You'll love this: Editorial slamming freepers
Stand up, Democrats
(http://www.dailysouthtown.com/news/hantschel/587441,100407HantschelCol.article)

October 4, 2007

By Allison Hantschel

Two weeks ago, members of the right-wing Web site FreeRepublic.com were invited to a picnic at the White House.

The Freepers, as they call themselves, were invited to eat and mingle with the president and his aides, receiving praise from the chief executive and first lady for their work in supporting the war.

Regular features on Free Republic include threats to American citizens and public officials (liberals and Democrats, of course); racist, sexist and discriminatory rhetoric; and much mockery of the president himself, largely because of his insufficiently harsh stance on immigration.

"The only good Muslim," one site regular wrote after the president visited a Washington-area mosque "is an ex-Muslim."

Along with the Freepers were members of the political action group Move America Forward, chaired by San Francisco hate-radio host Melanie Morgan. Morgan's most famous public moment came when she called for the hanging of New York Times editor Bill Keller and laughed along her co-hosts as they talked about putting a bull's-eye on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

4. without suport from the upper reaches of the Repulican party they would shrivel and die
Geezus, these cretins were invited to the white house!

How much covert support must they get from well funded Republican sources?

Would freerepublic even be able to keep the lights on without this funding?

6. So were the guys who kicked and beat the Gold Star father during the peace demonstration.
Flood Keith's emil box with this stuff. It's not enought o point out that these are bad people who do bad things. We have to keep harping on the fact that the WH and Repub Party supports, encourages, and rewards them.

Whenever anyone says anything the WH and Repubs can fake outrage over, they demand that every Dem publicly censure them. But when Rush Limbaugh calls antiwar soldiers "phony soldiers," the Repubs want to pass a resolution praising him for his support of the troops. Instead of censuring the guys who kicked the hell out of a Gold Star father after tearing up his dead son's picture, BushCo invites the bastards to the WH! Keith (and Jon Stewart) need to be perstered to make a big deal about this.

3. I have found the people who join hate groups
were unacceptable by the majority of their acquantainces all their lives. After the joined hate groups, such misfits as they were already there. Just remember they say like draws like. So these people are drawn to bush because he has been a piece of crap, no body would ever had associated with, if his daddy hadn't had money and power. So he knows what they are and he associates with them. They wouldn't be able to associate with normal people.

10. So will all the people that condemn the democrats
for their "reliance" on Moveon when Moveon just represents the fringe (Bill O'Reiley) now turn their attention to Bush's whoring to the fringe? Thought not.

11. True, but think of it this way: Bush has been reduced to hanging out with Freepers
Think on that and smile, then laugh, then fall on the floor and ROFL. Bush - perhaps the only man on earth who could turn a 90% approval rating into a Freeper picnic on the White House lawn.
