Freepers betrayed! Massive meltdown at FR over Rush's apology

right now there is a high level of hysteria and despair over at freeperville.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2854188/posts

***

some highlights:

#5 is a real gem:

"Rush betrayed us. He lost me today. I’ve listened and been informed since 1991. Rush was by far our most influential advocate, until now. Today, we lost the election, and the country. Very, very disappointed."

#12

"Instead, what he (Limbaugh) did was tell us to put the gun in our mouths and pull the trigger."

#13

"Et tu, Rush? I feel like I've been stabbed in the heart by my best friend. Didn't think I'd ever see the Day Rush would loose (sic) his spine. Listener from 1990."[

***

and it goes on and on for over 300 posts and counting!! Are all their meltdowns this dramatic?

When Limbaugh bounced in masturbatory rhythm while demanding the young woman appear in on-line sex videos, the Republican Party lost the election. And all for him to feel the tip of his penis rubbing the swell of his own belly....

OMG there are just too many "best things" happening in the political echo chamber right now. It's like a non-stop Republican circular firing squad, with a touch of Monty Python's "only a flesh wound" Black Knight.

It is no wonder they feel betrayed. How will the know what a slut is or a Kenyan for that matter.
If Rush says so then it is safe to go their. They have a path to follow, a guiding dark if you will.
You relay don't expect them to look at something for themselves, do you.
This must be horrible for them as just last week they lost another happy warier.
Poor lost wolverines.

He made his name tearing down the Clintons, Kennedys and other prominant Democrats and now trying to do the same with President Obama. He failed when he took on a private citizen...especially a young woman. He finally exposed himself for the cowardly bully he's always been.

He shot down. After unloading on an unsuspecting woman.

Nobody over there even realizes she testified about instances of purely MEDICAL needs for contraceptive medications. The whole thing about her having lots of sex is just made up.

He failed his mantra, AND exposed his MO.

The problem of living in the bubble...Rushbo believed he had bullied all of his critics and that any attempt to attack him would be met with a large shitstorm from his supporters. At first it happened and he doubled down...and then doubled down a third time. He's made his career on creating cartoon characters of his victims and this time it didn't work. He went one bridge too far.

That said you're still hearing more crickets than condemnation or support from the great unhinged (except for freeperland)...this latest bombast has done some damage but I'm not sure how deep or long lasting.

Rush was never about his movement or his listeners. It was all about the $$$$. He'd screw his dead mother if he thought he could make a few dollars. These repukkes think he actually cared about them? I think not. He is totally self-obsessed which is the GOP mantra....wealth to the wealthy and to the rest of you "F... off"!!!!

I can't really figure these people out...are they anti-sex? Are they all in monogamous marriages or virgins if not married? A very heavy theme of Puritanism running through this thread.
But, as usual, not a lot of coherent thoughts or cogent rebuttals. Just tut-tutting her "slutty" behavior. I wish I could post there and ask them, speaking of honorable people, lets talk about Rush and

* his 4 wives (contraception or impotence?)
* his vacation to the DR with the illegal Viagra
* using human mules to score his oxycotin to deal with his narcotics habit
* when was the last time he was in a church?

OK,,,back to FR and my favorite comment on the thread...just because it's so well written

To: Psycho_Bunny

I agree Their aint no reason to apologize, if this woman is haveing that much unweded sex to merit a 3000 dollar bill she is a slut in my book end of story.

Apparently this woman never heard of the concept abstance and as a result she actually has the audacity to insist that WE pay not only for her careless sex but for the killing that takes place so that she can avoid the Natural function of that sex.

Ms. Fluke is a truly discussing woman, much worse than a common slut. It is not her who deserves an abolish but sluts everywhere who deserve an apologize for scum like her being grouped among them.

Rush should NOT black down, nobody should back down. This woman is at the very least an irresponsible parasite that not only forces her unborn children to bare the consequence of HER choice but actually expects the rest of us to do so as well! Could she get more reprehensible?

I must be a discussing person too, as I never heard of this 'abstance' concept, either. Don't black down, Rush!

"Ms. Fluke is a discussing woman"...like when she discusses the medical needs for contraception in her testimony.

"if this woman is haveing that much unweded sex to merit a 3000 dollar bill"...so if she were wedded, $3K is fine?

"the killing that takes place so that she can avoid the Natural function of that sex"...if you capitalize "Natural", I think "Function" should also be capitalized...but maybe that's just my book learnin.

"Rush should not black down"...Rush wants to keep black down, he is "The Man".

They can only agree with whatever Rush tells them. Obviously, the typical FReeper is also a dittohead. The difference being, they commit their reflected thoughts to posts for public consumption.

seeing Freeper garbage from formerly "normal" people I actually went to high school with and who used to be reasonable. One guy, with whom I worked in a hospital setting, and who has a precious little girl out of wedlock, actually attacked Fluke today a la Limbaugh, and his Avatar is a picture of his little girl. It's a sickness.
