Freepers thought Chileans at rescue site were waving the Texas flag

[lunamagica]

This is not a joke.

Seriously, they did :rofl:

[hlthe2b]

1. Was anyone "smart" enough to correct them?

and if so, what was the response?

[lunamagica]

8. Not that I read. There were a couple or three posts complaining that

there was not enough mention of America's role in the rescue, but at least they were waving the Texas flag.

I didn't go back to see if someone set them right

[myrna minx]

23. Did anyone question why anyone would be waving the Texas flag in Chile?

:rofl:

[lunamagica]

29. None at all. Their attitude seemed to be that there was not enough

praise or mention of America on the news coverage, so having the Texas flag was at least a small nod to America for playing the biggest role on the rescue. :eyes: :rofl:

[hugo_from_TN]

33. Actually, several pointed out it was the Chilean flag.

[lunamagica]

37. I know. I was answering the question that if those who thought it was

the Texas flag questioned why it was there. They didn't.

This was before someone pointed out it was the Chilean flag

[Obamanaut]

18. Yes, there were two that I read, perhaps more. Did not read everything. nt

[MineralMan]

2. Morons abound!

[Javaman]

3. I wonder if their brains hurt from being that stupid? nt

[Subdivisions]

5. It must be quite painful to be that stupid. n/t

[HillWilliam]

22. No brain, no pain n/t

[Citizen Worker]

25. Probably not their brain but mine sure does.

[mindfulNJ]

4. Not surprised

Did they complain about them all speaking Spanish too?:eyes:

[gratuitous]

9. Prolly checking their immigrant status right this second

Oh, if only their ignorance caused them as much pain as it does the rest of the world.

[GodlessBiker]

6. They were upset the Chileans weren't speaking English.

[Xipe Totec]

7. They probably think this is a Texas flag too

[KamaAina]

10. And this

:evilgrin:

[The Wielding Truth]

11. Little minds - big egos. So sad for us that Freepers are uneducated

or immune to any knowledge that would help them responsibly govern .

[NYC Liberal]

12. OP isn't kidding, look...

[texastoast]

13. Must work harder. Must phone bank more.

Must not let idiots like this run things.

I WILL attend that strategy meeting tonight, tired or not.

[SoCalDem]

20. Would they say the same if others called us AAAAYmerica

instead of Uhhhhmerica? Places & people have every right to expect others to pronounce their name correctly..

[BolivarianHero]

34. lol at the praising America thing...

Do I praise Taiwan every time I use my MSI laptop?

[louis-t]

14. I always wonder: do any freepers just push away from

the computer and smack their head when they read bullshit like this? Does ANYONE on that site have a brain? Maybe it's the software that's rots intelligence. Somebody ought to look into that. :scared:

[Arkansas Granny]

31. From what I've witnessed over since I stumbled across the site, the collective intelligence

at FR has been in decline over the past few years. There is no real discussion over there anymore. They just get the opinion of Rush, Beck or Fox News and run with it. No one seems to question anything.

[jberryhill]

38. Moderation by purge will do that

I read it for giggles, but I know what you mean. They used to have more discussion than "I can be more crazy than you" contests.

After they purged all Giuliani supporters in 2008 - not as if they were rocket scientists themselves - I was thinking they would kick off any non-birthers. Although "Natural born citizen" remains a leading topic along with "homosexual agenda".

[louis-t]

39. Mindless parrots.

[SargeUNN]

15. I see one person corrected the flag statement

but not surprising it seems to have gone unacknowledged.

[EFerrari]

16. LOL. You can't make this sh!t up!

:rofl:

[Obamanaut]

17. self delete, responded to wrong post. nt

[Contrary1]

19. Oh my...

"...God Bless American ingenuity. Obama, as hard as he tries, can’t destroy the American spirit and willingness to help others."

:crazy:

[Lucy Goosey]

21. Texas officials confuse state, Chilean flag

It's not just Freepers. (Unless the Tx state officials in question are Freepers, which I suppose is possible.)

Texas officials confuse state, Chilean flag

[BlueGirlRedState]

24. LOL from a Texan

This made me laugh out loud. Oh, those dopey Freepers!

Probably half of them are Texans and don't recognize their own flag.

[sinkingfeeling]

26. It's OK. There's a town in Texas that has used the Chilean flag on its ballot for years.

[pinboy3niner]

27. Damn! I guess Perry really DID secede

I didn't think he'd actually go through with it. And I never even suspected he'd move the whole state to South America! :)

[CBR]

28. That is hilarious and not surprising.

Didn't some of them think Obama had created his own flag when he was actually standing in front of the Ohio flag?

[edbermac]

30. "Bullshit! They were digging a tunnel from Chile to Texas!!"

So all them illegals can come to America and go on welfare!!

[City Lights]

32. OMG! They're dumber than I thought.

:rofl:

And I've always thought they were the dumbest group of people on the planet! How pathetic! :rofl:

Don't mess with Texis! Heh, heh. :rofl:

[RedCloud]

35. Freepers actually "thought"? Did they call an ambulance for the head trauma?

[rabs]

36. The Atascosa County, Tx. ballot

Chilean flag adopted on Oct. 18, 1817 predates Texas flag by about 20 years.

Freepers probably think Chile copied the Texas flag RETROACTIVELY.

:rofl:

[Lugnut]

40. Dumbheads. n/t

[PaulaFarrell]

41. Some of them are truly sick

I loved the Chilean coup where they ousted the communists and put the in a kick ball stadium and then shot them or put them in a dark prison.This was a model for us all.
