Dumbest Freep of the day: "Iran Could Happen Here if the Liberals Push Us Too Far. Do You Agree?"

I was watching the unbelievable news coverage of Iran today, and it occurred to me that if the far left socialists keep rigging elections like they do and keep taking our freedoms away, Iran could happen here. Isn't that possible?

The liberals are terribly frightened by the Tea Party movement, but that's nothing compared to what could happen.

The cognitive dissonance is outstanding. The comments. Oh, the comments.

Here's my fave:

It would take a lot to get Americans to do what the Iranians have been doing.

We did it in 2000 to protest Gore's attempt to steal the election from GW; I'm sure that, if the situation arises, we would rise to even greater heights than we did in 2000. Don't underestimate the "Sleeping Giant".

What is this guy referring to, the Brooks Brothers riot?!

1. You should have read one of the LTTEs in my local weekly.

Started off with something like, When are we going to get the nerve to have a revolution, and overthrow our politicians...

He pretty much lost me from there. If I have patience, I'll go back and read it again tomorrow, and submit a counter LTTE. Mine will probably start out like - We did have our voices heard, just last fall when we changed leadership, and sent the GOP packing...

[zbdent]

31. write a response which points out that, under Bush43's rules, the original writer

would have been thrown into Gitmo for such talk ...

[NV Whino]

2. Yeah, I'm stocking up on rocks and heading to freepville

right fucking now.

[BlooInBloo]

3. Hoekstra, is that you?

[MichaelHarris]

4. In Mom and Pop's

basements across America a revolution is being born.

[Skittles]

5. if "Iran had happened here" when bush stole the 2000 election

look what grief we could have avoided

[NanceGreggs]

6. Cha, you know what?

I'm going to pretend that you made this whole thing up, that the post you've reproduced here is a sham - or originated on some satire site.

I just don't want to believe that there is anyone that stupid walking the planet.

That thought just scares the booboojeebies out of me ...

[mzteris]

7. "terribly frightened" ? ? ?

more like terribly amused. . .


:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:


Like everything else at freepville - it's an overblown pathetic attempt at posturing.

[dorkulon]

9. I know

The tea parties were pathetic and hilarious. Frightening? Uh, sorry, no.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

8. Eight years in charge.......

....fucking the vast majority of America including themselves, and they still don't get why we've had enough!!!!

[kevinbgoode]

18. They can't figure it out because they can't accept responsibility

and that is their biggest problem - and certainly one reason why the overwhelming number of Americans do not trust the GOP. These are the same people constantly screaming that others need to take "personal responsibility" and yet they are incapable of accepting any of their own - for anything.

They increasingly look like an out-of-touch bad joke with nothing but the same whiney fear-and-smear playbook that can't cover up the failures of the Right.

[Left Is Write]

10. Rigging elections and taking our freedoms away?

Is tonyome projecting just a teensy bit?

[dorkulon]

12. This is standard dogma for the Freepers now.

ACORN stole the election, Obama is shredding the constitution, etc.

It's such a mirror image of us in the Bush years that I'm beginning to doubt my sanity.

[EFerrari]

19. It's not a mirror image but a projection.

There is a mountain of evidence against Bush's "election" and not a shred against Obama.

[cyborg1966]

11. Here's a "local" version of The Freepers

If you want some more candidates for the far right-wing loony bin:

http://preview.tinyurl.com/lzjv6r

Biggest dead horses being flogged:

1. Obama is a socialist/Communist/Marxist
2. Obama is Kenyan/Indonesian/Malaysian
3. Obama is a secret Muslim
4. Obama should have never been elected
5. Michelle Obama has never been proud of her country
6. Democrats are responsible for five million (or whatever number) aborted babies
7. John McCain is a "RINO"
8. Sarah Palin is a "true conservative"
9. Obama never produced a valid birth certificate
10. Obama must resign and be prosecuted for electoral fraud
11. Only "conservatives" are "truly American"

There used to be more centrist/liberals who posted here, but the handful of fire-breathing right-wingers who pretty much run the board, and who the "moderators" rarely touch, have, I think, made them think "what's the use?" and just gave up.

