IMing with a Freeper... she said (this is a good one)

[rockymountaindem]

Well, my goody-two-shoes friend just told me that "Kerry is a girly name".

I said "Irish?"

She said "well, it's still girly"

To which I replied, "I don't have to tell you the other meaning of Bush, or 'Dick' Cheney, for that matter".

It's just awesome when they think they're being witty, and they we're actually witty and they don't have any comebacks... eerie silence. Man they're fun.

All I can say is we'd better win or else I'm going to have egg all over my face.

Although she is sadly freeperish and a real fundamentalist.

4. couple of questions from a DU rookie

Thanking all in advance for the education

6. reply from a DU rookie

"Moran" comes from a now classic image of a redneck-esque NASCAR dad holding up a (misspelled) sign reading "Get a brain MORANS" to Democratic supporters.

"n/t" means "no text", is courteous to include in a title to indicate the body contains no text. Same as EOM (end of message).

13. Actually the morans thing came about from a redneckish

freeper dude holding a sign "get a life morans" at an ANTI WAR rally at a Boeing plant in St Charles, Missouri. The rally was not a democratic rally. It was held at the beginning of 2003.

8. "Moran"

comes from a photo of some dude with a mullet and a bad mustache counterprotesting against an antiwar protest holding a sign saying "Get a life, morans". If you hang around long enough you'll see it posted.

n/t stands for "No text"

9. here is a moran

second, n/t means no text, so no text in the message, just a subject line

[rot0r_head]

10. The signs of our times (ZAP!) n/t

[Tom Kitten]

11. Good example! Now here's an example of n/t...
