Freeper-type "editor" falls for Onion article.
On the Fidonet, I've been for years sparring with a Freeper-type "newspaper editor" named Stan Hardegree, in Georgia for years.

Here's the website of his "newspaper."
www.villarica.com

He's rabidly anti-anyone-Clinton, and just as rabidly pro-Bush.

But in a forum I posted this Onion article, hoping one of the Rush fanboys would fall for it.

WEST PALM BEACH, FL

Frankly discussing his addiction to painkillers, conservative talk-show
host Rush Limbaugh told his radio audience Monday that his abuse of
OxyContin was a "remnant of the anything-goes ideology of the Clinton
Administration."

"Friends, all I can say is 'I told you so,'" said Limbaugh, from an
undisclosed drug-treatment facility. "Were it not for Bill Clinton's loose
policies on drug offenders and his rampant immorality, I would not have
found myself in this predicament." Limbaugh added that he's staying at a
rehab center created by the tax-and-spend liberals.

Sure enough, Stan fell for it hook, line and sinker.
Here's his "reply."
(RS is me)

RS>Frankly discussing his addiction to painkillers, conservative talk-show

"Why did I guess that a social handicap like would comment on some talk radio
host's drug problem."

"Don't you take anti-depressants?"


Let's face it, you know why Freepers have few if any teeth, don't you?
Because they constantly keep knocking them out with knee-jerk responses. :-)

2. There was another thread like this a couple of days ago
A misspelling on another board created a firestorm of Freeper indignation. Knocking their teeth out, indeed! LOL!!!:7

6. Update!
Ok, Stan Hardegree says now he knew it was from the Onion, but he jumped all over me since I was picking on Rush.

RIIIGHHHTTT!!!

(Translation of Stan's latest post) "Gee, uh, I knew it all the time! Yeah! You didn't fool me at all! I knew it ALL the time!"

This guy also in the same forum called me a liar, when I said that Michael Savage was really being critical of Ah-nold, calling him a RINO and such.

So I post from Savage's own site, him calling Ah-nold "Arnold Kennedy."

What do you think Stan says to this? At least an "Oops?"
Hell no.
Here's his response:

"........."

Yup, dead silence.

You see, he's a conservative "newspaper editor," so he doesn't make ANY mistakes!
(sarcasm off)

7. I would almost consider supporting Arnold
if a hate-monger like Savage is critical of him! But then, he is an equal opportunity hater. Like the commercial said "He hates everything!" He is gone from MSNBC; he needs to be removed from the airwaves altogether!:grr:
