1. I'm so happy that the nightmare is theirs now
And I hope it's at least as long as the one they gave us.

10. Piss on these knuckle-dragging whiner troglodytes.
Someone needs to tell them denial is not a river in Egypt.

This country has a habit of electing centrists or idiots to run this country. An idiot and his henchmen fucked everything up. Now it's time for a centrist to clean up the mess.

I guarantee the country will survive an Obama presidency handily. It will probably take more than one term to fix all the damage George W. Bush and the Republicans have done to our beloved country over the last 8 years.

Fuck these mentally ill Freepers. Some psychiatrists out there are gonna get rich on these guys, never mind all the alcohol and drug manufacturers.

They have no inner strength and are entirely delusional.

As far as I'm concerned, they can have the "red states". The liberals will take everything else. That OK with you, Freepers?

Oh, and one last thing. Obama won fair and square in a landslide. GET OVER IT.

We're lonely...we need you!

2. I refuse to take joy in peoples' sorrows...
Edited on Thu Nov-06-08 03:19 AM by Indi Guy
Yeah, I felt the same thing in 2,000 & '04 that these people did.

Now is not a time to gloat. It's time for healing.

Let's be gracious winners and show respect to our fellow Americans of every stripe???

4. These people will never be with us, so there's no healing possible
They're so far right that you couldn't find them with a telescope. These are not the people we must join with, because they hate us and refuse to join us.

As such, they are worthy of contempt.

13. Your ideology is equally as dangerous as that you oppose...
Edited on Thu Nov-06-08 04:37 AM by Indi Guy
Can two wrongs ever make a right?

Are you so rabid in your beliefs that if a Republican actually tried to be honest with you -- you'd have no room in your mind for his honesty?

19. Why don't you go over to Free Republic
and post a nice, friendly, bipartisan message saying something like "hey, fellow Americans. It was a good game. I know it's depressing, but don't worry: we've been where you are. Eventually, you get over it and come back ready to fight for your beliefs. I may not agree with you on policies, but I think we can both agree that America's been through much worse (Great Depression, American Revolution, the Civil War). We'll be OK."

Let me know if you get a positive response. That's IF you make it past the mods.

They were roundly flamed and banned.

Sorry, Indy, but you just have no idea how completely unrelenting the radical right is.

28. Nah. Screw 'em
the anguish of the Freeper is not the same as what we went through when the SCUSA stole, I mean determined, the election in 2000. We actually were betrayed and the entire nation suffered horribly as a result.

What are the freepers facing?

No difference at all. Most of these marginal bottom-feeders will probably do better financially under Obama, which will be an irony too sophisticated for them to comprehend, let alone appreciate. Most will attribute any prosperity to Jesus anyway.

Let them suffer, and do whatever you can to encourage them in that regard. Don't waste too much time on it, though, because there is work to do.

30. They will never heal
because the conservative media has countless lies so ingrained in their minds about Obama that they will never see him as anything but an evil socialist that wants to take away all their proparty.

3. This one is a real freak....
To: SoftwareEngineer
Welcome to the klub.
America has been raped, thanks to a practically illiterate electorate.

We have a lot to thank GWB for.

He needs to abdicate early, take the RINOs with him and let our newly-elected master take the over the reins of a nation that once experimented with democracy.

With Obama in there will be no drilling for new oil, no missile defense system, abortion mills popping up like porno shops in our once polite cities and every day of his rule will seem like a drab, black and white day. The immigration from Somalia, Nigeria, Haiti, etc. will crowd our muslim cities and there will be no safe street to stroll.

We have been sold out.

5. You know what's hilarious about that thinking?
It's their precious churches that are bringing all these Somalian, etc., immigrants. Even my own little former Catholic church is doing it, in a small city.

If they don't want immigrants coming in, they should take it up with their churches, not with Obama.

9. They all are. They're getting exactly the hell that they deserve. It amazes me how
their delusional hatred feeds upon itself. They simply cannot fathom what a wonderful thing just happened, and how positively that will effect them.

I'm off to enjoy my "missile defense-less, muslim city".
G'night all

7. This one is pretty good...
To: catfish1957

May I offer you some Canadian goods...we make lots of nice things here and we already export a huge amount to your country.

Look at the benefits...you can buy well made stuff from us that contains no melamine or lead...safe in the knowledge that we are a Conservative ruled country and at the same time sock it to your Socialist President.

:rofl:

8. That's some pretty far-out stuff there
I've heard of drama queens, but these guys are the Thespian Emperors of the Universe.

They seriously need to get loaded and laid. A little of that Northern Californian herbal sunshine would also go a long way.

:evilgrin:

12. here's a rare display of cognitive dissonance
Goodbye Free Republic! I need a break, I have to figure out what I am feeling...Its depressing and I am not sure what this all means. where we wrong? <:)> Was it all a lie?

How could so many people be fooled? Or is it us? Nothing from the Birthc Cert. Nothing from Whitey Tape? Odinga?
Muslim? Socialist? I dont know anymore. all I know is my children question whether I am going to continue spewing right wing junk...and my mom is scared to death, and I dont know why I told her any of this, when every Republican including McCain will just turn around and pretend like nothing happened...they will go back to their lives and we are left with the pieces!

I will never get this tied up into a campaign. I am tired, I havent had anything to eat in two days, I cant sleep...and last night I almost threw up....meanwhile people are celebrating...African Americans are crying because they feel justice and peaace/// I saw more white people celebrating....and I am sick? Nah! I got to make sence <:)> of this......Joe the plumber...he was great....poor Sarah...I hope we didnt ruin her chances in the future...with the Redneck stuff and allowing people to humiliate her. I will pray and try for the next month to stay away from FR and TV and get closer to God.

Good Luck and God Bless America....My family doesnt know me anymore time to reconnect.

22. Rare? Over there?
I know, :sarcasm:

Seriously though, they don't realize that the campaign messages were exaggerations? The whole point was to get them fired up enough to vote?

What a sad and lonely existence.

To: SoftwareEngineer
May I offer one more to your list?
GO TO THE RANGE! Practice. Then, practice some more. Envision any one you like to be downrange. It'll help, I'm sure.

21. Proof that we need the Fairness Doctrine more than ever
Freeper Response:
------------------

One thing is for sure...we need Laura, Rush, Glenn, Sean, Mark, and even some Savage now more than ever. I listen to about 4 talk radio shows a day and may listen to more to make it through the next 4 years.

And mark my words, they try silencing them, and I will take to the streets. There will be another Civil War in this country if they try to take away talk radio. Talk radio is ALL we have left to keep us somewhat sane as the country turns to Socialism.

23. UNDO Ronnie Ray-Gun's Media Deregulation
We must break the corporate monoply hold on local radio. No more Clear Channel or Rupert Murdoch. Each Corporation can only own 7 AM and 7 FM stations.... and NO cross oownership of Newspapers.

We must restore free speech.

29. Don't put this on the back burner
The airwaves belong to US. THe Fairness Doctrine is a minimum necessity in reestablishing a civil society in which objective reality and truth have a place at the table.

You can have your own opinions. You cannot have your own facts.

The right has spent decades presenting their opinion as fact, and we have had precious little opportunity to refute them. The public discourse has been like a 24/7 version of Hannity/Colmes and we all know what that is about.

Would Rachel Maddow seem so refreshing if the airwaves had not been so unfair and unbalanced all these years?

If only we could force the networks to take the news out of their bottom line.
