Wow, this is just great. Freepers love us now.

[KonaKane]

A "craigslist-ing" pal from Nevada just sent me this:

We love the idiots at dumbocratic underground dot com! - (Free Republic)

------------------------

I just wanted to drop in on you liberal numbnuts and say, I've been reading your forum and wanted to say thank you A TON for taking your boy Obama apart bone by bone over the BP oil spill! We appreciate that you finally got it about the Kenyan socialist. Nice to have you on board! HAHAHAHAHA!!.

http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/rnr/1758170049.html

Fanfuckingtastic. So remind me, in a circular firing squad, where do they all aim again? At the head, heart, or foot?

[mikelgb]

1. fail

try again

[MadHound]

2. So we shouldn't criticize a president over his mishandling of a huge disaster

Just because it means we get laughed at by the idiots over at FR? Sorry, don't buy it, don't do lockstep, call 'em as I see 'em.

If Obama doesn't want such widespread criticism, perhaps he should start doing the right thing rather than leaving the Gulf to the tender mercies of BP:shrug:

[KonaKane]

15. Depends on if he "mishandled" anything. Which is a matter of opinion.

And no I am not against criticism. I am against internicene warfare that starts to take out more than it offers.

128. Other than putting on his cape and single-handedly put a plug in the hole 1-mile below the surface..

...what the fuck else was he supposed to do?

Look, I am not the man's number one fan at the moment but there isn't a damned thing diffrently he could have done about this...

This was, is and always will be BP's fuck-up..and their's alone...

[krispos42]

3. Obviously the way they ripped McCain apart is long forgotten n/t

[msanthrope]

10. "This is good news for John McCain!" n/t

[KonaKane]

13. I EXPECT stupidity and short memories from that crowd.

It's a bit disappointing to see such an eagerness among my "own" to tear at a president they fought so hard to get elected. I'm not saying we shouldnt be open with criticism based on the issues - I have disagreed with Obama about several things - but lately it seems like its veering to a free for all on the guy.

What short memories we can have, and what is it about Democrats that makes it so hard for them to hold on to power long enough to make the changes that need to happen in our system and our society? Weird.

[butterfly77]

42. +1

And many are trolls because it seems to be a republiCon site now..

[rudy23]

53. Why is Obama so eager to tear down the base that got him elected? Takes two to tango.

While we do need to be careful that we don't needlessly "tear down" our own party's candidate, maybe Obama and Rahm's policies are to blame for that?

[inna]

96. "Tearing down", I could live with. It's *backstabbing* that I have a major problem with.

[alfredo]

4. Remind him that we believe dissenting opinions are

a good thing. We do not demand slavish devotion.

We can express anger and disappointment when warranted.

[dgibby]

37. Well, SOME of us can.

Others, not so much! Seems authoritarian personalities can be found in the most unlikely of places.

[alfredo]

54. That pathology is not as widespread on the left.

[KonaKane]

115. There's a difference between healthy dissent and a circular firing squad

But then again, this has been a problem that has dogged Democrats since the Raygun era. I don't expect it to be solved here on DU.

[zipplewrath]

5. They copy our stuff regularly

I was searching for some stuff the other day, and I stumbled upon the fact that the freepers copy and paste whole threads over to their site. Several other sites seem to "collect" alot of postings and "reflect" them on their own sites. Probably don't have enough of their own content.

[SoCalDem]

117. Wu Tang Clan linked to my photo site

:rofl:

That cracked my son up..


and a carpet cleaning business in Florida used a poem I wrote on their newsletter :rofl:

[Myrina]

6. How is he still a socialist if the gov't hasn't taken control of BP ?

:shrug: It must really hurt to be that intellectually challenged sometimes.

120. heheh

:evilgrin:

[rudy23]

7. I saw a post on Free Republic thanking the OP for keeping "the left" in line.

I promise, I saw it with my own two eyes.


You don't want to be like THEM, do you?

[KonaKane]

17. Thanking me personally? Gee, and not even a card with the flowers?

Gimme a break.

[rudy23]

19. Mine's about as believable as the OP though---you gotta give me that. n/t

[inna]

86. no kidding.

massive fail on part of the OP. :shrug:

[blondeatlast]

8. What? Did the Freeps just NOW start paying attention? We've allowed constructive criticism since I

joined.

Dumbshits--definitely they are very slow on the uptake.

[liberal N proud]

9. With friends like us, who needs enemies

Last summer, I pointed out to people that all the criticism of Obama was going to pay off ... ... ... for the cons. And the criticism then was nothing compared to this last week.

But I was attacked every-which for making those observations.


Eating him alive, helping the GOP insure he is a one term President.

[blindpig]

22. From what I've seen....

I don't think it makes too much damn difference.

[KonaKane]

28. Well, here ya go, liberal N proud. Proof of your assertion.

Makes me sick.

[blindpig]

36. Ain't no liberal. n/t

11. To FR: Enjoy kissing my socialist ass in November. knr nt

[Winterblues]

12. Sort of like how they held Bush*'s feet to the fire over Katrina and ???

D'Oh...They never complained about their boy hero about anything.. Lock-step..No original thought possible over there.

[The Straight Story]

14. They got on their knees and licked bush's ass crack for 8 years, I don't play that game for anyone

But hey, some folks just need someone to kneel before and worship. Used to be golden calves, now it is rich boys of privilege some prostrate to.

[Mad_Dem_X]

34. Exactly

We demand that our people be held accountable, unlike the FReeper assholes.

[Raine]

70. I don't either

if I wouldn't tolerate something their side did I sure as hell won't tolerate my side doing it either (like off shore drilling). :mad:

[sarge43]

16. They couldn't hit head, heart or foot

Head: Too small

Heart: Don't have any

Foot: Both are in their mouths, see head.

[Renew Deal]

18. I have a feeling that the person posting that also posted here.

[WeDidIt]

33. I have a feeling your feeling feels right. n/t

61. Yup. Same person.

Some here aren't fooled that easily.

[Ikonoklast]

Some here aren't fooled that easily.

[blondeatlast]

85. Yup, I tend to agree. nt

[Bluebear]

[sui generis]

20. Of course numbnuts has been reading our "forum"

It is an institute of higher learning that a slack jawed drop chinned loose nostril backwater nuclear lipped deliverance inbred would probably be in complete awe of.

I guess he should keep reading - you can criticize performance without condemning the performer. As usual the freeper yokels will find one completely misconstrued sentence taken out of context and claim it makes their case, AS IF such an occurence has the magical power to change reality.

Poor stupid shit. If he had half a nut he'd come wave his little boy parts around over here and try to hang with some real people instead of that group of fat assed home schooled lard loving pizza eating still-live-with-mom crowd that would shit themselves if they ever caught a glimpse in the mirror bunch of guffawing piss poor protoplasm that lurks over there.

[FedUpWithIt All]

21. I personally will never give a "leader" a free pass, like some did for bush.

just to save political face. It is the assumption that America's citizens will simply lay down as long as their own team is in play that got us into such a decrepit state over the last near decade. Many in power tend to think they can simply appease and get away with whatever they will. They are wrong...about some of us at least.

[Raster]

46. Thank you very much!!! We should hold all members of government accountable.

And even more so, those we deem "on our team." It is time to DEMAND MORE from our government, no matter which side of the aisle they sit on.

Of the people, for the people and by the people.

[Raine]

77. Neither will I

I don't think you do them any favors in the end when you are an enabler. If it's something I wouldn't accept from a repug administration I'm not going to accept it laying down from my side either. :mad:

[sui generis]

23. dupe delete

posting latency

[Warren DeMontague]

24. They need to go to craigslist to see an aesthetically pleasing, well laid out website.

Their place is a disaster.

[sabrina 1]

25. So, remind us again, some Democrats, including the president

it seems, care more about what the dumbest, most politically uneducated, ignorant, crazy members of this society, (we'd hide them if we could out of embarrassment) have to say about ANYTHING than the actual future of this country?

Thanks for yet another confirmation of what we already knew, some on the left are always worried about 'what will the freepers think'. That's the equivalent of worrying about what a non-sentient being might think, if it could.

Really, ignore them, 99.9% of the rest of the civilized world does.

[Arkana]

26. All that proves is that we're capable of independent thought

and don't mindlessly support everything the administration does.

"Dumbocratic Underground"? What are they, five?

[Lyric]

Riiiiight.

I totally believe that. :eyes:

Do the words "staged provocation" mean anything to you?

[SammyWinstonJack]

122. ^5 nt

[walldude]

27. Wow...

Who gives a fuck what a bunch of ignorant racists think? The Kenyan Socialist? These fucking morons are blind and stupid and you think what they say matters?

Who has time for them? They live in an alternate reality, they are angry about things that don't exist. I don't have time to waste giving a fuck what they think about my views on Obama.

[Swamp Rat]

65. You are 100% correct.

[inna]

78. WOW! That is one amazing and powerful graphic.

Is it yours? I noticed it doesn't have your signature on it...

[Swamp Rat]

79. Nope

I wish it was. :D

Here's a new one, if you haven't seen it already:

[Forkboy]

89. Alright, now you're on my territory!

;)

[Swamp Rat]

94. I thought about you while I was making it.

;)

[blondeatlast]

30. Sit down slowly, FR guests. We don't want you to faint.

Good people can disagree without hurting each other. But do join us--either you get your butts handed back to you on a pizza platter or you LEARN something (gasp--like I said, sit down slowly...).

[Bluebear]

129. lolol

[WeDidIt]

31. What conservative needs FR when there's always DU?

:shrug:

[dgibby]

43. For the same reason DU has MODS, even though we have you?

:shrug:

[inna]

81. Pretty fucked up thing to say. Typically.

[Bluebear]

107. thank you

My ignored list must be properly stocked :)

[Forkboy]

90. You tell us, Kemo Sabe.

[TheWatcher]

130. EXACTLY. We have plenty of Corporatists who parade around as Progressives.

Like you, for example.

[Jennicut]

32. I don't think they care about what we care about, they just hate Obama.

[WeDidIt]

Funny

I've seen that same exact thing about many DUers.

[Jennicut]

40. A lot of times people jump to conclusions that are not always

what they turn out to be. People are more emotional then logical at times but that is being human.

[TheWatcher]

131. No, you FALSELY ACCUSE DU'ers of that same exact thing.

Which, from what most of us have observed, is pretty much anyone that disagrees with you.

There is a big difference.

[Bluebear]

136. you said it

[Raster]

35. So, what some freeper asswipe said on Las Vegas' Craigslist is something to be concerned about?

And obviously, in this circular firing squad they aimed at your ass.

[Bluebear]

137. !

:spray:

[Hell Hath No Fury]

38. Dear Numbnuts --

Sorry, I am furious with this Admnistration's response but in no way am I "onboard" with your agenda.

I want more government intervention, more regulation on the oil and gas industries, and a complete ban on offshore drilling.

As a matter of fact, I would love for the US to go real socialist all over the oil/gas industry and nationize our energy resources.

Still think I'm "onboard"?

Hell Hath No Fury

[Forkboy]

39. Ah who gives a fuck?

[Bluebear]

67. That's really the best response

to this one.

[inna]

84. Just saw your signature. Whose quote is that, if you don't mind?

Did Obama say that?

[Marr]

45. Are you kidding?

I understand how a right-wing fanatic might interpret criticism in absolute terms. They're generally not very bright and prone to dualist thinking. What's your excuse?

[TroglodyteScholar]

73. +100 n/t

[lamp_shade]

47. About a year ago I sent my sister a link to DU. Her reaction? Guess. I HAVE NOT referred

anybody here since.

[Starry Messenger]

48. Not enough misspellings

I suspect someone here did it. And you just "happened" to find it.....

[inna]

66. Yeah, and posted on Craigslist.

I don't believe that post is "authentic".

[Starry Messenger]

76. After all, why not post that on FR itself?

They know we read over there. Craigslist takes time to comb through. Things that make you go hmmmm....

[TheKentuckian]

49. Who the fuck cares what they "think"? Or the broader Republicans either?

I don't set my sense of right and wrong by their broken clock and never will.

[Individualist]

51. Fail. Unrec.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

52. Wait, so Obama doing something wrong proves he's a Socialist AND Kenyan?

Wow. Just wow.

