I am afraid of Freepers letting themselves be beaten in NYC

[jmowreader]

I would not be surprised if some Freepers decided to masquerade as liberals at the RNC. They would then start stirring up shit with genuine progressives (so the media whores can say "look, see how those liberals get into fights with each other") or with the cops (so the MWs can say "see, it's just like 1968 all over again, we need a good Republican president to stop all of this liberal violence and bloodshed.")

And you know, they're right--we do need a good Republican president if we have to have a Republican president at all...but since the last two good Republican presidents were Theodore Roosevelt and Bill Clinton, I'm not hopeful.

Please, all y'all who are going to NYC: Be careful. Please take care of yourself. Make us look like the honorable party we are.

1. It's not all that tinfoil to suspect agent provocateurs.

Unfortunately I've reached the point where I think that is all too likely.

2. Maybe...

...but then again, how many of them do you think have the testicular fortitude to actually risk their hides like that?

They'd probably be more likely to get their daddies to rubber stamp multiple deferments or push them to the front of the line for duty with some country club guard unit, first.

9. There wouldn't be many and it wouldn't take many

Three or four freepers wearing Kerry shirts jumping into the middle of a group of progressives and throwing fists immediately becomes "One Million Violent Liberals Who Hate America."

And you know there are a few freepers who like to fight, especially if they can gain a few "war wounds."

"Son, you see this big gash? I got this by fighting off the evil liberals who wanted to attack Our Great President."
'Yeah, Dad, sure, you know Bush was a fuckhead, what did you ever see in him?'
"Uhh...Clinton was evil."

3. Nah!

Freepers are all talk and no cohones. Those little piss ants are too afraid of their shadows to rub elbows with the likes of us.

The only ones I'd be afraid of is the abortion nuts. They're in your face.

4. They saw Gibson's Passion and are easy prey

To propaganda. "Beat me I am a martyr for the GOP"

5. Simple easy background checks would debunk any of that.

No worries. :hi:

6. Remember "The Grapes of Wrath"?

They knew it was coming and prepared. They quelched it.

7. Allow themselves to be beaten? Nah

Worry about the universe imploding in another 100 billion years if you need something to worry about. The agent provacateur model dictates that after the instigator gets the violence going, he just crosses the barricades and his buddies in the cop department whisk him away, out of danger. Afterwards, nobody can quite remember who started what, there are lots of conflicting stories, and anyone who remembers the punk-ass bitch who started it is just another voice in the cacophony.

11. Clinton was good for a Republican

:P

[DoYouEverWonder]

12. Don't worry

It's really hard for a freeper to pretend they are not a freeper. They will out themselves within 5 minutes, every time.

They just have no clue about rational thought.

13. OK, I'm new here. . .
