Has anyone braved the waters at Free Republic to see what they are saying about Romney?

[diabeticman]

are they pushing the fox "NEWS" view point that this is edit and are siding with Romney OR are they upset by Romney's words?

[MrSlayer]

1. Haven't been there but I know they're backing him.

He wasn't talking about them you know, he was talking about all those lazy ni**ers that are gaming the system. They think everyone knows that and they agree.

[Smilo]

3. Yep, it doesn't apply to any of the freepers

so what he said is (a) correct because they are not "them" and (b) correct - because "Fox tells them so".

[fun n serious]

2. Yes.

The only thing they are saying is how it was illegal under florida law to record a private event. LOL. I registered under JustOregon and replied.. Well it doesn't matter now becuase Romeny asked for the tape to be released in its entirety and looks like it is. Then I got th is message that said your post is up for "review" ????

[Kalidurga]

9. ooooooooooooh you are going to get zotted or what ever it is they do to librul spies. nt

[pinboy3niner]

29. ...

[Kalidurga]

42. lol so that is what a freeper spy looks like.

It's been years since I have lurked there for laughs. They started getting really scary around 2008, but any way. I remember the term, not sure I got the context right though.

[pinboy3niner]

43. I think you got it right

The origin of the term supposedly comes from their fondness for the late cartoonist Johnny Hart, a fellow conservative. They adopted his anteater's "zot" to represent the banning of a poster.

[Kalidurga]

44. LOL I used to like that cartoon.

Maybe Johnny Hart was an Eisenhower conservative. I hope so. I hope he would look at Republicans today and declare himself a Democrat or Liberal. But, who knows and I am not going to check, he could be one of those old time cranky types that also have always been with us that are all like hey I got mine go eat dirt to people less fortunate.

[fun n serious]

46. They spy on us too..

Here is their message to me...

Your posting privilege has been revoked.

Reason:
It’s all fun n serious until someone gets the zot.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay

[lastlib]

13. yowser--RimJob not happy wit chou!...

[fun n serious]

15. Oh I'll be banned, if I'm not already.

1 post banned. LOL

[calimary]

20. Taking one for the team! Welcome to DU!

At work already, I see!

Glad to have you here! We need you!!!!!

Let's win this thing and send wrongney back to wherever it is he came from - whichever state he claims as his home state this week.

[Spirochete]

21. We've all done that

Sign up on there, write one post taunting the freepers, and get banned. Gives them something to do.

[Sheepshank]

40. I made it to 4 posts...my favorite number :) n/t

[catbyte]

28. Interesting that they weren't concerned about legalities when ACORN was

illegally taped by that Ichabod Crane-looking punk whose name escapes me right now. As The Mittster says, "What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander."

[Tsiyu]

33. "Ichabod Crane - looking punk whose name escapes me right now"

lololol perfect!

I was trying to think of his name yesterday for some reason, and couldn't remember it. Which made me laugh.

Guess his fifteen minutes done gone and left him with no Name Recognition....


And great point, BTW, about the legalities of taping......... IOKIYAR, remember

[fun n serious]

4. They are really busy..

Discussing how they think Obama is gay and posting stupid pictures. These people are sick and hate filled.

[Posteritatis]

5. Huh, I thought defending Romney was verboten on FR these days. (nt)

[hifiguy]

6. It was until it wasn't.

[Posteritatis]

10. Such adamantine stability, that site's admin has... (nt)

[XemaSab]

16. They were against Romney before they were for him?

[LadyHawkAZ]

41. They know a kindred spirit when they see one

[aletier_v]

7. They're in denial

Not much discussion about the video, many other extraneous articles about Obama being gay, etc, etc.

[grasswire]

8. yes

They don't believe the polls.

Romney got a big boost with his video speech -- they loved it, and they loved even more the fact that he did not apologize.

There are a few realists over there. But most are in complete denial.

Their biggest fear is that after the election, food stamps will be cut off and hordes of "hip hop urban gangs" will come streaming into the suburbs for mass rapes and looting. Seriously.

And many of them are "prepping" for survivalism.

[cali]

19. yep. that about sums it up.

[hoboken123]

37. Let me fix that for you

Their biggest dream is that after the election, food stamps will be cut off and hordes of "hip hop urban gangs" will come streaming into the suburbs for mass rapes and looting.

Whenever there's a shooting, there's post after post about how they would've been ready for it.

After a church shooting, there was an ongoing discussion about how they were always armed at church anyway, just in case.

[Liberal_in_LA]

39. Right wing radio guy - Mitts 47% comments apply to "inner city" only

[davidn3600]

11. They aren't upset because they think he's right

They really think 47% of the country are deadbeats.

