Freepers focus on the "real" WikiLeaks issue. Homosexuality.

Perused this http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2634404/posts">thread over there, where they were discussing this article from the http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/nov/28/how-us-embassy-cables-leaked">Guardian:

It was childishly easy, according to the published chatlog of a conversation Manning had with a fellow-hacker. "I would come in with music on a CD-RW labelled with something like 'Lady Gaga' … erase the music … then write a compressed split file. No one suspected a thing ... (I) listened and lip-synched to Lady Gaga's Telephone while exfiltrating possibly the largest data spillage in American history." He said that he "had unprecedented access to classified networks 14 hours a day 7 days a week for 8+ months".

The very first Freeper reply zeroed in, not on the security breach itself, but on the Lady Gaga angle (which of course, means the leaker was Gay!!). The thread went in a predictably Freeperish homophobic direction from there.

A selection of the fucknuttiest responses:

The very first reply

The second reply. "I know the answer!"

A little gay-bashing



(Oh yeah, the Birthers wanted in on this too!)

Of course, it's a gay conspiracy!

Her music makes me want to punch random strangers in the face...

Don't Get Caught in a Bad Hotel

A flashmob infiltrates the Westin St. Francis hotel in San Francisco and performs an adaptation of Lady Gaga's song "Bad Romance." The event was organized to draw attention to a boycott called by the workers of the hotel who are fighting to win a fair contract and affordable healthcare. Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer activists put the song and dance together as a creative way to tell the hundreds of thousands of LGBTQ people from all over the country coming to San Francsico in June for Pride to stay out of the boycotted hotels.

LOVED it--and the site has been duly bookmarked.

Thanks.

and a graduate of the United States Naval Academy. Somehow the military not only survived his presence, they called him a hero as well.

Not my kind of music,

In public, that shit would make one a laughing stock.

"This little queer needs to be left alone in a room full of Marines for about 5 minutes."

Do Marines really finish that quickly?

but that was my thought as well.

Their little heads will pop like popcorn. lol

The exchange of posts in the OP clearly demonstrate why our country went to hell during the Bush years. The Republicans and their minions were too pre-occupied with their own predisposition of hate to focus on anything else.
