[WoodrowFan]

1. OUCH

I see the freepers did the reviewing!

[steve2470]

2. I think most of the posters here must be freepers

or freeper wanna-be's. They sure don't get it.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

3. Please read beyond the first few reviews..lots of love for DU expressed

[intheflow]

4. Did anyone else notice that more than a few bad reviews

gave us 5 stars? How bright is that?

But a very interesting read for the pro-DU reviews. I love DU! :grouphug:

[TrueAmerican]

5. BUMP BUMP BUMP

BUMP TO TOP!

[zanne]

6. "Canadians without jobs!"

From the reviewer with the username "judge"! Hilarious!

[chickenscratching]

15. or how about

"These are VERY bad people: the worst America has"
:eyes:

it's sad how much fear these people have from looking at things from different angles, sheesh!

[MrScorpio]

7. Let's disprove this line - I'll give it a shot

>>The DUer's would like you to believe there are many different opinions on their board, but that's just one more blatant lie from people who can't really do anything but lie.
DU allows only far-left opinions to be voiced. Dare to voice a moderate opinion or disagree with one of the far-left lunatics and you'll quickly lose any posting privileges you had there. Don't believe me? Ask Vetwife. She was one of their oldest members and she got the ax for daring to disagree with the absolute hatred voiced for all things republican.<<

Not all all things Republican is bad. Their very existence balances out the Universe. Somebody has to fulfill the Yin to our Yang.

[Deja Q]

9. Well, there are MANY DUers who openly post their opinions,

and I'm not the only one who isn't fond of the policies Clinton willfully signed, nevermind the Monica incident. And I'm no tightie-rightie by ANY measure - I'm soo SANE for that!

Are the far-lefties pro-Clinton? Or against? Or both, as that mypoic freepazoid would dare conjecture if he saw the gamut of responses written on this site!

[Jo March]

13. Not meaning to drag up old stuff

but VetWife was banned?

When did that happen?

[gollygee]

17. This will probably get deleted

I don't think you're supposed to talk about banned people? Not sure.

Anyway, she was found to be moderating a conservative website.

[Jo March]

19. I've PM'd you

Don't want to start any trouble or anything. :(

[MrSlayer]

47. Couple of months ago.

Turns out she was a Freeper and a moderator of another right wing site.

[tavalon]

39. Actually,

I would say that's a wee bit of projection going on there. That happens in reverse over in freeper land.

[KamaAina]

48. Eeeeek! At least two of these morans used real DU usernames

down around the fifth page or so.

I do not, of course, believe for a minute that they are the actual DUers named.

[TrueAmerican]

8. Recommend Topic for Greatest Page

Recommend Topic for Greatest Page

[BamaBecky]

10. Looks like the freepers are tearing up the Amazon site! We all need

to go click on "Was this review helpful?":bounce:

[sui generis]

29. nobody reads beyond the first page anyway

and if it's that controversial, people will come just to check it out anyway. The ones with a brain will stay and play and the rest of the ugly little apes will go away.

[Englander]

11. DU; "Availability: Usually ships within 24 hours"

:silly:

[flvegan]

12. If you click "Read all my reviews" on the negative posts

DU appears to be the only thing on Amazon they rate.

[chickenscratching]

14. what the fuck? check this out

"The website should called the demorcratic underground dating game. I had a bunch of mentaly disturbed old hags attack me on the website after I refusted to go out with them. Everyone wanted a date with me, I could have filled a calender up for 10 years with the number of dates that I had lined. If you are wondering why you don't get a response from Skinner, Elad, and Earl G after you have been banned. Let me tell you why. The real person that controls the website and makes all of the decisions is "nothingshockesmeanymore" makes all of the decisions on who stays and goes."


:rofl:

everyone wanted a date with me?? :wtf:

[Cannikin]

16. That cracked me up.

[OKNancy]

21. LOL

That person got rejected by NSMA ...whadaya wanna' bet?

[SarahB]

23. You know who that is?

I think it's the guy that was going to marry Lady Democrat/Corarose/Lost Message/Gingersnaps. :wow:

Um... :crazy: :eyes: :nopity: :scared: :rofl:

Now that was drama back in the day.

[redqueen]

35. !

:spray:

:rofl:

[Blue-Jay]

52. It's best to not mention her, SB.

a) She thrives on attention.
b) She's not worth attention.
c) See a and b.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

26. proof that alcohol really does destroy brain cells

[chickenscratching]

27. hmmm should i trust you?

YOU"RE THE ONE RUNNING THIS THING ANYWAY!!!!!1
:eyes:

:)

on edit: you're such a control freak!

:sarcasm:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

I have no authority and no control whatsoever over this site

you don't even have to like me. There won't be a consequence. Just ask admin. They all don't like me. :evilgrin:

[chickenscratching]

34. let's see

should i trust you, or the freeper that wrote the review?

hmmm.... :think:

[ScreamingMeemie]

32. I bet I could guess who that is...

;) :hi:

[Misunderestimator]

31. ROFLMAO

:rofl: Woohooooooo!!

[intheflow]

50. Who knew DUs real puppet-master was nothingshocksmeanymore?

:shrug:

[spunky]

18. Why are they rating DU? Do they rate other websites?

Color me confused. . .

[sui generis]

20. nothingshocksmeanymore is a canadian freeper hag?

who controls DU AND the price of oil?

bow before the mighty nothingshocksmeanymore!!!!!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

25. Hehe...YOU get to fill your tank today

Bow to me tomorrow and you get a free wash :)

[SoCalDem]

22. They "critique" us because they are whiney,pathetic little

losers that have nothing else to do. Even they eventually get bored with the constant posts from Mooney Times and Newsmax ( xed-out),and the endless threads of (((ping)))..(((bump))), so why not go and use up Amazon's bandwidth for idiotic "ratings" that no one but they even read or care about..:)

[NoPasaran]

24. We have a Mao avatar? n/t

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

28. Not only that, but all Jews get banned.

Truly slimy. Maybe they hope to stop people from coming here?

[Arkana]

30. "We're all Canadians without jobs!"

:rofl: What a dumbass. Plus there was the guy that blamed us for breaking up his relationship and says that nothingshocksmeanymore is the one truly in charge of the board. Morons.

[redqueen]

36. Is that Dark Magician

from Yu Gi Oh?

I've become addicted to that show by watching with my daughter. :blush:

[Arkana]

38. It is--and you're the first person to recognize him as so.

:)

[goodboy]

33. where's the reviews on the Freekers, CU? Now that I'd like to see.

[Melynn]

57. Yeah, I was wondering about the review of Freepie Republic

If Amazon doesn't have one then maybe Freekers isn't worth bothering with.

[tommcintyre]

61. For you too

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x3007140#3018665

Hope you check your posts page. ;)

[tommcintyre]

60. Here ya go

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x3007140#3018665

[redqueen]

37. Yes, please... if you're stupid enough to believe

that this place allows no dissent from the far left POV, please do us all a huge favor and stay as far the fuck away from us as you possibly can. You're obviously beyond helping, so it would be a waste of time for us to try to reason with you.

How do these people dress themselves... really?

[SarahB]

40. LOL!

"We dream of DU every day, February 17, 2005
Reviewer: Gator (Green Swamp) - See all my reviews
We, the members of the Conservative underground, dedicated our lives, our hours, and our first born to reading, fearing and loathing the DU. Since April 2004, we set out to do what the FReeptards couldn't do: purge the rest of the activity from our lives so we can live, breathe, eat and sleep DU. Our site of 35 regular posters and a few DU rejects thank the DU for occupying our lives, for we have absolutely nothing better to do!"


:rofl:

[Ladyhawk]

49. That's hysterical. :)

:rofl:

[AuntiBush]

41. Me thinks they "COMPLAIN" too much.

Interesting to note, they must spend an AWFULLY LOT OF TIME here, or they'd not be able to have anything to complain about.

We should take it as a compliment, as they're obviously in fear of us. And one can read the anger in their postings. Always angry, sore, yes sore winners... but think about it. They're angry because (?)... what did they win? Really. What did they win.

