Are there loads of posts saying 'look what those crazy EvilDuers think! This guy thinks Al Gore won the election'

Yeah, I'm being ironic.

1. No - they're too busy blaming Klintoon and Hitlery
Yes, there are occasional threads there. But generally, they have been ordered not to link to here or mention us. JimRob apparently thinks his people might get brainwashed by our propaganda.

If this is some sort of indictment on those of us who enjoy posting about them... too bad. I've been lurking there since before I joined DU. It gives me a few good laughs, and it KEEPS ME FRICKIN' PISSED OFF! Which I need every now and then.

Cheers!

3. I know, I was just commenting on yesterday's slew of FR threads.

We do get pretty obsessed about Free Republic sometimes. I'm guilty of that, too.

2. All the time, actually
Rat.

You like being called a RAT?

A traitor? A DUmmy?

A Saddam-lover?

A Stalinist, Leninist, Marxist idiot?



Those are usually the milder descriptives for DU.

4. I don't really concern myself with Der FreiRepublikkk.
However, I can understand the fact that a lot of DUers are interested in what's going on there. Personally, I'm usually not concerned with what they think. We know that they're not our intellectual equal. They don't have anything useful to say. Their opinions don't have any basis, so why bother with them???

It's like worrying what a gang of punk 12-year olds passing you on the street think of you if they give you some cock-eyed glare. It's best not to concern yourself with it, because the party in question is below you in every way. And besides, does it really matter if they think we're Satan's toejam??? There's no value of anything that comes from their filthy mouths.

6. That's what I'm getting at Padraig. We're addicted to that stuff.

20. Know your enemy
It's also a barrel of laughs when they get to infighting.

7. Why would Frank Robinson care what happens here?
The man's a major league manager, I hope that he has other things to do.

8. Their too busy shining their guns, waiting for the minorities to get too
uppity so they could start their revolution all under the warm loving glow of Jesus Christ.

That or making sure their fritos don't muss up the keyboards.

10. I've never visited that site
I've gone to links for specific posts, but I've never actually typed in their URL and visited.

It's too ugly and confusing to navigate.

13. They don't talk about us as much
as we talk about them. I'm not sure they're even allowed to start threads about DU. But you can bet they lurk over here in numbers.

14. That's what I'm getting at. We talk, they lurk.
We talk about them way more than they do, they lurk and disrupt way more than we do.

19. Don't know, don't care

There is food that causes diarrhea. There is diarrhea itself. There is microscopic bacteria that lives in diarrhea. And there are freepers. 'Nuff said!
