Just took a trip to Freeperville and it was fun!
First of all, no real threads on the SOTU/uranium issue. Instead the big thread was about the media. They are so pissed at their Faux News...writing emails and everything. Talks like "what has happened to Fox? It looks like it turned into a liberal show." In general, they feel totally betrayed by the media "actually reporting this stuff."

And get this, some were upset because they were expecting to see all the wonderful clips of * in Africa doing such GOOD things. Saying stuff like "Why aren't they showing our great president and his African trip instead of this crap." :WTF:

Overall what the freepers are extremely upset about (and I LOVE this one) is that they can't understand why this story is getting such play. Duh, we went to war and people died based on the relentless barrage of how Iraq was such a threat to us...mushroom clouds..the whole bit.

These people are delusional. They think that Tony Blair is coming to meet Bush and show him the Brit evidence of the uranium stuff and they will shove it in our faces. Do you believe this shit?

All they could do was say "Can't wait til those WMDs are found and watch those Dems with egg on their faces." ROTFLMAO!

Also one thing I did notice was that there were very few freepers posting today. Gee, wonder why?

1. Yep, they're scared
and rightfully so. I've seen posts that say stuff like, "I'm turning off the news and going to the beach to read 'Treason'". I think FR is imploding along with their king and his men.

3. Yeah Trid, I read that one and others who turned off the TV or
watched some I Love Lucy shows. This is GOOD! It's so much fun to watch the little show over there. Even the nasty anti-Dem posts didn't bother me one bit.

They are SO desparate.

2. It's amazing how long their party lasted.
What, about a year, maybe? What a sad chapter in American History. I hope Faux nes and Free Republic continue to extricate their heads from their asses and realize that American opinion is not monolithic.

Thanks also for taking the time and dirtying yourself by doing something I swear I'll never do again: check out FR.

I feel like my PC needs cleaning afterwards.

5. Freepers live in a world of lies
They hate,They live in ignorance and They want to keep it like that. When sombody shows them the truth they shit right down thier pant legs. I'd laugh my ass everyday at freepers if wasn't a sad waste of humanity.

6. I went there too, for the first time in weeks, and
read the same thread. They really do live in an alternate universe. It set me thinking about whether people on DU are ever that delusional, and I really don't think they are. Both sides hate. We hate W. They hate Clinton. But we don't lose our grasp on reality, or talk ourselves into believing that the things we wish were true, are true.

I have to admit it was entertaining, though.

11. Hahahaha, rotflol.....
(claps for sasquatch) Very good one....

I was over there earlier, and the only response they have to people who are upset over the fact that the Resident in Chief railroaded the nation into war on false pretenses is to say "Oh well, I guess you want Saddam Hussein back in power then?" No, nobody in their right mind wants Saddam in power. To all you Freeper lurkers out there: the reason so many are pissed about this is that Bush presented the case for war under the auspices that Iraq presented a clear and present danger to US national security. We were told that there was an imminent threat from Iraq. Not so we could liberate a people. He lied, and American troops died for his lie. It is telling that of the instances of lying by the last two presidents, Clinton lied about getting a blowjob, and Bush lied about why American troops had to die. History will tell which is the greater crime.
