I never go over to free republic because i'd rather wipe my ass with bark, but i just read a little bit on their "inaugural ball" and saw that they actually call themselves freepers.

i always thought this was a clever nickname invented by someone here at DU. it just sounds like a creepy and ugly name...and they willingly put that label on themselves???

2. Well, some gays call themselves fags... and I'd bet that there are other
groups whose members would call themselves their own derogatory names as well. :-(

3. It raises an interesting question though...
...did they call themselves that first, or did their detractors?

4. Yep. Somehow, "big, tough, hard ass freeper"...
...loses a bit of it's edge in it's use. They sound like pansies sitting behind computers. Wait...they ARE little pansies sitting behind computers. Hence, all that "scary" gun talk...

8. yeah!
generally anyone advocating war from the safety of their living room is a diaper wearing, sibling molesting, cowardly asshat.

(the following is intended for freeper lurkers)

CALL TO ACTION: FREEPERS WISHING TO KILL ISLAMANIACS, GET IN CONTACT WITH YOUR LOCAL RECRUITER, PUT YOUR ASS ON THE LINE, INSTEAD OF ON YOUR SHOULDERS!

The rest of us "anti-american, anti-war" types will still be here in America, supporting our convictions. Our position is clear, we don't think its right, and we don't think our armies should be in Iraq.

Your position is a little bit more muddled: You think the war is right, you think our armies should be there, but you? Still safe at home, in your living room or whatever.....on the computer, or maybe playing ghost recon. Plenty of conviction, no balls to back it up.

Holy Crap!!
Where did THAT come from? Is this something some freeper posted with pride at their den of iniquity?

The Bush pic on the wall is the perfect touch.

Why does this guy have to be nekkid? I never DU nekkid. Is this a freeper trait of some sort?

May I say, once again, EEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

Much as we call ourselves DUers.

14. What's even funnier is that back in the days when I still looked in on
them, I saw that they call the female members of the board "freeperettes."

15. It *is* a little off-sounding for an adopted nickname--
but then again, thirty-two yrs ago, there was CREEP--and that didn't sound too groovy, either.

16. It's like what Rush Windbag say a few weeks ago...
He actually used the word 'strategery' from SNL. It's like they have embraced their 'moranity' and wear it as a badge of honor.
