Freepers: Some replies on Mike Wallace obit thread look like they're from DU

Guess how long it took for some on FR to compare their own to DUers (or DUmmies as they'd say):

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2869564/posts

Post 43: "I know the Judeo-Christian “American values” and basic respect for the family should override the cat calls and “hope he burns in Hell” DU and Firedoglake gave Breitbart...but Breitbart was on the side of truth and Wallace was an old Media New World Order Commie who profited off the system he fought his entire life to destroy, along with Jennings, Rather, Kronkite to the present lying Lib newsrooms across the US, especially in NYC."

Post 44: "I can’t believe some of the replies here. Such hatred. It looks like as if this is DU."

Of course we know what kind of buzzwords they'd fling on Wallace: commie pinko, anti-American, liberal media, etc. In fact, a few posts quoted Wallace from a 1987 PBS "Ethics in America" debate saying that journalists embedded in war zones shouldn't alert soldiers to ambush attacks. (Will post more about that later.)

One minute some of them are posting "Blessed Easter Sunday, He is risen! Let His love shine through, always". Then, their next post- "Good riddance, Mike Wallace. I hope you burn in hell, you commie traitor!!".

Freeper!

Those poor persecuted white Christians, where all the onslaught facts assault them so much daily that they have given up on facts, and gone with Fox News and Rush and Michael Savage as their only source of information, (min-information, really).
