This is a weird one, even for that horrible place.

Edited on Fri Dec-08-06 08:19 PM by Lautremont

I'm talking about Freak Republic, of course. Yes, I can tolerate checking out the craziness there (briefly and infrequently), because I don't live around any freepus types. I have every sympathy and understanding for those who do, as well as for those who simply can't stomach the place even on a shake-your-head-at-the-craziness level.

Anyway, they've got a hate-on for Bob Dylan going. I just saw it, so I thought I'd link it here for the bold. It's truly nuts. Has Dylan done or said something lately to stir up that nest of idiots?

Here's the link: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-backroom/1750746/posts

edited to add a warning: It's incredibly racist as well. Surprise.

2. Bob Dylan: Evil metaphor user

Edited on Fri Dec-08-06 08:40 PM by teach1st

From the thread:

He uses Metaphor and Analagy, sometimes mixing the two, which is Anti-Christian. We Belive in the Literal Truth in All Things.

Wait. I thought Jesus taught using metaphor.

(On edit: posters at Free Republic called out this OP on those same grounds)

5. Well, I might be making assumptions, but when I read this bit:

"- He has written songs that could be interpreted as Anti-Christian. This from a ______!!!"

I imagined the missing word to be "Jew." There's another bit where the post seems angry that he's not a Christian. Anyway, maybe it's mean to assume they're all frothing bigots over there, but...

6. Ahhh, missed that part.

And someone in the thread actually accused the OP of being an anti-Semite.
