Just paged through Free Republic...

Almost entirely they are blaming the embassy attacks on Obama, going so far as to saying Obama is trying to convert the US into a "Muslim country."

NOt *ONE* I found there condemned the shit movie that egged on the violence.

message boards saying Obama apologized as well and that he is weak and needs to be replaced. Man, they just hear one soundbite from their Overlords and they just eat that up and parrot it and feel like they are smart because they can spew political talking points at people... Facts be damned.

same garbage on Facebook - how the President apologized, how Romney called him on it, how Obama needs to be replaced 'any way possible'. Finally his aunt and one of his other cousins posted messages telling him to knock it off. To which he posted that his president was named Romney and he wouldn't stop posting about that 'damned n#gg$r'. His aunt was furious and told him that his late father, her brother, would have washed him mouth out with soap if he were still alive and heard his son speaking like that. She also told him she would not read his posts until the new year. He didn't care in the least.

I actually deleted all my friends on Facebook because of things like this. I just couldn't take it anymore, it was an uphill battle trying to inject facts into otherwise totally insane opinions and talking points parroted by my friends and family. It is hard to take especially when most of them are coming from your own parents. So now I am friendless on Facebook and couldn't be happier.

of their own a long time ago. All he has left are the rabid RWer's who will think, say and do what they are told they must think, say and do. I used to go over there from time to time to see what they were saying about certain issues, but it's too predictable now. They hate President Obama, they hate Democrats in general and liberals in particular and they can't see past that hatred. On most of the issues they are just plain foaming at the mouth, batshit crazy.

...Jim also hates Romney, and will spike anyone who's too supportive:

A reminder for those who are not receiving the message:

Romney is a pathological compulsive liar. Lie after lie papered over with more lies. Doesn’t even flinch when caught in bald faced lies, simply tells another big whopper to cover up or dodge the issue. Funny thing, the man actually seems to believe his own latest lies and simply ignores the glaring record of his past actions/lies. And you have true blue establishment elite RINO Republicans like Karl Rove enabling and backing up his lies. Their motivation is simply to hang on to power (and riches) any way they can.

I’ve stated many times since Romney started running for the presidency way back when that I’d never vote for him and I will not. He cannot lie his way out of his decades long record of support for abortion, Roe v Wade, planned parenthood, gay rights, gun control, global warming, amnesty, liberal judges, big government, compulsory or socialized health care (RomneyCommieCare), mandates, Keynesian economics, support and approval of TARP, bailouts, stimulus packages, i.e, every damn liberal progressive issue that comes down the pike.

"As much as I detest what the Republican party has become, there is no other party on this earth that can come anywhere close to accomplishing what must be accomplished to keep America from spiraling down a Marxist/communist toilet. We'll deal with Romney and the RINOS later."

Thanks to Bernardo de La Paz for doing the brave work of visiting the cesspool for us. Read the entire post on LynneSin's thead to see the progression of events. It's really hilarious, in a way:

what the Free Republic is??? but it sounds worse then the comments on ABCNews and CNN. They are usually the ones I look at to get a feel for where the nut-jobs views are heading. Well that and talking to my nut-job parents as well. lol

I'm sure if you signed on and asked one of the lemmings to link to the "apology" given by either the President or the embassy staff, you'd get banned for it. The truth is like daylight to a vampire to those maggots.

to just go out in the backyard and roll over a log or pick up piece of flagstone and check out what's crawling around underneath? Probably more intelligent life under the log.

I was going to post some posts here for funsies, but I couldn't stay there long enough to do it. I couldn't take it.

Some extremely hateful, mean, ignorant people there. Intelligent responses or discussions are rare there.

There are a few mean wackos here, too (you know it's true...every group has them), but for the most part, there's a lot of intelligent discussion and information based on FACTS, as well as a variety of opinions.
