Tips For Lurking Freepazoids |
|
If we had to write a handbook for trolls, what would it look like?
I expect it would have tips for trying to "blend in", since most of them aren't that good at it.
First:
-The phrase "America-hating DUers" is usually a dead giveaway. Don't think that someone is going to rush to your defense when the veterans turn the flamethrowers on you.
-Deliberately repeating GOP talking points just ain't gonna cut it. You see, unlike your friends at FR, or Lucianne, or CU, or whatever, we actually do research and discover facts--so we will KNOW if you are spouting GOP talking points.
Any more? :evilgrin:

1. Another one - "Please do shower, freepers, |
|
before you surf over to DU to post. Your right wing stench wafts across the internet right through my monitor."
It's a dead giveaway :)

it's a shame how hybrid cars don't get used.

-No matter who suggested it, Bill Clinton can not be anyone's VP running mate. Not Al Gore's, not Hillary Clinton's, not John Kerry's.
-Ending any phrase with "that's all I'm saying" is really dumb. You might as well say "I'm a freeper jackass."
-Al Gore and Bill Clinton are not and were not "liberals" like we are, so don't refer to them as such.
-Never try to be funny, or try to string any of us along. Not only does it never work, it's also never funny.
I'm sure I'll think of some more.

6. don't type accidentally type "skerry" when you meant to type "scary" |
|
wait until at least your sixth or seventh post before you "out" yourself and shame us all by letting us know how long you managed to fool us.
Use spell check! Use the fucking spell check! Oh, oh oh, and try complete sentences.
Um, death threats and threats of calling in the government to do your personal bidding, not so much. Not even a little scary.

8. Have we gotten death threats from trolls? |
|
I've never seen one, but I don't doubt it. That's an unbalanced crew at FR.

7. Not all veterans are members of free republic |
|
I served 24 years and had one tour in a combat zone. I'm a wacky liberal and ask that any of you flag waving, religious zealots get your fucking constitution hating asses down to the army recruiting office and sign up today. Unless of course, you are too much of a coward to support a republican war. Don't put the magnet on your truck, put your signature on the contract.
Another consistent with conservatives - "from what I've heard." Or "some people say." or "from what I understand."

13. Try to restrain until the 3rd or 4th post |
|
from blaming the tsunami on the tsunami victims' Christ-lessness.
Try to hold out just a while until you let loose with "Al Gore caused 9/11."
Try to chill just a little before using the phrases "activist judges," "intellectual elite," "liberal media," "liberated Iraqis."
Don't push too hard when claiming that the high price of gas is good for us.
Make sure you leave the forum immediately after posting "Torture at Abu-Ghraib was like college hazing."
When you get back to Free Republic, make sure to gloat childishly how you had us all fooled.

15. Starting your post with, "Now |
|
I'm no fan of George Bush, but...." is usually a sign that freeperish is about to follow. And, as mentioned, the always popular Faux News yellow journalism "some people say". No mention of who these people are, of course.
