Now, they are getting desperate:

From someone named Fred Shelm - racism is alive and well in the good old USA.

2. Don't laugh, folks. This tells you what they're wishing for in reverse.
This is why Jonah Goldberg has this book 'liberal fascism'. The more they go on about this BS, the more they are thinking of doing it themselves. It will just be called something else.

6. I think they call it "projection". You accuse others of what you secretly want.

10. those Freepers sure talk a lot about Hitler
schooling each other on all these little arcane facts about him.

You can almost picture them in a basement somewhere in Alabama, in nothing but their undies and little Nazi hats and pencilled in mustaches, piles of half-eaten food, soda cans and grubby nudie mags strewn all around with a big velvet painting of Jesus with a shotgun hanging on the wall.

18. Why is that?
Are we the reason it was taken down or what? I am really dumb about such things because I never venture into Freeperville.

22. I really don't know what the remark was but I imagine it was vile.
Edited on Thu Sep-25-08 11:56 PM by rebel with a cause
But why ask me this quesion when I did not gain access to the site, and I was asking why the thread being pulled was then linked back to this thread? It all seemed strange to me, and that was why I was asking. If I read the post at freeperville, I might ask the question you just asked. :shrug:

25. The 'okay' is just a javascript 'back' button....
Edited on Fri Sep-26-08 12:08 AM by guruoo
As in... illegal codewindow.history.back()
Try copy and paste the link into a new tab,
or window, hit enter, then click the 'okay' button.

13. I dug around over there (scratching myself now, ewww) and
there was so much racism and homophobia it was actually really affirming and refreshing to see- it's good to have a url to refer people to now when they say the country is beyond such prejudices.

They are also horribly sexist against their own VP candidate, they don't show her the respect of calling her Governor, or even by her last name. She is "sweet Sarah", "my sarah", "our sarah", and most of the posts about her comment mainly on her physical appearance. How incredibly offensive for a woman as accomplished as Governor Palin to be reduced to freeper pinup girl status.

Really though, it's all good- it means we're not crazy, racism, sexism, and homophobia is still alive and rampant in the right wing and we need to protect the country from it.

17. All the DUers that were arguing with me the other day that
racism was not a problem any more, should read it. Oh yeah, I agree the other things exist also but it is not only in the right wing but in most places if you look close enough. It is just more open and threatening in the right wing sector. JMHO

23. Yes, they are being racist and disrespectful of Barack.
I would prefer not to see these things. I did a google the other day of images and came across one of the most racist ones that can be made. I have not mentioned it here or anywhere else because just seeing it made me feel sick and guilty from even focusing my eyes on it.

30. You know what's appalling to me as an ex- Republican:
Once upon a time ago, within my living memory, freepers would have been persona non grata in the GOP. Their support would not have been sought, appreciated, or even exploited should they somehow stumble into the party. They would have been immediately recognized as a batch of extremist "true believers", and they would have been forced to form their own fringe party if they wanted to play politics with the adults.

Bad things have happened to the Republican Party. Very bad things.

No mystery, I suppose, why even Nixon's daughter is an Obama supporter.

32. I use to be a republican also when I was very young.
And later on I was inbetween and just voted for the person and not the party. Now the republicans like this scare me, and those that deny this is even happening scare me even more. Without those in denial, these idiots could not stay in power. :grr:

33. I'm a reformed republican too, the religious right moved in and
a lot of us were fed up. It has become a party of racists, xenophobes, and pimps of corporate welfare.

I'm still pretty fiscally conservative, and I don't think I'm alone- I think the party has lost a lot of support especially in recent years and they are in for a shock on election day.

(As an aside, the turning point for ME was when B. Clinton won his first term. I was unhappy about it until a few months into his presidency it became obvious this man could actually make stuff happen, hell even when he was completely under fire by the right wing- being chased through courts and special investigations. He still managed to whittle the deficit down and turn it into a surplus, keep us safe, grow our technologies, and leave this nation in better shape than before he took over. 92 was the last time I voted republican. I don't see how ANY thinking human being could compare 8 yrs of Clinton vs 8 yrs of Bush and not see the blatant, blinding, complete undeniable failure of a republican ticket vs a democrat.)
