Who did the Freepers blame for their troubles before Clinton? |
|
We know they need a scapegoat and now they blame Clinton for every single thing that goes wrong. So who did they blame before he was president?

LEt's face it, FDR's New Deal policies are what started the Neo-Conservative Movement.

Everything disturbing to conservatives prior to 1992 was the fault of hippies.
After the 92 election, it was all Clinton's fault.
And the Devil himself was the man behind the curtain!
Run for your lives!

If only Carter had had as formidable a penis as Clinton!

10. They hated communists |
|
They blamed all there problems on those whom they felt were commie fellow travellers, that is; us.
Sometimes they hit the motherlode and could blame and persecute, for decades or centuries, those who could not fight back like all visible minorities.
Of course the liberal media that we are all so familiar with has something to do with them being so misunderstood as well.
Basically they blamed anyone different from themselves.

They blamed it on Kennedy. Before that, they blamed it on Roosevelt.
This may or may not be true. But remember that everyone blames a LOT of stuff on Reagan.

sometimes being blatant racists and chauvinists. Other times, using code words..."urban youth", "inner city", and "welfare Moms." Their buddies know who they mean, even if the facts don't support their hate spewing. The Nazis used scapegoats to explain how the mighty Aryans had been defeated in WWI and how Germany's economy was destroyed. Conservatives blame minorities and the women's movement. "They" are corrupting our youth. "They" are taking all the jobs. "They" are getting into the Ivy League ahead of my kid. "They" are not doing their jobs as homemakers. "They" are getting all the entitlements and government money. It's not factual; it's just hate and an explanation for personal dissatisfaction.

19. The 60s in general. Before that... FDR. |
|
As you can tell by their behavior, they still blame both... just not as much as they blame Clinton.

21. It was always Clinton, even before he was conceived. |
|
You can be sure that somewhere, decades ago, in some dank church basement, some RW zealot was 'reinterpreting' some Bible verses to forsee a 'Randy Arkansawian' who would one day be born for the sole purpose of absorbing blame for everything.
