ROTF!!! I Just passed a car with a "Save Our FreeRepublic.com" bumper sticker!!

[Kermitt Gribble]

I was looking and laughing at them as I passed - I hope they saw my DU bumper sticker...

5. Honda Element. Go figure... n/t

6. Freepers like Honda

They are non-union.

[roguevalley]

13. I drive one,. I belonged to five different unions in my working life.

I lurve my Honda. :)

[Kermitt Gribble]

17. The difference is

most people like and buy Hondas because they are nice, reliable cars. I imagine freepers buy them specifically because they are non-union, like itsrobert pointed out.

[roguevalley]

28. nothing would suprise me about freepers. :)

[Kermitt Gribble]

16. You're right, didn't think of that... n/t

[Dappleganger]

19. Oh please.

[Statistical]

26. I bought a Honda because my last one lasted an amazingly long time

and required very little $$$ in repairs even after the warranty expired.

Maybe people buy Honda because they are a good value or at the minimum perceived to be a good value.

Total Cost of ownership = purchase price + financing + maintenance + repairs + fuel + licensing/fees - resale value.

2. I don't think they're related to our FReepy creepies at JimRobs house.

3. Let's save it. What would the Web be like without that Beautiful, well-laid-out, expensive Site?

It must cost like 27 dollars a month to pay for all the "enhancements"

I've seen better web-sites made by 5th graders. :)

4. DUDE!! FREEREPUBLIC IS A STATE OF THE ART WEB SITE....

for web sites in 1995. He probably still relies on Prodigy for his internet connection!

:D

[BlueJazz]

7. Wow..I remember them. I've got an old box of cd's that is full of all those...

"offers" that isp's used to send in the mail. :)
(I think I even have AOL #1)

[meow mix]

8. i loved "Aol for Dos"

it was teh awsome back then lol

[sabrina 1]

11. It's a dinosaur, it SHOULD be preserved along with its

inhabitants, for posterity.

[Kermitt Gribble]

20. The web will be a tiny bit brighter

when that site goes under. Unfortunately, all the disgusting members of that site will still be spewing their hate on other forums and at their teabagger rallies.

[The Backlash Cometh]

9. Good thing it was you.

I probably would have run off the road.

[Kermitt Gribble]

15. I should have moved in front of them after I passed

and slowed way down so there would have been no doubt that they saw my DU sticker.

Thinking about this tonight really makes me appreciate DU and the admins all the more...

[The Backlash Cometh]

25. Oh, that would have been a dangerous thing to do. You might have

come out of it sans bumper.

[kickysnana]

10. Hope you laughed and pointed. n/t

[Kermitt Gribble]

21. I was laughing hysterically as I passed.

They had tinted windows so I couldn't see any reaction.

[Kurovski]

12. I'm beginning to feel bad for them. I'd miss DU if it was on its way out.

Maybe I'm confusing fatigue with sympathy.

[mindwalker_i]

14. Thing is, we can save it

Burn it to a couple of CDs (that software could fit on a fucking Vic-20), and preserve it as a testament to what the world should never become. As for the users, send them to the inquisition where they belong.

[Kermitt Gribble]

18. If there was some way we could save it

and exploit the ignorance posted on that site for all the world to see, maybe a lot of people would rethink what it means to be a conservative these days...

24. It's Being Saved...

...on the Internet Wayback Machine:

They've got Freeper pages archived back to '96...

22. Was it a 1970s Ford Torino with an American Flag paintjob? If so that was RimJob

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

23. Wait, did their mom know they took the car?

And plastered it with their bumper stickers????

[gauguin57]

27. Save Free Republic ... keep the cretins together in a place where we can keep an eye on them!

If they scatter, we might lose track of them, and then god only knows what mischief they'll get into!
