that 'freeper' is not an epithet, it's what they call themselves

3. "Freeper" - member of "Free Republic"
FR is a message board frequented by deranged lunatics who believe every word that proceeds from Rush Limbaugh's Oxycontin stuffed cheeks, and most of whom actually believe George Bush Jr was personally annointed by God Himself. "Freeper" is a name they gave themselves, but around here it is synonymous with "right wing sheep raping sister loving dipshits".

9. A freeper is a bad bad word around here
They are a bunch of doofuses - usually wimpy guys who want to be tough. They read every word of Ken Starr's report on the Lewinsky/Clinton scandal. They listen to Rush Limbaugh and watch Hannity and Colmes. They call women rude names - and then wonder why they don't get dates. You get the idea. I think they get so wound up avout Clinton b/c chicks liked him. They are really worked up by Kerry because he married well. $$$ Cha Ching. But no one wants to be with their loser selves.

I hope that explains it! I'm a relative newby also. But I knew what a freeper was because I'm surrounded by them here in Texas. Welcome to DU!

:toast:
