Is It Just Me Or Are The Freeps Really Cooking Today?
I have seen far more funky, freepy posts by folks with single or double digit post counts than I am used to today. Either these folks are freeps or they really do not get it at all (Actually, I guess that is kind of the same thing).

I have noticed that bad news for them makes them come out of the woodwork.

I guess they are pissed about Delay, or Frist, or Bush's dropping poll numbers, or the fact that 60% of the country opposes the war, or something...

It's OK freeps. Don't despair. Your boys will keep their jobs until 2006.

Although I recommend you make the best of your time in power. It is rapidly coming to an end. Once it does, it will take you decades to live these past 5 years down. You are now officially the party of greed, dirty politics, and corruption. Enjoy!

I always wonder if they actually look like this in person. If not they sure have this well hidden on the inside. Troll SOB's!

1. I usually seem to miss those posts!
Darn! Darn! Darn!

I'm really a nice person who generally doesn't get into gaining pleasure from laughing at the mentally challenged, but Freeps are a whole 'nuther beast;)

Someone should start a daily thread with links to all the threads wherein these funny little creatures get their jollies:)

33. In the words of William S. Burroughs...
Do not offer sympathy to the mentally ill. (freeps in this case) Tell them FIRMLY: I am not paid to listen to this drivel, you are a terminal fool.

I added in the part about the freeps for clarification. :)

3. No NASCAR shirt.........
it CAN'T be a freeper without a NASCAR shirt. That's more a Lucianne Goldberg type reader pictured above. They have a little better fashion sense than freepers. :rofl:

21. If All Freepers Are NASCAR...
lovers and all NASCAR lovers wear NASCAR shirts, then all NASCAR lovers are Freepers.

True or false?

5. Freepers piss me off.
They can't spell, they spew ignorance, and they are completely obvious. So they get tombstoned so fast I never get to read what they said.

All I get to see is the follow up threads that say, "Enjoy your stay" and shit like that. I never get to actually see what they wrote.

I wish Freepers could be just a little smarter and a little more subtle... but then I guess they'd be Democrats, huh?

At least I get to enjoy the occasional "hate mailbag".

7. . . .as someone who was accused of being a freeper today
for expressing an unpopular opinion.

I have to say you all are WAY too focused on your little internet rivalries.

There is a real war going on and it has nothing to do with websites.

10. Hmmm. Let's See. Post That The Troops Suck And Would Rape Your Wife
if given the chance. You do that with a blocked user profile and you wonder why the hell anyone would find that suspicious. Why would that be?

This has nothing to do with internet rivalries. It has to do with assholes trying to make us look like dicks. I call them out any chance I get. Hear the phone ringing?

To reiterate, We support the troops. You may actually hate them or you are a troll. Either way, you are fucked up.

I suspect you will be gone real fast if you post anything else like that crap.

20. I give up. . . .
. . . you think my post was stupid?. . . fine.

you assume everyone is part of some petty internet war? . . . .wrong.

Leave? nah. . . I learn too many things that are important to me every day on this site. I live and breathe this stuff. . . I just got a little fed up and expressed an opinion that was uncomfortable for some of you to contemplate.

And back in real life. . .I'll go on supporting disadvantaged kids and union members. . . you go on supporting people who rape and kill civilians on command.

26. I actually didn't know it was a common practice. . .
but I learned a bit about it today.

Seriously, I am NOT leaving. I love the DU. But I probably deserve a "time out". I won't post for a while .

. . hopefully some of you can forgive me for expressing my disapproval of "occupational rapists".

28. Stay or go.
I don't really give a shit one way or the other.

But you do need to get off of the whole "the troops are rapists" shit. Broad brushes don't work. Trying to say that Distressed American supports "...people who rape and kill civilians on command" is complete and utter bullshit.

At the very least, you owe him an apology. Your thread got yanked for a reason- and it wasn't that you made people uncomfortable.

29. Keep Digging Your Hole...
Wanna go with baby killers while you are at it?

Some asshole freeps rewrote one of my posts to say just that and circulated it to discredit me. Of course that was fucking pointless. But, I am well aware of the way the right wants to portray the left.

They think they can hold onto power and discredit the antiwar movement by painting this as soldiers being spit on coming home from war II, The Revenge. You either play their game and lace the site with this shit, or you actually believe it which makes you pretty much just as fucked up.

I vote for the latter since I have never heard such vile stupidity posted here about the troops by a newbie or a veteran (not to mention your blocked user profile and the other suspicious things).

Get a fucking clue would you?

38. Praise, I don't want to start a fight with you, but my husband is a
soldier and served over a year in Iraq. Not that he wanted to but he has been in the military for over 19 years since he was 17 years old (went to basic the summer between his jr. and sr. yrs. in high school)and that is what he knows. He provides for our family with his military salary. He retires in less than a year and we are looking very forward to that day.

While in Iraq, he would stop by orphanages to bring the kids toys and candy that he had me send over for them. We looked into adopting some of the kids but because we are not Muslim it is not allowed. He has never raped anyone.

You are painting with way to broad a brush and it is very hurtful to those of us that have family that are in the military.

There are good and bad people in the military.

31. Ya know, I didn't post in your asshole brat-bastard piece of shit thread
but I'm here to tell you. If you are going to post that sort of shit here, you should find some other site because DU is not the kind of site for that sort of bullshit lying crap. Take it down the road.

11. Welcome to DU, praisethelowered.
:hi:

I really like your user name.

And you're right that some of us focus too much on the freepers, and some of us jump on people who we suspect are freepers with insufficient evidence.

But most of us are multitaskers who can concentrate on the business at hand and still make fun of those who deserve it for spewing badly-spelled Rovian talking points. ;)

16. Do Not Fall For The Poor Me Routine. You Are Being Played.
It took all of 15 minutes for his troop hater thread to get pulled. I was apparently not the only one that found it suspicious.

24. You Missed Because It Was Pulled. Just The Type Of Crap They Like To
post here to make us look like assholes.

Claimed that the troops just want to kill without consequences and that they would gladly rape his wife if given the chance. It was fucking gross.

If you missed the previous posts, how can you tell if you are being addressed by an ally or not?

25. Allies don't call us "you all"
Pretty simple. Even the most heated arguments on this board have a certain level of understanding that we're on the same side.

This person gives away their lack of understanding with every word.

I didn't even click into it. Anyone who would post such drivel is either a freeper, one of fatboy's assistants, or just dumb and not worth the time.

13. Just be glad you aren't a dog in their house.
When petty people experience a setback they take it out on others. Apparently some freepers come here to sow disruption. I imagine others kick their dogs.

For such pious people, they sure have a hard time swallowing personal responsibility.

35. You bet their cooking!
Those big butch Freepers are cooking up some quiche made out of the left-over eggs on their faces from the DeLay indictment.

Oh those sweet, Freepers! Just so ... 'manly'!

I could just kiss 'em all (and then spray my lips liberally with Raid).

37. The latest popular fun amongst trolls
is to accuse DUers in general of being racist. :eyes:

Also, enjoyable is the type who claims to have "lurked for about a year" and then has 787 posts in 2-1/2 weeks.
