In reply to the discussion: Day 6 at Free Republic and sadly my last report..... [View all]delrem
(9,688 posts)94. I thought it lacked in satire
because it lacked in believability, where you suggested that Freepers would reject HRC for her Iraq War vote, and for her ties to wall street, and that whole third way business.
Everyone knows that is false. What is true is that Freepers hate HRC because she's a social liberal, a 3rd way corporate liberal who believes that if all corporate demands are met, all the demands of war profiteers and banking privateers are met (Victoria Nuland: what is good enough for Dick is good enough for Hillary, and John), there can still be some tokens to throw at issues of social equality. That rubs the tea party the wrong way. And Freepers are tea party thru' and thru'.

It was satire and was a lot more innocuous than a lot of posting that passes muster here.

It is, shall we say, artistic license for you to call your posts "reports". (n/t)

Bwah! This is like watching a little tiny spin-off of Stephen Colbert - the attempt, anyway.
