What did freepers do before Clinton came on the scene?
Edited on Mon Sep-11-06 02:28 PM by Mountainman
It seems like hating Clinton and blaming him for everything wrong in their lives is what gives freepers their meaning for life. What did a freeper do before 1992? The net gave freepers a place to meet up but before did they stay in their rooms and piss on themselves or something? Who did they blame back then for their fucked up miserable lives? I know rim job was a no body then, still is but did he roll around in his chair pissed off at the world?

beating their wives, kicking their dogs and just hanging out in the trailer park. Then limpballs came along and gave them a voice outside shortwave radio and the rest is obvious.

5. They hid their red asses
Clinton exposed their red asses, and ever since they have been running around trying to figure out how they can hide them again. P.S. they've had no luck.

17. Yeah.
Edited on Mon Sep-11-06 02:44 PM by Benhurst
And foreigners. Yankees, Mexicans, Arabs, Indians (who look like Arabs to them), and Native Americans ...

Whew! The list is endless.

Let's put it this way, they've always been equal-opportunity haters.

10. There was a lot of "anti-government" hatred against old Bush
...during his term. The militia movement (that looked a lot like the KKK to me) was up and running then.

13. Honestly?
They never got over Nixon. They let it stew and stew until Clinton won. Then they let it rip. Most of the witch hunt on Clinton was due to their embarrassment from Nixon.

15. They screwed poor and working people by themselves...
Clinton wasn't a total loss, for sure, but he did:

1) implement NAFTA
2) sign welfare reform bills
3) increase the amount of crimes eligible for capital punishment
4) accept refugees from Cuba, but not Haiti
5) As governor, allowed Reagan to use his airports on the way to helping the Contras.

While this list only focuses on the bad, it also only scratches the surface.

20. For all intents and purposes, they didn't exist.
At least no one was aware of them. They were powerless. They lived like cockroaches in the woodwork. Years ago we'd laugh at an occasional "holy roller" on TV. Then Reagan let them out, and they've been with us ever since.

23. Oh yeah
There's real hatred for Kennedy. Toss up on who they hate more Ted or Clinton. FDR--goes over real well too, still bashing him after 60 years.

They do seem to use Truman to their advantage though...poor guy.

25. Anything Kennedy is to be hated. I guess the picture of
Clinton meeting JFK really pushed them over the edge.

26. Freeper 1.0
Before Clinton, the Freeper as we know it today was just a twinkle in the global fascists' eyes. The freeper golem had only been test run in the field with limited success during the Reagan years because the cultural environment still needed to be far more toxic for the freeper strain to gain virulence. The undermining of the public education system had only recently gotten underway; the "greed is good" meme had just been injected into the American collective psyche; the muscle bound paramilitary action-hero-out-for-revenge was in its first incarnations; World Federation Wrestling had just started to redefine the meaning of masculinity and victory; The Stars and Stripes had yet to be anchored successfully as a mass hypnotic trigger; Lee Greenwood had only recently discovered the lost chord of statist religion for the underemployed; The Jack Chick style of cartoon religion hadn't yet found its way into the board rooms, courthouses, school boards and sacristies of America; Walt Disney still limited its psychic butchery to mice, dogs, ducks and dwarfs; Reality TV had not yet been co-opted from Asia; There were still people who knew how to say "I wouldn't eat that if you paid me a million bucks!" and so on...

Despite what Rush Limbough would have you believe, there really weren't any freepers before Clinton. When Clinton got elected the event acted as a catalyst in the (by then) debilitated American psyche by creating the perfect growth medium for freeper culture to finally develop. After that the golems were coming off the assembly line en mass just in time for the neocon clone wars.

So you see, it's all Clinton's fault.

:hippie:

...Although now because they can't blame the Clintons for everything, they use Michael Moore/MoveOn/DU/DKos/Cindy Sheehan/War on Christmas/obscure college professors, as a collective Emmanuel Goldstein to keep themselves motivated enough to vote.

30. They collected their disability checks and their
food stamps while proudly screaming about welfare queens and how minorities manipulate the system.

32. Throughout the eighties...
and early ninties they worshipped Reagan and Limbaugh came on the scene and labeled all dems, THey killed abortion doctors and terry what ever his name is protested about abortion.

Pat bucanhan carried on and pitted race aganist race, Newt put his contract on america they tried to start every war they possibly could by pitting country against country and they have been building on these things every since. They always pit group against group and then when things get out of hand they want everyone to come together as a country as long as the so called president is a RepubliCON.
