[Seattle-editorial] imperialist spam/ HOT TOPIC 4 sure

[anarch3m]

Judy, have you ever looked at the Free Republic (freeper) site?  these rabid dogs will do the same to one of "their own" given the least sign of ideological weakness........

As well as featuring the topic of recruiting activism, we should consider a finger in the face of the freepers at the same time.  But only if were willing to respond to more of the same juvenile trash---hey, maybe just documenting it would be a great coup?

They certainly dont seem to be calling for a rational dialogue.  And some, perhaps on the other side or pretendingly on it are a bit high on the testosterone response scale too
