The Average Freeper Is NOT A Terrorist

[WeDidIt]

You've got to realize, they're so scared of anything and everything they station "guards" outside "porta-potties" for their Freeper rallies.

99.9% of them are all talk and no action.

You gotta watch out for that last 1/10th of a percent, though...

[MineralMan]

1. You're probably right. Most are just dupes.

Or is that dopes? I'm never sure.

[EFerrari]

2. People who act out violence are a small group.

And they are supported and empowered by the rest of the group.

[MercutioATC]

3. ...as is the case with any large group of people...

...and they have the disadvantage of attracting a particularly ignorant, intolerant user profile.

[get the red out]

4. Cheerleaders

Of course not, everyone can't be on the actual team, you have to have some devoted cheerleaders.

[theHandpuppet]

22. Not only that, you have to have people who contribute money...

... and others who can make a living by tapping in to an audience with an insatiable appetite for hate. The head cheerleaders at Faux News, for example.

[kestrel91316]

5. The average Freeper enthusiastically supports RW terrorism, however.

Hang them all and ask questions later.

[Beaverhausen]

12. exactly. They applauded the murder of Dr. Tiller

[walldude]

17. Hang them all....

Good plan. :eyes:

[JuniperLea]

23. Ugh... and you don't see how that comment is no better than...

Any of those commonly found in FreeperVille? Really?

You might have just become what you hate.

[kestrel91316]

27. They hanged all the Nazis after Nuremberg. I believe there is a time

and place for the death penalty. Trying to drive the US toward Rwandan or Nazi style genocide just might be one of those times.

I want punishment for the real crime here, which is the overt and covert support behind these thugs.

[armyowalgreens]

33. Listen

The RTLM literally called for Tutsis to be slaughtered in the streets. They spent months conditioning the Hutu population to view Tutsis as "cockroaches" and blamed the assassination of the president on Tutsis to gain support. The Nazis literally executed people in the streets and spent years dehumanizing entire populations of people.

The freepers are a bunch of fatass know nothings with a chip on their shoulder. The vast majority of them are harmless.

Get a fucking clue.

[JuniperLea]

36. You cannot be serious...

That is about as disgusting a thing as I've ever read at DU. Really. Truly disgusting. Not just because I abhor the death penalty either... the "hang 'em all and let God sort them out" mentality is really despicable.

[RandomKoolzip]

29. "Hang them all?!" What the fuck is wrong with you?

:eyes:

Damn hypocrite.

[armyowalgreens]

32. uhhh you sound exactly like a freeper to me.

kill them all and ask questions later? Yeah okay Cheney.

[KingFlorez]

6. They just hope someone else will do what they are too scared to do

That is what makes them scary, they say things that egg on the crazy elements to do their hateful work.

[BOSSHOG]

7. Sounds like your talking about those who hind behind right wing radio microphones

[KingFlorez]

8. It applies to them too

[villager]

9. The average Freeper is a good German.

n/t

[LynneSin]

10. Problem is - that's 2 more terrorists then what they have found here posting at DU

:scared:

[NoPasaran]

16. Three more, isn't it?

Wasn't there some FR moran mailing anthrax or something like that a couple of years ago?

[chat_noir]

25. Chad Castagana and Tyler Froatz - both convicted

Castagana posted as marc costanza - mailed "anthrax" letters to Olbermann, etc.

Froatz posted at TFroatz

WASHINGTON (Map, News) - A D.C. Superior Court judge refused on Friday to offer bail to the man police say brought a rifle and two knives to a counter protest of an immigration rally on May 1.

Tyler Froatz II, an Eagle scout and District resident for the past 18 months, will be held in police custody until a May 17 court date after Judge John Hess expressed concern over whether Froatz posed a threat to the area.

Police say that on Tuesday, Froatz, was counter protesting at an immigration rally in Meridian Hill Park when he became embroiled in a fight with immigration rally organizer. According to police, Froatz bent the organizer's left arm and scratched her hand, before leaving the area to don dark camouflage clothing. Police arrived and arrested Froatz and found a host of weapons on him including a hammer, taser, and a loaded flare gun. In addition, Detective Robert Freeman of the U.S. Park Police testified that Froatz was carrying two knives including a "12 inch dagger-style knife."

A search of Froatz's nearby Jeep recovered a loaded M-1 rifle and ammunition. A map of a local embassy and a detailed, hand-drawn sketch of the park with lines pointing towards the center of the protest was found in the front seat of the Jeep, Freeman said.

Kristinn Taylor, a friend of Froatz who attended the hearing, expressed shock that the "nonthreatening," and chatty 24-year-old could hurt anyone.

"Like a lot of people who feel strongly about the immigration issue, he was out protesting," Taylor said, who added Froatz was not working for Free Republic during his protest.

"He didn't say anything about killing illegals or nothing like that."

35. Donald Matthews aka Matsuidon was a cop killer

Aug. 9, 2002

Years before he murdered Eric Taylor, Donald Matthews was an ardent Ohio "constitutionalist" who had openly expressed his hatred of police officers — a rage against government and law enforcement that he boldly stated on several occasions he would be willing to kill and die for.

Matthews, a so-called "sovereign citizen*," was president of a group calling itself the National Constitutional Academy. He said he had memorized the Bible and the Constitution, and he refused to have his picture taken or put on a seat belt.

On Aug. 9, 2002, at around 8:30 p.m., Matthews was doing 72 in a 60 mph zone when a state trooper pulled him over. He refused to roll down his window more than a slight crack, and launched into a tirade on 13th Amendment rights before speeding off and leading law enforcement officers on a 12-mile chase that ended in the town of Massillon. There, Matthews' leaped out of his vehicle as it traversed a gravel pit and opened fire with a Czechoslovakian CZ-762x25 semi-automatic military handgun. Eric Taylor, a Massillon police officer who had joined a brief foot chase, was shot by Matthews in the pancreas, aorta, heart and lungs before Matthews was himself fatally wounded by other officers' fire.

[That Is Quite Enough]

11. Agreed. The majority are keyboard commandos, but they have their share of violent ones.

[earth mom]

13. No. Freepers ideas and attitudes are so fringe and off the wall that they themselves

are terrifying.

I don't think it would take much for any of them to go off the deep end.

[mitchum]

14. Apparently you have never seen them lay to waste a bag of Cheetos

[Doctor_J]

15. Free Republic, like the GOP, has purged itself of moderates and sane people

no one who reads that shit daily can be of sound mind.

[Ikonoklast]

18. Most Germans weren't Nazis, either.

Just cheered them from the sidelines.

[OneGrassRoot]

19. Heads up for FR trolls trying to discredit DU. They're cowards...

when it comes to online warfare (as they see it).

They're EVERYWHERE here today. Starting threads to reflect poorly on DU, linking and distorting and disrupting in myriad ways.

:mad:

Try not to feed them. ;)

[Hugabear]

20. No, but they sure as fuck enable terrorism

What with all their "stop abortion AT ANY COST", their non-stop diatribes against minorities; it's no wonder that a few of them decide to take action. And some of their anti-Obama sentiments are truly quite scary.

[Dappleganger]

21. So, who is responsible?

The ones who started the fire and fanned the flames in the forest?
The ones who stand and watch the burning embers escape, wondering if they will go out on their own?
Or the ones who grabbed a burning log and threw it at the trees?

[scheming daemons]

24. Most freepers are WAY below "average", though....

That's why they're freepers.

[kjackson227]

26. This may be true, but for the "average" ones to allow the crazies...

to spew their hate-filled rhetoric without calling them on it, makes them just as guilty. IMHO

[Soylent Brice]

28. aren't they the same fuckers claiming Obama of guilty by association though?

[armyowalgreens]

34. So do we stoop to their level of stupidity?

[Soylent Brice]

37. no. my alter ego just happens to be...

[The Straight Story]

30. Not all who practice islam fly planes into buildings or commit suicide bombings either

And we DU are usually careful about blaming a whole group for the actions of some members of a group....

[Xenotime]

31. Wanna bet?
