What is a "freeper"?

[galadrium]

OK, I know it is a pejorative term for a conservative, but where was this term derived from?
Sorry I hear this term all the time on DU and wanted a more complete definition... thanks!

2. Freepers are, strictly speaking, posters on this website

<http://www.freerepublic.com/>

Read a few posts and you will probably get the idea...informally, the term 'freeper' is extended to anyone who shares these beliefs.

4. This is what posters on the Freerepublic.com

site collectively call themselves. That site is sort of the nemesis of this one, and attracts a rather stupid group of posters/followers.

5. FREE REPublic.com, "premier conservative news forum", they call it. n/t

6. a sexually impotent man with a small penis

who compensates for this by nurturing delusions of grandious military conquests, in which he will never participate, but only cheer on with other sexually impotent, small-dicked men...

in short, a brown-shirt fasicst...

7. Originated at "Free Republic"

Rush Limbaugh brainwashed "conservative" type, in total LOVE with Bush and Ann Coulter, (yech!) and fond of blaming anything and everything that goes wrong on Bill Clinton's penis and "the liberals."

They are posters at our rival message board, "Free Republic."

14. Wow, Freepers are "deep"...

Half of them are calling for the total demilitarization of the population of Iraq (going through each and every neighborhood and taking away their guns).

The other half is advocating the opposite -- giving guns out to the law-abiding population and showing them how to use the weapons.

Now which do you suppose is the better idea??!

:wtf:

15. Well i had a chance to look in detail at Freerepublic

and the forum is set up so stupid that I no sane person would even try to follow that crap... oh well... thanks for the info folks.
