Welcome Freepers!
Now go away. I won't come and fill your forums with vitriol and ignorance if you'll do the same and stay away from DU.

What is FR down? We sure seem to be seeing a lot of Coulterites here lately.

1. Meh, no more of them than usual...
you may have coincidentally gotten into a few threads that had trolls in them, but I don't think there's been any sudden influx.

14. never ever use beer.
banana slugs love beer. You can bury mason jar lids with beer in them in your garden and they'll go swimming like aqua man, get drunk, drown, and OH MA GAWD they stink so bad you'll throw up in your calladiums just trying to get the dead drunk slugs out.

Kind of like here. They come in, they frollick, they stink up the joint.

21. It's true...
They can't spell, their grammar is horrible and they're utterly incapable of making cogent and coherent arguments. The everyday run of the mill freeptard will expose his or her amazing stupidity within a few short posts. So these intellectually crippled rednecks may come and spew some venom, but they'll be sniffed out and booted pretty quickly.

19. Yes we all need to be on our guard
Why any one of us could be a secret freeper, here to sow dissent and discord. That's how the Freepers operate. They sneak in, pretending to be a moderate or a Democrat, but they they express a wrong view. If you are not careful, their ignorance and bigotry could infect you - so the moment you suspect someone of being a closet bigot, ignore them immediately, or, if you can stomach it, post snarky hints at their identity so that others who aren't as sensitive to the Freeper Menace will know who they are dealing with.

Remember the old story about the three truckdrivers who were applying for job. The boss asked "So say you are up on a high mountain road, turning left around - how close to the edge could you get before falling off?"

The first said, "Why I could have the edge of my tire touching the right embankment, and not worry a bit."

The second said, "Shoot, that ain't nothing. I could get half my tire off the right edge!"

The third said, "Well to be safe, I stay as left as possible - so I don't really know."

Which of these three truck divers got the job? And which do you want to be like?

Remember to always be on your guard.

Bryant

60. But once they get that intelligent they just become Democrats.
So don't worry to much. They only ones you really have to worry about are the true neo-cons who KNOW they are wrong but like the money they are making from being evil.

The orginal statement should have been....So because far right groups(hate groups) support Palestine, DU'ers here that support Palestine are just closest Nazi's? My point being that we shouldn't merely claim that those who support Israel are merely Freeper lurkers.

That would at least be a start. Oh yeah, and a shower... ...A shower would be good for you too... ..Wait, and a dentist as well. If ya have time go check out a dentist.... ...Oh and before I forget, have your township check your drinking water. I think there are problems with it.

freeper males aren't very popular with women. Hence, the bitterness.

Edit: in case I need to spell it out: FReepers have trouble getting laid unless they hire a prostitute.

40. KNOW YOUR FREEPER. YOUR LIFE MAY DEPEND ON IT!
You will not be able to see his eyes because of Tea-Shades, but his knuckles will be white from inner tension... He will stagger and babble when questioned... The Freeper fears nothing. He will attack, for no reason, with every weapon at his command- including YOURS. BEWARE. Anyone observing a suspected Freeper should use all necessary force immediately. One stitch in time (on him) will usually save nine on you. Good luck. - The Chief

56. I think FR holds a "Coulter Argue-A-Like Contest" every few weeks.
Some folks have been here under dozens of names hoping to finally win the prize of a handjob from Jeff Gannon.

The rules are very simple: go off your meds, mix a pitcher of Martinis, keep a thesaurus handy, and then go for it!
