The FreeRepublic disclaimer is sorely lacking
Edited on Tue Nov-18-08 02:45 AM by CreekDog
Current disclaimer:

"Disclaimer: Opinions posted on Free Republic are those of the individual posters and do not necessarily represent the opinion of Free Republic or its management. All materials posted herein are protected by copyright law and the exemption for fair use of copyrighted works."

Now we can do better than that:

New Disclaimer: Opinions posted on Free Republic are those of foul mouthed parrots and are transcribed by enslaved monkeys who spell poorly and do not necessarily represent Free Republic or its management because they are smarter than Free Republic Management. All materials posted herein are quotes worthy of a Coast to Coast AM guest and are exempted from fair use and the three dimensions most humans agree to be bound by.

1. Or...
All the opinions here come from the basement of my Mom's house (where I/we have lived for the last 20 years).

7. "Those aren't really intentional misspellings.
It's just the result of too much Chee-tos dust gumming up the keys."

4. FreeplePeeple
all live on Mars. Their "opinions" bear no relation to objective reality.

6. There is such an overwhelming amount of projection at FR.
Edited on Tue Nov-18-08 06:46 AM by mwb970
It's really amazing. Every single awful thing the right-wingers do, they accuse us of. Every inhuman characteristic of theirs is attributed to us. Always. Here's a typical FR post from a random thread:

To: Skenderbej

Liberals tend to emote rather than think so their arguments aren’t often based in logic. They are based in “feeling”.

12 posted on Tuesday, November 18, 2008 3:26:19 AM by Pinkbell (Liberals are only tolerant of those with whom they agree.)

You got that? It's liberals who are ruled by emotion rather than logic. (That's why so many college professors are liberal.) It's liberals who are intolerant of dissent. (Question: What happens to those who post an opposing viewpoint on FR? Answer: They get tombstoned immediately! They must all be "liberals" over there.)

Every now and then there is an FR post that makes sense, I would guess 1-2% or so. But for the most part, teh crazy, it BURNS!

PS. If you want to read the rest of this particularly dumb thread, it is here:
