Republican Ignorance on Public Display at Freerepublic.com.

Frommy blog...read it...I think you may get a kicj out of it...

Snip:

Today, I discovered a thread on Freerepublic.com that showcased the ignorance, gullibility and sheer stupidity of today’s Republicans. I really belive that the posts on this thread are classic examples of how the members of this forum are totally manipulated by liars in the media, such as one of ther often-quoted heroes, Sean Hannity....



Snip 2:
While I am not interested in cheering for Democrats, I can say without a doubt that my 3 years covering media deception have clearly proven to me that Democrats who oppose the Bush administration know exactly why they hold their views. On the other hand my experience with Bush supporters share three common traits; blind faith, a lack of information and no curiosity whatsoever! In a nutshell, Bush haters seem to know a great deal more about the Bush administration than do Bush supporters. This speaks volumes!

3. reaction v. analysis

Ask why they oppose liberalism (if there is such a thing) and the reason will essntially be 'I don't like it', 'It's wrong' or 'It's unamerican.' No reason beyond that gut reaction. Now, we have people like that too, but we also have a lot of people relying on evidence.

6. They can't even define Liberal

I asked the counter protesters at the RNC to define the word Liberal after someone called me one. I took $10 out of my pocket and offered it to anyone (Republican) who can tell me what a liberal was. I went home with my $10 to a roar of applause!

4. If your only source of "news" is FAUX and

you listen non-stop to Hannity and Rush, there is no possible way you could not be a dumbshit "moran."

8. Freepers are "...mindless, uninformed, unsophisticated mental midgets"

"They are strong in numbers, week in intellect, show no signs of the ability or willingness to think for themselves, and they are full of irrational hate based on inaccurate or unsubstantiated information."

Well...I could not have said it any better.

I guess I hit the nail on the head;-)
Thanks :D

11. The posts on Free Republic are actually brilliant!

I am convinced that someone somewhere is paying to maintain Free Republic as a forum and is paying for a lot of the posts made on that web-site.

The paid-for posts are being used by RW-ers to mold the thought of gullible Americans, who are being led by the nose on a lot of issues.

Notice how many of the thoughts expressed on Free Republic come in short, aphoristic phrases. And how those posts are almost always spelled correctly, even when the underlying thought being expressed in the post is absolute hogwash, illogical, a racial slur, non-responsive and/or stupid. Folks, people who are THAT dumb can't spell and cannot negotiate the rules of English grammar.

This article on Media Matters for America really opened my eyes on Free Republic and the people who post there.

MMFA investigates: Who is Jerome Corsi, co-author of Swift Boat Vets attack book?

Friday August 6, 2004



While much has been written about the identity and history of John E. O'Neill -- one of the authors of the forthcoming Regnery book Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry (whose links in the GOP go back to his days as "protégé of Nixon-era dirty trickster Charles Colson") -- little has been said about his co-author, Jerome R. Corsi, PhD.

<snip>

On August 6, Salon.com's Joe Conason documented links between Swift Boat Veterans for Truth and the conservative online forum www.FreeRepublic.com. Conason noted that the designer of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth website is Robert A. Hahn, a director of the Free Republic Network, a conservative activist organization affiliated with FreeRepublic.com. Scott Swett, who is listed as the webmaster of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth website, swiftvets.com, also appeared on FOX News Channel host Sean Hannity's August 5 radio show to discuss the group. Swett posts frequently to FreeRepublic.com, using the pseudonym "Interesting Times," and is also a director of the Free Republic Network. The wintersoldier.com website to which Swett has contributed articles is a project of the Free Republic Network.

Corsi is also a frequent participant in FreeRepublic.com's online forums, posting under the pseudonym "jrlc" since 2001. (Click here to read a full set of Corsi's posts; click here to read the post in which "jrlc" admits to being Jerome Corsi.)

On FreeRepublic.com, Corsi has, among other things, said that "ragheads" are "boy buggers"; referred to "John F*ing Kerry"; called Senator Hillary Clinton a "Fat Hog"; referred to her daughter as "Chubby Chelsie" Clinton; referred to Janet Reno as "Janet Rhino"; called Katie Couric "Little Katie Communist"; suggested Kerry was "practicing Judaism"; and expressed the wish that a small plane that had crashed into a building in Los Angeles had instead crashed into the set of NBC'S The West Wing, thereby killing actor Martin Sheen.

Following are some examples.

<snip>

On Islam and Arabs

CORSI: Let's see exactly why it isn't the case that Islam is a worthless, dangerous Satanic religion? Where's the proof to the contrary? (04/24/2004)

CORSI: Islam is like a virus -- it affects the mind -- maybe even better as an analogy -- it is a cancer that destroys the body it infects... No doctor would hesitate to eliminate cancer cells from the body. (11/26/02)

CORSI: Islam is a peaceful religion as long as the women are beaten, the boys buggered, and the infidels killed. (11/22/2002)

CORSI: How's this as an analogy -- the Koran is simply the "software" for producing deviant cancer cell political behavior and violence in human beings. (02/15/2002)

CORSI: Think the liberal press will ever let out that these 2 were lovers -- typical Islamic boy-buggering -- older man, younger man -- black Muslims? I doubt it. Not a pretty picture, but one certain to be hidden by PC media. (11/08/2002)

CORSI: Isn't the Democratic Party the official SODOMIZER PROTECTION ASSOCIATION of AMERICA -- oh, I forgot, it was just an accident that Clintoon's first act in office was to promote "gays in the military." RAGHEADS are Boy-Bumpers as clearly as they are Women-Haters -- it all goes together. (11/18/2001)

12. Ignorance is ignorance...

...even when packaged in well constructed language. There may be plants on the forum....but once the rhetoric takes on a level above junior high school in intellect, most of the members of the forum grow silent.

It's not easy being a freeper.
