Why must trolls be so f***ing OBVIOUS?
I mean, REALLY. I was just glancing up to see what the number of registered users was at, to see if it'd rolled over 30K yet - and the newest registered user is DemsSuck. Well, that one will last a nice long time, I'm sure.

:eyes:

Good gawd. That's like going over to the freak republik and registering as BushSux. Puh-leeeze.

1. It Takes Intellect to Be Obtuse
THAT'S why the trolls are so obvious.

You think the freepers would find a more subtle way of sneaking into our ranks.

12. Maybe I'm not clear on the use of the term "freeper"
Do long-timers here assume that every disruptive or right wing or conservative who comes here intent on making trouble is necessarily a Free Republic reader? Or is the word "freeper" more generic as used here?

18. It's kinda of a generalization
But if you go to the Lobby you can see who the most recent members are that have joined the DU. The current one "AllDemsMustDie" really doesn't sound like anyone who will become a longterm member of the community. The previous new member was "DemsSuck"

14. Oxymorans!
If they are a Freeper, they can't be overloaded with smarts!

Can you be overqualified to be a Moran? Well,,,most FReepers are!

If they voted for Bush and still don't think they blew it last time, they are beyond mortal help! Earnest Angley still might salvage something, but I wouldn't count on it!

Smart and FReeper are a combination that is extremly rare IMHO!

I think I know this asshole....

How many idiots in the world could misspell "democrat" in exactly the same way??

Unless, of course he was referring to Democrates, the lesser known liberal younger brother of Socrates :evilgrin:

15. They are not trying to sneak in.
Freepers know that their name will appear at the top as newest member. They are just trying to get under our skin and it seems to be working. I prefer to treat them like children. Just ignore their bad behavior and they will stop.

23. I just logged in and saw "freeperdisruptor"
was our newest member (already tombstoned).

And still ringing in my ears was a Republican acquaintance's accusation that liberals lack critical thinking skills.

If we lack "critical thinking skills" why are most people with advanced degrees liberals? Why are colleges and universities, according to the RWers own propaganda, "hotbeds of liberalism"??

right-wing propaganda. Many of the Universities I attended had professors preaching both the neo-con extremist idealogy as well as the liberal idealogy.

Or maybe Bin Laden is a Dean Martin fan from way back.

But heck, I once dated a Jewish guy who ate bacon cheeseburgers on Yom Kippur, so I suppose it's not out of the question.

I still have an active account over at the Free Republic that hasn't been locked since I created over 2 years ago.

I never use it, but it's there and every once in awhile I check it and it's still active.

53. When I used to lurk at FR,
I called myself "notta freeper", but they didn't "zot" me until I stuck up for Janeane Garofalo. Using an obvious handle is actually a form of honesty, and a statement that you really don't care fi you get booted. I didn't care at all. Just a little time-killer.
