I DON'T think Vetwife was a freeper.

[UdoKier]

At least as far as I can tell. That being said, she did seem to be extremely jingoistic, and had a strange habit of distorting what others had said about specific soldiers as being against ALL soldiers. And the stuff she posted about "hippies" over at her right-wing hangouts was disgusting, bigoted, and I believe, DISHONEST.

But being a peacenik-slandering jingo doesn't necessarily make you a freeper. A lot of people are saying we have to reach out to this type. I don't know how I'm supposed to, when nationalism trumps truth and facts with these folks every time.

The last couple days have been really ugly here with all this. Her melodromatic swansong is the only thing that makes me suspect she may have had some freep in her - maybe she intended to leave behind a rancorous shitstorm ...


Anyway, Vetwife, if you're out there, good luck helping out the vets - that's worthwhile work. But I sure as hell hope you learn to open your mind that there are other ways of thinking, and that being open to them does NOT make people anti-American or anti-veteran.
