1. It's called "cutting off one's nose to spite one's face"
A perfect psycho moment

6. The freepers want to boycott Fox news...
for their unfair treatment of Saint Palin. One of them actually used the phrase "Faux News -- we distort, you comply."

Apparently, without either irony or self-awareness.

That'd be fucking awesome if they actually successfully boycott Fox News.

12. It would be something constructive for them to do. We should encourage them if possible.

It'll be like a piece of performance art.

4. It is true that FAUX is going after Palin though.
They have to blame someone, I guess. Both FAUX and the Freeps.

Try looking in a mirror, morans. And yes, Moosealini absolutely WAS the final nail in the McCain coffin, but he would have been fucked anyway as a known advocate of the deregulation policies that have destroyed this country economically.

32. They hope blaming her makes their failed ideology look less like the problem.
Notice the poster who called Bush a RINO? Same types used to call Reagan similar names. The problem for them is that every time they get their way, everything goes to hell in a handbasket. Rather than admit that their ideas are failing, they throw their champions under the bus. It's the only way they can continue being so deluded.

5. Veiled threat against Fox News anchor on the thread
To: montag813
"Also, perhaps some NY Freepers can get photos of Shep and his boyfriend and post it online."

Why?

27. Leave it to the Freeps to blame it on the gay guy.
Guess they're still mad at Shep for calling out "Joe" the Tool?

20. ...I'm feeling a presence...
ohhhhhmmmmmmmmmm........ yes, there is definitely a presence here... Marquis de Sade? Is that you? Speak if you can hear us.....

MARQUIS: Yes, it is I, the Marquis de Sade... and for chrissakes could you please quit pronouncing it "shar-day"? Anyway, I felt someone calling me here and I'm here now, so what is it? I'm busy with a few new... ideas...

ELBO: Take a look over here. (Clicks link)...

MARQUIS: So what am I... huh? Jesus Criminey on a Biscuit... what the hell am I looking at?

ELBO: Pretty twisted, eh?

MARQUIS: You know what, I thought I was one deranged fuck, but WOW. This is positively inspirational. How the hell am I going to top this? Looks like I'm going to have to bump up my game a few levels to keep up with this sort of competition... And what the... omigosh... now that, what... how... how do you even DO that? And with a... now that's just not right... ye gods... turn it off. Just turn the damn tubes off, I've seen enough.

ELBO: I thought you might enjoy that. Anyway, I can see you're going to be quite busy, so we won't keep you any longer. Good luck.

MARQUIS: (mumbles) I'm going to be pulling overtime for the next two years, and HE tells me "Good Luck". A fucking entire circle of hell just for him if there's a bit of justice in the universe.

ELBO: I heard that. Don't go away mad, just go away. Thanks, okay, bye!

10. Bizarrowurld...
Heh.

Seems to be a new malady here.

Psychofreeposis Mediaris - n. - A malady specific to Freepers involving an inflammation of the emotional centers of the brain primarily caused by feelings of dread that the media does not love them as much as they thought. Symptoms can include feelings of rejection, and anger and may be accompanied by childish acting out and biting the hand that feeds them.

11. Notice their "Boycott" is only for one week. It's as if deep down inside they know...
... that Fox "News" is the only place where they can remain plugged into their bizarre Matrix.

Just take the red pill and unplug already!

16. Those fools are loopy beyond imagination
and apparently will grow more insane and misinformed as they lean on Reich Wing hate talk hosts and other extremists for news.

When Fixed Newz is too liberal for you then you have officially joined a cult of fascism based on utter ignorance.

21. Help me here...
So if Freepers boycott Faux News then who is left to watch them?

And when they hit bottom will they then turn Liberal to attract the left?

26. They'd have to fire their entire TV lineup
Probably keep the format, but replace the hosts with left wing counterparts. For instance, you could retool Hannity & Colmes with Mike Malloy taking Hannity's role. But who would be the weak assed right wing "Colmes" who didn't say much?

30. Hahaha ... That one guy "locked Fox out of his dish".
Edited on Thu Nov-06-08 11:12 PM by JohnnyRingo
like he can't trust himself, and if it's available, he might have to switch it on.
Doesn't he already know the lock out code? Is he so stupid he thinks he'll lie to himself when he tries to remember it?

I laughed at this guy, because it sounds like something that happened to him before:
We bought Fox News a dress, picked them up in a limo and pinned the corsage on them. Now that they are at the dance they don’t even know us.


This is a good time for them to move into that bomb shelter thay built back in the '80s. They can't watch any media anymore, they officially have a boycott on everything now.

Dumbfucks are just too funny. "Let's hang our best friend to show how mad we are about losing!!"
