Freeper encounter!
so i'm locking up my bike at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Union today and from a distance i see the unmistakable blue t-shirt with "Bush/Cheney 2004" on it.

i mutter "idiot" to myself, finish locking up my bike, and reach the doors to the union right behind this guy. as we walked in, he went one way i went the other, but when i was right behind him i said "i hope you like more war."

i kept going in my direction and pulled out my phone to call a friend of mine.

i was walking for about 30 seconds when all of a sudden behind me i hear:

"yeah i love war cause it gets me all that oil i love so much"

it was the freeper! he had followed me!

i rolled my eyes and said "that's great buddy, how about deficits, you like those too?"

he kind of stammered for a moment and then blurted out "russ feingold sucks" (in response to my feingold button on my backpack)

i just looked at him and laughed and said "you bushies get more clever by the day! get a clue man!" and walked away laughing.

1. That's the biggest problem.
Freepers have no wit. I don't think they even know what wit is.

3. Oy. I have a freeper co-worker.
Today he tried to compare our invading Iraq with our going to war with Germany and Japan in WWII. He also said we were right to go into Iraq because we thought they were a threat. So I said if I see his daughter in my yard I can shoot because I think she's a threat. To him that was apples and oranges. Finally, as I was walking away in disgust, he said he was gonna give money to the Swift Boat veterans. So I said, yeah, and after your kids have served in the war they can become Swift Boat veterans, too. He said, no, his kids weren't going to war. Typical.

5. Retired military Bush supporter
Here in sunny Arizona where there are many brain dead Bush lovers.I had an encounter with a retired brain dead marine,he tried to tell me thay Kerry is a lying clown and that bush(the deserter) is a great leader.It makes you wonder how sucessful the military is in their brainwashing of the troops.

6. There was one at the grocery store today
He was sitting out front with voter registration forms and a big sign that said "Register as a Republican here!" As I was leaving, he asked me if I was registered and I told him, "I'm a registered Democrat!" He said, "Oh, well, do you want to switch so you can vote for Bush?" And I told him "I wouldn't vote for Bush if my life depended on it. As a matter of fact, that's why I'm voting for Kerry - because our lives DO depend on it."

He wasn't getting much business - not in my town. The parking lot had three cars with Kerry stickers besides mine and no W's - that was just in the area I was parked in.
