Freeper links and posts should not be brought here

[DainBramaged]

We're better than this. We don't need to piss on their parade, god knows they've pissed on it on their own. I personally think we have enough to discuss without bringing that shit here. I am so tired of hiding threads, it's time to stop and just maybe be bigger than they are?

[pocoloco]

1. No sense of humor??

[DainBramaged]

3. Has nothing to do with it, I am a member of DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND, not Freeper annex

[d_b]

2. fair enough

but when Barack wins I'm waging a seven day troll jihad on that fucking dump.

[Fed_Up_Grammy]

4. Lighten up----just don't read them. Simple.

[Lil Missy]

5. I love seeing their heads explode!

:)

[gauguin57]

6. B-b-b-b-but Freepers are funny.

Especially when their heads are exploding. They've been calling Obama (and all of us) horrible names, and making threats, and telling lies and committing every kind of political sin in the book ... and you want to keep us from dancing on their graves?

Come on! We're all gonna be broke ... I need to have some free fun!

[WeDidIt]

7. That little "X" thing next to the title of a thread...

IT makes them go away.

Problem solved.

[DainBramaged]

10. Did you bother reading the body of my post?

[WeDidIt]

12. Yeah, I did

Don't like a thread? Make it go away.

My response stands.

You have no right to dictate what I do and do not post. Your right is to click on the "X" and make my thread go away for you.

[DainBramaged]

16. Or the person

[WeDidIt]

24. Your right, too

You also have a right to Alert to the mods should you so choose.

[K8-EEE]

45. Exactly! I prefer the freeper posts to

the come into the principal's office type lecture posts.

I think freeperville is fascinating, in a horror film kinda way

[MrMickeysMom]

55. Yes...

Their world is so strange to me (!!!1!11!!!11!)

[Doctor_J]

8. Amen

I don't want to hear from freeperville, sludge, moonie times, fox "news", or hate radio.

[Doityourself]

9. I love seeing them implode...fruck em

[Curtland1015]

11. I understand your point... but personally, I want every delicious morsel of their pain and suffering

It sustains me.

[DainBramaged]

13. I am sustained by the hope Obama brings us, not hatred for the fuckwads at Freeperville

[renie408]

17. Well, you can now bask in your own glory knowing that you are a better person

than many of the rest of us.

And since you are comfortable being the moral compass of the DU, I somehow think that is precisely what you will do.

[DainBramaged]

23. I'm sorry you feel the need to be surrealistic about this

I may be a prick, but I see stupid people here every day, and clicking through to the land of the Freepers or Faux news is just feeding the fire. My moral compass goes off quite often here, and I exercise my right to click the red x to control the level of idiocy I see here. I don't need to visit Freeper sites to see that.

[renie408]

33. If you use Ignore, why not just hide threads?

I have a knee jerk reaction to what I perceive to be 'hall monitoring'. It has always bugged me. If you don't want to read the Freeper threads and sully your moral compass or just set it to whirling like a box fan, don't read them. You cannot foist your idea of 'correct' on other people. Ok, you can try, but it is rarely successful.

BTW...did you mean 'sarcastic'? I have been trying to figure out 'surrealistic' and it doesn't seem to work.

[DainBramaged]

41. I said that in the body of my OP, and I meant surrealistic, because you must love to read the Freepe...

[Curtland1015]

20. Hey great. But discussing opposing views is what we do.

If you don't want to hear anything about what the Freepers, Fox News, Rush, et al think. Maybe you are on the wrong board... and I don't mean that in a smarmy way. Really. What they think is an important part of how we form our own opinions.

Know thine enemy.

It helps remind us why we fight and why we have to win.

[DainBramaged]

25. Why drag their shit in to our living room?

[Curtland1015]

29. Didn't I JUST GIVE the reason why?

:shrug:

[DainBramaged]

32. We don't invite them to discuss their viewpoints here, why bother to link to their sites?

Sorry this is beyond comprehension for so many........

36. No. You for all intents and purposes called me and MANY other people on this board stupid.

To hell with that. I offer no apologies.

What you said was insulting and wrong and if you took insult at my response to YOUR insult, too bad.

14. You need to learn how to saaaaaaavorrrrrrr them.

Nothing is quite as delightful as a panicky Freepthread.

Personally, I'm really enjoying watching them tear out their hair and roll around on the ground, pitching fits.

They are going to lose so badly. And they know it.

It would be even better if they understood *why* they are losing, but it'd be cool if my dog could drive a car, too. Both are about equally possible.

[DainBramaged]

18. Remember what it was like for us in 2000 and 2004?

I've been here since 2001, and it wasn't fun.

[renie408]

28. And yet we didn't write the same kind of batshit nuts crap you read

on the Free Republic. No, those were not fun elections. But I somehow managed to refrain from comparing Dems to jews who needed to avoid being loaded into the cattle cars.

