FOX news told you to vote for Bush, TWICE. How could you listen to them and vote for McCain? FOX has no credibility.


...I got the feeling I changed her mind. :)

4. I hope they don't vote at all!
I hope the Repubs have a horrible turnout. Had to deal with female cousin today saying how "cute" Palin is. :puke: I hope she stays home rather than being so stupid.

6. I was out with friends today and we were discussing Obama's
speech when this freeper jumped into our conversation about Obama being toast since McCain picked Palin. We ignored him, but being a Freeper, he would not shut up. Rude POS, but then I did mention he was a freeper.

Finally, I looked at him and said it was a great pick, because when Grandpa keeled over, Palin would become POTUS, do something stupid, and be impeached. Then we would President Nancy PELOSI. Third in line.

His head exploded.

Don't know if it is true, but then I knew he was a freep and wouldn't know either.

I exploded a freeper's head.

:woohoo: :woohoo:

11. Thanks, but not brilliant, just Freeper proof.
What I have discovered about Freeps is that they are bound by their memorization of the talking points. Once they are outside those points, they are lost. Example-they are great at memorizing the multiplication tables, but they cannot apply them to life situations.

When I was wearing my homemade, "I think, therefore I am an Elitist" T-shirt, they wanted to "git me." But they had no response.


Go outside the box with them, and it will drive them crazy. After they have brewed and stewed long enough and finally found a response other than fark you, change direction. If they cannot use their learned response, that drives them crazy too.

Fun with Freepers 101 or How I Learned to Love the Double-D's

10. Being a freeper's head is empty, the explosion couldn't have left much of a mess. ..n/t

7. I got in to a little discussion with a bible thumping right winger at work.
He said out loud if he finds out anybody he knows votes for Obama he would never talk to them again.

I raised my hand and said I already voted for him in the primary and plan to vote for him in November too. It went on for a little while with me discussing the difference between democrats and republicans. I explained to him about how the robber barons who back the republican party are destroying the middle class, etc etc.

He then went to guns, gays, and abortion.

I explained how the republicans use wedge issues to get hard working average wage people to vote against their own best interests. I told him I thought the right for a citizen to own a gun was a very liberal idea. I asked him how many abortions were there before Roe vs Wade. He didn't have an answer. So I told him!
