Poll question: Should DU'ers Read the Posts on the Free Republic ?
Should we DU'ers regularly visit www.freerepublic.com?

2. I can't stomach the place very often, but...
... it's good to keep an eye on what the crazies are up to, and they don't come much crazier than the Freepazoids :crazy:

3. Do what you want
I don't read that shit. My blood pressure's high enough right now. Some of the ordinary idiocy that gets posted there is humorous to read, but who wants to wade through the rest of that tripe for a laugh at repug idiocy?

5. No
In the words of our Immortal Leader, "Who cares what they (sic) think?"

6. No. I don't care what Morans have to say
I refuse to give them any hits. I mean, I understand the whole "know thy enemy" idea but I think if one or two of us keep an eye on the idiocy going on over there, that's enough. We all don't need to frequent the site. Besides, I've heard it smells over there and I have a very sensitive nose.

7. I use the net to escape the reich-wing idiocy of broadcast TV.
I don't want to foul up my board by surfing over at Freep. To all those who keep an eye trained on the naziwannabees over there, I applaud your intestinal fortitude. But I choose to stay away.

Hear that, you freeper assholes?: My CHOICE! Choice Choice Choice!

*jibbering freepers running around with their fingers in their ears, yelling,"goobie-doobie-goobie-doobie!" to drown out the dreaded word 'choice'.*

8. C) I would consider it if
1) The format wasn't unreadable.

2) The posts weren't 99% content free. (Not unlike my posts! :) )

9. Oh hell, I do it all the time.
#1, they have more eyes watching the news on TV, so might have a story before DU that I can post on DU.
#2, they are morons, and it's fun to laugh at their posts.
#3, once in a great while, you can find a division in their ranks where some freepers actually support a Democratic/liberal position, and you can join in the fun:). This is particularly true on threads about job losses and the Patriot Act.

Some people get really bothered reading the right-wing crap though, so you need a strong stomach.