[Bobbie Jo]

55. Nuff said.

95. Succint and authoritative (and knowledgeable), as always!

:thumbsup:

[Bobbie Jo]

101. Did you have a point?

...or is this just your usual drive-by snark?

:wtf:

Perhaps you should stalk someone else. I'm not your gal.

[inna]

102. "Perhaps you should stalk someone else." - you must be out of your mind if you claim

that I'm stalking you. That's just an idiotic and malicious comment, and I resent that.

[Bobbie Jo]

104. "Malicious" is familiar territory for you, appearantly....

...as was the intent of this pearl o' wisdom.

"Succint and authoritative (and knowledgeable), as always!"


You know, glass houses, etc....


btw.....What the hell is "succint?"

[Bluebear]

111. succint means expressed a only a few words

[Bobbie Jo]

125. Um....that would be "succinct, " no?

I deciphered it myself, but thanks anyway.

[tkmorris]

56. "Support Obama no matter what or the Freepers win"

Wow. That's some logic you have there.

[inna]

82. That's exactly, precisely the "logic" here.

I'm glad it was obvious to most people reading/commenting in this thread.

[jgraz]

57. Sorry, I don't let dumbfuck racists decide what I talk about.

How 'bout you?

[Dr Fate]

58. I'm not a Liberal version of a freeper or tea bagger.

I'll oppose & disagree my own party where I see fit. I've earned that right by campaigning & giving money to DEMS for years.

I could care less what Freepers or DU's conservat...er, I mean "centrist" members think about that.

[LeftyFingerPop]

59. A fucked up post on craigslist. I can't believe it.

[Bluebear]

87. whoda thunkit?

[Bluebear]

60. Unrec for passive aggressive fail.

[Politicalboi]

63. These assholes are pissed off

Because we can criticize Obama. They NEVER criticized Bush. Bush did NO WRONG to them. We're not as dumb as they are. We see things and realize what's going on, they see it and think it's ok as long as their guy is doing it. And now this assholes gripe is now a post that we all can throw more stones at each other for letting them hear us argue. LOL! They're just jealous. Fuck them and the jackasses that reared them.

[Swamp Rat]

64. The purpose of this thread is to shut down criticism of our President. eom

[MyNameGoesHere]

68. Oh fucking bullshit. Like they need us to hate Obama. FAIL.

[Scuba]

69. What? They expect us to blindly follow??? ....

...of course they do. That's what they do.

[and-justice-for-all]

71. Hey Free Puke, GO FUCK YOURSELF..nt

[Initech]

72. Kindergarten name calling. Stay classy freepers.

[MrMickeysMom]

74. Here... Freepers! Here, I'll make it simple for you...

... as there really is no other way-

Let's just say that DU's threads are an example of what we call a Democratic process. It is what thinking people use when participating in assessment critique of their government (you know, gubbermint). It does work better when using higher order thinking skills. This goes beyond the educational process you may be using with verbs such as, "recite", "recall", or "identify two examples of...".

Here, in order to participate in a course of conversation, higher thinking verbs such as, "analyze", or "synthesize" bring real conversation and discourse. You heard of herding cats? Well, strictly using the cat analogy, you can't just say, "good boy, here's your bone for saying what I want you to." You have to think, not recite and play with your dick.

It requires more than rote memorization and repeating what you thought you heard Hannity, Billo and the unfortunate Limbaugh say. They have only gotten someone else's talking points for you to recite whilst adding to their checking account.

You have much to learn, little Freepers, so keep stopping by.... we love to see interested parties, even if they can only handle so much at a time. It lays to rest all the rumors that you all are a bunch of midget-brains.

:hi: Well, buh-bye, slope brows... wash the sidewalk after dragging those knuckles. :hi:

[Cetacea]

75. Do they miss the irony of their own pleading for fed help?

[Regret My New Name]

80. Umm, one of the most frustrating things about republicans was how quiet they were during the Bush

years. How they stood behind an administration who even under the most forgiving interpretations of events, managed to fuck over this country(and others) time and time again. Do you really think 'we' should be like them? If someone is criticizing Obama and you disagree with their points, then discuss the points. Don't come off like they shouldn't discuss their concerns though. :/

[G_j]

83. spectacular FAIL

[Forkboy]

Why do you hate America!!!!!1111!!!

like the supposed ordering of reporters off the beach by the BP CEO.

There's been a couple of those kinds of nonsensical outrages here, which do look pretty stupid.

[guardian]

103. where do they all aim again?

The groin

[BolivarianHero]

110. A left-liberal forum criticizes a President for being too corporatist...

And this somehow makes us hate the "Kenyan socialist" from the right?


WHA?!?!?!

Wow...No wonder your country is the butt of so many jokes in my neck of the woods. Even the Evangelicals around here think that a lot of the American right is batshit fucking crazy.

[Toucano]

112. So the opinion of Free Rupublicants matters now?

I don't give a shit what they think.

If I think the president or any other Democrat is doing something wrong, I'm going to say so.

That's what makes us better than them.

[EFerrari]

113. Skinner should charge you for the fumigation.

:)

[KonaKane]

114. Maybe he should take a look at what his site has become.

I am seeing a place that is all to eager to eat its own. It's no wonder Democrats cannot hang on to power long enough to get anything done. They are drooling ot assail each other. Great.

Sigh.

[EFerrari]

116. Disagreement is not disloyalty. If people didn't care, they wouldn't bother.

And as far as judging by what the freakers say, come on. These are people who think Sarah Palin is presidential and who have the social skills of meatloaf.

It's all right. This is what Democrats do when they're paying attention. We'll be fine.

[muffin1]

124. You're right, he should.

Maybe he will see people defending Obama for doing the exact same shit that we hated Bush for doing.

Do you honestly believe that the people criticizing Obama are enjoying it? I will grant you that there are probably a few folks who were Clinton supporters that never got over it. There are also some FR trolls who I am sure enjoy trashing him.

But let me tell you one thing. I HATE having to criticize the person I worked so hard to get elected. Seriously, one would have had to look pretty hard to find a bigger Obama fan than I was. I cried most of election night, I was so fucking happy. I even wore Obama buttons for weeks after the election. I was walking on fucking air.

It is not my fault that Obama is not doing the job he said he would do. I KNOW things are bad. I don't expect things to be fixed overnight, or even in four years. But he is not even moving in the right direction. He put up virtually no fight for the public option - single payer wasn't even on the goddamned table. WTF? We have escalated in Afghanistan, the goal posts for leaving Iraq have been moved, and we are still doing renditions. DADT is still being enforced and people are still being kicked out of the military. This one is a gimme. Something like seventy percent of the country believes it should be repealed - that includes a hell of a lot of repukes. His treatment of teachers is equally disgusting. He bends over backward to appease repukes like Grassley, or DINOS like Lincoln and Specter, while dismissing the ideas of liberals like Kucinich and Sanders. And now his performance in the Gulf...I can't even get started on that.

As soon as Obama becomes the President he said he would be, I will be back on board. I'm not holding my breath, though.

[rucky]

118. I don't want to be made fun of by a Freeper

so I give up on critical thinking.

[Bluebear]

126. +

[donco6]

123. Like I've ever cared what the brainless morons at FR think. n/t

[truebrit71]

127. Where do you aim? Typically in the balls...because Dems don't have any...

..otherwise we would have rolled back the tax gifts to the rich, prosecuted the torturers, pulled out of Iraqnam, shut down Fux News, and sent all of the rightwing talking asshats to re-education camps...

And then tried to figure out what to do after lunch..

But then again we didn't have Democrats in office..we have "bi-partisanistas" and centrists pretending to be Dems..

[Dont TS Me Brah]

132. more evidence that we should stand strong and united behind President Obama. nt

[Forkboy]

133. Do you always base your actions on what douchebags think?

[TheWatcher]

134. You do realize that if you replace the last two words of your sentence with President Bush

Then you have the exact kind of mentality that drove the Kool-Aid Drinkers on the other side for eight years.

Do you share this same mentality with them?

[Bluebear]

135. "Evidence"?? lolol

[Greyhound]

138. You say this as if it mattered.

Who cares what people who want to kill you, think of you?

Talk about bringing a knife to a shootout.

[bobbolink]

139. Get back to me when Obama has finished doing in Social Security.

Until then, he is a big boy, and knew what he was getting into.
