so what happens if it was right wing bush supporters who did this to stir up more hate against the various "lefties, commies, libs and traitors" grab bag o' scape goats?


and as others have suggested, im having trouble believing this one as it hasn't popped up in the legitimate press, especially this close to sept. 11

Sorry Spike, all out, I've been using it for underarm deodorant.

Oddly enough if you do a google on Mrs Trooprally she appears a few times at various pro-war meetings so I would suggest that it is a pen name rather than a fictional character.

But I agree there seems to be a remarkable level of silence from the authorities and veterans groups who you would expect to be up in arms (rightly so) on this one, enough to make me suspect that it isn't genuine.

Yes InfernO, I think we should take a better look at this. I knew the names were fake but the story might be fake as well.

Those names are Freepers screen names meaning the guys are members of Freerepublic.com

Bulldogg, have you got any more of this spray, I'm getting low.

you know that forum rules prohibit you from acting like a moderator?

True enough but there's no rule against me doing it. Let's keep this thread on a less than personal level. Insults and unfounded accusations will not be tolerated.
I would rather let the validity of this story be the sole subject of discussion here.

It IS against the guidelines to act like a moderator ... however ... anyone can report another member who is unrespectful or is guilty of trolling.

You have been guilty of both all through this thread - I have tried to defend your right to your opinion even though it was the hardest thing I have done on this forum - due to the personal animas I have towards you (your trolling when it dealt with Democrats).

I am NOT a moderator either ... however ... I DO HAVE A RIGHT TO COMMENT ON SOMEONE ELSE'S POST ... and ... YOU OPENED THE DOOR TO THE COMMENTS WHEN YOU MENTIONED THE GUIDELINES IN CONJUNCTION WITH ANOTHER MEMBER'S POST/NAME.

Well, I didnt mean you. Some of the new members here seem to be unfamiliar with the forums' rules and tend to act like a moderator all the time threatening to ban people for voicing their opinion. Why don't they use "Ignore Button"?

And back to the topic:

I just posted what I saw and sent to me, and am not the person to examine the validity of this story. Although it seems valid enough to me

I don't mind opposition views and never cared about it but it makes me hate those who want to suppress me for being a right-winger and pro-American/war individual here. Reporting is one thing, acting like a moderator and threatening to ban me (when they dont have the power to do so) is another thing.

I have been here long enough to know who is who here.

phoenix, PM me.
