Dumb question but what does "freeper" mean?

[yppahemnkm]

Obviously I'm new to this forum and I keep seeing the word "freeper" I assume it is a conservative, but I'm sure there is more to it.

Thanks for the info.

[Brightmore]

1. I'm also quite new here, but I think

it means a member of the conservative message board called http://www.FreeRepublic.com

[kahleefornia]

2. yes. They call us "DUmmies"

[TahitiNut]

15. The difference is that they call themselves "FReepers"!

If they were to act with the same integrity, they'd call us what we call ourselves: DUers. Thus, they show no integrity - only name-calling.

Just a little sarcastic drama....

7. Do ya ever wonder if that guy KNOWS

he's the poster child for dipshits?

hahaha I do.

[smartvoter]

16. There was an article out here about this. He was part of a group

that was mocking the Right Wing. It was a hysterical article. When the press tried to approach them, they yelled "liberal media" and really played it up. Maybe someone can point you to it.

24. ...and lacks the ability to spell or punctuate.

Though I have encountered a few that seemed to have a love affair with words. Sadly, they used so many words in so many ways, they fucked themselves up, and rarely knew what they meant when they were done. Just a bunch of words, strung together that sound lovely as a group of phrases--but didn't mean a damned thing.

5. Originally, someone who posts on Free Republic..

...a white supremacy site.

Now it has come to mean generally any rabid, drooling, gung-ho Republican type. The brownshirts of the Bush Regime.

9. Here's what the urban dictionary says...

1. Freeper

Right-wing political activist. So-called, because it is the nickname of the denizens of the ultra-right wing Web site FreeRepublic.com. Similar to "ditto-head."

2. Freeper

A member of the Free Republic internet forum. The term applies to both activist and non activist members.

The term was originally coined by Lucianne
Goldberg in 1998 when she posted there under the posting name, "Trixie".The Freepers went to a rally.
See also:
verb: to freep = activist activities
-to participate in a demonstration, letter writing, petitions, polls etc. Expressed in the form, "Freep that poll"
or "Freep that meeting" for example.

3. Freeper

someone who freeps a lot
to freep: fall asleep on the toilet in the middle of explosive diarea so your shit winds up touching your ass. Anti freeping medicine is available at your local farmacy in the hair products aisle.

Dude last night i cought Joe freeping in the guys bathroom.

13. 4. Someone who can't spell.

[jayctravis]

18. Can also be a verb...

"Freeping" a poll is when they flood it to skew to their preferences. We do the same thing; "DU this poll..."

[EstimatedProphet]

19. Well...no

Most of us, when we see a post saying DU this poll, go and vote once. Freepers, when they freep a poll, vote, then clear their cache so they can vote again, ad infinitum.
We're ethical. They're pigs.

[jayctravis]

22. Right but...

it can be a verb...

[eallen]

10. The irony is that freepers oppose freedom.

If you go read their website, the word "freedom" is bandied about like a team mascot. Everyone is for "freedom." They think they are fighting for "freedom." The banner ads frequently post the word prominently.

But. Whenever any issue of actual freedom arises, they are taking the lead against it. Gay marriage. Gay sex. Abortion. Contraception. Separation of chuch and state. Privacy rights. The cognitive dissonance would shut down any sane person.

11. The photo in post #4 will explain the term "moran."

:rofl:

[KyndCulture]

14. Yes and it's HUGH!!!11 really I'm tellin ya!

:rofl:


ahhh fun with freepers the home game, you too can play!

[Democrat 4 Ever]

17. 'frep - noun - from Satan's Language for Everyday Use.™

Someone who drinks the Kool Aid, , an excuslogists for Chimpy's administration, a "moran" who does not enjoy critical thinking, spelling abilities, any degree of allegiance to country, espouses love of party over nation, spreads hate not love, a sector of people who enjoys rigging elections, uses the bible and Christianity as an iron club against any and all detractors and reads Free Republic as if it is the Holy Grail. Hence - freeper.

20. What Freeper really means:

Here are three sites that discuss the problem of Freepers:

http://faculty.ncwc.edu/toconnor/428/428lect16.htm

http://www.mentalhelp.net/poc/view_doc.php/type/doc/id/419

Once you have read all three, you will know what a Freeper is.

[Tracyjo]

25. WOW

I clicked on every link. Reminded me of my school days. I think you may be right!

[PurgedVoter]

32. Yes it's scary, I mostly hold with the third, but ... nt

[leftofthedial]

21. It means "so full of shit"

that it ought to be pumped into Lake Ponchartrain

[Qanisqineq]

26. Welcome to DU!

:hi:

A freeper is someone that doesn't know his head from his ass. That's my definition.

[lpbk2713]

27. I would recommend against going to their website.

It's very crude and rudimentary. You might get a migraine trying to figure it out. The way it's put together makes it look like a grade school HTML class project put together on a short deadline.


And then there's the green-teeth, mouth-breathing knuckle-draggers who post there. You may have seen them in "Deliverance".


The whole experience is not for the faint at heart.

28. Welcome to Du..... curious name....
