Bhutto Follies: Part 4/4 - Conclusion: the Concludening

Final thoughts on the fractured Freeper fiesta:

· Obviously message boards usually have a great deal of spread of opinion. What was notable about this was the rarity of varied opinion on Free Republic, and the lack of people confronting each other about differing views.

· Lots of realpolitik here. People saying either Bhutto or Musharraf were OUR thugs. Thus, we need to continue to cozy up to Pakistan.

· The main factor dictating the position a thread would take was who was writing/being quoted. Conservatives were agreed with, while RINOS/Dems were disagreed with. This reactionary response is what Freepers do without their leadership.

· Finding people taking positions was difficult. Mostly Freepers were just sayin “right on” or “boy is Hillary/Obama/Huckabee stupid!”

· I see a narrative forming. Basically it is to maintain the status quo. Bhutto wasn’t all that, and we need to stick with Musharraf.

· Sorry, no links to the Free Republic pages this time. I just did a search on “Bhutto” and looked at the top 10 threads. And I’m too lazy to like to all the threads I posted to. You'll have to trust me
