2 week haitus

I'm off to Saratoga Springs to work on the Scott Murphy campaign for the next 2 weeks. Hope you can find other places to fill your crazy quotient! I recommended tbogg and alicublog.

Convictions

I guess Congressman Murtha got an award from the Navy. It was signed by Bush's outgoing Secretary, and was probably payback for lots and lots of military contracts from the king of pork. Silly, if you ask me. But to Freepers, the goring of a sacred cow:

yarddog goes for the hyperbole right out of the gate:

I know he was in the Marines but I don’t care. He is simply a traitor. Giving him that award is an insult to all Americans who love their country.

Ann Archy's post is notable for it's odd construction:

WHO is the Secy of the Navy???? I want his NAME!!! What a FREAK.

Freak? Who says that about one's political opposites?

TurtleUp can totally speak because he has friends in the Marines:

I have friends and relatives who were and are Marines, and I am disgusted at the disrespect shown to all Marines by the SECNAV. The Marines work for the Secretary of the Navy, as part of the Department of the Navy, and yet the Navy is presenting this award to one of the few public figures who hates America and our military as much as Obama does? To quote Murtha:

FlingWingFlyer sees things in pretty stark terms:

WTF?!?!

The military is now handing out awards to its enemies? Weird.

And then the always civil Freepers start on the death/torture threats/fantasies:

Leo Farnsworth goes old-style:

I believe he should win the Keelhauled award.
Hope the ship hasn't been bottom painted in five or more years.

Syncro goes for a detailed fantasy:

John Murtha: Traitor

Fair trial

Conviction

Hung by the neck until dead

Awarding this medal to this despicable anti-Troop lying politician is proof that the upper echelons of the military are no longer servicemen but politicians.

The one responsible for this should be tried for aiding and abetting the enemy.

Wait, Bush's SECNAV should be tried for treason? Serious business.

Well, at least he gets due process in the court of the Internets.

Monday potpourri.

Particularly crazy posts I found around Free Republic over the weekend:

Nonstatist tells us what kind of regime the Freepers want:

Franco and Pinochet, two of my favorites. Way under appreciated , IMO

If you had any doubt that these people are all about totalitarian rule and the deaths of their opponents, look no further.


oldbrowser takes a common Free Republic position:

I think Israel has mandatory service for it's young people. I like the idea of the discipline of military service which instills national pride.

We have a great country but we are at a tipping point where we have more takers than we have givers. Everybody wants their "rights" but nobody ever talks about responsibilities.

If it were done correctly, I believe we could revive the American spirit which started to wither away fifty years ago.

That being said, if the present socialist administration has anything to do with it, it could spell the end of freedom as we know it.

"It's a good policy, but if Obama does it, it's HORRIBLE!"



SpitfyrAce actually goes farther than Rand, straight into Master Race territory:

It strikes me as hilarious that libs can talk about how some people are born gay or born some such way that justfies their standards or morality, but when someone is born to be a leader and producer in our capitalist system then that person must surely be a greedy bastard deserving of nothing but scorn. Nice.

Jeez, I hate Nazi analogies in general, but here you have bald-faced social Darwinism.

Saturday Pix

Specter is in trouble. Also, sold secrets to the Democrats, I guess?

TAXES ARE NOT STEALING!

Non Freeper-originated cartoon depicting Dems as cannibals? Wow!

1. There's not even a correlation here, much less causation.
2. I assume when the market goes back up, that'll be Obama's fault too?

Ugliness

This is Obama's nominee for head of the FDA. She's 53:

You may have noticed she is a women. Freepers did too:

bimboeruption notes the important bits:

A liberal, know-nothing, loud mouthed commie, by the looks of it.

You are soooo right! The pic sez it all.

I bet she can carp with the best of them.

Why are lib women so ugly and mean looking?

ZirconEncrustedTweezers doesn't put too fine a point on things:

I’ll take “I Wouldn’t Hit It With A Stolen D**k” for $2000, Alex.

Well, shit! It's tragic you won't fuck the head of the FDA, Zircon.

Then there's this tet a tet:

Dionysius:

Lighten up. She’s a living doll compared to most of the Democrat cuties (Helen Thomas, Barbara Mikulski, Patty Murray, Barbara Boxer, Madeline Albright, Janet Reno, that Solicitor General babe, etc.).

True Republican Patriot

Heck! You left out Michelle Ma Belle, alias GRIZZLY and Hildabeast and please dont forget Bugeyes Piglousy alias AIR FORCE CHIEF PAIN in the BUTT! And lets remind Rush, Hannity and O’Reilly that ONLY 149,000 MOONBAT Left wing Crazy Subhumans Voted for this Mental Shipwreck!

There's more fun but you get the idea.

bimboeruption brings it all home:

Now compare that skank to a woman who's not afraid to be a woman...
[Sarah Palin Collage.jpg]

Now that's fucked up. The only good women leaders are hot?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then there's a great discussion of giving women the franchise:

upsdriver:

She looks like a poster child for repealing the 19th amendment.

pissant:

Judging by the way women vote, I’m 100% behind it.

upsdriver again:

Same here, socialism crept into our country with the passage of that amendment. Feelings have no place in governing.

Makes one wonder why any women are Freepers at all!

Cramer versus The Jew

I couldn't get through all of Jon Stewart's interview with Jim Cramer. It made me uncomfortable. There was the whiff of a ratings grab, the hint of an ambush and a trace of hypocrisy in Steward criticizing Cramer for running an entertainment show people treat as truth.

But Freepers...well, they took things in a bit of a different way:

ponygirl has some pretty trenchant criticism:

Jon Stewart is a swishy little metrosexual b!tch.

scott says knows Stewart's soul:

Yeah, he really exudes an ugly nasty vibe. He could be talking about sports and I would be repulsed by him, LOL.
The guy has some serious issues, no doubt.

XeniaSt noticed something about Stewart's heritage:

Jon Stewart Leibowitz hammered Jim Cramer and his network, CNBC,

Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz is a self loathing Jew.

Yeah, he never mentioned his Jewishness. Nice attempt to make Stewart an Uncle Tom, though. Funny, though, what with you hating when Blacks criticize Condi and Justice Thomas for their blackness.

wardaddy goes for actual antisemitism:

nothing personal to Jewish freepers but Stewart epitomizes a very witty comedic Jewish guy who has run his mouth all his life but has never had to cash the check

a sure sign of an upper middle class upbringing....demean folks with impunity
Stewart (unlike Cramer maybe) would crumble at the first blow

Though it devolved into clasism in the end. Freeper PC?

And Sig Sauer P220 shows how media savvy he is:

I always confuse Stewart with Anderson 360. I wonder why.

My theory is that you are an ignoramus.

The Gay mafia

Proponents of gay marriage are trying to being back Prop 8 next election cycle. Freepers prepare for war. As in, real war, cause the gays scare them:

Candor7 is packing heat and ready for action:

This is why we have a second amendment.
If you donate to support a conservative cause, you need to have the associated skills to maintain your safety once anonymity is broken.

Syncro is sure the gays are coming for him!

I don't see violence as an option for conservatives at all.

But militant homosexual leftist have been in the past and will be in the future violent.

They are full of hate.

Then it a matter of self defense.

HogsBreath strikes a defiant tone:

I am so disappointed I sent money to McCain and the RNP, but didn’t send any to support Prop 8. I will be certain to donate next time. I hope they print my name EXTRA LARGE so the pink mafia can read it without their reading glasses!

Reading glasses? Is that some kind of new stereotype?

April Lexington tells a story of prosecution that would rile me up if I thought for a moment it was true:

So, like... I voted for McCain see. And people who voted for Obama hate my guts now. They throw crap at my house, they dent my car. They threaten not to do business with me and they harass me.

So like...my car was dented, and I'm sure it was them Obama supporters! Baseball through my window? That damn kid was a total Obamabot!
