Wonkette: Free Republic Gives Up and DIES
http://www.wonkette.com/politics/midterms/free-republic-gives-up--dies-213217.php

With the Burns/Tester and Macaca/Webb final results a few hours or months away, we thought it was time to take a look at our favorite conservative Message Board and gauge the response.

We speak of Free Republic, of course. This particular editor has been a Freeper Fan for 10 years and even attended some of their marches at the U.S. Capitol — OK, I walked by a few of their protests, by accident.

(Wonkette then lists some of the posts — the two best):

* OBL has won, who would have imagined that the MSM/DNC would succeed in giving Saddam and Sons, OBL, Bill Maher, Keith Olberman, and John Kerry a victory. We have no choice now, the commie vampire media must be destroyed.

* AGREEING WITH YOU 100% I GUESS WHEN YOU HAVE PEOPLE BLAMING BUSH FOR EVERYTHING FROM FUNGUS ON THERE TOE TO THE MOON NOT BEING FULL ON HALLOWEEN I GUESS YOU GET VOTERS WHO JUST ARE NOT THINKING. OH WELL THEY GOT WHAT THEY WANTED AND I AM SURE THE RADICALS ARE PASSING OUT THE CANDY LET’S SEE WHAT MS PELOSI CAN DO TO BRING AMERICA TOGETHER OH I AM SORRY I FORGOT THEY ARE GOING TO BE SO BUSY IMPEACHING OR TRYING TO IMPEACH BUSH THEY WILL FORGET WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO HARM OUR WAY OF LIFE WILL YOU VOTERS WANTED IT YOU GOT IT LET’S SEE HOW THE DEMS HANDLE IT THEY HAVE GOT 2YEARS

4. To all Freepers: The American people have spoken. NOW LIVE WITH IT!!!!!
Edited on Wed Nov-08-06 04:02 PM by KrazyKat
DEAL WITH IT!!!! GET OVER IT!!!!!

I've been waiting for ***SIX*** years to say that! :)

On edit: And, the American people have spoken not from just one city, or state, or geographic location. They have spoken loudly and clearly and in unison from all over the nation. They've had it with a phoney endless war and all the cronyism. They're finally interested in having a government that exhibits some plain common sense! :grr:

Or it's just the sound and fury of an idiot, signifying nothing.

28. Freeper admits Bush is using military as bait ...

"Those DUmmies who want us out of Iraq, will find out Bush was right. The terrorists will come here to kill us. They are in Iraq cause we are, once we're gone, they will be here, all they want is all of us DEAD!"

I don't think this moran even realizes what he/she/it said. Of course that explains a lot.

Cheers

And still, regardless of what could happen, its still going on Shrubs watch.
