"Words had to change their ordinary meaning and to take that which was now given them. Reckless audacity came to be considered the courage of a loyal ally; prudent hesitation, specious cowardice; moderation was held to be a cloak for unmanliness; ability to see all sides of a question, inaptness to act on any. Frantic violence became the attribute of manliness" -Thucydides

| Pic of the week. From the unironic use of grumpycat as Freepers, to the idea that foreign aid is treason. |

| Freepers can photoshop anyone as their ally, and they choose |

| I do love it when Freepers make liberalism all metal. |

| A Freeper in the wild. |
Curly, dammit. Not Moe.
ReplyDeleteAlthough in fairness, the quote's mismatched in the pic, as well...
Oh, jeez. I don't usually edit, but this time my shame compels me.
ReplyDeleteAt least I didn't say Harpo...
Pic of the week should come with a little blue ribbon logo, or something.
ReplyDeleteI like the toothless pic ... I wonder which of the old lady freeper's face pic was colored in brown and used as an Obama stand-in?
ReplyDeleteNew mystery brewing at FR:
ReplyDeleteMestamachine is/was supposedly in poor health and collecting funds from freepers for "medical expenses".
Her erstwhile Norwegian boyfriend, freeper Hardraade, was codging donations for her too.
Now hardraade is "account banned or suspended", and
mestamachine's home page is blank.
Previously, mestamachine's home page was full of flowery pics, and updates on her medical condition, and links to where freepers could donate money to her.
Freeper Springfield Reformer was also involved a bit in raising funds for her. Though still active, no mention by him of either Mestamachine's or Hardraade's status.
She was supposedly a long time frequent poster to FR, lots of ping lists, etc. Her death would have, at least, been noted and known to many freepers.
Has she been disappeared by JimRob and the harpies for some unknown reason?
Perhaps they didn't pay the freeper tax on their fund raising efforts
DeleteHardraade and mestamachine share a blog (!) at junipersec.wordpress.com -- read it for some real craziness, including Hardraade's tirades against Norway and various Internet security companies.
DeleteIn the last few posts he begins to outline his case against freerepublic and jimrob. Good stuff ;).
Thank you laura in la!
DeleteI thank you too laura ... I'll be checking that site out regularly. Lots of freeper deliciousness to come!
DeleteButterdezillion asks, What Do You See?
ReplyDeleteA diver (or a shoe or some debris) just happened to be in the exact spot where Loretta Fuddy's plane crashed, so this proves Fuddy was killed so she couldn't tell the truth about Obama's birth certificate!
I'm almost feeling sorry for butterdezillion these days ...
Deleteshe claims to just be a housewife/mother from Nebraska who just got interested in the Obama birth certificate issue.
But over time, one could track her descent down the rabbit hole into total kook land. Her "interest" has become a total obsession, thinking she finds secret clues behind every news article, every picture, every video.
Well, she wouldn't be the first conspiracy theorist to have lost everything she holds dear in a search for the ever elusive "truth", and she certainly won't be the last.
This is enough to generate 366 comments (so far)??? Can you imagine if these people were to put this much time and energy into something useful?
DeleteSpeaking of birthers, and paranoiacs in general - wouldn't it be funny if people like Ted Nugent were secretly playing an over-the-top role because they're privately against the right wing and are doing some performance art? I doubt it, but then again, there's no quicker way to torpedo somebody's campaign for election than to attach themself to Ted Nugent.
DeleteSo butterbatzinthebelfry talks about the status of "11 of the 9 souls" on board the plane. That sounds like fuzzy math to me.
DeleteWell, I don't know about Ted Nugent, for example, secretly playing an over-the-top role, but I do believe that Ted Nugent and his kind eventually torpedo themselves.
DeleteFor egomaniacs such as Ted N ... the more attention they get, the more outrageous they become.
Ted Nugent has crossed the line into ridiculousness, as has Jesse Jackson on the left.
I see Sara Palin following this same path. After the 2014 elections, Sara P will be seen as a liability for association with any serious candidate.
That's an amazing thread. I'd love to hear the dinner table conversation at BZ's house.
DeleteWell, duh. What else am I going to do with a picture of Karl Marx?
DeleteWhen Stephen Colbert first came out with his show some Freepers actually believed he was one of them.
ReplyDeleteBut... but if the Stooges are on their side, why is Curly blinking? I thought only liberals blinked at FR.
ReplyDeleteMeshugeMikey can't resist showing off his leet Photoshop skillz, even though that's pretty much the only thing he knows how to do with it.

DeleteFreepers subscribing to the "What I don't know about can't hurt me" school of morality:

Hey, lib...you might be interested to know that the real name of your messiah, Karl Marx, was Moses Mordecai Marx Levi.
DeleteHe was a Jew, a Zionist, a Satanist and a member of the rather ironically named League of the Just, which was branch of the Illuminati, and he was related to the Rothshilds.
Don't believe for a second he actually had your best interests in mind, though...he served his Illuminati mafia bosses, not the masses.
Oh, and he said this little thing:
"Thus heaven i've forfeited, i know it full well. My soul, once true to God, is chosen for Hell."
And this is the guy you liberals worship...sickening. But then, your entire ideology, Liberalism, is mentally ill.
You think we don't know all that? Why do you think we worship him?
DeleteIf a freeper bakes a gay wedding cake in the forest and no one finds out about it, does it still make a sound?
DeleteThey've made it very clear they're willing to serve any other kind of sinner, as long as (1) they don't know about it, and (2) as long as the sin isn't existing as a gay person. Yeah, that's a really consistent way to apply the force of law.
Good one, euphgeek.
DeleteHeil Marx!
Heil the Illuminati!
Noted segregaton fan and bbq restaurant owner dies. Freeps discuss how segregation was a great idea till the big lib government trampled the rights of business owners.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure war daddy has a storm front handle

Good riddance.
DeleteRegarding the 4th photo. If the eyes were a piercing blue, all us Pratchett folks would be happy to claim him as our own. And of course we'd trust him.
