DUmmie FUnnies 01-20-05 ("Protesters pepper sprayed")

In this DUmmie THREAD titled, “WTF? Protesters(behind 10 ft. fence) pepper sprayed,” the denizens of DUmmieland actually act outraged that they are not free to pelt the President’s limo. They act like this “restriction” on their freedom to act like thugs is yet another sign of impending fascism. They are lucky. If it were up to me, the DUmmies would have been sprayed with ice cold water whenever they tossed anything at the presidential limousine. So let us now read of DUmmie outrage in Bolshevik Red and the commentary of your humble correspondent in the [brackets]:

WTF? Protesters(behind 10 ft. fence) pepper sprayed.

[An OUTRAGE…..until you consider the fact that those poor widdle protestors hurled projectiles at the Presidents limo.]

Bush....you Hitler you!!!

[True. Not allowing DUmmies to throw things at the presidential limo is most definitely a sign of fascism.]

The world is disgusted at a country which proclaims to "spread democracy" when that country manipulates/controls/abuses it own people.

[Abusing DUmmies by not allowing them to threaten the President. Shameful!]

"...after demonstrators threw objects over the fence at police ...." That's what happens when you do that. No sympathy from me-- at all.

[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]

Why not just grease them all? They're already penned in, you don't even have to chase 'em.

[That idea will definitely be taken under consideration.]

I'm abosolutely positive that the whole crowd there didn't throw objects. Yet they just pulled out the big pepper spray cannon and let loose on that entire area. And with wind a huge band of people can be caught in that.

[Hang out with jerks and you should expect the worst.]

I'm willing to wager that it wasn't the ones right up front close to the fence doing the throwing, yet they bore the brunt of the spray. Not cool.

[Tough luck. And I’ll bet the DUmmies not throwing anything were cheering on the DUmmies who were tossing projectiles.]

Throwing things at the presidential motorcade, and I don't care what it is, is inexcusable. No sympathy here either. People have a way of connecting acts like this to the whole Democratic party, and they don't need the media to do it for them, they do it on their own. Dumb move.

[Another act of self-marginalization by the DUmmies.]

OH BULLSHIT..it's looking like Sheriff Clarke in Alabama in the 60's you don't indiscriminately harm an entire crowd for the actions of a few

[Except that the rest of the crowd was encouraging the hurlers.]

Sorry, but it was crowd control. And they were throwing things. I saw that much on C-Span. If you go to protest, you know this can happen so you should be prepared. The police were trying to keep this from getting out of control.

[You make too much sense you LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]

Note to the protesters, if you don't want to be pepper sprayed, don't throw shit at cops.

[I repeat…LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]

Good rule of thumb: Don't throw things at the President. Actually, don't throw things at anyone. But if you throw things at the President, you are probably going to get your ass beat by someone.

[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]

I remember MLK constantly throwing eggs at Alabama state troopers.

[Martin Luther King throwing eggs at Alabama state troopers? Making up history now, are we?]

[kenth]

I guess you had to be a senator or otherwise in politics to attend.


BWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!

[Mike Fieschko]

So it was seared, seared into his memory, eh?

[stunned, disturbed silence] ... those ... were ... his ... very ... words.

[dr_pat]

the DUmmies admitted "Not a Damned Dime Day" flopped...

Yay! My anti-subversive spending spree this morning turned the tide, I'm sure! [grin]

...and I emptied my dime jar, used the rolls of dimes all day to leave tips...

[Mike Fieschko]

Is there any simpler way?

Yeah, don't use Word.

These FR threads should help:

HTML Sandbox

The HTML Campfire.

[DJ MacWoW]

Copying the address link and pasting it to Microsoft word, and then copying it from Microsoft Word and pasting it to the FreeRepublic message box, right? Is there any simpler way?

I don't go through all that. I just cut and paste the addy but to get a live link, you then can't use ANY html code in the message. Once you use HTML in any part of the post then you have to use it for the link too. Golly. That sounds clear as mud. ;-)

[speed_addiction]

[JLO]

Yes, it's a little simpler. You don't need to use Microsoft word as a middle point.

It's easiest to have more than one window open. To open a new window, right mouse click and there is that option.

Then you can click between browser windows. Cut here; paste there.

Clear as mud? Let me know if not clear, and I'll find some good directions.

[franksolich]

Thanks, Madam; I have that straight now, and it should be a piece of cake from now on.

It's just that in the common ordinary everyday average use of this computer, I never had to "link" before, so I never paid attention.

[Cindy]

Thank you PJ-Comix.

[Not A Snowbird]

Did you see the thread where the DUmmies admitted "Not a Damned Dime Day" flopped, sir?

I helped! I bought my lunch today instead of brown-bagging.

[franksolich]

By the way, Madam, were you ever a frequenter of the America On-Line "college football chat room"? The name rings a bell, a very courteous cultured lady from Florida, who managed to hold her own (I think she was a fan of Florida State, but it might have been Florida.....or Miami) against the usual barbarians who "chatted" in there.

I went about my normal business...filled my gas tank...ate at a restaurant for lunch...

mmmmm...delivery pizza sounds good right about now. And there's still time to buy something online!

I remember MLK constantly throwing eggs at Alabama state troopers.

False. He/She/It made this up out of whole cloth. Or, maybe this person was on an acid trip when he/she/it was watching that.

Real men don't whine.

"Once you use HTML in any part of the post then you have to use it for the link too. Golly. That sounds clear as mud. ;-)"

Hey, thanks for saying that. What's the quick html code to hotlink a URL, once I've already used html, like say adding a photo?

I mentioned earlier, I know a teensie bit of html. I have a word document with my notes of what I want to do (pics, colored fonts, font sizes, etc.), but I'd appreciate the code only for the hotlinking a link. Thanks, in advance.

[Feiny]

I was thinking the same thing....maybe they are starting to come to their senses....nah, they never had any. At least there were a few that knew it was bad to throw things at the President...it's a start.

[JLO]

Good, piece of cake - happy to hear it. We all learn something new every day, don't we, I hope? LOL

[Ex-Dem]

Are you asking about the HTML tag for hyperlinks? I've never heard of a "hotlink", other than in the context of a tasty sausage :). Here's how to do a hyperlink:

<a href="URL ADDRESS HERE">some descriptive text here</a>

"I remember MLK constantly throwing eggs at Alabama state troopers. "

If MLK had done that---his civil rights career would have been even shorter than it was.

[JLO]

LOL - please don't call me madam - unless you know for sure that I'm really an old fart, ok?

Nope, I've never been on AOL, let alone in a football chat room! My latest knowledge of football was watching the Randy Moss pretend moon, LOL.

And speaking of mooning, in your visit to DU today, did anyone say anyone mooned when they did their 'turnyourbackonbush' stunt? I was cheering for our side to have pepper spray at the ready if they saw any mooning.

Looks by the photos in this thread, cops didn't wait! LOL!!

[luvie]

Good DUFU tonight. BTW--I watched about 5 seconds of the protesters on C-SPAN, and the DUmmies look EXACTLY like I imagined that they would. A bunch of clueless-looking DUFUses! Pasty-faced, like they just left their ivory tower for the few minutes of "fame" they have gotten on this misbegotten channel!!
