The real Freeper Lounge (not very interesting)

[Bossy Monkey]

The very funny thread featuring DUers riffing on what a Freeper Lounge would be like suggests that folks might want to see the real thing, rather in the spirit of not being able to look away from a traffic accident. FR tends to decry vanity posts (ie, 90% of what we post in the Lounge) so they don't have too much of this kind of stuff. Also, as we say frequently, their boards aren't exactly organized to be user-friendly. However, I was trying to look up on the 'net what Solzhenitsyn has been up to lately (answer: not a lot) and happened across a Freeper reading club post (I am not making this up: http://209.157.64.200/focus/f-news/974385/posts Why the odd URL? Dunno) and it fell under the topics Announcements and Miscellaneous, which appear to be as close as Freeperland gets to being Lounge-like.

Here's Announcements:
http://209.157.64.200/focus/f-news/t-announcements/browse
Here's Miscellaneous:
http://209.157.64.200/focus/f-news/t-misc/browse
leading off with day 1090 of praying for Bush and including dire warnings about that dangerous Marxist Jimmy Carter.

Here are marked vanity threads: http://209.157.64.200/focus/f-news/search?s=vanity&ok=Search&q=quick&m=any&o=score&SX=3f67a4ab8628988bde93dbf243282c6848229ca4
To be slightly fair, they are as nice to each other as we are when somebody loses a family member.

Hey, not a bit of this is funny. If anybody doesn't want to see FR crap on this board, I completely understand. I won't mind a bit if mods take this down or move it to the Conservatives board; feel free to turn in an alert. Just thought some might find it interesting.

1. Of course Freepers would invoke God to Damn Bill Clinton

because that's Just the kind of loving sons of b%$##es they are.

"Dear Loving Jesus...Let me praise your name and live in your glory as I dredge up all my hatred for Bill Clinton. I hope he is killed in a plane wreck. I hope his wife is with him. I hope his daughter gets knocked up. I do this in your loving name. Because of all the teachings I hold dearest my heart is to pray for the painful death of my political enemies just like You taught me. If it falls outside of my reasoning then it must be reviled, and feared. This is the word of the Lord."

"Amen."

"PS. God Bless Bush and Cheney and Rumsfeld and Halliburton and Enron and Middle Class and Rich White Conservative Christians everywhere"
