Freeping lurkers we can tell who you are, it may take awhile
but you will slip up. Your lurking here will not make Bush win the election.

3. How can you tell who they are, if they don't post?
You know, nothing brings a community together like a witch hunt.

4. Why is it that the thought police dominate this site????
I really enjoy DU, but the continuous presence of the "Thought Police" really pisses me off some times. Any time anyone posts anything suggesting that Kerry might not win, they are branded a "Freeper".

I have voted Dem in every election since I was 18. My family has produced Democratic elected officials, and I support the Democratic party on all levels. However, I am not convinced that Kerry is going to win. I have never seen such an alliance of evil as the Pukes have put togwether this year.

Last night on the news, they covered stories of vote fraud in several states. The Pukes aren't even trying to hide what they're doing!!!! Even scarier, most people don't seem to care!! Here on DU, we rail against it all the time, yet the average American seems totally oblivious to what's going on. One older lady in Florida was on the news last night furious that her name had "somehow" not appeared on the voter list. Her comment "This is America and I'm not being allowed to vote." should have been a wake-up call. Yet, unfotuantely, too many Americans were probably too busy checking the TV guid to see when "Fear Factor" was coming on to notice.

If refusing to put on my rose-colored glasses makes me a Freeper, then so be it. I knew that the Pukes were trying to stomp out any dissent. We shouldn't be doing it here, too.

6. I have to agree....
Being new myself, I have to be really careful as to what I say. Just because someone has a low post count, dosen't mean they are a freeper!

THinking before you type will surely help alot of us, who feel afraid to post on certain topics.

13. Yeah I know what you mean
Like thos guys who post about how Bush runs everything already, and we are totally doomed. Senator Kerry has no hope whatsoever becuase the corporate media will destroy him. There is no democracy; we are a fascist state. I'm sure the guys who print that stuff are being paid out of Karl Roves pocket to demoralize us.

Unless of course I'm wrong.

23. Oh you read an article somewhere
Well that proves it. I mean there's no chance that kind of information could be anything but 100% accurate.

I read an article once that suggested Saddam Hussein had Weapons of Mass Destruction.

Is it really Paranoia if they really are out to get you?

21. I never said that there are no freeps lurking
and or posting, but you must admit that many of us get pegged as freepers when we don't agree, or simply because of a low post count. I mean....come 'on.....

9. Why Such An Inflammatory Post Title?
Edited on Tue Oct-19-04 09:29 AM by ProfessorGAC
The thought police? An example, please! Dominating the site? Same request.

I would think that if you are promoting tolerance, you would be more tolerant of more passionate and emotional people, and not accuse them of policing thought, or this site. Rather, you would exhibit the tolerance you would like to see, by avoiding name calling.

Just a thought.

15. This happens all the time...
Somebody raises any question that goes against the "party line" and suddenly they're a Freeper, a Puke, or a Defeatist.

Maybe we should just cut-and-paste a standard post for the election that will make everyone happy. I might suggest:


Kill win all fifty states, with Democrats taking the House and Senate in huge margins!! Osama Bin laden found hiding in Bush's Crawford rec room!! Distrught over complete Republican electoral collapse, Karl Rove and Bill O'Reilly carry out secret lovers' suicide pact.

24. You Haven't Answered The Question
I know the point you were trying to make. But you neither answered the question regarding the tone of your post nor provided examples of how it "dominates" this board.

I don't see either as being true. Yet, you stated it as fact, then less then deftly avoided the issue i raised.

That's pretty convenient. No?

25. Then again, a lot of freepers do hang out on DU,
lurking or otherwise. And they usually do give themselves away eventually once they start posting. Which has nothing to do with any thought police.

16. Dick Cheney is NOT Darth vader!!!!!
Come on, Vader was kinda cool in a way! Cheney reminds me of Mr. Potter from "It's a Wonderful Life" or a super-sized version of Montgomery Burns from the Simpsons.

26. Vader is the personification of evil, so is Cheney.
It may seem cool in a movie, but real life is different then a movie.
