"I'm out!!! Got out on the Orient Queen yesterday to Larnaca. Am now in Athens and will be in Chicago tonight. More then. Feel free to share this, as I don't have time to post yet. Got lots of pictures of the evacuation. And about half of the passengers WERE NOT U.S. Citizens!!! Lebanese nationals with Green cards and what all. My group were almost the ONLY people speaking English. It was sickening. MAKE THEM ALL PAY!!! They were treating it as a vacation cruise oblivious that their country is being destroyed. We were so mad we couldn't stand it. I'm still steaming . . . ."

Thanks for the ping. On another post he said he has pictures too.

I'm so relieved he's out of there.

Thanks for posting--I've been wondering how RY2 was doing. I'm hoping we'll soon see a good vanity from RY2, describing this and more.

But the selective media will never tell us this.

Welcome home, Rebel.

I'm sure there'll be an urgent "please return my call" message waiting for you from Larry King.

Powder up, man!

This freeper doesn't even think Rebel was ever in Lebanon.

You should see the outrageous lies being told about Rebel on this thread.

The day I start bashing a fellow freeper in a war zone is the day I leave Free Republic.

Yes, it is amazing the downright nasty comments. At least one person was banned for being so unnecessarily mean. If they don't believe RY2, fine, don't read the posts. This nastiness is really very unbecoming. But oh well, at least you know who your "friends" are.

Here is my note to self in case I am ever in RY2's position.

Good post, Chgogal. I guess FR isn't what I thought it was because I certainly never thought I'd see freepers treat a fellow freeper in a war zone the way Rebel was treated.

I don't even know who these people are. Disgraceful.

Thank heavens you got out safely! Now, I hope Homeland Security weeds any Hezbollah moles out of the herd!

Give it a rest, Peach. Or or you trying to get yet another Freeper banned?

What Freeper doesn't think he was really there?

And regarding your post about the nastiness of some who posted...

..You call them FReepers, but I know I don't need to remind you that we have thousands upon thousands of lurkers and posters here, and obviously there are more than a few rotten apples in the barrel....

..apples who should not be given the coveted name of Freeper.

They're just infiltrators/assassins/ambushers trying to muddy up this wonderful forum.

So what I'm saying is....don't cast a bad light on 'Freepers'...

..most genuine folk-(Freepers)- who post here are the kind of folk JimRob had in mind.

I guess you missed the part on that thread where someone said on the open forum they were hitting abuse on that freeper. And that banned freeper argued with the mods when the mod told him to stop.

You and truth can't exist in the same room. But feel free to continue to perpetuate your little lies.
