2. Maybe they'll figure out why it's so vital for all people to have civil rights
... because the nature of the enemy depends upon who is in the White House. And look at all that Executive power!

Obama will, of course, follow the Constitution (The old one) unlike their idiot king.

4. Do they know what having civil rights mean?
To a lot of people of color, women and the GLBT community who have had (and still have) their rights denied, their pleas and fears seem so petty and shallow.

I think they really fear that Mr. Obama will extract the retribution of a thousand suns upon them for their racist and fascist behavior.

11. Retribution - I don't see it that way
I disagree. I think they fear losing a false sense of advantage. When I was young I saw poverty and couldn't understand why all poor of all races couldn't band together for common advantage. What I gradually learned was that many whites considered "being white" as a factor in the pecking order. To upset that pecking order was to displace racial superiority with competition.

And, yes, I find the pleas and fears as a pathetic cry for the return to having a permanent underdog that you can kick, if only mentally, when you feel frustrated by your own life.

21. Wonderfully put.
Edited on Mon Nov-03-08 05:14 AM by political_Dem
That's exactly what they are doing. Two issues do stand out: race and power. They hate being subjugated by a person of color.

However, I do think that the fear is there about a Black person being in a powerful enough position to turn the table on white people for the long and violent episode of racism in America. That's why some even say stupid things like Obama is going to put "Revs. Wright, Sharpton and Jackson in the Cabinet" and he's going to paint the White House "in black".


Even though the sayings are quite stupid, it does convey a true fear of what a person of color might do to white people. It's not going to happen, but that's what they feel. That's why they are being so reactionary.

Remarks like these were even said in an al Jazeera tape shot at an Ohio Rally for McCain and Palin.


Btw, welcome to DU. :hi: I look forward to reading even more of your comments. They are quite excellent. :)

39. I learned in Psychology 101...that...
...when a person is racist it has nothing to do with the race they are hating. They actually hate themselves. But as a defense mechanism, the psyche projects that hate onto a group of people. The thinking is "I might be bad, but I'm not as bad as _________." They need someone who they can believe is worse than they are. Back in college when I learned this my dad fit into this catagory. I had always hated it but I started to feel sorry for him. This was a few decades ago and he has completely changed and is voting Obama.

Freepers must be going through a lot of inner turmoil. The fact that a black man can be president is a huge blow to their collective psyches. Maybe we'll see a mass transformation!

96. I think you're giving too much credit for consciousness of thought...
It's not explicitly worry about what a black person with power to "turn the tables" might do... I don't think. It seems to me a matter of "when the only tool you have is a hammer, then every problem looks like a nail..."
In other words... the Freepers are freaked out because they only think in terms of oppression and Klan-esque terrorism... and so, with the power liable to be bestowed on one of "them", they assume that "he" will turn to the same sort of tactics in return.
Let's face it, it's a failure of imagination. Failure of imagination to even grasp what Obama's been saying (not to mention every other liberal). Failure of imagination to consider the possibility that maybe not everyone's lying as virulently as the Right Wing... Failure of imagination to even begin to grasp the idea that ideas that they haven't had already could possibly be conceived in other heads...

If I was just a paranoid idiot mouth-breathing freak, it would be difficult for me to even begin to conceive of someone else who had learned the art of breathing with his/her mouth closed. If the only solution I'd ever conceived for any problem was invading Normandy, anyone who pointed out that the problem I'm trying to solve is not based in France would not be a welcome voice...

Freepers generally show a limited scope of experience, and even more limited scope of imagination. Rather than being surprised by their extreme ignorance... I mostly feel embarassed that I share a Nationality with them. And a healthy dose of fear if I stumble upon a group of them that outnumbers me and my people by the ratio that triggers comfort in them (you never know exactly where the threshold is, until you cross it. Then you can see it in their eyes.)

36. That is exactly what they believe. Their world is constructed of
power relationships.

"For us or Against us"
"Good or Evil"

With them it's all "kiss up and kick down"

It's the way their brains are wired. They can't conceive of the concept of minority rights. They will not even admit to being "a minority" because they don't really know what the word means.

