How quick they turn on their own. Freepers on Buchanan.

[a_random_joel]

I have seen them turn on so many - Tucker Carlson, Trent Lott, even Novakula. They are a disloyal bunch; no questions, no dissent. This would be joyful reading if, as much as I hate to say it, Mr. Buchanan wasn't so correct about this particular issue.

1. Sometimes it seems we do the same...

Not so much in GD, but I've seen us turn against:
Al Gore
James Carville
Paul Begala
Mediawhoresonline
Hillary
And especially "any Dem candidate that I don't support".

Btw, I agree with you on the Buchanan piece (though he's peddling the "Bush was duped" line).

3. Whats bothering me is some on DU turning on the soldiers

statements like "oh they signed up so too bad "
I had to log off to control my temper.

2. I kinda liked the term 'paleoconservative'

..used by one Freeper in the thread to describe Buchanan.

4. Some of them caught on...

... to Pat's anti-Semitism though. They noted correctly that he blames just about everything on America's support for Israel and the Jews.

IMO, it's too bad that more people don't see the potential for anti-Semitism in "The Passion" ... a film that I'd imagine Pat will support 110%.

Ah well, maybe we will all just hang separately.

5. Freepers are a part of a dying breed

They are a part of the hold outs who still live in denial. Their numbers are dwindling as Americans see just what a fraud Bush is.

6. I agree!

No we just gotta get em outta the senate, house of reps, most gov's, and most importantly of all... The White House.

7. they are like those Japanese soldiers hiding on islands after WWII

the war was over, but they didn't know or care....

10. Yeah, but some of them didn't surrender til 1974!

8. do people actually donate money to that piece of shit site?

my freaking eyes are killing me after just a couple of minutes

9. One sees same syndrome at DU.

If a question or issue is raised which challenges the sensitivities of certain vocal, uber-self righteous members, one is likely to be immediately silenced, condemned, and all too often, disappeared.

It seems certain folks are incapable of ignoring posts they are incapable of challenging intelligently and dispassionately.
