Freepers focus on the "real" WikiLeaks issue. Homosexuality.
Perused this http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2634404/posts">thread over there, where they were discussing this article from the http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/nov/28/how-us-embassy-cables-leaked">Guardian:

It was childishly easy, according to the published chatlog of a conversation Manning had with a fellow-hacker. "I would come in with music on a CD-RW labelled with something like 'Lady Gaga' … erase the music … then write a compressed split file. No one suspected a thing ... (I) listened and lip-synched to Lady Gaga's Telephone while exfiltrating possibly the largest data spillage in American history." He said that he "had unprecedented access to classified networks 14 hours a day 7 days a week for 8+ months".

The very first Freeper reply zeroed in, not on the security breach itself, but on the Lady Gaga angle (which of course, means the leaker was Gay!!). The thread went in a predictably Freeperish homophobic direction from there.

A selection of the fucknuttiest responses:

The very first reply
Didn't see this posted. At any rate, there's a name for the kind of guy that lip-synchs to Lady Gaga.

The second reply. "I know the answer!"
Flaming GAY!

A little gay-bashing
This little queer needs to be left alone in a room full of Marines for about 5 minutes.

The kid was clearly gay. And, he lived the kind of lifestyle prior to enlisting that was clearly homosexual. How did he pass a background check which would have presumably included field interviews because he clearly had top-secret clearance? Did not a single red-flag go up about this kid’s sexuality during the security screening process?

(Oh yeah, the Birthers wanted in on this too!)
They can’t protect America’s secret information but they WILL AND CAN protect Obama’s personal documents. There is something really wrong here.

Of course, it's a gay conspiracy!
It all makes sense to me now. the powers that be in the government are being black mailed by the queers with this info.. IOW allow open faggotry in the military or we’ll leak all your secrets..

5. I *am* a gay man, and I've never heard Lady Gaga once.
No, not once.

Ever.

Don't Get Caught in a Bad Hotel

A flashmob infiltrates the Westin St. Francis hotel in San Francisco and performs an adaptation of Lady Gaga's song "Bad Romance." The event was organized to draw attention to a boycott called by the workers of the hotel who are fighting to win a fair contract and affordable healthcare. Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer activists put the song and dance together as a creative way to tell the hundreds of thousands of LGBTQ people from all over the country coming to San Francsico in June for Pride to stay out of the boycotted hotels.

To learn more about how to honor the boycott and support the workers visit:

13. My younger brother is gay, but unlike the freeper assholes, he is a decorated combat veteran ...

and a graduate of the United States Naval Academy. Somehow the military not only survived his presence, they called him a hero as well.

2. Sadly, these idiots feel "safe" spouting that STUPID, hateful tripe.
In public, that shit would make one a laughing stock.

4. Unintentionally funny line.
"This little queer needs to be left alone in a room full of Marines for about 5 minutes."

Do Marines really finish that quickly?

6. Sounds like a typical Teabagger meeting with Sarah at the podium lecturing in "word salad" style.

The exchange of posts in the OP clearly demonstrate why our country went to hell during the Bush years. The Republicans and their minions were too pre-occupied with their own predisposition of hate to focus on anything else.
