Meanwhile, over in Freeperville.....

[southerncrone]

I couldn't resist just taking a peek over on the dark side just to see what they were saying about today's VP pick.

Here's the scuttlebut:

• Major focus on Colin Powell being at a McSame mixer. Lots of hopeful talk about this.
  (I actually started to post today asking DUer's if they thought McSame would now look for an
  African-American VP--guess they are.)



• Worry that McSame might pick Hillary!



• Dragging up ancient stuff on Biden from his '88 bid for President--him bragging about his high IQ.



• Lots of other lame shit.
  

They do not seem as vocal as I expected.
Maybe they are speechless for a change. :)

1. bragging about his IQ?

LOL that's fucking classic. Only in Freeperville.

[southerncrone]

2. Yea, their words, not mine. Jealosy, I say!

They latch on to the lamest of things!

[Muttocracy]

5. he made a snotty remark to one person. Such big ammo. nt

:eyes:

[movonne]

11. I guess to the freepers have a high IQ is not a good thing...they

want their president to have a low IQ so they can understand them..

[jillan]

13. Actually, CSpan played that clip today.

I am one of the biggest Biden supporters and I will tell you, that was not Biden's finest moment.

[ChazII]

3. I don't care for Freeperville

and go to Political Crossfire for a more 'balanced' view.:evilgrin:

[Erin Elizabeth]

4. I don't even see how anyone can look at that cesspool.

[southerncrone]

8. Well, I'm very cat-like & curiosity got the best of me.

I usually can't stomach it either. Only the 2nd time I've been there. Left quickly.
Will you forgive me? :blush:

[ChazII]

12. of course we will

'cuz we all know that while curiosity killed the cat . . . it was satisfaction that brought it back.:hi:

[southerncrone]

14. Yesiree!

I'm quite satisfied here at DU! Where the good folks live!

Thanks for having me back!:hug:

[Muttocracy]

15. I hope you washed your hands

:P

[Starry Messenger]

16. It hurts the eyes

I don't know how they keep track of who is talking to who.

MPK

[mzmolly]

6. They're waiting for the official talking points from Rush I

presume?

[Submariner]

7. "Maybe they are speechless for a change" Ha!

I think they're just waiting for their Fox News talking points that will come from the Sunday Fox shows.

By this time tomorrow they will probably be slobbering in hate that Biden eats babies alive, is a closet member of the Klu Klux Klan, and is a communist sympathizer. Give it time, they are getting a hate recharge via Rove fax and should be going ballistic soon.

[southerncrone]

10. Rovian fax! LOL

:rofl:

You're probably correct! Darth's probably cookin' up some juicy slingbait, too. If not another war or coup.

[eleny]

9. So one of them started a thread here about McCain and an AA-VP

I wonder who it is?

[southerncrone]

17. No, I almost started a thread today about McSame

now selecting an African-American instead of the other bobble-heads he's been considering.

I think he might try to "balance" their side, because we have trumped their supposed strong suite (foreign policy/military experience).

[eleny]

18. Oh, I thought someone was bragging over there

[rasputin1952]

19. Bragging about his IQ...I suppose Hannity will have something to

say about that...after all, his major selling point of his flopped book was, "there are no words with more than 3 syllabals"....:D

If that is the case, he couldn't even use Eisenhower in the book, as if he has any idea who that is.

All the GOP has is fear, which of course can be manipulated to push buttons on the population; but after all these years of bush, who the hell would be scared of terrorists, bush has done more to destroy this nation than any group of terrorists could ever dream of...:grr:

[southerncrone]

20. Ain't that the truth!

[Qutzupalotl]

21. Isn't Powell supporting Obama?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x6630325

But let's say they sway him. What kind of symbolism is that? Old white guy still on top. Powell looks like a lackey. Our side? Guy who stepped in it and said something that some took as insensitive, happily supporting the man he supposedly dissed. It's night and day.

[mwb970]

26. Also, Powell is almost as old as Gramps. /nt

[Renew Deal]

22. They are verifiably insane if they think Hillary would run with McCain.

:crazy:

[flamingdem]

23. Wow, not much to fear from these Freepers (can u say lo IQ?) nt

[thenext8seconds]

24. "I think a McCain/Petraeus ticket would be an unbeatable combination at the ballot box. "

:rofl:

[JoFerret]

25. Why are you lying

on the floor foaming red at the mouth having a tantrum?

[Fluffdaddy]

27. Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer
