Freeper laments "sad day for free republic" regarding OBL news
LOL, this is classic stuff!

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2714112/posts


"Yesterday should have been a glorious day around here. There should have been fireworks and celebration. There should have been somber remembrances. There should have been patriotic tributes. There should have been shared joy at the news that our guys had finally gotten Bin Laden.

Instead, when I visited the site, what I found was a lot of carping. I found people focused more on the political spin than on the great news. I found people transferring their birther mentality onto this event, talking about Obama faking this news, photoshopping information, etc. It wasn't everybody, but it was a LOT of people. It made me sick.

Yesterday Free Republic seemed like DU. It makes me wonder what the hell is going on. Are Freepers getting younger? I always assume that DU is so pathetically immature because they must be younger. Free Republic has always been a place dominated by great class, and wit, and decency. Not this time. What I saw yesterday was a pathetic embarrassment and totally unworthy of this great forum."


It gets better, to read the whole thing go to the link!

Ruh-roh-raggy, it looks like someone from a parallel universe has become stuck in ours.

Even I'm not that delusional about DU here. It sounds like the Algonquin Round Table! :rofl:

(but then again, the round table was packed with assholes, so...)

13. Actually You Might be Right
That kind of thing never occurs to me, but it doesn't sound like the words a Freeper would use to praise the site.

If that is true, it would have been a clever way of rubbing their noses in their own shit.

9. WTF is this?
Is Being a Born Citizen of the United States of Sufficient Citizenship Status to be President of the United States and Commander in Chief of Our Military? The Founders and Framers Emphatically Decided It Was Not! http://puzo1.blogspot.com/2010/09/is-being-born-citizen-of-united-states.html

:crazy: I really think some of these people are going to hurt themselves trying to come up with new reasons why Obama shouldn't be president

10. What, the last two dozen people that actually post there are the dregs?
Probably.

After so many purges, RimJob's revenue stream must be mighty thin...nothing left but birthers, worshippers of
Palin, and racists.

12. They were schizophrenic over there yesterday.
Couldn't decide what to rant about:

a/ Obama did something meaningless, wrong, bad, illegal, etc.

b/ It was the best thing ever, but Bush is responsible.

One of them said that Obama inherited the operation from Bush. Funny how none of them EVER acknowledges that Obama inherited a bad economy from Bush.

World according to Freeperville....

Clinton term: booming economy and jobs - Bush 41 and Reagan responsible.

Bush term: 9/11 - Clinton's fault, tanking economy, all time low job rate - Clintons fault...to become Obama's fault.

Obama kills OBL: Bush responsible.

If the economy/jobs improve big time, they'll claim that Bush's policies finally kicked in!!!

15. Hate to tell him but we aren't a bunch of youngsters.
I've seen the polls here and I am very much a typical DUer in my fifties. It's that lame old saying that never dies....'you're a liberal until you get older and more mature, then you become a conservative.' Believe me, a conservative made that one up, lol.

So the hypocrisy was apparent at the FR yesterday? How surprising. :sarcasm: It must have been really bad for them to notice it themselves.

17. Thought it was the other way around - young = conservative, not thinking for yourself.
Older= liberal and learning to think for yourself.

24. It doesn't matter, really
I mean, do you respect the opinion of anyone who inhabits that place?

In the words of Molly Ivins, it's "like being gummed by a newt."

28. Are you kidding?
Anyone who visits the Free Republic thinking there is any kind of valuable information or philosophy there is a moral reprobate. Still, it's amusing to see how propagandized they all are with their rightwing talking points. Well, on second thought, it's actually sad. For them and for our country.

18. Freepers' wettest wet-dream fantasies possible about "getting" OBL
Would happen instead in 2014, with an armed to the teeth, face-blackened, bowie knife in her mouth, POTUS Palin leading the covert operation in person, then having pictures taken posing with his body hung by his feet, like a trophy class caribou, after she personally field-dressed OBL, and then later stuck his decapitated head on a pike at Ground Zero in NYC. But alas it can never happen now. It wasn't "their" guy or gal, and I can understand that.

It is how these people think, most if not all being sociopathic at best.

25. That reads like something from a deeply-embedded troll
Too grammatical for a real fweeper. "class, wit and decency" from these mouth-breathing knuckle-draggers? Umm, I think not. :rofl: :spray:

27. DU would have been pretty rough if Bush "got him"
People here accuse Obama of defrosting Bin Laden. Just imagine what they would say about Bush.
