anti-americanism of these so called 'Christian Patriots'

And They say we hate America!

[FreedomAngel82]

57. Lol

Too funny. I have also been called anti-American because I am a liberal democrat. :eyes: Go figure. Maybe if enough of them are angry they'll stay home in the 2006 elections and not vote for Senate or Congress and then we'll have a chance to take those sections of government back. Eh one can dream.

[libhill]

83. Well, then

There's a prime opportunity to toss there own dumb ass rhetoric right back in their faces- if they don't like America, go somewhere else. Fight fire with fire, turn their tactics and rhetoric against them.

[libhill]

84. Well, then

There's a prime opportunity to toss there own dumb ass rhetoric right back in their faces- if they don't like America, go somewhere else. Fight fire with fire, turn their tactics and rhetoric against them.

[autorank]

8. Brilliant post! Just brilliant. Thank you.

The shot of the dad (w/his son) is chilling. Somewhere around here, they're looking into some criminal match for the guy. Very, very chilling and compelling stuff you've put together.

[kliljedahl]

50. Already been done

He's the one that sent his 10 year old son (pictured) to be arrested. He's also a registered/unregistered sex offender.

Post here is one of many: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3369835

[autorank]

75. Thanks for the link and Welcome to DU!!!

The connection here is a real "Wayne Madsen Moment." It gets creepier and creepier!

[kliljedahl]

76. Thanks for the welcome

At the rate I'm going I'll soon not be a "Newbie." When does that happen?

[autorank]

77. Hmm, well, 1000 plus posts will do it (it's great equalizer).

You're actually beyond "newbie" status, IMHO, when you get cyber-fragged by a wacko or troll and it doesn't bother you much. It also occurs when you can argue with wacko's or trolls according to the rules (which are really quite good) which say, argument and disagreement yes, personal attacks no. If you do this and detect a bit of sadistic delight as you notice them meltdown, then you've arrived big time.

cya :hi:

[Swamp Rat]

9. Lobotomy is the only cure for these creatures.

[sandnsea]

14. Your graphic

Is just as nutty and offensive to 82% of America as trailer hitch Jesus is to you. I could get a ton of left wing protest pictures that are just as loony as anything they're doing in Florida. THAT is how anti-war protests look to America, just like Florida looks to you. And before you say the media picks out the left wing wackos on purpose, well they probably pick out the right wing wackos on purpose too.

[Swamp Rat]

16. No, it isn't.

It is NOT nutty and offensive to 82% of America. In fact, they told me it was very moving and apropos.

"THAT is how anti-war protests look to America" - I've heard that before.

[sandnsea]

17. You spoke to all 82%???

Suuure you did. It's always amazing to me that people can be so blind in themselves what they criticize in others. And you can post all the wacko pictures you want, it doesn't change the fact that offensive anti-war protesting doesn't bring people around any more than these nuts in Florida do.

[Swamp Rat]

20. Since you decided to criticize me, I will deconstruct your talking points

"Your graphic Is just as nutty and offensive to 82% of America as trailer hitch Jesus is to you." - PROVE IT!

"I could get a ton of left wing protest pictures that are just as loony as anything they're doing in Florida." - Don't brag. SHOW us.

"THAT is how anti-war protests look to America, just like Florida looks to you." - 1. YOU don't speak for America. 2. You don't know me.

"And before you say the media picks out the left wing wackos on purpose, well they probably pick out the right wing wackos on purpose too." - Are you a mind reader?

"You spoke to all 82%???" - No, but you were speaking for this abstract figure all by yourself. I was merely pointing that out, with a bit of disarming humor.

"Suuure you did. It's always amazing to me that people can be so blind in themselves what they criticize in others." - You drew first blood.

"And you can post all the wacko pictures you want," - Some call it art. Others, like you, criticize what they do not understand. That's OK, though. I've spent my life getting criticized for telling the truth.

