If anyone wants proof that most Freepers are stupid...
It took 10 posts before someone realized the article here was satire, and even afterwards they kept taking it seriously.

:crazy:

1. I've seen some satire confusion on DU, but not after 10 posts in a thread.
Someone will usually misunderstand, then be corrected immediately.

Yeah, they ARE stupid.

2. "Rectifying" the text of the speech.
-----
He said dangerous weapons. Or maybe the idiot that wrote this didn't hear it.

Actually, he /did/ say "weapons of mass destruction":

"And we acted in Iraq, where the former regime sponsored terror,
possessed and used weapons of mass destruction, and for 12 years defied the clear demands of the United Nations Security Council."

5. Yes, he did say that. That statement really jumped out at me.
My immediate thought was that the only WMDs that Saddam had and used were the those he obtained from the Reagan and Bush Sr. administrations for use against the Iranians back in the 1980s. He was considered an ally back then and the Iran was the ``evil empire.'':shrug:

8. LOL! I was planning to look for that ``morans'' photo
``Moron'' is one of my freeper mother's favorite epithets and I longed to show that to her. I just got such a kick out of that. Thanks for a needed laugh!:D

9. There were only 2 people that knew it was satire
the others clearly didn't realize that. One said, "Unfortunately, a lot of these losers are also voters" rotflmao.

10. Oh ... a game ...
Something to amuse themselves ?


To: dts32041

Has any creative bartender invented a drink called "WMD"? What does it/should it contain?

14. LOL! Free Republic can be addictive. I am registered there, BTW
thanks to my DU compatriots who often post links which I am tempted to check out. I often get sucked in, and always come away feeling slightly unclean. Better to stick with DU, where we can be honest about such weaknesses, as I know I'm hardly the only one, but liberals are usually quite forgiving.:-)
