My opinion: DUers spend too much time discussing Free Republic.

[CanuckAmok]

Fuck those nazi morans. Why give them anything even remotely resembling attention?

I'd rather talk about cars, or Gary Numan, or, even, god forbid, the Progressive Ideal, here on DU. If I want to contemplate FR, I'll stare deeply into a steaming pile of cat crap.

Maybe I'm being too subtle. What I mean to say is Free Republic and its hate-fuelled, ignorant, salivating, inbred membership isn't worth your time.


on edit: I can't be expected to spell correctly when I'm this cranky!

[prolesunited]

1. Couldn't have said it better myself.

:yourock:

[La_Serpiente]

2. Amen!!! (trying to be like HolyJoe)

anyhow, yes, I could care less about Free Republic. :-)

[Booberdawg]

3. I don't read there or the links that are posted here

I'm not interested in what they say or do. They can BITE ME.

[ornotna]

4. I agree..

I don't give a rat fart about those mouth breathers.

[rbnyc]

5. I agree.

And they spend too much time talking about us, too.

[madrchsod]

6. i agree

if i want to go to the right ,i go all the way-"stormfront"- nothing like real nazis...

7. 2 reasons

1 - know thy enemy

2 - it's piss funny

[CanuckAmok]

10. I guess, but...

Here's the enemy (I'll save you hours of clicking and posting...):

DU Member #1: Did you hear what FR/Rush said?!

DU Member #2: No...

DU Member #1: Something ignorant, reactionary, inflammatory, racially-motivated, homophobic and cruel, and seemingly appealing to the sensibilities of real, working, poor Americans, but actually designed to perpetuate the rule of the US by rich, lazy, Americans and corporate intetests.

DU Member #2: No way! Those losers!

DU Member #3: Yeah, those guys are losers!

DU Member #4: I think they're losers, too!

DU Member #5: (Tombstoned FR Troll)

DU Member #2: See ya, Freeper!

DU Member #4: What did he say?

DU Member #1: Don't let those guys distract you--, my post is about the "ignorant, reactionary, inflammatory, racially-motivated, homophobic and cruel, and seemingly appealing to the sensibilities of real, working, poor Americans, but actually designed to perpetuate the rule of the US by rich, lazy, Americans and corporate intetests" thing I read on FR/heard on Rush's show. Here's the link:


(and so on...)

8. I know, but

I still think we gotta keep an eye on those losers. While it gets harder and harder for me to stomach that vile site, I confess I still visit there occasionally for recon purposes. I honestly don't give a crap what they think about me or DU, I just think it's a good idea to know what the enemy is up to.

you said:
If I want to contemplate FR, I'll stare deeply into a steaming pile of cat crap.

LOL! I gotta hand it to you on that one... GREAT analogy!

[SOteric]

9. I'm pretty certain I never have.

[Kenneth ken]

11. agreed n/t

[youngred]

12. and Limpballs, and Boortz, and Coulter and their ilk

let the fuckers spew, do we really need that many threads about these assholes?

[xcentrik]

13. Hear! Hear!

It never ceases to amaze me that so many of our fine folks spend so much time reviewing their postings, listening to Rush, etc., rather than doing something more pleasurable, like, oh, I dunno, yanking out their nose hairs with pliers.

[Bill McBlueState]

14. as someone who

spends a lot of time staring at piles of cat crap, I think the choice is obvious. Cat Crap, game, set, and match.

15. Know your enemy.

It's as simple as that.
Free Republic
Lucianne.com
Rush
Hannity
Coulter

Rest assured, they consider us the "enemy" and one of these days, they will start taking extreme measures to get rid of their "enemy".
Coulter is already calling for the death of liberals, remember.
They consider this a war against liberalism. And we would be well advised to pay attention to what they do.

[CanuckAmok]

16. Sure, but if their game plan changes, then maybe

...it's worth noting. But it never changes, and they never say anything different. Nevertheless, it keeps making headlines at DU.

It wouldn't surprise me if half of ClearChannel's ratings come from Liberals tuning in for ironic reasons, or to 'know the enemy'. Same with FR's bandwidth.

We're supporting them, by listening to them, no matter our intention.

[Djinn]

17. agree with you on posting

I'll occasionally have a scroll thru Freepland but I wouldnt normally then post it here - it would need to be news not just an offensive rant and one that WASNT already posted in various sections here
