DUers, you have been insulted!
I occasionally wander over to freeperville to see what the wacko's are whining about - know thy enemy right? Posted top center is a story and link to site a named CFP (Canada Free Press). Top center of that site is a story posted 11/4/07 that exemplifies the rage, fear, and stupidity of the right in such obvious fashion that no insult I could toss back does justice better than the case the writer makes for herself. Click on the Bio and then the website of said author and.....surprise! Mind numbing hysteria for the masses, couched in religious propaganda.

I really pondered if I should post this garbage, but dear DUers; she insulted my friends! I've heard light is the best disinfectant. Just trying to air things out a bit. If you want a crash course into understanding what makes some right wing wackos tick - follow the link. It is both sick and silly.

How would you respond to such insane ramblings...if at all? :shrug:

To quote:


<snip>

Middle America wants nothing to do with the far left ideology. Visit the websites where Democrats gather. You will find rude people who despise everything and everyone but themselves. They are socially inadequate, deeply afflicted and loathsome. They have deliberately chosen to embrace the angst they feel against their fellow countrymen and country.

Progressives feel comfortable with contempt and other negative emotions. The comedian and political pundit Bill Maher is not funny or amusing. We are told that he has talent by those in “The Biz.” Maher simply displays his own naturally putrid personality. Those who post on the Daily Kos: State of the Nation, are of the same caliber of people.

1. Who cares - this line is funny though:
"They are socially inadequate, deeply afflicted and loathsome."


:rofl:

15. Followed by--
a grotesque misuse of the word "Angst" (which is related to anxiety, not anger and doesn't take an object), and a projection of their "negative emotions" onto us.

2. Great case of projection...
I would expect nothing more from them ~ it's not worth bothering with imo.

3. They never get Bill Maher right, do they?
The guy's a Libertarian, not a progressive.
He just happens to hate this Administration as much as most of us do.

4. Anyone who says “The Biz” clearly doesn't know anyone who is in "the biz."

7. Progressive causes such as workers rights, universal healthcare, preventing global warming
Edited on Mon Nov-05-07 02:40 PM by LSK
They all BENEFIT EVERYONE. Thats the difference. The causes that we champion actually benefit the freepers who denounce us.

Republicans are the party of ME ME ME. Democrats are the party of WE.

11. It's not usually possible to respond to someone who is not listening to you.
I'd make a really good sandwich and share it with my dog. :)

12. CFP is crap, has no credibility and is the rabid right wing of Canada's version of
rabid right-wing blogs in the US. My advice is don't even acknowledge this piece of crap, Canadians don't.

22. Assuming that's actually 'her' photo, she's batshit crazy - a skull filled with maggots.
:shrug: Anyone can claim to be anything on the internet. Judging from that disconnected, delusional screed, I wouldn't believe a damned thing 'she' said or depicted. Whomever wrote it is pathological, imho.

17. pfft. . They are like the bandar-log in the Jungle Book
"They are very many, evil, dirty, shameless, and they desire, if they have any fixed desire, to be noticed by the Jungle People. But we do not notice them even when they throw nuts and filth on our heads."

20. Gosh, if you substituted Ann Coulter for Bill Maher, I'd swear the writer
was talking about Republicans. :shrug:

Socially inadequate, deeply afflicted, and loathsome: that's the GOP, for certain.