:patriot::patriot::patriot::bounce::bounce::patriot::patriot::patriot:

Nice to be a College educated American!

[mimitabby]

42. interesting

you can follow the freeprs trails and note how little they
actually read!
click on any reviewer, and you can check all of their other
reviews.
then you can review the books they reviewed and, well...
you know.

[FunkyLeprechaun]

43. CU

Just found out about the CU on that website. I looked and they seem to be obsessed with DU.

They're slamming Skinner quite a bit.

[WinterStorm]

44. How many books are out about DU? n/t

[KamaAina]

45. Busted! KKKonservative Underground has been feeding these trolls

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/customer-reviews/B00006DRBM/ref=cm_rev_next/102-6565653-1162517?%5Fencoding=UTF8&customer-reviews.sort%5Fby=-SubmissionDate&customer-reviews.start=21

I see the DU moonbats have located this poll. For you folks who don't know about it, that means many DU posters have directly violated $kimmer's wishes and visited the Conservative Underground to find out about this site.

[imenja]

46. Vote the bad reviews unhelpful and the good reviews helpful

[HamstersFromHell]

51. Gotta love old Don G (as in gee mom, do I have to go to bed now?)

He loves DU so much he reviewed it twice! (Now how's he gonna justify that to the other freepers who talk about us "wasting our time generating thousands of posts"??

To paraphrase an old southern expression: "If freeper brains were cotton, they wouldn't have enough collectively to make a Kotex for a pissant."

[Seabiscuit]

53. I created a 5-star review only to find they want my credit card number.

Screw them.

[livinginphotographs]

54. Another review by the genius signed in as "ThaSickness"

:eyes:

"My So Called Knife" is a pretty dark, dreary album, and I enjoyed listening to every minute of it. Especially their twisted cover of Johnny Cash's "Personal Jesus" (emphasis mine). I can't believe this band doesn't get more airplay here. Personally, I'd recommend this album to any Zombie or NIN fan, or basically any metal lover."

Sigh...

[mcscajun]

55. How the hell did this get onto Amazon, anyhow?

It's not like DU is a product you can buy online. This must be buried deep, 'cause I can't figure out how you might navigate to this without already knowing it's there.

Anyone have a clue on this?

[WinterStorm]

56. The book is being sold on amazon.com n/t

[mcscajun]

58. What book? There's no details of a book...this is a review of the website.

Only book I know about related to DU so far is "Snake Bites Volume One" by The Plaid Adder.

And note there are no details about any book on the page; no ISBN, nothing.

The CONSERVATIVES are knocking them! The following two reviews "tell the story".

Free Republic Going Down Hill Fast, April 4, 2004
Reviewer: jpj (DC) - See all my reviews
FreeRepublic started as a noble goal to provide a voice at the grassroots level to keep watch over wrong doing by the government (regardless of parties in power). In recent years and more in the last few months that has changed, it has turned into a censorship organization where nothing can be said against the current administration. If so the blue-meanie moderator will zap your comments and ban you for life! And they have the nerve to ask people for donations to run this site. The excellent articles from the past 1998-2000 era are gone. It has been downgraded to who won the NASCAR race or the focus seems like a monthly donation drive. Rarely can you find an intellectual review or comparsion article like once before. Lot's of hate, and just plain stupid comments. It seems the majority of the folks (sheep) now blindly support a move towards a police state than a democracy. The purpose of the original site seems to have been lost!

FreeRepublic is no longer Conservative, it is REPUBLICAN, March 2, 2004
Reviewer: libertyrocket (Heartland) - See all my reviews
As the election draws closer, FreeRepublic has become a censored message board. The original intent of being a "grassroots conservative forum" has morphed into a "Re-elect George W. Bush at all costs" fourm.
Many long time posters have been banned for critisizing GW Bush's domestic polices from CFR, Medicare and the Patriot Act. If one chooses to critisize the President's domestic policies on FR, the poster will be attacked by the Bushbot regulars who will call the poster a troll and equate everything critical that is said about the President into to working to have the Democrats elected instead.

Many conservative posters have left FreeRepublic and now post at Libertypost.org, a NON-CENSORED conservative site.
