Can Freepers Really Be This Out Of Touch??

[lligrd]

Edited to post the date because it is pertinent.

I wanted to see what they were saying on Freerepublic about the Rove missing emails but I couldn't even find a post about it. (What a surprise, huh?) Did find this gem in esponse to a post about Wolfowitz:

"Get the conservative and hope it trickles down to President Bush.

Anything even faintly negative and tenousouly related to President Bush is “big” news. (Don’t tell them about that campaign worker who got a parking ticket last week.)

The libidots are making sure President Bush doesn’t get reelected."

I don't know whether to laugh or cry!!!

[aquart]

1. Well, I'm sure they'll vote for him anyway.

[Mz Pip]

5. They can

write him in in 2008. That should work. :rofl:

Did idiot fall asleep in American Governemnt class? Maybe he never got that far along in high school

Mz Pip

dem:

[uppityperson]

14. That is a good idea, start promoting Mrbush 2008! campaign.

[rurallib]

53. Best idea in a long time

When the other Republic candidates hear Bubu is running again, they'll probably drop out.

[Breeze54]

25. Bahahahahah!!

:rofl:

[TheFriendlyAnarchist]

2. ......

[CrazyOrangeCat]

3. laugh

:rofl:

[Frank Cannon]

4. That darn Twenty-Second Amendment

Bunch of ($#*&# libidots must have come up with that one.

[Straight Shooter]

6. Libidots?

Is this some kind of turnaround play on words, like bushbots, or are they trying to conflate the word liberals with the word idiots? :freak:

[tanyev]

9. Oooh, the one that makes me boiling mad is "idiorals".

:rofl:

[rurallib]

51. They're on to us - we're screwn.

[TahitiNut]

28. I guess they envy people with a libido. (So do I.)

:evilgrin:

[jobycom]

47. I thought it was a new candy.

:shrug:

[patrice]

48. a very small round Libertarian n/t

[Ghost in the Machine]

54. short for Libby dots? you know... the little dots of shit that dripped onto the floor

from Libby's pantleg as he's marched in cuffs to his new 10x10 home? :shrug:

[ganeshji]

63. I read libidots differently.

I've been in front of the computer too long and my vision is blurry. I thought it said "libido tots." I could use an order of those right about now.:)

[dysfunctional press]

7. The libidots are making sure President Bush doesn’t get reelected

apparently you didn't recognize the sarcasm...?

the poster realizes that bush cannot run again- he's calling liberals idiots because he see's them as trying to make sure that bush won't be re-elected- as if the liberals don't realize that he can't run again.

[SaveOurDemocracy]

12. Are you SURE about that?

I was sure sarcasm and satire were beyond their skill level.

[dysfunctional press]

17. yes, i'm sure.

part of the problem is that too many people around here are too stupid to recognize sarcasm unless it's accompanied by one of these: :sarcasm:

[patrice]

49. This medium does not lend itself to sarcasm that well, because

it does not convey the "non-verbal" cues that help people identify sarcasm in the real world, things such as: tone of voice; facial expression; neutral, or at least non-aggressive, body language and other cues. Posts ae more or less context-less and everyone thinks s/he is Stephen Colbert these days.

I think it is unfair to characterize so many people as stupid.

[dysfunctional press]

50. if they don't recogize the obvious sarcasm of that post...

they're pretty stupid, in my book.

[Straight Shooter]

57. Thank you for calling me "pretty stupid"

You know I was just questioning the word "libidots," don't you.

:eyes:

[dysfunctional press]

65. i don't recall reading or responding to your post...or calling you anything.

are you admitting that you didn't recognize the obvious sarcasm in the freeper post?

or do you just not understand how to read a thread?

:eyes: backatcha...

[Straight Shooter]

66. Your "broad brush" comment about DU'ers not "recognizing sarcasm"

Simply because they ignored the fact that some freeper thinks that "libidots" (whatever those are) think bush can be elected. Perhaps you fail to recognize that many freepers think he can run again, as evidenced by prior freeper posts noted on DU.

But I recognize your user name, your style. So your sarcasm falls as flat as a freeper's sarcasm.

[dysfunctional press]

67. ...

:eyes:

yeah, i guess that it does include you.

[Breeze54]

62. Not just sarcasm but plain, old fashioned Humor!!!

:sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

;)

[MethuenProgressive]

8. morans...

HUGH!! morans!

[sam sarrha]

45. the Morans love him because HE is One of Them..!!

[Skip Intro]

10. wtf is a "libidot" - ?! Sounds like some kind ED drug.

Did they mean libidiot? That would have at leasts shown some signs of, er, thought.

[Cabcere]

16. Maybe it's

what the French call "sex drive"? :shrug: :rofl: I almost didn't catch that at first, good call.

[Odin2005]

11. LOL, we're "Libidots" now, I see!!!

:rofl:

[Donnachaidh]

23. is that in the same family as Mooninites?

:rofl:

[Norrin Radd]

55. Maybe they are like Dippin' Dots.

[mwb970]

13. You're right!

I waded in over there just long enough to determine that there is not a single thread about the 5,000,000 missing e-mails.

I guess for them, it just didn't happen.

[tanyev]

15. Although it's hard to say for sure since their search function is so wretched.

I signed up for an account once, hoping that it would give me access to better searching. Nope. What you see is all there is.

[proud patriot]

18. wow

:wow:

[mahina]

19. They have a point. Any focus on Bush personally is a wasted opportunity and a waste of time.

Republicans, yes. Bush, no. Excluding investigation or actual prosecution of course.

[OregonBlue]

20. There is a TOTAL blackout on all of the conservative blogs about the emails

and on the conservative MSM. They know that this one could be bad and they're gonna just stick to the "they serve at the pleasure of the president" for as long a possible. I looked everywhere on conservative sites this morning and could find NOTHING. It's definitely a strategy on their part. Too bad it won't work.

[Breeze54]

29. They're probably "hiding" those threads to members only

Hidden Forums.

[OregonBlue]

68. I have registered at some of them so I could see what's going on. No word, nada. I think

they believe that if they ignore it, it won't be that big a deal. Keep their "members" in the dark and keep trying to say it's all a DEM plot.!! LOL!!

[ladym55]

21. Freepers not so bright

What can I say? A libidot is likely a libIDIOT, but spelling is SUCH a difficult thing.

And given their strong grasp of American government and the Constitution, I expect many DO believe their beloved Dubya COULD run again in 2008. :eyes:

And the freepers's fundamental duh-ness is the reason the rethugs think that they can send the newest White House spokesweasel into the briefing room and say, "Oops, my bad! We've lost the emails!" This group of dummies actually believes the delete key DOES really make Mr. Email disappear. All gone. Bye-bye. :rofl:

[Breeze54]

31. He,he, he!

:rofl:

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[ladym55]

33. Thanks!

:hi:

[KingFlorez]

22. They've really lost it

[Initech]

24. Apparently, these guys have never heard of the 22nd amendment.

"The libidots are making sure President Bush doesn’t get reelected."

This is why I thank god that there's a two term limit.

[Elwood P Dowd]

26. A couple of freepers once said they were going to visit Lake Wobegon

and have a talk with Garrison Keillor about his George Bush jokes. They were "series" about it. I told them to visit the Powedermilk Biscuit factory and talk with Guy Noir, who is president of the Lake Wobegon Republican Party. They thanked me for the tip. Freeper loons on sports forums are so much fun sometimes.

[Breeze54]

30. LMAO!

:rofl:

[Elwood P Dowd]

36. My post was deleted the next day

but I did have 24 hours of fun. I will admit it was someone ahead of me in the thread that told them he lived in Lake Wobegon. I just added insult to injury.

[Cabcere]

32. LOL!

That's hilarious. :rofl: :thumbsup: Well done!

[CrazyOrangeCat]

34. They need more ketchup in their lives . . .

with natural mellowing agents.

[Elwood P Dowd]

38. So that's their problem.

Maybe a little rhubarb pie would also help the little freepers.

[Cabcere]

27. Yes

they can be, and yes, they are. :eyes:

And what does "tenousouly" mean, anyway? :shrug: Sounds like the sole of a tennis shoe...or something, I dunno. :shrug:

[Rex]

35. Doesn't get re-elected? No. Seriously?

He can't run for a third time? :sarcasm:

[HughBeaumont]

37. "Dem damned libs and that stinkin' 22nd 'mendment will NEVER kill OUR dream . . ."

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Cabcere]

41. Oh geez...

:rofl: Please tell me that's a Photoshop job...

[HughBeaumont]

43. Sorry and sadly, no.

http://www.cafepress.com/progopgear/763763

W '08 thongs. Right. Because that's what was missing.

[Cabcere]

46. Wow. Just when you think they can't get any dumber... (n/t)

[Virginia Dare]

39. This "libidot" doesn't think he ever got elected...n/t

[Cabcere]

40. I think that's a big part of their "argument," though.

My freshman year of college (which happened to be 2004), one of my hallmates was a hardcore Bush-supporting Republican, and she had a link on her profile to some website - I don't remember what it was, but I was dumb enough to go there. It was painful. Not only did they "argue" that since "liberals" claimed W stole the election that meant that he could serve as President a third term (wrong), I very clearly remember the statement "I would vote for a retarded mule if it had an 'R' beside its name on the ballot." :scared: :puke: I would say that that's exactly what they did, but that would be offensive to retarded mules.

[Clark2008]

42. They did vote for a retarded mule.

And I apologize in advance for my insult of mules by comparing them to "W."

[sam sarrha]

44. trickle "Down" to Bu$h... solid ironclad logic, even they know he isnt in charge on Top

[treestar]

52. Yes, they can

They know so little about the constitution - like that it prohibits searches without warrants based on probable cause or a right against self incrimination - that this one wouldn't be a stretch.

:rofl:

[marmar]

56. I didn't even need to read the post to respond "yes."

Freeperland is a scary place.

[Breeze54]

59. But you should read some of the replies.

Too funny! :)

[YDogg]

58. morans, all of 'em.

[flying_monkeys]

60. Maybe we should look to this as a warning...

Those idiots probably think that just writing in his name on the ballot will circumvent the Constitution (cuz, yanno, the POPULACE vote should count then, just not with Gore....)

Some days I admit it really PAINS ME that *my* vote is equal to someone's vote that shows such indifference/ignorance to the law....

[Zhade]

61. What's a "libidot"? Dumbass sisterfuckers can't even spell idiot right.

You'd think the word branded on their forehead would be a clue every time they look in the mirror.

Guess they can't read simple words if they're reversed.

[Skittles]

64. "trickles down to bush"

they got that right, it surely does not trickle UP
