This has got to be one of the funniest posts I have seen.

1. Yeah I thought it was funny too

Which is why I said... "I think he is a little more than the assistant"

Newbies...lol.

2. It's the kind of comment I would expect

at the American Fascist message board.

3. I guess you are referring to FreeRepublic?

4. am i missing something here?

the posters name is: Mulder

wasn't Mulder's boss on the X-files Assistant Director Skinner ... i don't think the guy's a freeper ... i think it was intended as a joke ...

maybe that's even how Skinner selected his username ...

am i missing something here?

5. I may be mistaken,

but I think the Admin skinner took his name from Principal Skinner on the simpsons (He used to have a little Seymore Skinner avitar before Fox sent them some cease and desist letters...)

Clearly the poster is punning on their username, their avitar is even a ghost, likely a referance to Fox Mulder's nickname 'spooky'

6. well, damn ...

that'll learn me for not being a simpson's watcher ... i've never seen the show ...

sounds like you're not mistaken, Siflnolly ... it goes to show you that the truth is, indeed, out there ...