[11 Bravo]

48. Your profile says you've been here since '02.

[Cirque du So-What]

15. I don't like any activity that increases hits on that hideous site

It's a free country and anyone can do as they like, but I'm not clicking on any links to that loony bin. Besides, I've lived long enough that I've heard all that shit already anyway. That site holds no surprises for me.

19. Their suffering will be my sustenance through the long cold winter.

Lord knows we won't have any money left for food when Bush leaves, so I'm feeding on their torment.

[WeDidIt]

22. My desire for Shadenfreude knows no bounds

I've watched Freak Republic since the impoeachment shit. I love what's coming down the pike for these pricks.

[11 Bravo]

21. Cool! It's been at least 30 seconds since the last "You shouldn't do this" thread.

Here's a thought ... you post what you wish to post, and others will post what they wish to post, and the mods (God bless 'em) will decide what's appropriate. In the meantime, I've got a mom, when she passes you can audition for the position. Until then, butt out.

[DainBramaged]

26. Another genius

too late, I hit the red x

[11 Bravo]

31. Probably not, unless you mean by comparison.

[11 Bravo]

44. Aww, damn! I didn't mean to scare you off. But now that you're gone, GFR.

[Mooney]

27. I love, love, LOVE the freeper posts.

They are laugh-out-loud funny.

[grantcart]

52. me too but I am not going over there love it when somebody does the work

and brings them back

[rpannier]

30. It's one of the few times they're actually funny

conservative humor is unfunny, but their whining and rantings are.

It's rather sad when you think about it

[Amerigo Vespucci]

37. Bullshit, with all due respect.

You don't want to read it? Don't read it. Hide the thread, ignore the user, alert the mods, call the police. Whatever you think is necessary.

"BETTER THAN THIS?"

I'm not "better" than you. I don't pretend to be "better than" ANYONE.

You're not "better" than me. You may not agree with me, but trust me. I'm not, and you're not.

"WE" aren't "better than them." THERE IS NO FUCKING "WE" and "THEM."

We're all in this together, and some of us GET IT, and some of us DON'T. Forget about the ones that get it and turn your energy towards MAKING A DIFFERENCE.

CENSORSHIP is NOT "making a difference." It's a POWER and CONTROL issue and it SUCKS.

Some of us want to tell the rest of us what to DO, what to THINK, what to SAY, what to POST.

FUCK THAT SHIT.

Censorship is one of the cornerstones of a less-than-free society.

Read the rules for posting on DU. They are readily available. I'm posting EVERY FUCKING THING SKINNER ALLOWS.

Don't like it? Get your own Web Site.

If the rules state "Freeper links and posts should not be brought here," then by all means, let's begin today.

Let's tombstone, ostracize, berate, belittle, judge and fuck with ANYONE who "brings" dangerous "Freeper links and posts" to our hallowed grounds.

BUT...

...and this is a BIG BUT...

...if we want to understand the opposition...if we want to break the tension of EIGHT FUCKING YEARS OF BUSH-CHENEY with a laugh or two...if we want to STAND AGAINST EVERY FUCKING THING THE FREEPERS STAND FOR, which is LOCK-STEP AGREEMENT WITH EVERY OTHER FREEPER...

...maybe ONE option would be to NOT CLICK ON FUCKING FREEPER THREADS if we DON'T WANT TO READ THEM.

Just sayin', with all due respect.

:patriot:

[DainBramaged]

38. Thanks but I respectfully disagree, which is why I posted this

I am voicing my opinion that we don't need to bring Freeperville shit here, we have enough to discuss, and it DISTRACTS from the objective, crushing them and controlling all there houses.

[silverojo]

59. Amerigo Vespucci, I wish I could K&R your post! - n/t

[walldude]

70. Don't Fear The Freeper....

:rofl: :rofl:

[FlyingSquirrel]

39. Are you casting asparagus at us?

:D

[DainBramaged]

40. Nah, it upsets my stomach, too much pirogi

[Catherine Vincent]

42. Tough Patooties!

:hi:

[DainBramaged]

43. I have a soft patootie

:hi:

[stolivodka]

46. I'm not above mocking those that deserve mocking.

Freepers and Repukes, in general, are a farce. For far too long, we've granted them legitimacy by acting like they represent a "different but still equal" political mindset. I think it's high time that we make it where "republican" or "conservative" have as much shame attached to them as being called "liberal". It's called politics, and we haven't been playing it, for a while.

Being in a country ruled by thugs, liars and murderers disturbs my sleep much more than the knowledge that I've been mean to some random conservatards on the internet. Join us mean people in victory. It's fun and we're driving home the point that these fellows are now out of the mainstream.

[DainBramaged]

47. Why link to their site or encourage visits there??

[stolivodka]

49. wastes their bandwidth, lowers their morale, good for s&g

Why NOT link to their site and/or encourage visits there? I, for one, think making them paranoid and demoralized is a good thing. I troll FR, all the time, and I think if you tried it, you'd like it too! :evilgrin:

[silverojo]

60. Imagine how much $$ it costs them!

In fact, I think we ought to click their links multiple times, just to bankrupt the bastards.

