Fighting Whites inspire imitators (freerepublic.com mentioned in unflattering terms)

This is from CafePress, isn't that related to a Freeper?

We want the t-shirts out of laughing at them. Frankly, they would be a one of a kind, and unlike some people, we just ain't that thinned skinned.

[Constitution Day]

Ha! :)

[demosthenes the elder]

The Pugnacious Pilgrims
The Battling Blonds
The Industruious Genocides

keep 'em coming, I say.
I think this is a hoot.

[WOSG]

Some other name ideas ...

How about the "Dead pacifists" ... image would be of a peacenik with a tank tread on his front.

or the "Cowards", the "Deadheads", the "Suburbanites",
the "Geniuses" (einstein pic), the "Yuppies", the "DWEM" (dead white european males) etc.

ANother Idea: I convinced a College intramural team to call themselves the "American Spectators" after the magazine.

[WOSG]

"Shorties" would be another name ...

.. thinking of sharpton, you can have the name the "demagogues"

another "off-color" name would be the "big melons", thats for women's softball ...
so would the "Big Dicks" --- named after large people called Richard of course. :-)

also, the "richard head" team.

[Ditto]

We didn’t miss the point, we mocked it.

Mock it hell. I REALLY want a Cleveland Honkies shirt to wear the next time my Pittsburgh 'Stealers' beat the snot out of that team that calls themselves the BROWNS!!!!

[gaijin]

"Cleveland Honkies! Where do I buy it? I think I'd pay $100 for a jersey so emblazoned. I'm completely serious," said one e-mailer.

That particular "e-mailer" was me. I remember the thread from about 8 months back, or so.

I love the Washington Times, but I'm not sure I completely agree with the tone of the article.

I remember that in clamoring to buy such shirts, nearly everyone on that original thread merely wanted to demonstrate that they weren't thin-skinned enough to suffer shame from such sports team representations.

The kind of craziness represented by "white pride" really had very little to do with it.....

[WOSG]

Speaking of "white pride", what about "Right Pride"?
Would any team like to take up the name
"Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy" ?

[WOSG]

LOL, a guy named "Little Owl" wants *other folks* to think about name changing????

[HighWheeler]

Could we change the name of the Detroit Red Wings hockey team to the Detroit Right Wings?

[HighWheeler]

Thanks for saying that. It's nice to know the author can't interpret the tone of that joke thread, and instead wrongly intones that we are into white pride or other such nonsense.

[PLK]

Sheesh, I thought the people at the Times had a clue. OF COURSE we were mocking the whole idea. Hello???

Obviously those writers at the Times are not too with the program. What a disappointment.

[Bob J]

Like it or not, that post received a number of replies that could have been interpreted negatively. We KNOW the libs will utilize every opportunity to shut down debate by slinging mud on their opponents. It's a time tested and unfortunately, due to a media willing to "assist", successful censorship method.

[Texas Eagle]

How about The Rugged Individualists?

It doesn't exactly roll off the tongue but I know left-wing wackos hate that phrase.

[Michael2001]

Did they miss the point, or were they intentionally trying to defame FreeRepublic? I think the latter.

[88keys]

Hey, watch it, you ridge-runner!!!! ;)

And, wasn't it Rush that started all this? No mention of him, but it was hilarious! Definitely mocking the "PC"...