"... it doesn't change the fact that offensive anti-war protesting doesn't bring people around any more than these nuts in Florida do." - Logical fallacy and not the point of this thread.

Will you continue with this line of reasoning and ad hominem? I'm not really interested as it is unproductive. :)

[sandnsea]

22. Let's reverse it

I used the 82% because that's what the OP used. 82% don't agree with the people in Florida, it doesn't mean 82% think they're nuts.

Said to Florida fundie: You know, 82% of Americans don't agree with you and are thinking you look a little nuts.

Fundie: It is NOT nutty and offensive to 82% of America. In fact, they told me it was very moving and apropos.

:shrug:

I'm just pointing out that some people might want to take a look in the mirror before they go pointing fingers at the Florida fundies. And I really don't think you seriously need, or want, me to spend an hour gathering up protest photos to prove my point.

You know, there are Catholics who are anti-war. Wouldn't it be ironic if people were posting pictures of pro-life marchers who were at anti-war marches the weekend before?

[Swamp Rat]

25. Let's not

"Your graphic Is just as nutty and offensive to 82% of America as trailer hitch Jesus is to you." - You made this initial statement which is pure fiction. You cannot prove this, and you declined to answer. I would too.

"I could get a ton of left wing protest pictures that are just as loony as anything they're doing in Florida." - No, I don't want you to post "a ton of left wing picture(s) that are just as loony." In fact, I'd prefer you stop helping Karl Rove with statements like that. Seriously.

"THAT is how anti-war protests look to America, just like Florida looks to you." - Repeat: 1. You don't speak for America. 2. You don't know me.

"And before you say the media picks out the left wing wackos on purpose, well they probably pick out the right wing wackos on purpose too." - Again I ask: are you a mind reader?

"I used the 82% because that's what the OP used. 82% don't agree with the people in Florida, it doesn't mean 82% think they're nuts." - I agree on this point. Who knows how many people think the Schiavo protesters are nuts. Speaking for myself, I think they are nuts and make America look bad to the rest of the world. I have family in Brasil, Costa Rica, Germany, Spain and Canada. ALL of them told me that they, and their friends, think these people are insane and dangerous. I'm not going to argue with them as I agree.

"I'm just pointing out that some people might want to take a look in the mirror before they go pointing fingers at the Florida fundies." - Ok, I looked. I am sane and they are not. :)

"You know, there are Catholics who are anti-war" - I am very very happy about this. I have marched with many anti-war Catholics here in New Orleans, the most Catholic city in America I know of. Except for a few here and there, we are a VERY tolerant bunch... we also protest against the death penalty.

[sandnsea]

45. Of course not

You obviously don't want to look at your statement through the eyes of somebody else.

I already explained the 82% number, it was just as much of an overreach as the OP. I agree.

The point is the same.

Some of these picturez could just as easily be pictures of people praying for peace. Some of them.

Oh Divine Master, grant that I may not
so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;

[WearyOne]

19. that is such a mad pic

[Swamp Rat]

21. G'day mate!

Is that how you guys say it? :)

:hi: Welcome to DU!

[WearyOne]

38. too right it is..

[hippywife]

34. I'm with SwampRat on this one.

I think his graphic is very thought provoking and as a Christian, I find it right on target. We also have clergy that come out and protest the war with us who have no problem asking the same question his graphic does.

[Swamp Rat]

66. Thank you

I really hated making that pic, as I had to stare at that poor burned child for hours. So, many DUers have downloaded it and reported back that it is very effective - I had no idea if it would be, but it is.

The RWers that have seen it are left speechless. This amazed me. This reaction justified my work instantly, to me, because I wanted to break through the fog of cognative dissonance - and I succeeded.

It is thought provoking and it causes a reactions with DUers, mostly positive. This is the first really negative reaction from a DUer. Occasionally I take some heat for my work, like above, but that just tells me it hit home.

The Jesus I know would NEVER bomb anyone, but some of his supposed followers have turned away from his teachings. That is the point.

[hippywife]

74. I agree!

The Jesus I know would NEVER bomb anyone, but some of his supposed followers have turned away from his teachings. That is the point.

That is exactly why I think that graphic is incredibly appropriate. It moves me everytime I see it.

Thank you for creating it, SR. :)

[KurtNYC]

43. No, here is what an anti-war protest looks like...

[sandnsea]

53. And this

Explain to me how the people in Florida are more extreme than these people? They believe they are on the side of life, just like an anti-war protester does.

[Swamp Rat]

67. WONDERFUL! Now, that's a real anti-war protest!

Ours was a lot smaller, but it was large for our small community and the South.:)

[monobrau]

10. I hope so

I've dedicated my life to being their worst enemy.

[GetTheRightVote]

11. Next, they will drink the Kool Aid from Jim Jones

:kick:

[Journeyman]

13. Jim Jones was more a political "liberal" than anything else. . .

Champion of the poor, advocate for racial equality, friends with San Francisco Mayor George Moscone & California State Assembly Leader Willie Brown. . . the People's Temple was quite active in a variety of Democratic/liberal causes and supported a host of leftist groups. I'm told they drank Flavor-Ade, as well.

[Deja Q]

36. Well, nobody's perfect!

:D

[solinvictus]

70. Jim Jones/CIA/Mind Control Experiment..

I've honestly given that theory a second look considering the way his mission started. It's weird that he went from champion of the poor to a psycho so quickly.

[AntiCoup2K4]

81. Hey you gotta wonder sometimes....

Mayor Moscone - murdered by a former employee who ate too many Twinkies.
Jim Jones - Died with 900 of his closest friends of a supposed Kool-Aid overdose
Willie Brown - Still alive, but only because "somebody" told him not to fly commercial airlines in September of 2001

Things that make you go hmmmm......

[GoBlue]

24. Just a minor point of correction...

I read recently that it was Flavor Aid, not Kool Aid, that Jim Jones used.

[njdemocrat106]

12. Does anybody agree with me that...

we liberals are a LOT better looking than those freepers, fundys, and other assorted scum in those pictures? :)

[Richard D]

15. I was going to say the same thing.

What is it about them that is so . . . well . . . stomach turning?

[WearyOne]

18. what brilliant pics !!! stark raving mad though

[LibertyorDeath]

23. LMFAO!

This one's a keeper



It's really sad the kid in this one has that for a Father.

Could he possibly look any more gone. Looks like he's been sharing a cell with Charles Manson for a very long time.

[Cooley Hurd]

27. Holy pervert, Batman!

[Crankie Avalon]

31. WOW!!!

Just...WOW!!!:scared:

[Ganja Ninja]

39. Not surprising that a perv would pose as religious fundie.

These scum will do anything to gain access to their victims. Think of how hard it is to become a catholic priest and how many years of commitment that takes and look at the scourge of pedophiles in the catholic priesthood. Becoming a layperson in a fundamentalist church is easy by comparison. Pedophilia is probably just as prevalent if not more so in some of these little backwater fundie church's.

[FreedomAngel82]

65. Something I wonder

and just thought of. Is that boy really his son? Or is he part of his whole thing?

[MountainLaurel]

72. Not necessarily posing

Perhaps he's just a fundie who happens to also be a pedophile.

[footinmouth]

64. Yikes, I made a visit to Freeperland yesterday

and even they were getting kind of embarassed about the lady in white. They even went so far as to say she probably wasn't Repbulican at all, just the left infiltrating their ranks to try to make them look bad. Way to disown your own.

[slor]

26. Someone really should get those freaks...

away from the Hospice.

[mediaman007]

28. You know that these "born again's" should be more humble...

After all, some of us got it right the first time and didn't need to be reborn! If you get a second chance, after leading a life of sin, I think that sitting quietly on the sideline is appropriate.

