Is there a key to spotting a Freeper
on the Hannity website.
I have been trying to compare freepers in their website to to those who inhabit the Hannity lemming cave. I am not sure if these are the same people or is one group more outlandish than the other?

8. There's a million...
The simplest and most obvious one though, is that they will always replace the word "loser" with "looser."

No one knows why.

Bad genetics; that's my guess.

In my studies I've found a great deal of them are mouth breathers. I haven't been able to prove my thesis, but I'm getting close.

33. He was just being obnoxious and obvious
you didn't miss much. I don't know why it is deleted, he wasn't vulgar, he just is misinformed. I would say he was very young.

16. I think all these suggestions are good! A question for you:
How in the world do you have the time to browse 2 right-wing discussion boards besides our fine one? Is there a way that can help us, when you find the similarities/differences? Just wondering!

20. Are you compiling a list of what not to do if you want to be
a successful Stealth Freep.

Their moronic blind patriotism
My country right or wrong & excessively slanted foreheads
always give them away.

23. They always pretend they've never heard the term
And then so on about how close minded people here are, and talk about their being able to make up their own minds.








Oh, And they prefer beer to liberty.


You'll probably see one sooner or later.

26. They think everybody's gay (except Rush)
Whether they are or not. They are totally fixated on buttholes, they hate blacks, gays, women, children, they love fetuses, they hate taxes, they're misinformed about everything (Rush and Fox News)they can't spell, they have flags on their SUV's, they're selfish, greedy and immature, they love guns AND they're CHRISTIANS. :)

27. They write posts like #17 here
You know, full of untruths and generalizations. They don't understand irony or sarcasm at all. That requires intelligence. They don't recognize their own constant states of ignorance, hypocrisy, and denial. They project how they feel and act onto others. Whenever a Freeper proclaims the devious intentions of others, you can be certain he has those same intentions only moreso. As in Bush* saying "Gore will do anything to win".