[truebluegreen]

12. Exacty...

but of course none of them are members of the 47%, it's all those other people.

[calimary]

22. Welcome to DU truebluegreen and davidn3600!

Glad you're both here! We need you! More than ever, because now we can all easily see how much more critically important it is - to keep wrongney OUT of the White House!






Now get to work.

[truebluegreen]

25. Thank you!

[Indpndnt]

14. They're not in the 47%, dontcha know?

[Monk06]

17. Romney has gone on record supporting what he said on the video so any editing is a red herring.

He said what he said and stands by it. So does Ryan and so do the denizens of Fuckyou Republic.

[B Calm]

18. They're still rooting for Herman Cain, but only

if Donald Trump decides not to run.

[calimary]

23. Welcome to DU, diabeticman!

Glad to have you here! There are always a few really brave and stalwart souls here who venture over to that flaming steaming Hell so the rest of us don't have to.

Bless them! And bless you for joining us! We've got to make sure wrongney never gets near the White House!





Now get to work.

[DiverDave]

24. I found this site so I dont have

to muddy my beautiful mind with that crap:

http://vikingkitties.blogspot.com/

Works for me...

[Surya Gayatri]

30. Hey, thanks for the link. Freeper madness distilled down

to its insane essence. Avoids us going there and upping their traffic.

[closeupready]

26. Who cares.

nt

[BeyondGeography]

27. They're finally starting to like the guy

One can't fault their instincts. These people know a winner when they see one.

[B Calm]

32. These people know a winner when they see one.

SOB ain't that the truth, LOL!!

[sofa king]

31. They are soooo close to being our temporary friends.

My overall impression of conservatives lately is one of resignation and bitterness. But they lack the outrage and lust for vengeance that they should have.

See, not only is Romney an asshole and not their guy at all, but nearly every damned Republican in Congress voted to raise their taxes by an average $1600 next year, by holding the middle class tax cut extension vote hostage again, and dooming all of the Bush tax cuts to expiration in January. They're going to pay dearly, in taxes, to vote Republican.

It's starting to dawn on them that they are being duped by some very wealthy people whose interests do not coincide with their own. But they aren't truly pissed off about it yet because they simply know nothing about the paragraph above, even though it's all out there to read.

There is something they could easily do about it if they really were pissed off, which is to go out on Election Day and vote for every Democrat on the ballot. If they can flip the House and deliver a supermajority of Democrats to the Senate, then they get their tax cuts back and can spend the next two years building a party of their own that isn't being dragged around by the uber-rich. If they're so against President Obama that voting for him is impossible, they could write in the candidate of their choice and go all-D on the downticket items.

They could fuck over Romney, protest the President, and pay themselves all at the same time.

But they have to figure that out on their own, and they won't, because the media sources which feed them their information are actively keeping the information they need away from them. They still have no idea the GOP fucked 'em over this.

If one of us tries to tell them, they will automatically believe the bullshit they're told even more. (No, really! It's called the backfire effect.)

So instead we have to sit here and watch the poor bastards stew in their own ill will, when if they would jump the aisle just this one time they could improve everyone's lives at a net profit to themselves. Heartbreaking.

[randome]

34. I think the Democratic party will gain a lot more in numbers because of Romney.

We should welcome any and all into the ranks of a winning party!

[Tsiyu]

36. Great post

Pride is a painful master.

They shill for the people robbing them blind, but they are sooooo valient about it, it's hard to let go of that heroic delusion of grandeur, that raw power in being a hateful white person who is better than anything in the Universe.

They could never cast their lot with the lesser beings, who don't have their manliness, their valor, their superior Aryan DNA.

So, rather than join with ( to them the dregs of ) society to make it better, they're hoarding turnips and Vienna Sausages and hollow point bullets for when Food Stamps end.

A Manly Plan!

[One_Life_To_Give]

35. What? Rimjob didn't have a meltdown

What? Rimjob didn't have a meltdown over that Commie-Pinko-Gay loving pervert being nominated?

[grasswire]

38. he did

But he got over it. Romney is hated, but he's not black.

[rainbow4321]

45. They think the debates will save him

First, OMG, trying to navigate over there gives me a headache...and apparently all out verbal, personal attacks to each other are the norm over there..geez, it is 90% of trashing EACH OTHER over and over.

But, yeah, it's all "don't worry, once the debates take place, he will prevail and win" the election.

On edit: Oh, any on Florida showing any kind of leaning towards POTUS, they are blaming on the "liberal snow birds" who have now moved down there for the winter season.
