Threads that attract Freeper Sleepers

[Sandpiper]

Some of them do a better job hiding it than others, but we all know that there are closet freepers registered at DU. So what I'm wondering is, what thread subjects seem to draw them out the most?

From my own experience I'd say:

Threads on global warming

Threads on gun control


What about the rest of you?

[havocmom]

1. Be a freeper's worst nightmare...

a liberal with a gun :D

[Spiffarino]

12. Yo!

:hi:

[havocmom]

19. Yao!

:evilgrin:

I made a sports personality pun! My husband would be so proud (AND surprised!)

[Spiffarino]

21. Can I write check?

Oh, very good. Hubby should give extra hugs for that one.

[Liberty Belle]

2. ACLU, Christmas displays and abortion riles them all up.

[Old Mouse]

3. Anything that turns us against each other

Bev Harris
John Kerry

and I think it's now a little more organized than freepers

[havocmom]

20. Waiter, a bottle of your best champaign for Old Mouse, if you please!

Here's to you, my astute fellow traveler :toast:

[Old Mouse]

23. I'll take that drink

I was about ready to give up on DU!

[havocmom]

24. Don't give up. It is what they want you to do. Need people like you.

I was there not so long ago, but got my dander up when the credentials of some members I have read much from started getting questioned by a pack of lock step 'more liberal than thou' thought police around here.

Decided I was tired of them shitting where I live. ;)

[leftyandproud]

30. yep. *NT*

[NIGHT TRIPPER]

4. alot of them with over 1000 posts too

Israel/Palestinian posts--brings 'm out like flies on honey

Anything about the troops posts--a good one

[Padme Amidala]

5. The freepers support Gonzales and the DLC and hate Kucinich

When you see the attacks on Kucinich or support for Gonzales and the DLC, you know you are dealing with a freeper. The freepers are bragging that they have moderators at DU. The freeper problem is being widely discussed in some of the yahoo groups. The moderators of the yahoo groups are pretty good at screening freepers so there is less friction in most of those groups.

[quaoar]

41. Moderators???

I find that hard to believe.

[Razorback_Democrat]

43. The DLC?

now that's stretching it a little don't you think.

[NoPasaran]

I think it's possible to support the DLC

Or criticize Kucinich without being a freeper. Who is supporting Torture Memo Gonzales?

[Razorback_Democrat]

46. I agree n/t

[okieinpain]

47. I don't hate kucinich, but there is no way he could win the presidency

america is too stupid to pick somebody worth a damn.

[tabasco]

6. Anything to do with the Clintons.

Like moths to a flame. They have been so conditioned by hate radio it is a funny thing to see.

[B Calm]

36. I agree!! Any mention of President Clinton and they are attracted

[wabeewoman]

7. Anything that makes them

worry what we're saying about bush or his cronies might be true brings them out of the woodwork. I remember vividly the " I was against the war too but now that its started, we should all get behind it." threads. Iraq, abortion, homosexuals. Whatever the radio wingnuts are ranting over....Some are under some pretty deep cover and some I thought were freepers have turned into decent posters so who really knows what 'lurks in the heart' of freepers and former freepers.

[Minstrel Boy]

8. threads on torture of prisoners and war crimes

They just can't help themselves.

[Niche]

9. They're working in 3s. Watch the threads...

A (1 freep) - topic (1st - posts sh*t)
B (2 freep) - counter A line.
C (3 freeps)- feeds into B line and gets everyone to forget A line and fight amongsst selves.


They're everywhere, Cable news is a big topic with them. And they like talking about themselves... oh and BBV is completely ruined by the SPIN.

Just a completely different place than 6 months ago.

[Old Mouse]

22. Brilliant!!! n/t

[Mist]

26. I tend to avoid threads that have 2 or 3 posters

with VERY low post counts talking to each other, and not a single long-time poster weighing in.

[Razorback_Democrat]

44. You might be missing a lot

you assume that only high posting members have anything relevant to say?

[mmonk]

35. Agree

especially concerning BBV.

[izzie]

10. I know lots of Dem who own guns but-----

most do not seem to like to shot people. Some do like to shot at animals. 'Far rights' seem to like sites about the killing of people so guess that would turn them on. They also do not seem to like moral questions that can not fit into a black and white answer either. One of the reasons they seem to like Bush. He tells them he is right and their is no question and it is OK with them. If you say hay wait a minute you are un-American. Even if your wrong it is OK if you are sure about some thing. I am always worried about falling off the edge of the world to be frank with you.

[AnIndependentTexan]

11. Try ones with Bush is the anti-christ

[Spiffarino]

14. Reply

OK!

[wtmusic]

13. Anything about inbreeding, farting, or drooling

seems to strike a chord

[arwalden]

15. Abortion, Gays, Stem Cells, Religion

[Placebo]

16. This thread will likely be locked, or erased.

Threads on this topic always seem to. *sigh*

[vinnievin777]

17. I am like a magnet

for Freeper insults. They post some crazy things about me on every board from craigs list to madkane.
They have nothing better to do.

18. Threads about the confederate flag draws them like flies to dog shit.

Then I tell 'em the confederate flag is the SAME THING as the Nazi flag, because it IS. Boom! Heads expode. :D

[Old Mouse]

27. Hey Swamp Rat

Blow a couple of heads for me next time.

[Swamp Rat]

28. Ta da!

[yurbud]

25. How about GOP gays in the closet?

that has a nice twofer effect--draws their attention, and gets the religious nuts pissed off at that those in the party who are good at reading and writing and shit.

[BernieBear]

29. Rapture

[VaYallaDawg]

31. Religion.

Especially anything that gets going on Allah vs. "God".

[mogster]

32. Foreigners ;-) n/t

[Must_B_Free]

33. Jeepers Creepers! We're Knee Deep in Peeping Freeper Sleepers!

[JNelson6563]

34. I find them hard to tell apart from DLC plants

;-)

[mmonk]

37. I agree with that one!

The DLC is a threat within to drive liberal ideas out (watch this thread and see).

[BikeWriter]

38. Well, uh, I have to check the temperature in my gun safe...

...then I'll get back to you on that.

[Flagg]

39. It's my exprerience that evry thread related with France or French history

is a real magnet for freepers.

[cattleman22]

40. Why do you think that gun control threads attract freepers? Can't

dems have varrying opinions on this topic?

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

42. I've noticed that threads on the evils of Wal-Mart are just as effective

as the ones you listed.
For some reason, they can't stay away from the Wal-Mart bashing threads, and always rise to the defense of Wal-Mart.

[Mandate My Ass]

45. Michael Moore and F9/11....oh, and presidential blowjobs, war crimes

to name but three.

[DemExpat]

48. Locking

Threads such as this one never provide productive discussion, are often inflammatory and rouse suspicion of DUers.