100. Paranoia + Katrina hypocrisy = LMFAO!
Here's a sampling...he last two lines are particularly hilarious, considering which party was responsible for FEMA/Brownie:

Whether Barack Obama wins or loses the election on November 5th, there is a possibility that widespread rioting will break out, encouraged and incited by left wing radicals. If this happens it may not be possible to remain in and to defend properties in unsafe urban areas. If you live in such an area, it would be wise to prepare a bug-out bag for election day and for inauguration day.

The only people I see bugging out are the Freeps.


Consider buying the supplies you might need for your Obama bug out bag as soon as possible instead of waiting until the last possible minute. Here are some of the things you should include:

*snip*

Include weapons, ammunition and a crowbar.

A crowbar! Ooh, I'm shaking!!


Don’t forget toilet paper and sanitation supplies.

Because they're so full of shit, perhaps?

Additional tips:

Fill your gas tank and keep it filled.
Avoid government shelters. Remember Katrina.

AND WHOSE FUCKING FAULT WAS KATRINA, FREEPTARD???

26. I know they are NOT kidding, but my brain has a hard time processing that anyone could be so.....
Ridiculous. When I read it almost hear it in my head like someone is being sarcastic or funny. Maybe I've been watching too much Colbert...

The really scary part is the racism running through that thread. It is there and it is disgusting.

I also find the way they are all like "Make sure you have plenty of ammo.." INSANE. One of them made a list of what to pack in a survival kit for the day and said "Include weapons, ammunition and a crowbar". A MOTHER LOVIN' CROWBAR.

I obviously don't hang out with Right Wingers very often, because, although logically I KNOW people are like this, I still am surprised by the disgusting and paranoid behaviour when I read their thoughts first hand like that.

29. Reminds me of a couple
I knew back in 1999. They were so certain that the whole country, maybe even the world, was going to come crashing down because of Y2K that they sold everything they had, bought weapons and survival gear and moved to the mountains to become self sufficient and protect themselves from the masses. Moving to the mountains to become self sufficient is fine, but the irrational fear that caused them to do it - not so much.

28. Put it this way:
Should we really be valuing the opinion of a bunch of dicktits who think

* the Bewsh presidency was a success,
* things are great the way they are,
* a guy who's voted with Bewsh and issues he supports 95% of the time will somehow be different than Bewsh

and want to elect this candidate who, odds are, will continue everything Bewsh has set into place?

I look at freepturds and laugh at them. They're an unintentional comedy act who are the walking, drooling definition of insanity: those who think different results are going to happen if the failed course continues to stay.

85. It's sad but there are many more of them than we think.
I know a woman that has made it her mission to go to every liberal site and tell them the 'truth' about Obama. She stays up all night apparently doing that. Weird if you ask me.

41. Every single one of them believes Obama will lose, followed by rioting.
They even discuss the need to "buy ammo". How weird. What goes on in a freeper head anyway? Are these the same people who hid in caves for Y2K, believing that Clinton would immediately declare martial law and confiscate their guns?

Speaking of confiscating their guns, I saw a whole thread on FR or a similar site about how to bury your guns so that the door-to-door gun sweep Obama will conduct won't find them. All kinds of info about "magnetometers" and metal detectors, and how deep to bury the guns to avoid detection, etc., etc.

Where do these people come from and where do they get these insane ideas?

42. They are predicting a riot.
In their heads the polls and talk about Obama winning are all made up by the "liberal media" and we will all be in for a "shock" when the "real" votes come in. They are the ones in for a shock, the only way McCain wins, is if he cheats.

Be safe, try to stay home as much as you can on the 4th--just in case.

Yes, I think the OP over there is right- the Freetards SHOULD STAY HOME, as much as possible.
In fact, they shouldn't leave their house until Nov 25th or whenever Thanksgiving is this year.

54. Thanks for posting that - the replies are some of the sorriest stuff I've ever seen
Wrong on so many levels I can't even find a voice for it. One thing that struck me is how stupid they are about is their definition of an "Obama supporter". Obama supporters are even found in their own neighborhoods, their own organizations, in their own freaking back yards, which I guess hasn't crossed their minds. I have been amazed, pleasantly at times, by just how diverse Obama supporters are, and it is a good thing. There is strength in those kinds of numbers. People don't have to be identical clones in order to join together to achieve a goal. Proof that it works against you is found in the repub method used to promote McCain - they didn't reach out to anyone other than their own fundies, and I didn't see much diversity of opinion or person there. And how'd that work for them? No wonder they are missing the boat on what is prompting the nation to find Obama way more acceptable than McCain/Fruitcake.

The reason these close minded morons are in such trouble is that Obama is just plain making sense to people in many walks of life. And even for those who have reservations, the repubs pick of both McCain, but esp. Palin turned a lot of them (esp. repubs) into Obama voters almost overnight. Yet they are still worshipping the the Shrilla from Wasilla, while loading their cars with canned goods and stocking up on ammo for the coming "race riots."

There are going to be some sad freepers on Wednesday; both because they lost and couldn't see it coming, and also because it is the end of their story - no race riots to justify their positions, no reason for them to pretend they just had to "act out", no nothing. Gonna go out like a whimper - the quiet sound that history makes when it has consigned a group to the junk pile.

Transitions scare people. Transitions are what makes us move either forward or backward. This one is headed forward, and freepers are correct that their former positions of power based on fear are gone with the wind after tomorrow, at least muted for a certain period of time to allow better things to fill the void. Our nation had moved on from freeper types being the dominant force in politics/the presidency awhile back, and the election results are merely providing proof of that. Its not like they haven't had fair warning, or had a chance to at least change what it means to be a freeper/republican into something more positive than the superstitious, bigoted, whining crap they are still offering. Nothing more than a bunch of crazies talking to themselves.

I'm sure they will work it out in their own fashion, but no, for all their talk, there is nothing "to be done" about it. Look at what a losing campaign they ran - and you really think that these lazy bastards are going to start a war over Obama winning? They do not have it in them to act, or else they would have mobilized better and won this election. All talk, no do.

69. Be relaxed, calm and have your eye on the prize, and remember -
it takes an awful lot of angst and anger to make people pick up arms in way that would threaten the fabric of our society, and all we've seen of late is apathy from that element. Not saying there won't be isolated incidents - there are already plenty of instances of man's inhumanity to man in the news daily.

But a societal war? Been there, done that - the Civil War between the North and the South. Heck, before, during and after that war, we were at war as invaders, almost creating genocide of the resident native americans here. I only mention these examples, not to worry you, but to say we do know how to do "war" right here on our own soil, and not with any pure or noble intentions.

But no matter how loud their anger gets, or how threatened the mere act of electing a black man makes them, this just will not result in vast racial riots and mayhem. There will be lots of ugly words for sure - and the internet makes you more aware of it, than say, if you only were stuck listening to either backwards neighbors or relatives talking that smack.

For the last 8 years, I've dabbled in my own quest to go "back to the land" and be less reliant on modern conveniences. Because of that interest, a lot of the info I seek (gardening, storage, animal care, etc) ends up landing me on some boards that have a tinge of fundie/close minded/repub/fear based thinking. Lots of stuff triggers their race war/societal upheaval fantasties, and off they go to do their canned food drives and target practice. Did you know there would be race riots after Y2K? Oops, didn't happen. And in the aftermath of 9/11, because the blacks would identify with the muslims and use the opportunity to take out the whites? Oops, didn't happen. Repeat after every scare we'd had, from bird flu epidemics to tainted Chinese food products, supreme court decisions that enforce church/state separations, you name it. Gonna be time to pick up arms! Race wars! I'm really serious this time, take back our country! I must have sleep through all those civil wars:)

Sleep well, so that if we get lucky tomorrow night, you can soak in what a great thing we americans did this time. I can't believe I am about to witness this kind of history being made. No matter how crappy our economy gets or even if his election doesn't bring me everything I'd like to see, I will never take for granted what this opportunity might do for us for generations, in so many ways. Have a great election night tomorrow!

