I was just over at Yahoo

[MrScorpio]

Checking out the so-called Kerry/obscenity discussion thread when it was hijacked by a bunch of gawddammed, mutha-phukkin' Freepers.

These people make no sense at all.

They can't argue coherently. They ignore pertinent facts. And they use the most idiotic logic forming processes this side of an RNC convention.

How can these people function with such limited brain capacity?

It makes no sense to me.

[CoNnOc]

2. whats a freeper?

[Kamika]

4. conservative sheep

It's what we called ppl at free republic.. but it has started to represent all kinds of stereotypical conservatives who behaves like bush is God etc

[MrScorpio]

8. What makes a Freeper

A Freeper is used to describe any devotee to a right-wing garbage website named freerepublic.com.

The place is where common sense goes to die a horrible death.

Their posts are routinely, sexist, racist and fawning of anything Shrubby and his ilk.

We also call any idiot who fits that general mold Freepers.

It makes a pretty good insult too.

I tried to enlighten some repubs over a two or three month period and it was a complete waste of time....I learned my lesson.

3. There strategy actually works well in a chess match.

It's almost impossible to defend against chaos.

I know, you think this is just a humourous quip. Sadly, it's not.

7. Speaking of quotes.....

"So, Kerry said the F word in a Rolling Stone interview. Dubya flashback:

Fuck Saddam. We're taking him out.
-George W. Bush, March 2002, as reported in Time.

You no-good fucking son of a bitch, I will never fucking forget what you wrote.
-George W. Bush, to journalist Al Hunt in front of his 4-year old daugher, 1987.

If the Bushies are making a stink about this, it's incumbent on any journalist who has heard, but not reported, our president saying a naughty word or two to report them for, as they say, "balance."

Of course, let's not forget:

"Pussy."
-George W. Bush, 1988, in response to a question about what he and his father are talking about when they're not talking politics.

9. They have no logic and it is apples and oranges.

Very hard to make a point. I used to take on a guy like that and he would finally say well Ted Kennedy drinks and go home. But then this man and his wife taped Rush on about 20 tapes and gave them to my sister, so he really did not know what he was doing.They also do not get to the subject.

12. Yahoo is notorious for that.

It's hard to have a purely liberal discussion. They start rooms simply to rant about republicans and to talk about dem issues, and pukes just don't understand that we don't want to debate and educate them all day. It sucks.

14. Sometimes I've had some pretty good conversations there

But it was pretty fast moving today. Awash with a crapload of freepish idiocy.

What got me was the sheer number of recommendations that the most idiotic of posts received.

One look and I could tell how hopeless an endeavor that trying to insert a little common sense would be.

So I bailed.

Better to let them eat their own

13. I encountered a woman on another forum

who was posting stuff about Clinton raping women that she had picked up off of the Free Republic website. I posted everything I had on Arnold Schwarzenegger, from his statuatory rape to all his groping accusations as well as the photograph of him grabbing the English woman talk show host's ass. I asked if this behavior is not acceptable for a Democrat, why is it for a Republican?

Also another woman came in and pointed out that Clinton's sexual offenses were consensual and Arnold's weren't. Well, the freeper woman didn't even reply but all the other woman could say was 'do as I do not as I say' which really didn't make a whole lot of sense but at least I killed the thread that was intended to be a Clinton bashing one.

16. Bravo

Maybe they weren't drunk enough to turn to emotional apoplexy.

Which is a tactic that they normally fall into when faced with the facts.
