Freepers, By Definition, Are Members Of A Hate Group
Freak Republic is a hate group.

It's all well and good not to want to tar the occasional few members there who might not fully understand what the website advocates with the actions and philosophies of its founder and members.

I'm sure there were also one or two Klu Klux Klan members who were there for the clean sheets.

But make no mistake: it's a theocratic, far rightwing, fundamentalist website. It wants to strip America of its freedoms and liberties.

It is the enemy of a free country.

Do NOT confuse Freepers with Republicans.

There are MANY good Republicans. There are NOT many good Freepers.

37. They're KIDS, I'm convinced.
If you take a look at the language and mannerisms at that site, you'll see what I mean. (It's infantile and boring.)

40. I Recall Seeing A Chart That Showed FR's Hits Declined Dramatically...
... when school was in session. Others spikes in their site's traffic were measurable during other typical public school vacation breaks.

Does anyone else remember this? Who had it? If you bookmarked it, please share the link!

10. I looked and saw that. Are those people kids?
The few times I've looked at that site, the posts sound and read as if they're from very young people.

re: taking their party back from the neocons, maybe I'll be a little less fervent with my broad brush strokes.

11. Lebkuchen, wo bist du zuhause?
Wo hast du das Bild gefunden?

Es schaut sehr grausam aus.

Hermann Göring kamm aus Rosenheim, nicht weit von mir.

28. Your German isn't bad
Hallo Lebkuchen!

"Ich erinere mich nicht wo Ich es gefunden habe."
=
"Ich erinnere mich nicht, wo ich es gefunden habe."

"Ich" wird nur am Satzanfang groß geschrieben. Das fehlende Komma und "erinere" statt "erinnere" sind Fehler, die auch Deutsche machen.

"Es hat von hier gekommt"
= "Es ist von hier gekommen"
Würde man in diesem Kontext aber nicht sagen, da ein Bild nicht von alleine kommt. Besser wäre:
"Es ist von hier"

My English is worse, I'm afraid.

8. I haven't spent enough time over their to know but
it seems like a few of the posters are more like McCain but just a few. I can tolerate a moderate Republican but it does seem like a pretty scary place for the most part. The average person on FR is probably a lot like Jessy Helms. I have no problem with those who are like McCain. They don't bother me that much.

9. Ummm... they loathe McCain
I've almost never seen a positive post there about McCain. He is universally hated there. When his name comes up, they go into full scale frothing.

41. Why do you have so much animosity towards DU?
So much so that you post threads defending Free Republic.

42. And, btw, there is a mixed reaction here to Hillary
Some here are big fans, others think she's too far to the right.

There is no such mixed reaction on Free Republic to McCain. So your analogy doesn't cut it.

19. Well, where's the "hate" on this side of the bench?
Identify it for us. I see a lot of anger and frustration directed AT people who espouse hate and bigotry and war.

But, you see objecting to hate and bigotry doesn't make you hateful yourself.

24. You "see hypocrisy in hating hate"
Seriously? How do you treat hate? With love and understanding and moral equivalence?

26. Well if you wish to accept hate, that's well and good
some of us don't accept it, we fight it, and will continue to fight it. And we don't accept that hate is the moral equivalent of justice and freedom.

One side is fighting for the better nature of mankind here, the other is advocating violence and hate to achieve ends which are antithetical to liberty.

29. I must be a glutton for punishment....
I will point out that there are two active threads in GD at the moment: One called, "I hate America" and the other is about Ronald Reagan and how the OP is glad he died a horrible death.

I am appalled at these posts, but they do exist. Unfortunately, the right wing does not have the market cornered on hate.

32. I'm sorry
but the overexuberance of some on the left does not equate with the hate on the right.

When you see someone on the left calling for internment camps and the death of all religious rightwingers, let me know.

When you see someone on the left calling for a unilateral war to take over a country that did not attack us, let me know.

When you see someone on the left trying to pass laws which interfere with someone else's intimate family decisions about birth and death, let me know.

This moral equivalence bullshit is just that: BULLSHIT.

33. An unfortunate thread of hate right here...
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x4062969

If saying "I'm glad he died of alzheimers" isn't hate, I don't know what is. Though, I'm leaning towards the idea that this is a just a mole-job to cast Democratic Underground in a bad light.

17. So....
is it "junior high" for the Southern Poverty Law Center to identify and publish hate groups around the country.

You don't care if these people agitate against womens' rights, if they applaud violence against gays and lesbians, if they agitate everyday in a foul racist manner against all Muslims and support an illegal War of Death run by the most corrupt administration in American history?

You don't care, eh?


Some of us do. Which is why we're here.
