FREEPERS ARE CALLING UP AIR AMERICA POSING AS LIBERALS
Freepers are using Karl Rove tactics by E-Mailing and calling up Air America posing as Progressives or Liberals. They will first state they are liberals then state they rejoice when a American soldier gets killed in the battle field then go into a anti-Semitic diatribe. This how Freepers and others on the right want to portray the Liberal left as troop hating anti-Semites. This was discovered on right wing message boards. You should be aware of this...thank you!

1. I heard Randi talking about that caller! Somebody tell her. I don't know how to get on her board
but I know she reads it. That caller was an absolute lunatic, she knew something was weird, but she didn't quite say it must be a freakin freeper.

11. I heard the Freeper call Randi and it was obvious that he was a Zoid
She kept asking him what he was talking about and he just had that je ne c'est quoi voice that you hear on Zoid shows like Limp Pole and Savage.

He kept going on about how he hated the army in his neighborhood and she had to cut him off because he was so obnoxious. He sounded like some 58-year old divorced drunk from Ohio...

Now, would we?

21. I wouldn't waste my time.
Anyone who would do it is an a-hole with much-to-much time on their hands.

Right-Wing nuts condemn themselves quite well on their own just by speaking for themselves.

4. That happens all the time on cspan WJ each AM.
Even cspan says they've tried everything they know, and it still continues! All they have been able to do is have the screeners try to identify the frequent offenders, and screen them out.

37. It's been happening on C-Span for at least 20 years that I know about.
Wonder why they feel like they have to do that. It never happens the other way around--I've never heard someone I thought was a liberal posing as a conservative. Not saying it couldn't happen, but it's almost impossible to caricature a Freeper. They caricature themselves and don't even know it!

7. Well, they need to get a better script..
Because most of the AAR hosts and Malloy can peg them within about 10 seconds. After that it's like shooting fish in a barrel.

Anyone else find it funny that they have to call in and pretend they hate the troops? If liberals hated the troops there'd be no reason to fake it. :eyes: Fucking liars all.

30. Mike caught a good one a while back
This guy phones up and says he's in the military, protecting the country.

Mike asks him what he's doing and the guy says "I'm in North Korea, firing Patriotic missiles.

I almost drove off the road laughing.

9. Anytime a caller goes out of their way to inform the host that they are liberal
you can be reasonably sure they are NOT.

10. Ha ha they need to get a life! I am confident that Air America hosts can handle any of them. And
with their brain tied behind their back, which would put them on more even footing. Of course Air America hosts still have the advantage by far. You couldn't remove enough of their brain to make it a fair fight for one of them freepers.

15. Here you are.

It's after the fact, with a comedy bit and Randi's commentary. Priceless!

14. I heard that Freeper on Randi last week. He just sounded like Fred Phelps
He certainly did not do any harm to the Progressive movement. It was like he was making the call from a pay phone in a locked psychiatric hospital.

22. I found it on Usenet!
Because Usenet is old and obsolete, hardly nobody goes there. Right wing operatives go there to communicate with each other. On a sight called: alt.troll there were a tread called: liberal flaming. Freepers told each other about the plot. Strangely enough, that thread has been deleted. You can access Usenet by going to http://groups.google.com/.

Be vigilant my friends

Just give callers a quick spelling test.

28. Do you have link to the website that is promoting this?
By the way, I did hear the Randi Rhodes caller and figured he was a neocon nutjub spammer.

31. He couldn't have been anything else
Unless he was too high to be anything.

He had no answer for anything. Freepers have no concept of logic, but they do have ridiculous answers when you question their ridiculous premises.

32. That made me worry about Randi's safety that guy was such a nut
and went after her for being Jewish and former military. He was such a weirdo he might actually consider himself a radical liberal. There is a point when you go so far to the left that you are in crazyland. (Of course that's just my opinion). If you go far enough to the left you go into totalitarianism. This might be where he was coming from. It was hard to tell. It was such a weird call.

33. Right wing provocateurs are nothing new
They were trying to infiltrate left leaning groups back in the late 1960's. It's amazing how stupid people think they can blend in and be believed when they spout incomprehensible nonsense.

35. Projection
They want to make out like liberals are the ones who don't like the troops and are anti-semitic, when it's really some of their own that harbor those feelings.

36. I thought he was great.
He gets my vote for Funniest Freeper Ever. One would have to be A COMPLETE DOLT to have bought into that particular neonazi -- therefore making it a comically 'squinchy' moment. I think Randi kept it going because it was hilarious, Freepers on parade -- a perfect example of alter-logic.

You can spot a Freeper in better ways than by their spelling. Their view of liberalism is utterly skewed -- so that when they act the part out, it's embarassingly naive and childish. One can be Liberal and easily masquerade as Conservative. It's not so easy the other way around. Conservatives intelligent enough to do it well still have these force-fed views that make it impossible for very long. They can't overcome the reality barrier. I can imagine a few are still holding on around here -- but don't we all figure it out sooner or later? None of us, or any listener to Randi's show, even a conservative, could have possibly thought the gentleman was a Progressive as claimed.

This guy was an ultra clown. What a zinger of a show that was. I laughed my ass off.

We need to make this a bigger issue than they ever wanted.
