21. Thanks for posting that
Guess what fellow DUers? We aren't a pool of pretties, either. Some of us are clearly redneck, and some of us (through no fault of our own) are "mouth breathers", and some of us are "toe-suckers", and some of us drive pickups, and live in trailers, and live with their parents.

We are smart enough to come up with better substance than physical appearance, medical conditions, living conditions, and whatnot as a means to ridicule freepers.

These kinds of insults say more about the insulter, in my opinion.

36. Well said! I agree with you 100% ........... in fact....
I live in a trailer (in the middle of 12.5 acres), do NOT own a suit or tie, wear jeans all the time, have a house full of kids, dogs, cats (and probably a few other critters).... there's plenty of other things to criticize freepers for... see example below..

16. Geez -- And DUers Always Criticize Freepers for Bigotry
Anyone who doesn't know perfectly normal people like that has too narrow a world.
:eyes:

These are the people Howard Dean thinks should be Democrats. They would be if they voted their economic interests. But class and regional attitudes are difficult to hide. Ironic for the party of inclusiveness and equality.

19. Why are we so obsessed with Freepers around here?
They come and troll here and when they are not trolling we are pulling out their posts and making threads like "OMG the Freepers said this", "OMG the Freepers did that" (typically about the kind of things that are entirely unsurprising coming from them) and posting their pictures etc. :shrug:

I mean its bad enough that they are filling the web with their crap-why are we giving that ridiculous site more attention and hits :shrug:?
And ok-I think its kinda mean to make fun of what they look like :-|

Some of them like to send letters with white power to liberals. Some of them call hospitals and delay life-giving surgery to people in need. Some of them post death threats and call people's employers to try to get them fired.

They are not harmless by any stretch of the word.

pull our stuff and make fun of it as well. So what's the difference. Yes it is juvenile in retrospect but then again it is politics and this where people tend to get a little bit immature with each other.

Then again the freepers that obsess over this site post and ridicule our stuff more so than what DUers would with their stuff.

32. Actually
I think you are kind of mean. I live in rural Ontario where there are lots of "poor white trash" and I don't care what their politics they make my heart ache for them. I wish these women well. I could throw up when you post photos of rich billionaires buying thousand dollar purses and shoes and being so obviously out of touch with how the poor live that they come across as monsters. Like Condi and her shoes and Conrad Black's wife posing in VOGUE with her fabulous wardrobe and jewels boasting, "I have an extravagance that knows no bounds." I get riled when people refer to "trailer park trash" This is mean. Have a heart, willyu?

40. Looks to me like people gathering for a holiday feast.
Now, I admit, the cigar over the turkey is worthy of a laugh, but without the trailer park joke. It's just gross, no matter who does it, DUer or freeper or anyone else.

As far as looks, that is something they do. I recall a certain email that went around, showing all the beautiful rethug women- patricia heaton, janine turner, and then some pictures of Democratic women that were unflattering or just plain photo shopped to make them physically less appealing than the rethug women shown. Childish, juvenile and mean-spirited is what I considered that email, and unfortunately, also this thread.

I don't know you. I don't recall ever seeing you on DU before. This may be out of character for you. I hope so. Please, let's not do this again. I find it out of bounds, just like making fun of rick santorum's kids, even though he puts them on display.

66. WELL SORRY BUT
I may not be modeling any spring collections this spring in Milan

BUT...

There is NO WAY I would wear a mullet and carry a sign that said *morans, or wear a sweater with xmas trees and crap appliqued in China on it (or those goofy hats that I see featured above)

Do they by some standards look like any other Tom, Dick or Harriettte?

Perhaps...but there is an essence about them (a stench if you will) that gives them away.

Yeah, it could be said (by some) that freepers are supposedly human BUT...they have a *style* about themselves that is really bad and worst of all they display it proudly and think themselves to be ultimately cool, powerful and in charge.

They are not only *neo cons* they apparently fancy themselves as the fabled *neo tech man* (If you are unfamiliar with him do a google lol)

63. This is kinda mean
The freepers are people too. To paraphrase Donald Rumsfelt, "morally confused people", but people at that. I wouldn't like for freepers to make fun of my pictures and say that I'm ugly and I'm sure they wouldn't like us doing that to them.

I'm gonna take the high road and wish the freepers a Merry Christmas (no "Happy Holidays"...just for you, freepers!) and a happy new year too.

64. I think so too.
They're just average looking dorks at a party. Leave 'em alone.

68. To be fair, those people, I believe, were being deliberately silly for the camera.
It was, after all, a gift exchange with purposefully stupid gifts, or at least that's the impression I get from reading the thread.

I despise FReeps, but please, don't be ridiculously hypocritical. We're not particularly beautiful ourselves. Being a judgmental asshole based on looks is for FReeps, not DUers

73. I'm guessing the average DUer is exactly as attractive
as the average Freeper, which is exactly as attractive as the average person.

72. This is blatantly offensive.
These are average, normal-looking people acting goofy for the camera. Mocking their appearances is beneath us. I'm honestly appalled.

79. I thought you were supposed to judge a person by the content of their
character not the "Color" of their skin.

Have the rules changed?

I'll laugh at some of the Freeper posts, get upset by others, but not do the same over their physical appearance. Just ain't my bag.
