Lurking freepers: ask yourselves this
A couple of days ago, a crazed gunman stormed into a church full of liberals. One of those liberals rushed to block a shotgun blast with his own body, while others overwhelmed and subdued the gunman.

How does their bravery square with your image of liberals as effete, kumbaya-singing ninnies? And if it doesn't, then which of your other cherished beliefs about liberals might also be wrong?

I'm challenging you to ask yourself those questions in the privacy of your own heart and mind, and to answer them thoughtfully and truthfully.

2. And Mental Illness Met By Rational Humaneness
Neither did those liberals beat the shit out of him, which they would have been perfectly justified to do.

to get through to a freeper. They have to have a relationship with or at least an acquaintance with reality for you to have a chance.

5. Or, Look at it another way: some unarmed, peace-loving liberals...

from Vickers post yesterday:

"Look at it another way: some unarmed, peace-loving liberals watching a children's musical at church took down a psycho with a SHOTGUN.

So if there are any lurking wingnut psychos reading this, watch your ass...we don't back down as easily as you think."


I liked his post yesterday, and yours today.
I hope it would make them think and hopefully reevaluate their beliefs (as unlikely as that may be).

Hey, I can hope, right?

6. That would certainly explain why the freeper gun-nuts believe they "need"...
automatic weapons. It's not just Babmi's Mom who's out to get them, it's unarmed libruls, too.

7. Thoughtfully and truthfully?
Nope, not a chance, you see they are so brainwashed that they don't even have to think about it.

Fuck em, they are all gloating, and wishing THEY could do the same.


Fucking murderous repukelican scum.

10. privacy of your own heart and mind... i am hoping a few i love that i have
recvently talked to about the problems the conservatives and religious have creted in this nation will reflect also. three people i recently talked to about the hate that has been created by the right and how they cannot see that the right has done that. i hope while they learn about this story they remember back to what i have just recently said and about how it saddens me that people i love will not acknowledge what has been dont to this nation by the hate and division created by right wing, christian coalition and the limbaughs and hannity's of the world
