[Coop]

One more thing, Coop has rightly pointed out that the bumping on these threads have been woefully inadequate.

That's the polite translation.

Last week I posted a thread about the Freedom Walk in D.C. Two previous threads on this critical remembrance and morale-boosting event got a whopping 300 or so FR views combined. I posted the same info with an absurd title about naked models and genitals. As of this morning that one thread has 9,370 views.

Last week I also specifically requested that many of you to at least bump our Walter Reed thread if you could not attend our event. One, maybe two people, granted that request. How pathetic is that? A group of us is out there trying to support our uniformed personnel who have given so much, and we can't even be bothered to take five seconds to bump a thread and give it some exposure?!?

One lady flew all the way from Texas JUST TO STAND WITH US outside of Walter Reed, and then she flew back the next morning! God bless her for going above and beyond for our troops. That's a bit more of a time & financial commitment than a bump or a few evening hours for the locals.

Am I offending some of you? I certainly hope so. It's absolutely pathetic that so many supposed conservatives around here can't even be bothered to bump a thread, much less drag themselves off the couch to attend a "support the troops" rally! And don't give me that "...but we all have jobs and families..." crap. It's a cop-out. Most of the freaks demoralizing and mocking our troops have jobs and "families," too.

If I have offended some of you out there, please publicly chastise me. At least it will serve as a bump for the troops. < / rant >

You're right to be frustrated & po'd.

BUMP !

I'm still digging out from my neglect of the house all summer - I'm too tired to get any work done on Saturdays after putting in a 20-hr day on Friday - but I'll be back for the Support the Troops weekend.

the dc chapter's inspiration and proliferation of this country's dedication to the men and women of this great nation fighting despots to tarnation and bringing millions of people liberation needs no explanation as the left's decimation let us join in anticipation the total and complete annihilation of code pink's attempt at segregation of our country's respect and honoration of the soldiers we are most debted to...

dc chapter rules! (dc stands for destroying commies)

OH MY GOSH ... I meant to yell at you Friday night for pinging me to trashy threads!!! I never clicked it to see what it was. I thought you were just some pervert disguised as a troop supporter. LOL!

Here's a bump!

[Deetes]

Amen , bump. bump bump.

[Our man in washington]

Coop, I am offended and won't even justify your posting with a bump.

Oops, I just did.

And I'm totally kidding, Coop! Great post!

[EmilyGeiger]

Do you think one of you could ping the Day in the Life freepers to this thread? What this group of people do is very important and they are wanting the thread to be continually bumped in order to get a good crowd on Friday. Thank you. :)

[patton]

well, exscuse me! I was in Boston!

[BOBTHENAILER]

I'll try to fly in this friday and participate, secretary checking on airlines now. Can somebody give a nearby hotel to get reservations?

[Apple Blossom]

Go Coop! BIG BUMP!

[bmwcyle]

FR = bravery behind the keyboard. I hear tuff talk here but I've been doing this since 1998. Some I have never seen on the streets where the real fight exists.

[Allegra]

Am I offending some of you?

Just a tad. The implications are a bit presumptuous and insulting...

But kudos to all of you who participated in this.

[SevenMinusOne]

Coop - Keep up the great work, you are part of a great service -

I myself, have been out of town quite a bit lately -

[bluesagewoman]

Bump!

Thanks for countering those guys.

[Shazolene]

Here's an extra BUMP since I was one of the 9000+ who couldn't resist that wierd title you refer to...
Honestly, it wasn't from titillation, only curiosity!
right??? :-)
BTTT

I'm guilty of being a bad thread-bumper. I'll make a special effort over the next week.

[Coop]

I didn't bother to count (too depressing), but a couple of days ago I probably pinged about 45 folks requesting a bump. I'll be surprised if a quarter of them bothered to respond. (And before someone says "Oh, your mean tone probably turned them off!," this was still the most successful bump request for the troops I've ever had - unfortunately.)

As we approach the 7th anniversary of FR's March for Justice, it stuns me how few people around here today really give a damn.

Thank God for those that do! Our troops and their families deserve all the support they can get.