[IsItJustMe]

50. In general, I agree with you. I get damn sick and tired of people posting negative obscure shit

about Obama that you could only find at freeperville. Undoubtedly, these posters' motives are not, repeat, are not authentic.

But I have posted twice in the last week about what I have found over at freeperville. I have never went to the site until the other day because I wanted to know what their reaction was to McCain and the bail out.

They were mad as hell and saying some really bad things about him. I posted them hear and I think it was very appropriate for the following reasons:

1.) We can see how McNastys entire campaign is imploding

2.) It is a moral booster for Democrats to see how much McNastys own party members hate him.

So, for the most part I agree with what you are saying, but as with everything in life, there are exceptions.

[DainBramaged]

51. "these posters' motives are not, repeat, are not authentic"

That is the gist of my OP, and those that protest the loudest........

Hope you are well.


:hug:

[stolivodka]

53. "those that protest the loudest........"

Damn pesky liberals and their lame obsession with individual freedom. :sarcasm:

[DainBramaged]

57. You bet, especially when I go through my ignore list

and 9 times out of 10, every month, those that protest the loudest, have a tombstone in place of their profile. It has consistently occurred for over 7 years. I am rarely wrong.

Like the one next.

[stolivodka]

61. No room there for a difference of opinion.

The fact that they've been shut down is proof of their guilt! There are no innocent men in Prison!

Also, on an unrelated note, I love Japanese cars. They are cheap, reliable and very fuel efficient.

Dude, I'm just funnin' ya! If you read that and got pissed off, take some time away from the keyboard. I feel your sentiment, but honestly believe that there are different ways to approach politics and there's plenty of room for both mean flamers like us and namby-pamby "I'll lose an election before I gets my hands dirty" folks, too! We're a big tent! :loveya: :grouphug: :pals:

[DainBramaged]

62. I know, I am just so sick and tired of having to block the Freeper link threads

and by people I thought has class and half a brain. I love my Chebbies, all I've ever owned.

People can tell each other "screw you or fuck you" and they don't get tombstoned?? Back in the day, these two phrases were instant granite cookies, now they are nothing here.

That's what 's happened, the board has deteriorated. And the Freeper posts make it even more tasteless.

[stolivodka]

66. Things'll be better in a month or so..

Trolling Freepers will be old hat and any criticism of President-elect Obama will be crushed instantly. It'll be a nice quiet lovefest until 2010.

Just give it time, my friend. Cheers.

[DainBramaged]

67. You too, be well

[Forkboy]

68. See how easy it is though?

That's all you have to keep doing. That's the point people are making to you. :shrug:

[DainBramaged]

69. I have hundreds on my ignore list (but I cull it monthly)

and 9 out of 10 are usually tombstoned. As I have gotten older, I have little patience for bullshit.

Hope you and yours are well.

[Ferret Annica]

64. Listen, you can't herd cats

I was a poster in good standing for a few years in mostly the late nineties when they tolerated some select 'liberals.' And I've been a returning bannee that has been a major thorn in their side.

Interlocutors develop their own interests and styles when they post in forums like you forum here and their forum there. And they develop their own styles in how they interrelate.

I can understand your thinking on this, but you should entertain others will agree with you, or even remotely assuage to your wishes.

In any event, thanks for an entertaining thread topic, I always like ones with pathos and futility to them. ;)

[DainBramaged]

65. (sigh) ........... Ir you were a poster in good standing there.......

Pathos and futility, responding to your pablum.

[Ferret Annica]

74. I never agreed with the FReeper line

I went there during the time period I was involved in forest protection and doing sits in street trees in Eugene, Oregon. Jim Rob was tickled initially to have an anarchist from Eugene, Oregon posting there.

Eventually they tired of me and a few others who were tolerated when we took issue with many of the lines of crap on that forum.

I went there and participated to learn, I learn more about movie making fro watching bad movies ans seeing what not to do then when I watch good films.

In a similar vein, FR has always alarmed me and I learned an incredible amount from a unique position there. Never ever for a minute mistake me for a FReeper mindset, I am definitely and anarchist, and I usually stick to my liberal views when I post here or anywhere else.

I have learned how to communicate and understand those people much better then I used to be able to. But I would never adopt those positions of theirs in a million years.

[Batgirl]

71. Oh my, smiting those hundreds of DUers with the "big red x" sounds like a full time job.

One that may even carry a substantial risk of carpal tunnel.

Nonetheless somebody was just asking about the propriety of linking to FR a day or 2 ago, and here is what the esteemed Magistrate had to say:



http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=7375887

So you see, there already is a policy in place and you don't really need to trouble yourself with creating one.

[DainBramaged]

72. It's not a full time job, want to know how easy it is?

There, no carpal tunnel at all.

Cya

[Batgirl]

73. Oh no, I am smote! nt
