How many have posted at freerepublic.com and have been removed
or are able to get your points across by shrewdness. Because there have been posts at DU that make me wonder about the political leanings of the writers. I know that freepers are lurking here. How many of us post there? I was considering it just for fun.

1. I posted there.
I posted many posts there. I sometimes got into actual discussions there. I'm a leftist, without a doubt. But there were, at one time, some rightists there who recognized that neo-conservatism is the antithesis of traditional conservatism.

2. I wouldn't go there if you hogtied me in front of my computer
Though I will confess that occasionally I do click on links provided by DUers, but seldom more than that. I get out of that Nazi Place immediately.

I even missed my apparent (I still haven't seen the link, so I am not 100% certain) ranking as #10 on the Freepers' Most Hated DUers list.

Fuck those monsters. We are dealing with Kinder and Gentler nazis, and cowards, too.

Only one way to deal with a Nazi. When they feel comfortable enough to start Night Riding and the Nationalized Neighborhood Watch, then we shall see...

4. I had a nice conversation going a while ago
About Santorum. I posted under my user name here. I got busted and banned a while later, but I never made a secret about my politics.

I got banned when I became a little sarcastic in another subject:

7. I made ONE post there. No text, just a link to a Boston Globe article
about Kerry's military service, in response to freepheads trashing his service. Post removed, account banned.

A lot of the "non-Dems" lurk pretty openly here. As long as they don't come right out and say "Dems/Kerry sucks! Bush rules!" they keep posting obvious RW talking points. They are obvious. I don't know what they hope to accomplish even if they get to 1000 posts that way. Do they feel that at that point they get to say whatever they want on the board?

9. I've been banned from
freeping three times. It's so hard to talk to those people because they are stark raving mad. They live by the double standard -- if Bush and the GOP do it, it's wonderful, but if a Democrat does it, it's treason or some ridiculous charge.

My favorite banning was when Bush was going to Japan, and I said, sincerely with the best of intentions, that I hoped he didn't vomit on the Prime Minister like Poppy did. Ooops.

10. Some freeper over there claimed to have over 1000 posts
on DU. His/Her name was something like "clintons are white trash" or "clinton is white trash" or similar to that.

I have not signed up with them but sometimes read what they are posting. Some real sick m*ther f*ckers over there. I don't know what planet they come. They should all give themselves the Darwin award (hopefully before the start breeding).

16. Believe it.
There are freepers here with over 1000 posts. They think they are flying under the radar, and that they will someday dramatically reveal themselves (to our great chagrin and despair), but we already have them figured out.

The nice thing about us is that, if they play by the rules, we'll talk to them. Perhaps we'll even change their tiny little minds! :)

11. I went there and posted this question:
"Who here has seen F911, and if so do you think it's possible that Bush really is such an evil, stupid monster as Moore says he is?"

(just kidding)

12. I have posted several questions
I always pretended to be a confused Conservative questioning the latest contradiction or hypocrisy.

The final straw was when I asked how Conservatives could preach about abortion laws and smaller government at the same time.

I asked who they would want to administer and enforce the prohibition.

That got me banned.

Just to piss them off I pretended to be 18 and excited about voting for the first time this year.

The last one was particularly stupid on their part because I was warning them about a gun issue.

17. And all I did was . . .
was offer to sell the autographed copy of Ollie North's book that I received as a gag gift! There was one response -- calling both Ollie and I "traitors"!

Then I was banned!

And I thought the asshole/felon was a Repuke hero!

That sounds like a major challenge. Just think how honed your debating skills will become if you can close your mind so well, no one would recognize your core beliefs...

Yeah, Bush and Dick are from dirt poor backgrounds.

37. I guess it's ok for
Bush and Cheney to be rich because they don't claim to be for the average American. Freeper thinking. At least Bush and Cheney admit they don't give a shit about the little guy! I actually heard a neo-con talk radio guy (Mike Rosen in Denver) admit that he's not for the Underdog, he's for the overdog! You know because when the overdog does well it "trickles down to the underdog". :shrug:

I stumbled across the board and couldn't believe what they were saying, so I posted as such. I can't stomach even lurking there for the ignorance now.
