What makes a Freeper?

[Terwilliger]

Now, obviously, one is a "freeper" if he posts at Free Republic. That's what they call themselves (I don't know what FR readers call themselves, but there are many here at DU)

What makes a freeper a "small f" freeper? What is it about them that we don't like? Is it the fact that they're Republicans? Is it the fact that they're conservative? Is it the fact that they're (dumb/stupid/evil/childish/moranic) idiots? Or is that the easy label for all of them collectively?

Do freepers have to post at Free Republic to be freepers? Can non-online people be considered freepers? What's the criteria?

1. technically yes and nontechnically no

Some people say in their thread titles "freeper and I" so I read its a non freeper. I call the right wingers I deal with all kinds of things: nutheads, right wing shills, stupid morons, moralist jerks.

2. A person brainwashed by the reich media machine.

Has signed copies of Ann 'The Man' Coulters books and listens to Rush every day for their dose of dittos.

A willingness to spout back the crap they hear from these people without actually having any clue helps too.

3. To me a freeper is a denizon of FR.

As opposed to just a regular Repuke.

4. I'm not 100% sure

After extensive study, I still haven't quite figured out whether the second lobotomy is complimentary or obligatory, but the multiple forehead scars are usually enough to identify a Freeper or a freeper mentality for me.

5. Bad parenting

and no education.

6. What makes a Freeper?

A belief that multiculturalism and liberalism will ultimately destroy the US.

If it were up to them, they would prefer to have a monocultural society like Japan.

In Michael MooreÕs movie, Charlton Heston uttered IN PUBLIC what these people (Freepers) think in private.

And that is, America would have less crime and a better quality of life if it didnÕt
have black or brown citizens.

7. You pour into a bowl...

1 part "rugged individualist" fantasies
2 parts superiority complex
2 parts delusions of victimhood
1 part easily gullible personality
3 parts willingness to listen to only political "flattery"
2 parts living in one's parents basement, while working at the local True Value, or Kinko's.

fold all ingredients together, while sprinkling sound bite seasoning in mixture. Pour into a '75-79 Camaro, Maverick or Silverado skillet and simmer over medium heat until it comes to a boil.

Serve over Netscape or Explorer hot.

Enjoy!

8. I view "freepers" as anti-democratic party

Constantly bitching and loudly advertising their opposition to anything democratic party. I accept critisisms of the "d" party but when I see nothing but critisisms from an individual, I presume them to be freepers or at least freeperlike. I hope this helps your definition, Terwilliger.

9. "What makes a Freeper?"

One part "dip."
Three parts "shit."

Or,

Three parts "fuck."
One part "wad."
