FR plans to "gloat and torment the left" 11/2 - OH BROTHER!
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2604362/posts#comment

LOL just a little extra incentive to GOTV! Cuz I think these peeps might not be in such high spirits after all the Teabaggers get BAGGED!

:eyes:


Where do folks think they will go to gloat and torment the Left on Election evening?

DU and Kos police their places pretty well, especially around elections, and hit and run insults that will soon be deleted are no fun. I remember indymedia.org was a pretty free wheeling place with lots of despairing lefties and no moderators in 2004, but pretty much a ghost town lately.

Huffington Post gives conservatives a fairly long leash and a lot of angry lefties that will rise to the bait, but if you piss off enough people you will get your account suspended. This has happened to me twice before.

The New York Times forums are full of arrogant liberals who are amazingly ill-informed. It can be lonely to be a conservative there. Threading and bookmarking is poor. I prefer the Washington PPost

2. Helluva 'social life' these pinheads have got!
Spooging themselves over the prospect of trolling internet discussion boards after the election? Even if teabaggers were able to somehow get elected, nothing would change for these freaks of nature. They'd still be overfed, basement-dwelling baby hueys tippy-tapping out their screed with Cheeto-stained fingers. They have no more connection with the 'real world' than if they were rooting for teams in a fantasy football league. Back under the bridge with ye, and stop bothering those billy goats gruff!

3. Takes me a bit to prep for a visit to la la land
And after reading a few OP and comments I can't believe in live in a country with these fuckwads? Who are they? I don't know anyone that screwed up. I've met pukes and raging evangelicals but, some of those posters are really in serious need of mental health.

4. Many of them feel that "mental health" is some sort of leftist plot to "get"
Edited on Sat Oct-09-10 05:55 AM by old mark
RWers...maybe because so many of them have been diagnosed with some problem or other and they don't like it...

7. I have to admit I am addicted to FR
Edited on Sat Oct-09-10 12:13 PM by K8-EEE
I also don't know anybody like these people and I find them kind of fascinating in a carwreck kind of way. I've got my fave posters and my fave subjects. I never get tired of anything re: LDS v. Evangelicals! Theological discussions from a RW/absolutist point of view, are like crazy v. crazy X10. Typically some in the bag sounding freeper will go off on "magic underwear" or "Mary knowing God as Man" or something like that and it just goes on from there. It's kind of amazing. I'll admit I've lived in L.A. all my life and I don't know anybody who really thinks in these terms, even religious people or Republicans.

For all of you that live in places surrounded by these kind of people, hats off to you guys, seriously! I don't know how you remain sane, all you libs out in freeper land.

10. Middle-aged men with the emotional maturity of a 13yo.
The same people that think references to bodily functions is HILARIOUS and feel the need to be macho posturers.

8. This crap makes me angry
Because of my low post count here and being without a donor star, not only am I considered a troll but I'm sometimes treated as if I'm invisible and I'm ignored. I understand.

Those assholes over there make it hard for me and everyone else to be a part of this community all because they think it's funny. It's not.

I am trying little by little to fit in. Their damn elementary school funnies make me sick.

I only came here to post about window tint. Yeah. I am serious. But I can't yet because I have to donate. I will when I can afford to. I'd rather fit in first before I donate.

With every post I make, I'm slowly starting to be accepted. I didn't know you had to be a donor to post in certain groups.

When someone from over there writes this shit, it sets me back automatically. They can choke on their games.

11. The way to have the last laugh is to work hard between now and Nov. 2nd. We can burst their bubble
Clowns like them are becoming more irrelevant with each passing year and election cycle. Time and demographics are not on their side. They may be enjoying a brief moment in the sun, but it won't last. The best thing we can do is work to ensure Republican/TP defeat wherever possible. Defeat is the surest means to discredit them, and for the good of our country it needs to happen sooner rather than later.
