Check out our membership!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

Go to the Lobby, wait a couple of seconds, then hit refresh. We're getting a new member each second. OK, some are probably freepers, but it's still pretty amazing...

9. Okay, cool

I thought it might have to do with not being a paying (donating) subscriber.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

13. Nah...We love them

as long as they aren't rethugs!

[zone]

Welcome to DU, by the way!

[GardeningGal]

16. You now have a donor star

so you're a donating subscriber. Some other DU member may have donated in your name. It wasn't me, I've been hiding out because of the SOTU.

20. Good golly!

Must have been my witty retorts, but more likely it was Heidi. Has anyone seen her today? (Damn, and I just blew my cover as a cheap bastard, too...lol.)

[zone]

23. My syntax is bad

But I think you probably know what I mean (I'm a cheap bastard). Love you, Heidi. Can I crash on your couch for awhile?

15. They're kind of the Internet version of the neighborhood loser who lives

in his momma's basement at 34 years old, never bathes, doesn't have a job, and spends all of his time wanking to porn and bitching about how everyoe else has it so much better than him.

On summer evenings, he can be found hiding in a hedge, watching the other neighbors getting together for a BBQ, having fun and laughing together and enjoying life. He squats there in the hedge and mumbles all kinds of "sour grapes" insults about the neighbors to himself, but he can't help watching them anyway, because he's utterly eaten up with envy...though he'll deny it to the death.

That's what freepers are, and why so many of them read everything we say here, and try to crash the party as well.

5. I hope not!

They're rethuglican counterparts to DUers. I'd post their website URL, but I wouldn't want you to suffer nausea. ;-)

19. Freeper

1. 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."

Also spelled FReeper

Bill thinks that anyone who opposes President Bush should be thrown in jail. He's a total Freeper.


2. 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. A pseudo-conservative known correctly as a "neo-con" who likes to pretend they are conservative, but are actually a bunch of pro-corporate whores who worship the grandson of the nazi facilitator Prescott Bush. They are lead by Jim Robinson who, not unlike screaming liberals, will boot you from his site if you say anything wrong about El Presidente Jorge Bushy. Oh crap, we have another freeper stepford wife masterbating over bush.

14. in the past 2.5 hours - 200 or so new members

I checked in when I came home to read lbn. Just was in the lobby again and there were 200 (or more) new registerees. Wow. Even if most were freepers (why the need? scared?) again - Wow.

[Redstone]

18. See post #15 for "the freeper reason." Would you agree

with my asessment?

Redstone

[salin]

21. fits many, but per the high number of new registrees

don't think that accounts for a lot of them... numbers are just too high. Would guess we have a lot of folks who have read for a while (as I did) and finally need somewhere to comment/vent/ etc. Now that same scenario (have read and have to comment) could be the freepers described (and more than other freepers those of your description would seem to be more apt to have the time/energy to try to "take action" on behalf of their hero.
