Question: How Do You Get a Freeper to Shut Up?
Advertisements [?]
Answer: Present him with a fact that he can't refute or spin.

That is what newbie Freeper AWest recently did on the Freeper web site in response to a fellow Freeper's post on a Cindy Sheehan bashing thread, where the fellow Freeper questioned why the MSM never made a big deal out of grieving mothers whose sons died in Clinton's Kosovo war:

AWest meekly and apologetically offered the possibility that this was because there were no grieving American mothers produced by the Kosovo war as there were no American casualties. That pretty much shut down that thread.

Considering that this was AWest's first post, he probably should be forgiven for not being familiar with Freeper etiquette. His primary sin was interrupting someone while in the midst of a good ol' fashioned Clinton bashing. He did have enough sense to include some Cindy bashing in his post, but he's going to have to understand the typical Freeper's aversion to facts if he wants to last very long.

How long do you think it will be before he gets tombstoned?
