Don't the Freepers know their name sounds like crap?

[m-jean03]

Freeper? Sounds like "Creep" mixed with "Frank Burns", only worse, like something slimy and godforsaken that crawls around and is sneaky. I was shocked to realize they actually referred to themselves as such.

DUer, on the other hand, has a solid, stately dignity, and of course it has the connotation of "do-er." DUers ARE Do-ers, and I'm proud to be one.:-)

1. Well...the other stuff that comes out of their mouths is crap...

...might as well have a crappy name, too. :-)

[m-jean03]

11. Good point!

Let's get them really mad...}(

[GOPisEvil]

19. Eh...that doesn't take much.

They pretty much start every day pissed off about something. Sad way to live, really.

[Droopy]

2. Freepers, creepers.

Yeah, I always thought that sounded like a rather derogatory name, too. And I was surprised when I learnes that they refer to themselves as such.

[trotsky]

3. I think it's hilarious they relish the label.

The thing I always think of, some DUer had a pic in their signature of a zombie-like Scooby Doo monster with the caption "Freeeperr... FREEEEPERRR". Cracks me up every time.

4. What exactly is the story about the word "freeper"?

I'm not too new her but I never figured it out or got around to asking anyone so far. What does it mean?

[GOPisEvil]

6. A member of freerepublic.com

The Detroit Free Press alwawys threw me off at first. www.freep.com

12. Democrat and Chronicle in Rochester, NY

Local newspaper

That one is pretty cool because locals call it the "D&C" which sounds like DNC :)

Cheesy, I know :P

[m-jean03]

7. Our antagonists.

The denizens of www.freerepublic.com, bastion of right-wing intolerance paranoia and warmongering.

[Most Rev. Jerry]

5. But, but

But they talk about God. Like I do. Then spew forth hatred and bile. Like I do. Then act sanctimonious while hiding the fact that they are perverts. Like I do!

Err, I mean, Glory! Glory! Glory! Glory!

[Droopy]

8. Glad you could come and visit us here at DU Jerry.

What made you decide to register? Are you looking for a mind expanding experience? Do you want to know what us Dems really think? Or are you trying to save our poor, lost souls?

[Most Rev. Jerry]

13. I'm glad you've engaged me, Droopy

Let's talk about your soul. Jesus® loves you, Droopy. Except for that He® hates you because you are an evil liberal. I'd like for you to subscribe to my newsletter so that you can learn about what a horrible person you, and about how my special version of sanctimonious religious fanaticism is the only way you can hope to have a future filled with blank stares and the inability to think.

17. Sorry Rev.

But I think I'm unreachable as far as your brand of Christianity goes. As a matter of fact I'm unreachable as far as any brand of Christianity goes. See http://www.churchofsatan.com/

Besides, all good Democrats know that Jesus was a liberal. I just think he was a mortal liberal.

[Most Rev. Jerry]

21. I knew it!

Satanists, all of you! A curse upon you!

No, no. Jesus was a man that respected the value of work and money, and of personal accountability. He never preached about helping the poor, in fact, he said screw the poor. And he said that money was a noble pursuit. And that we should judge our neighbors, and if we deem them to be evil, then we should hate them. And he said that if we don't convert every single person in the entire world to the new religion he was bent upon creating, then we'll all burn in Hell fire!

Clearly, you have no point of reference here!

[Droopy]

22. Hey

What about that "Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth" stuff. You aren't sounding too meek to me, Jerry. I actually think that you would find yourself at home with the Satanists. They're actually very libertarian in their teachings. Not too far off from you on the political scale.

[trotsky]

10. Welcome to DU, Jerry Fartwell!

You fat bastard, you!

[NightTrain]

14. Hey, rev:

If you have such an unwavering faith in God, how come it hasn't relieved you of that unsightly neck flab?

[Most Rev. Jerry]

15. The Lord spoke to me

and said let there be Applebees. And yay that Applebees shall be right across the street from your totally unironically named Liberty University. And let there cheesefries at this Applebees.

Thy Will be done.

[Bronco69]

18. Welcome to DU, Jerry!

By the way, that pic makes you look like you need a healthy dose of ExLax! :-)

[Most Rev. Jerry]

20. That would be evil

Bowel movements are evil, and I never practice them. Only the wicked move their bowels. So if I look impacted, it's only because Satan is trying to fool me into thinking that I need to do such vile acts.

[kitkatrose]

26. Hiya Jerry.

Why the **** won't you take me off your ******* mailing list. I've blocked your addresses, designate you as spam, and I STILL KEEP GETTING YOUR PUTRID MAIL!!!!! Leave me ALONE!!!!!!

[Most Rev. Jerry]

27. I have a brand new home study course

That can be yours for three easy payments of $39.95, from Liberty University. We've assembled the most hateful people we could find, and asked them how to use Jesus® as a means of making other people hate. Well, here it is!

How many can I put you down for?

[kitkatrose]

28. That's it. I'm subscribing you to horse porn.

Just don't use it to get off to, cuz that's illegal in most states. Except for Texas.

[swag]

9. The verb "to freep"

Freep (v.) - To orally consume santorum. See also "felch."

[camero]

16. The word freeper

gives me this image of Uncle Fester on steroids. Which is what most of the freepers are I presume.

[m-jean03]

23. And their website is darn ugly.

nt

[GOPisEvil]

24. That's why I don't read stuff that others post here.

I can't follow that stupid site very well. It's so poorly organized.

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

25. And then there are the POUFs

People in Operation Ultimate Freep, the insidious - sorry, typo - hilarious freeper infiltration plot detailed by Lord Byron.

These POUFters scheme to disrupt DU by posing as libruls and then unmasking - or "coming out" - when GWB wins in November.

That's akin to waiting on top of Sugarloaf Mountain for the spaceships to arrive.

[canuckagainstBush]

29. I've seen DU called "Dirty Underpants". n/t

[m-jean03]

30. Now that's telling us, isn't it?

Yeah, right... Telling us they haven't graduated elementary school, that is!:eyes:
