Severe projection in Freeperville
Yes, it's true, I went over to the dark side to see what the loons had to say about Al Gore's speech. Before I got to that, I found this weird comment in this thread; http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/894583/posts

What if Al Gore had won?
"To: semaj

In all series, if Al Gore had won, his admin. would be spending all their time trying to persuade the American public that all was well. They would be spinning the truth, demonizing any opposition (or blaming them) and reporting fragmented truths while they covered up the big picture. All of this would have a hugh effect on our security.

Now that I've pondered this, I'm going to go take a shower.

How dim do they have to be not to see this is *'s current behavior? Never mind that the third word should be "seriousness". And who's "hugh"?
Where are the black helicopter paranoids when there is really something to be paranoid about?

1. Yes indeed. Their blindness just frigging amazes me.

That's why it is so hard to reason with those people.

3. FYI
They know that those who monitor them make fun of their spelling. Therefore the words "series"(serious) and "hugh"(huge) are used as a FReeper inside joke to cover up for their spelling gaffes. That way they always get to cover their ass when they get caught on any errors, by passing it off as a joke.

I am not overly critical of spelling errors, as we all make them from time to time, and many times they can be attributed to typos. But the spelling at FReeperland is particularly atrocious from time to time, and often in ways that betray the "it's a typo" defense.

Anyways...

6. I think you give them too much credit.
I don't believe they make fun of their own spelling. They really are THAT stupid. Believe it.

Was the freeper in the "Get a brain moran" picture making fun of himself? hmmm.. no, I think he's just a bigger moron than he could ever fathom. (Fathom means "comp-re-hend" for those freepers who may be lurking. :)

4. Brownshirts always project
1) Because they are programmed that way by Goebbels v1.0 (in the case of the originals) or v2.0 (in the case of the "kinder and gentler"...for the moment...Imperial Amerikan variety). This is nicely described in Orwell's "1984". Ask a Brownshirt why they changed their mind about the defcit and how they could change such a deeply and long-held conviction so quickly.

2) It is necessary to protect their ego/id from the consequences of what they are, what they do, and the Coublethink that characterizes their lives (and also characterized the lives of Nazis, Commies, and other extremists of all stripes)

Think of what the Nazis told themselves as they were beating the crap out of the Jews.

That the JEWS were the oppressors.
That the JEWS were the bullies.
That the JEWS controlled all government and media with an iron fist.

Again I say, the Busheviks are NOT (yet) equivalent or even nearly equivalent in perfidy to the Nazis, there are merely a tremendous number of similiraties in their thought processes and propaganda strategies.

But you asked why the Busheviks are utterly consistent in attributing their failings to others.

I believe it is a truthful statement to reply, "Generally, for the exact same reason the Nazis did."

10. I discovered a new freeper type board the other day
well, it's new to me at least. I've managed to post some stuff there and haven't been banned yet. I think that's mostly because it's pretty slow. The mods don't even seem to be logged on most of the time.

And if you're interested in the bizarre world of the freeper it doesn't get any more bizarre. it's called http://www.protestwarrior.com/ possibly even more out there than free republic. I've posted a few things in the liberty forum.

11. I just wrote the black helicopter folk, that's a damn good question
And what the hell good are their guns going to do them even if they are aware it is time for major paranoia.

Let's see what they have to say.