Woo Hoo! Ima going to do a booga wooga ooga dance in the streets, while the shaking freepers watch from their windows.

If you know a freeper at work, after the election, sneak up behind them and shout a loud "BOO!"

When you see a vehicle with McCain W stickers, drive up beside them and shout, "BOO!" But be really careful cause they might have a wreck.

There are other fun things to do. Wear tee-shirts or better yet, official looking buttons that say "RIOT ORGANIZER" "OFFICIAL OBAMA GUN CONFISCATOR" "REPUBLICAN INTERNMENT CAMP OFFICER" "MOTHERS FOR MIXED RACIAL MARRIAGE", "MILITARY MARKSMEN AGAINST RACISTS", "SOCIALISTS FOR SALACIOUSNESS"

I can hardly wait!

59. My greatest fear fantasy is that some of these iditots will actually
try to mount some sort of insurrection or revolt, get lots of guns and try to take over DC or something.

They will, no doubt, be arrested, charged and jailed, and we will be hearing about their trials for the next 5 years.

But I hope no police or law enforcement or military actually get shot when these idiots do something with their guns.
I don't mind if a couple of them die for the cause, but I hate martyrdom from the right, it's so farcical.


Just telling you what I fear from some of these redneck gun-toting racists!

I am the person on the block with a flag flying on my porch post with 3 Obama signs in my windows looking over the street. I shop at the store next to you. I am at the gas station and I am dropping my kids off at school with your kids.

I wish, oh how I wish... they would stay in their fucking little gloomy hell holes and curl up in fetal positions.

But... The big problem with their irrational thinking is believing that McCain is going to win.:eyes:

88. HOW TO PREPARE!
:rofl:


Whether Barack Obama wins or loses the election on November 5th, there is a possibility that widespread rioting will break out, encouraged and incited by left wing radicals. If this happens it may not be possible to remain in and to defend properties in unsafe urban areas. If you live in such an area, it would be wise to prepare a bug-out bag for election day and for inauguration day.
Consider buying the supplies you might need for your Obama bug out bag as soon as possible instead of waiting until the last possible minute. Here are some of the things you should include:

Pack ready to eat food and juices that do not require refrigeration.
Add a first aid kit atogether with all of your essential prescription medications.

Include weapons, ammunition and a crowbar.

Have maps or navigation systems with planned alternate routes to safe destinations.

Don’t forget toilet paper and sanitation supplies.

Carry sufficient cash. (Withdraw it now. Some ATMs may be down or dangerous to approach.)

Bring flashlights, batteries, matches and candles.

Select extra clothing and warm blankets.

Toys and games will help keep children occupied while traveling.

Additional tips:

Fill your gas tank and keep it filled.
Avoid government shelters. Remember Katrina.

97. Is that video supposed to be frightening?
"Because of Obama, I aspire to be the next architect! Because of Obama, I aspire to be the next fireman!" - OMG TEH NEEGROZ IS BUILDIN HOWZEZ! FIGHTIN FIREZ AUGH!

You'd have to be pretty dense to take this video as anything dangerous. But I guess I mistake the freepers as rational, collected people with a lick of sense.

116. It's called hypocrisy
One of many reasons hippies are still pretty much despised: They didn't believe in anything they preached, not when consumerism and greed tempted them to become even more materialistic than the "society" they claimed to have rejected.

"To: springtime4hillary
Vote first, and then lock yourself in. Ha

It is going to be a painful thing to watch Chicago burn itself to the ground on the 5th. There are so many good restaurants there."


"Actually after the polls have closed there could be riots!
Don’t go near big cities!"

Yes, please! Stay where you are. In mamma's basement.


"To: Boucheau; KJC1
I don’t think he is suggesting anyone not vote, he is simply concerned about what is going to happen in the streets on voting day/night, as a lot of people are, especially in urban areas.

Man that “Troll Attack”, knee jerk reaction is getting a little disheartening. No wonder so many people just lurk and don’t post:("


No, they just lurk because it is a real cheap form of riotous(pardon, the pun) entertainment.
