BTW, what are the Freepers saying?

[Archae]

Not that I WANT to go wading into that open sewer, just wondering.

My first guess is they are saying Bin Laden's death was "faked."

[librechik]

1. you don't want to know. n/t

[emulatorloo]

2. Agreed, you don't want to know. But dig around the last few pages, brave DU'ers

have dipped their toes in that cesspool and have brought some posts back

[Jackpine Radical]

3. I guess so. I saw an obviously faked photo

that was being circulated as exactly what it was--an obviously faked photo--apparently with the claim that it was a bad forgery released by the White House or something. It sorta sounds lik James O'Keefe has been taking Photoshop lessons or something.

4. First

They are saying it was faked and or staged. Next they are thanking George Bush and that Obama just continued his policies. No mention of the fact that Obama changed our policy in this region significantly.

It's like the stages of grief over there.

Denial
Anger
Bargaining
Depression

They haven't come close to Acceptance yet.

7. The Freepers have discovered a new stage...

...to the clinical stages of grief. Quick! Someone alert Elizabeth Kubler Ross.

The new stage is called "repressive sputtering". This in an intellectually stunted precursor
to getting to the first stage, which is denial. This is a frantic state. You can't quite get to
denial because you're just too busy spewing utter nonsense and intellectually inconsistent malarkey--that you hover
in "repressive sputtering" until you calm down, start thinking rationally enough to enter
the "denial" phase.

And please remember, we should never, ever judge how anyone grieves. It's very personal.

They aren't sophisticated enough to enter the denial phase. And we must allow them some time to process.

:rofl:

8. Denial was the 1st I saw

"It's not real, they faked it."

This is really the worst thing they could have imagined happening. It's really pathetic, but quite entertaining to watch. you can almost see the looks on their faces in front of their computer screen.

5. Oh absolutely...

just came from there.

Oh the hand wringing and the whining. You wouldn't believe it.

I am a big skeptic. And I sometimes wonder if we aren't designated audience
members, watching the scripted fairy tale that the corporatists/neocons
want us to see. So, I'm probably not as "on board" with the hoopla that is
surrounding government's version of events. I'm just not sure yet.

However, the nonsense at "that site" is hilarious. They hate Obama so much
and they can't stand this "win" so they're attempting to take it away from
him, any way they can. If this was Bush--they'd be sooo in our faces, and
therein lies the hypocrisy.

Nothing Obama could do--would be enough for them.

They're foot-stomping idiots, and never before has this been more apparent--
as with their current posts.

6. I don't know, it all sounds like...

"BAWK, beh beh beh bawk, BAWK!!!1!!1"

[NoGOPZone]

9. They're saying that bin Laden had to be killed

because he was about to reveal conclusive evidence that Obama's recently revealed long form birth certificate was fake.
