I just found this on the Freep
I'm speechless. I used to go to this sight when I needed to laugh. this thread scares me. <especially the person who took a pic of himself pointing a handgun at a kitten>. They are even starting to weed out the impure from within their own ranks. I'm sure there is some sort of law being broken here.

and has been floating around for a long time.

14. Not only that, it was stolen from b3ta.com.
Where little No Hands is something of a recurring theme.

2. That's not a Freeper picture
It's about a year old, and was posted on a gag photo site.

I'm certain the cat was unharmed, none the worse for wear after being posed in front of a pistol.

--p!

5. I just finished the thread
Edited on Fri Jan-14-05 01:02 PM by izzybeans
The kitten is symbolic of an immigrant for some of these people it seems. They get into some pretty scary xenophobia towards the bottom of the thread. It sounded like a veiled threat to me=that's why I posted it. This is the last time I go to this site for my daily RW laugh-at-a-thon. I about threw up. I'm going to stick with Faux News from now on. At least I know their photoshopping up front.

12. There sure is
I can't go to that site. To much hate, it starts to make hateful myself.
The people on that site would gladly institute a one-drop law so that they can comprehend the american people with their puny, falsly stereotyping minds. They would rather have a tatoo on everyone's foreheads so that they can easily determine if they need to hate that person or not.

10. Sounds like "Gangs Of New York"
The belittling of illegals and the agrandizing of true Amercans. Particularly troubling is the comment "No room for hypehenated Amercans". Where does he think his ancestors came from?

16. I guess I didn't know enough
about it. This was the first time I ventured off the news page. I found their take on the news amusing. Now I know where it comes from. :crazy:
