Free Republic finally gets some "good" press.

Blame the morons, not the messenger

An unfortunate byproduct of George W. Bush's political strategy is that his success has depended on moving the base of the Republican Party down into a demographic that should by all rights be Democratic.

That's right, I'm talking about the moron vote.

This was best illustrated by that recent incident in Fallujah in which a cameraman caught on tape the shooting of an Iraqi prisoner by a U.S. Marine. The Marine apparently presumed the Iraqi was pretending to be dead for the purpose of preparing a later ambush. Now the Marine has been removed from duty and may be court-martialed.

Who do you blame for that sort of thing? If you're intelligent, you blame the commander in chief -- you know, that slick politician who when he first ran for the presidency promised he would never get U.S. soldiers into the type of nation- building boondoggle in which such incidents become inevitable.

But if you're a moron, you blame the cameraman.

To view the freeper's "disappointment" in response to their former "friend", Paul Mulshine, the author:

1. Ha. Here's a great post.

I'd like to think well of my species so I tend to think that shit like this has to come from an evil DU'er havin' fun. But there is no underestimating some people.....so:



"If this guy and his editor don't know how to spell moran, than they best be stop projecting they problems in wide circulation print.

And that folks, is where FR is at.

Last year Mulshine had a following on FR. No more purring over his great wit, and he gets nasty on the site.

3. Their responses just HAVE to be some kind of a joke...

The "Cleatus" factor is way too obvious. Perhaps I'm being too kind...

"I'm not famaliar with him, but Mulshine sounds to me like another one of the "conservatives" running around crying about "neocons." Clearly he opposes the war in Iraq and joins Michael Moore and other Bush-haters in their contempt for the President. Mr. Mulshine doesn't get it, and I wish he'd stop calling himself a conservative. He's probably too intellectual to be a true Republican anyway."