Note: Many on this board cite DU as an example of the "loony left."

[katanalori]

25. EXACT same memes

as GretaWire blog! Van Sustren has attracted the same crowd. She must be so proud.

[rpannier]

13. I'll start worrying about them when

They get back their driver's licenses from their last DUI and if mom and dad let them borrow the car

[maynard]

14. Just read the posts on the Freeper link......

If that is the best and brightest on that web site, thank goodness they are in the minority. I just had a freeper friend e-mail me about the wrongs Iran did to the US during the hostage crisis. She forgot to address which side we were supposed to be on.

[Joe the Liberal]

15. LOL "The liberals are terribly frightened by the Tea Party movement"

:rofl: Sorry buddy but NO ONE was frightened of those idiot gatherings. A bunch of racist, dumbfuck, ignorant, homophobes who sit around all day and watch Faux news and listen to Limbaugh who finally managed to crawl out of the basement to go campaign for rich people is'nt terrifying in the least. :rofl:

[baldguy]

16. A conservative uprising? The word they're looking for is "Kristallnacht".

[EFerrari]

17. The world doesn't have enough Viagra to rouse THAT "sleeping giant".

:rofl:

[JI7]

20. their protests consist of murdering doctors, immigrants, minorities etc

because they hate them.

the iranians are fighting for more freedom. while they are protesting obama because he is black, they think he is muslim and not born here and whatever other hate they have .

[ElboRuum]

21. Dumbest Freep of the Day?

So you found the King of the Shitpile! Now go hose yourself off.

[vixengrl]

22. The liberals are terribly frightened by the Tea Party movement?

*Snerk*. That's so fucking cute!

You know, when people get sent, um, anthrax threats, or um, shoot women's health professionals, or I dunno, a Holocaust museum security guard, I just don't ever find myself saying "Oh please don't let it be a DU-poster!" I buy that there are some scary people on the right. No, I do. But the tea party movement?

No, not so scary. Just misguided and suffering from a real problem since posterboard doesn't have spell-check. Sleeping giants?

Adorable. Especially when they're sleeping, don't you think?

I think I'm going to "push" them by insisting on their freedom of speech, and maybe we'll let them have their guns a little longer. Then we'll keep trying to prop up capitalism with bailouts, and maybe even get paid back real fast by companies that seriously don't want the gov't on their backs and have rediscovered how to be all capitalist-y. I dunno. Something about mindfucking them with a desire to have a functioning government that benefits the majority of its citizens and yadda yadda yadda. Maybe we'll force affordable and accessable health care on them next.

Um--if the sleeping giant wakes--who wants to change it? Do we just shove a Fox News tit in its mouth, or what? I hate to hear giants cry.

[shadowknows69]

23. Oh, fucking bring it you cowards.

I'm terribly amused by the "tea baggers". I'm afraid I might accidentally run over one because my accelerator foot has a mind of its own sometimes.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

24. The problem is......

....it's pretty easy to miss a teabagger considering how sparsely populated their rallies are.

[shadowknows69]

26. Burn!

[madeline_con]

27. The thread diintegrates into random blather, commenting on the

demise of intelligence due to "public education" complacency preventing anyone getting up off their butt, speculation about a fart-in-a-windstorm protest if Obama wins in 2012, blah blah blah blah blah...

They have the attention spans of gnats, don't worry about anything but hot air eminating from their little corner of the interwebs.

[Sebastian Doyle]

28. "far left socialists keep rigging elections"???

We should BE so goddamned lucky :evilfrown:

[bowens43]

29. frighetend by their little tea parties?????

what color is the sky in this delusional idiot's wo

My encounters with freepers have shwon them to be nothing but a bunch of cowards who back down the moment you confront them.

[sendero]

30. Yes..

.... except it isn't the "liberals", it is the gov't allowing big business to systematically squeeze working Americans into poverty.

And that's mostly Republicans, although a disturbing number of Democrats have joined in.

One other difference? If Iranians were armed the way Americans are, the Basij would all be dead right now.

[piratefish08]

32. those racist boneheads can't organize a tea party, much less a movement......
