What's a freeper?
I've seen the word used often, but don't know the meaning.

2. It originated as a nickname for those who post on the Free Republic, which
is a very rightwing conservative Bush-loving website.

The name evolved into a general nickname for anyone who espouses the very rightwing conservative Bush-loving values.

7. Lots of things, I'm quite sure. The most popular appears to be
"DUmmies."

The difference, however, is that they call THEMSELVES "FReepers" too.

16. Love the name. True summary of our democracy under *
* is for shrub (which is the nickname of the boy king)

It comes from Doonesberry.

17. I offer you exhibit A.... A freeper in action
Edited on Mon May-16-05 05:15 PM by Lone_Star_Dem


http://demopedia.democraticunderground.com/index.php/Moran

Although this is the incorrect spelling of the word Moron, it is a tradition amongst many DU members to intentionally spell it this way. The term "Moran" originated from this photo (below) of a pro-war activist (a "Freeper") during the run-up to the invasion of Iraq.

This picture was originally taken during a March 2003 anti-war protest by the St. Louis Independent Media Center. The protest took place in the St. Louis suburb of St. Charles, MO, where Boeing has a missile plant (Boeing had taken over St. Louis-based defense contractor McDonnell Douglas several years earlier.). This picture has been distributed around the world among various web sites. The name of the person holding the sign is unknown.


Welcome to DU :hi:

20. Notice, if you will, the placement of the exclamation point
By putting it after the word "Brain", he by default, signed the sign in the name of "Morans".

This is how utterly stupid these people are.

Their stupidity manifests itself in a myriad of other ways.

Let's say, for them, this is par for the course.

Self professed moran?

Nah, you're correct. Utterly stupid!

23. Is it possible to name him "King Freeper"
without being a freeper? Can we name the other camps king? He's such a honest representation of what being a freeper is ... it would be a shame to let his day pass.

And yes I said king. I'm under the impression that freepers are looking for a patriarchy in the US and obviously don't care about the electoral process.

26. For all of his qualifications there are many
even more qualified freepers in the land. It's so difficult to crown a reigning king of freeperville when there are so many worthy candidates.
