Has anyone read the definitions for DU on Urban Dictionary?

It seems like Urban Dictionary may be owned by Faux or some other freeper entity.

31. I laughed a little too.

My favorite is:

"A web-based forum/community with but one goal: overthrowing the American Republic and replacing it with a communist dictatorship."

Yeah, baby!

3. Here's freeper-

Freeper
Right-wing political activist. So-called, because it is the nickname of the denizens of the ultra-right wing Web site FreeRepublic.com. Similar to "ditto-head."

Also spelled FReeper
Bill thinks that anyone who opposes President Bush should be thrown in jail. He's a total Freeper.

They seem much nicer to them.

19. Yeah, haven't quite decided on you yet, but being a fair minded liberal...

Welcome to DU. I have to ask, what's up with the name, because it could be taken the wrong way.

21. Thanks for the welcome.

I got the nickname in high school and it just sort of stuck. How could it be taken the wrong way?

28. Stevie Wonder can not see. He is blind.

I might be off base here, just a thought.

32. I knew that much about Stevie Wonder; I wasn't sure if there was some uber analogy that I missed out

on. That is pretty deep thinking, though.

12. I'm starting to think it's Rupert Murdock.

I've been pretty urban most of my life, and I've never heard that one.

29. Gotta give them points for rhythm, though.

Memorize that sucker and it'll just ROLL off your tongue. (Warning: Not to be used as a greeting to your mother...)

6. Their "Free Republic" listings aren't any more complimentary.

13. The defining character is disdain for the political minded. If you care at all, it's too a fault..

Edited on Fri Aug-07-09 02:32 PM by Echo In Light

...by the standards of the de-politicized who fail to understand that the political is personal, and not some obscure world way over in the hinterlands.

The drawback is, as the saying goes, those who believe in nothing will believe anything. So if the corporate culture is by and large saturated w/right-wing rhetoric/messages, even the non-political who don't necessarily side w/repubs tend to abide very conservative/rightward beliefs/ideals on a wide range of subjects.

18. I'm outraged about this!

I think I have to stand in the front of their servers with big signs to protest them, yell and howl at them. A good slogan to chant would be "UD is just DU in reverse!" You're with me, yes? Tomorrow? I have some time. Do you?

30. You'll be there, too, yes?

I made you a big sign on sturdy cardboard that reads "UD! Show me your server certificate! We demand it *NOW*! It's HUGH!!11!!! (And don't show me some Microsoft crap!" This will tell them. That is the biggest issue, forget any other things!

This is big!

Really!

Important!

There's a website that has some crap about DU!

23. that would explain why the definitions for freepers are more complimentary.

Now we know what RimJob's been doing instead of upgrading FR.

24. Here is a spot-on definiton

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Jim%20Robinson

Jim Robinson
The owner of FreeRepublic.com, who scams his mindless, retarded, sub-human members into giving him millions of dollars to run a website that looks 10 years out of date.
I just saw Jim Robinson by a private jet...must have been from all those Freeper donations. Damn, they're idiots.

27. You should also take a look at the thousands upon thousands of racist entries as well.

In other words, the site is irrelevant.
