DU Tactics at FreeRepublic
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1811600/posts


Apparently we have nothing better to do than to disrupt their *ahem* political discourse.

1. Well, I was impressed.
He can either spell or uses spell check. Could it be one of us posing as one of them?

5. ever notice that they all try to write as though they are eloquent, high-minded intellectuals?
what is it about conservatives that makes them obnoxiously wordy? Do they have a program that tracks 10-dollar words?

Or is it yet another symptom of constantly reading Ayn Rand?

10. I disagree with you there.
I appreciate well-chosen diction and appropriate spelling and grammar, no matter where they may be found. If a Freeper wants to write to be understood, more power to him.

15. yeah, but from the way they haphazardly throw their words together, and the mistakes,
Edited on Tue Apr-03-07 11:30 PM by ComerPerro
it is obvious they are just simple-minded idiots trying to sound intellectual.

14. Is 'wordy' the right word?
How about repetitive? However, for some reason I did hear an obnoxious, nasal, whiny voice in my head as I read their posts. Ha.

36. I have to admit...
I was singularly impressed with the rendering of "puerile" as "purile."

You here at DU are fortunate that I have never turned my grammar/spelling police powers on you. I have restrained them with a great deal of difficulty.

Really, I've read about people feeling slimy and dirty after visiting that site. Well, it's no myth. Those people creep me out almost as much as the adoring Hitler-worshippers shown in "Triumph of the Will!"

9. I don't know, but he was defending Mitt Romulan.
Actually, while I disagree with the full content of Mitt's religion, they are posting very bigoted things about LDS and that's over the line. There is a difference in criticizing the tenets of something and focusing on bigoted stereotypes.

21. I saw that too...
one minute they are saying 'let's support all our candidates' and the next, LDS is really a "cult". Sheesh. And not one mention of his great hair. :)

13. Nah, probably just an intelligent one.
In any group you'll find a range. You'll find gibbering idiots on DU, and you'll find intelligent, rational people on FR. The difference there, in my mind, is in the relative proportions.

27. I am sure that means...
Freeper in name only. No doubt an offense that sets them to building fires under the tar pots and ripping open old pillows.

8. they have a point though. Remember that time we all developed an unnatural obsession
with the president's sex life, and posted rude comments about him, his mistress, and the details of their liaisons?

Oh wait... that was them...

Hmm...

perverts!

25. GASP! You Aren't By ANY Chance Saying Bu$h And Kindalousy Are ...
...are having an affair, would you? I mean, sheesh, REALLY, Stephanie Miller has absolutely FORBIDDEN anybody to intimate such a thing. Even though:

She refers to Bu$h as her "husband"
She has her own private bedroom at the "Ranch"
She and he both like to go to bed early ~ huh
Their exercise obsession and routines are legend ~ and both "coincidently" happen at the same time very morning

But nahhhhh, it just ain't RIGHT to intimate such a thing would it????

And WORSE, we wouldn't want to ask any questions about that skull and bones gay-hazed frat brother Bu$h spends so much "intimate" time with ?

And Where WAS Jeff Guckert/Gannon when he wandered around the Whore House ~ errrrr, White House for hundreds of nights?

Nahhhhhhh ....

Cat In Seattle

12. A Republican pleading for decency in political campaigns?
A Republican pleading for decency in political campaigns? :rofl:

Aside from that bit of hypocrisy, Reaganesque's main complaint is about people abusing FreeRepublic's keyword mechanism. So what happens? People tag his post with a bunch of childish keywords as follows:

KEYWORDS: ABUSE; ANOTHERVANITY; BIGOT; BLUBBERPUSS; BUTT; BUYAVOWEL; CAPTAINPAINTBALL; CINOS; CRYBABY; DONATETOFRSUCKA; DUERSDONT; FRINOS; GIULIANI; HUMORLESS; IBTZ; IMMATURITY; KEYWORD; KEYWORDABUSE; KEYWORDSFROMDU; KORNWASHERE; MITTBOT; MYCANDIDATEMITTSUCKS; PEEPEE; POOP; PUERILE; REAGANESQUEISABABY; TODDLER; WHAAAAAAAMBULANCE; WHATABUNCHAKEYWORDS; WHENSTHEOPUS; WHINER

:rofl:

I'm hoping that it's other freepers doing it. I would like to think that DUers are above that.

19. Republicans have long had a code
Edited on Tue Apr-03-07 11:33 PM by Kelly Rupert
of mutual respect for other Republicans. Under Reagan, it was the unofficial 11th commandment. However, it seems their scorched-earth strategy is starting to double back on them, and that's what this guy was speaking to. It's not that left-wing strategies are seeping into FR, it's that FR is using its anti-left-wing strategies on itself.

But anyway.

I really like the "BUTT." It just says so much.

"Hey, guys, let's not be children and tear each other down."
"You're a butt!"

16. You know, that site is so fucking badly designed, I can't even understand what they're saying when
they spell it correctly.

"MITTBEATSHISKIDS" Or maybe it's "Mitt Beat Shis Kids". It sounds like some sort of German Techno group.

I'm forced to give them the benefit of the doubt about buying rather than stealing it.
But we all know how Republicons operate.

23. Please.
Those folks are heartless dolts.

Frankly, I won't get over what they did to Andy, and that colors everything I will ever read from them. Forever.

The "people" at FR, as far as I'm concerned, are cruel, stupid ghouls. That goes for the other "people" who attacked a dying man, too.

Really, I've got no use for them. They can think or post whatever they want--it'll never change what they did or what they are.

40. Never ever
Forgive or forget for what they did to Andy. They tried to send one of their morans into his fucking hospital room! They tried to deny him treatment by locking his paypal account claiming fraud. I loathe those people. I won't forgive them ever and I am not a person to hold a grudge. I get over things too quickly for the most part.

IMO, they showed their evilness there and anyone who could ever defend them would make me sick. Good thing I won't see that here <G>

Oh, and of course, they never did admit how wrong they were.

And they love to go on and on about how liberals are all about the hate. They are so deluded. Unbelievably deluded. Which explains to me why, exactly, they are the backwash.

32. Interesting priorities they have...
How can they complain about the language on DU when they think nothing about advocating genocide? (read a thread about islam sometime -- or the "gay agenda")

What a buncha morans.

Oh yeah.... FUCK!

Whenever you want to know just who in the world would still support B*sh and his law-breaking gang of organized criminals, meaning who makes up the backwash 35%, just go read a freeper thread. Then pray (figure of speech) that you never actaully have to meet one in person.

"The posters at DU think nothing of swearing and posting the most filthy, perverted and twisted things about their political rivals. We here at FR are, for the most part, better than that. At least we try to be. Unfortunately, there's always someone who proves that both sides have their ugly side."

FR is better than that? I want some of what this guy is drinking, cause I could use a good party right about now.