By the way, putting the "Stars and Stripes" on a tie is bad flag etiquette.

[RPM]

29. seems they hate grammar and spelling too

or are those just worldly concerns?

[Hekate]

30. Why do they hate our language?!

Those are scary photos. Somewhere a high school English teacher is crying in her coffee.

Hekate

[rooboy]

32. And what about this scary dude?

[Cooley Hurd]

35. OMG! They've got JB!!!!

Run, KG, run!!!!

[readmoreoften]

58. who the hell is that?

Charles Manson Bush, some Bush Family third cousin? And what does BOB mean?

[Cooley Hurd]

69. It's JB!

JB=Jack Black.

That still is from Bob Roberts (about a right wing folk singer who runs for political office)...

http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0103850/

[rooboy]

87. It's Jack Black...

in character as one of Bob Roberts' supporters in the movie Bob Roberts. Wonderfully portrayed right wing nutcase...

[dolo amber]

33. Good grief...why do fundies hate fashion??

:cry:

(Seriously, wtf is she wearing? :wtf:)

[iconoclastNYC]

55. My guess....Kathy Lee Line circa '98 from Wal-mart n/t

[dolo amber]

68. Circa '38, more like

:D

[ithinkmyliverhurts]

37. Judge not, lest ye be judged.

Or something like that.

Or, let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

[stevedeshazer]

40. Okay, then

I take it all back. They're right, we're wrong.

[Zynx]

41. Even a big percent of the Religious Wrong doesn't agree with them.

That tells you something.

[GOPBasher]

42. So why does the Right hate America?

We should keep asking this question. I think they hate us for our freedoms, personally. (Hmmm, that sounds familiar.)

[Shopaholic]

46. They sure do look like they're filled with Christ's spirit don't they?

Why just take a look at the LOVE and COMPASSION on their faces. . . . errr--NOT!

[tx_dem41]

47. And you hate them...

I presume. Which one is worse?

[stevedeshazer]

48. I don't hate them

Their freak show behavior angers me, but I don't hate them.

They have every right to do what they are doing.

[tx_dem41]

49. Okay, then I apologize for my presumption. n/t

[stevedeshazer]

51. Understandable you'd presume that

More than anything else, I feel sorry for them.

[RedCloud]

54. Their group IQ results are in!

They scored a cumulative 106 points. About 50 more of their kind are needed so they can reach genius status for an individual, by sharing!! What a concept.

Trying to make the fundies proud of their intelligence,
Red Cloud

[Arkana]

56. Please, DU comedians

Find a good caption for this pic and write it in.

[RedCloud]

59. Miraculous fundie hair growth formula.

Note: ONLY disbelievers fail to see the man's hair while his proudly flaunts his KKK replica cross.

[Beacho]

60. Matthew 6:5-6

"And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men....when thou prayest, enter into thy closet and when thou has shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret...."

[stevedeshazer]

71. Very nicely done

Thanks.

[Discord]

61. Can you pick out the pedophile in these pics?

I can't find the thread that had the link. But the guy holding the Bible with the kid in front of him and the flag behind him is a registered sex offender.

[Shadowen]

62. I love that one kid's shirt:

"JESUS
SAVES"

In Star Wars font. HAH!

[ultraist]

73. Those people are not just whacked out cult followers

They are terrorists who use violent means to inject their "religious" beliefs into our laws and to oppress people. Operation Rescue is a hate group as are many of those fundie groups.

[DS1]

78. Who the hell would want to share heaven with any of those miserable pricks

[WLKjr]

80. Wow, these are the same kinds of people that called me names

at a little protest I organized against W back in august when he came to lima. I was told I was a 'A librul godless hippie who was going straight to hell!"


The don't ever change!

[VegasWolf]

85. Boy the nuts are crawling out of the woodwork after 5 Bush years.n/t

[libhill]

86. It'll only get worse
