My upsidedown flag on my website has gotten me threatened!

Check this out!

One more email and it's off to the police to report them.

They want me to take the flag down for Veteran's Day but I'm not going to! Fuck them!

didn't he write the Bond stories or something like that?

that was the name of the writer of James Bond

Face to face or ear to ear he'll make such an #sshole of himself he'll be ashamed to bother you again.

They sound disturbed, and dumb. :evilgrin:

I am kinda hoping they'll send something else. ;)

I am not surrendering to these people. I was scared but now I'm PISSED!!

Do it now. Terroristic threats are illegal. Why let them get by with it?

My husband said the same thing. Guess I am going to report them NOW.

Idiots. Domestic terrorists. That's what they are. I'm going to call a spade a spade.

His threats can land him in some trouble with the military....conduct unbecoming an officer, probably more. And if he ISN'T, he might be in trouble for impersonating an military personel and/or officer.

Any military folke here know for sure?

If he is military, he is fucked if I report him to his commander.

.. deals with domestic terror.

Sigh. Good riddance, Ashcroft.

Suggestion: show them some of the topics from here at DU on the voter fraud.

The loser probably can't even get laid.

I wonder if they realize how viscerally angry people are? Do they think the (*&&)(*& from people who use long words are any less lethal? Strange...

Stupid is as stupid does.

Both say they will leave me alone if I just take down my flag for tomorrow.

Sure, right.

Hubby and I are going to buy a gun. I've had it with these people.

at a specific time on a specific day. OK, freaks - kill 1,000,000 of us now! I'm getting better self-defense stuff too.

They can try to kill us all but they can't stamp us all out.

Truth and love will win in the end.

I am SO waiting for organized methods of protest to be formulated and implemented, one after another. I expect a wave of action starting in the near future.

Hate to not live up to that!

elected a lying mass-murdering war-criminal. I am chomping at the bit. I'm actually shocked at the lack of leadership. It's tempting for me though I wonder if my kids will miss me when I'm gone?

LOL!

I am NOT removing the flag. Dammit.

How amusing. Not surprising that the weenie wouldn't use his real name, but that one's a laugher. I betcha there's no 193rd bomber wing, either.

which I found most amusing.

Which may be the last book that idiot ever read.

Hmmm. Learn something every day.

All else may be strange and transitory and open to interpretation, but the common heritage of James Bond and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is forever.

193rd bomber wing nothing--Seymour Johnson is an F-15E base and only has fighter wings.

On edit: he misspelled Seymour Johnson; it's always entertaining when someone misspells the base they're on. At least he knows where it is.

It pretty well sums it all up.

"You want to claim this land as the land of the free, then the symbol of your country can't
just be a flag; the symbol also has to be one of its citizens exercising his right to burn that flag in protest."

you should say
'You and what ArmY?'
lmao..

Isn't that considered hate speech which would make this a....HATE CRIME?!?

OH maybe he has money! SUE SUE!!
Email him back your home address and send a note that sez "Will leave the light on for ya!" lmao

...I thought "Seemore Johnsons" was a made-up name from a homophobic bigot with repressed tendancies til i googled the real name.

Now - serious part - I'd report the fuckers NOW.

I thought flying the flag upside down was a symbol of the country being in distress not desecration.

I am a veteran myself and if you want to fly the flag upside down so be it.

You have these so called 'patriots' using them as head rags, t-shirts and other crap.

The 'Toby Keith's' of the world whom have never served a day in the military be it active, reserve or guard are just fools who watch to many movies about the military.

They have no clue how the military operates.

When I was in at least 60 % would get out that day if they would have let them.

I did not serve my country to have to curtail my freedoms. I served to protect freedoms. Screw them. They are ignorant.

My days of hiding are over. If they want to threaten me, then they will be reported. I will NOT negotiate with terrorists.

I think that was do to the culture and lack of information and free thinking.

I am not a peacenik if the USA is really under threat or attack sign me up!

I was for Afghanistan but not Iraq.


I was active duty in the Navy for six years.

Injured my knee coming out of a Huey while on a courier mission.

I will fight to the death for this country but I am a pacifist at heart. War as a last resort is my creed.

:-(

It protects ME at this point. No freedom of speech for threats.

"granted, our election system isn't the best in the world, but name
one that is."

I could say Q.E.D. but the hatemailer is, by observation, too dumb for that, so, I'll explain it for him in slow words:

If our election system is not the best in the world, then by admission, there is a best election system in the world, which, again, by admission, is not ours.

Therefore, I do not need to name one. He has admitted there is a best one, and it is not ours.

Q.E.D.

My husband caught that one too! :)

Logic of Loser's,or what I like to call Flawgic.

Sums it up perfectly.

"e. coli"
WTF? His best insult is to call you a bacterium? I mean, if he was gonna try to insult you, he should at the very least use a GOOD bacteria...Yersinia pestis, Bacillus anthracis, Clostridium botulinum...but he chose pussy e. coli? (sorry...microbiology major)

Still pretty stupid.

net-friend of mine from a blog posted the link to some of her creations the other day, and one has the upside down flag with "In Distress, Not Dishonor," for those who for some reason have no clue what the symbolism is. (If you want to maybe cut down on the hate mail and educate -- if you want to throw their asses in jail, I'm cool with that, too...)

Other good stuff, too -- the "I did not stand up..." side by side with an American version, "51% is not a Mandate!" yard sign. (more risque "man date" involving chimp and dicky)

check em' out. I didn't really check her user policy, since I'd probably just print a sign or sticker, but I imagine it's loose (determined to undermine this crap)

If ** winning isn't distress, I don't know what is.

haven't you been paying attention?

I am in a lot of trouble. Will Falwell be informed?

he was laying out bush's second term ( :scared: ) agenda on cnn a day or two ago.

It was laughable until I realized that bush does indeed have power now, and a (currently) strong claim to power for the next four years, and this hypocrite hater fallwell was saying bush owed him, and the cult, because they turned out the votes to keep him in power. So yeah, this moron fallwell and his gang may well be calling the shots for little hitler, and the held-hostage US.

What kills me is when these delusional goons co-opt the terms "freedom" and "democracy" - ideals they obviously despise.

"granted, our election system isn't the best in the world, but name
one that is"

Name one that is best in the world.???

Well, one must be "best" - that's the definition of best.

Did they quit thinking after they graduated potty training?

My don't I attract the intelligent freepers?

Oh, that's right. There aren't any.

He does have a point......about fucking democracy.

Tell Capt. Ian Flemming I loved Dr. No! Write more!

I love the spelling errors. They make me feel so happy.

"Some day out pathes will
cross, and i will bet you like gong BOY."

Wanna bet? LOL!!!

I'm never quite sure.

When exactly IS that? It it in praise of Veterinarians? that's sweet...

anyway, the "fighter pilot" has made the most direct threat, although I'd include the other stuff with the report in case it's one moron pretending to be two morons.

I'd also probably reply something to the effect of how interesting it is that a Capt in the USAF would not know the meaning of an upside down flag, particularly one stationed at or near a coast.

amazing the level of cultural illiteracy these days. I'm a land-locked flat-lander whose only military connections are siblings and dad, no Navy among them, and I've known the flag protocols as long as I can remember....do they live in their parents' basements or something?

I'm shocked that anyone who can't spell Veteran's would get his panties in a wad over the upside down flag.

it's there for the duration

LOL!

Hello,

Yes, to my knowledge (15 Years US Navy), flying the flag upside down indicates distress, or duress.

If this person is a real soldier (which I doubt), they'd be in a heap of trouble for making such threats...I hope you find out who the person really is.

Sincerely,
Thomas Kangas

If they were, maybe they'd have a better grasp at spelling and grammar.

Arnheim, I'm a Navy Information Systems specialist, particularly skilled with several aspects of computer security. If you could get me the source emails (including all headers), I will be able to verify if the address came through the military system in any way shape or form. PM me with the info and I'll see what I can do.

right now I'm off to bed.

You guys have all been great this evening. I feel so much better. It's nice to be among the sane and the literate.

Geez, it's a distress signal. Not unpatriotic, just sending a message military style.

D'oh!

I believe they will love it more when they see it close up and personal. Report him.

From "Syeymour Johnson AFB"

Well, I'm sure "Captain Ian Fleming" is familiar enough with the laws of this great land to realize that threatening anyone over the internet is a Felony. Probably enough to revoke his "Bomber wings", too.

Thanks that actually made me laugh pretty hard.

If that guy is in the military I'll eat my fucking SHOE.

There's no way in hell he'd sign his whole name and put his information. Call that base up, find the fucker. Report him.

Too stupid to know putting the flag upside down is not desecrating it. And too stupid to know how to spell for shit, apparently. Upside down flag = state of emergency.

and tell him to say something to me. I'll fly my plane to whereever he is and meet him, and I'll whip the fucker like a rented mule.
