The right wing sites are totally lost and totally depressed

[Erika]

You think they didn't get the message that Americans had enough of W, his tax policies for the rich at the expense of the poor, and his endless needless war.

Their days are over.

[bloom]

1. They are used to elections being stolen in their favor.

It gave them a false sense of superiority.


Of course - now they might work harder for 2008 - instead of becoming complacent.

[yorkiemommie1]

3. we have to work ten times as hard!

on every level, in every way we can.

[Erika]

4. They are very moribund

I don't think too many advertisers will go for that.

[Boojatta]

37. Why not?

They just have to sell the product a couple of times and they'll have a life-long customer.

[Evergreen Emerald]

2. They, along with their extreme radical right wing fascism, will have

to crawl back under the rocks from wince they came. They have caused enough trouble in this country (and the world).

[Erika]

7. Yeah, their posts are down about 90%

and their babbling to themselves as to why they lost the election.

[usaftmo]

38. Exactly

Since Wednesday I've briefly visited freeperville several times, and I've never seen that site with such little activity. They are still in shock for the most part. I tried to post a thread there called "get over it", but they banned my ip a long time ago.

[NJCher]

39. you mean they STFU?

Wow. What a practical solution to a failed political "philosophy."

[usaftmo]

40. That's right

I guess we're not getting an online version of the old "deer in the headlights" look.

[DesertRat]

5. I visited one earlier

They were consoling their readers saying "Depression and anxiety is natural, but we should not wallow in it."
Don't wallow, be happy!
:party: :party: :party:

[madmusic]

8. That's so mean!

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[Erika]

11. Poor souls. Maybe they will finally find the truth

W knifed the poor, the working class, the religious right, but, hey...he still loves the rich.

[malaise]

42. Brilliant

:toast: :party:

[stonecoldsober]

6. What a wonderful feeling!

I actually forgot what it felt like to be this happy! :toast:

[Mountainman]

9. I was wondering what we were going to be like if we didn't win.

We lost three times in a row. It wasn't fair but I was not able to prepare myself for another loss. I am glad we are not the ones wondering what we did wrong this time. I hope the right wingers get over the idea that there needs to be more of what people voted against. How they can think that the problem is that they haven't taken the country more to the right is beyond me.

People rejected them, I hope they can learn from it.

[opihimoimoi]

32. Bo. ya don't get it yet? These Pubs want our blood, our souls, our lives and minds.

They will not rest until they own us...

Forget what they can learn from us and our victory...We don't want them gaining power..they would only be using that power for a repeat of these past 6 years....They had power and blew it away...

10. Consider the fact that the right wing--and a radical one at that--

has controlled Congress for a dozen years and the presidency for six. Especially for young Republicans, the shift is very alien.

And on top of all of that, right wing media has dominated in the same time frame. For many who don't know any better, it probably seems as if the world is coming to an end.

[Erika]

15. Yeah, my heart bleeds for them. The rich might have to

pay their fair share, that concept is strange to them.

[Mr_Spock]

30. They surely need the wakeup call

Let's hope just a few of them become just a bit more curious in the future...

[WiseButAngrySara]

12. Do you have a link to some of them? Other than Freeper

Ville, which I've linked to from here, maybe twice, and I can't stomach that site.

[Erika]

17. Yes

at www.lucianne.com www.rightnation.com www.pipelinenews.org for just a few.

[WiseButAngrySara]

48. Thanks! Maybe I can stomach some of these this a.m. ....n/t

[DesertRat]

50. They're going nuts over at Teachers.Net

I don't usually frequent the politics board over there, but I just looked in and the right wingers there are defensive and combative. If you're in the mood: http://teachers.net/mentors/politics/

[sarge43]

13. Ideologues and fanatics tend to be psychologically rigid.

Their very narrow mind set doesn't give them much mental wiggle room, so they can't accept let alone adjust to set backs and, worse, defeat. So it's denial or rage or depression.

[NJCher]

41. yes, that's Sherif's "Social Judgment Theory"

This communication theory says those who have high ego involvement (how integral an issue is in their lives) have a wide latitude of rejection. The latitude of rejection is sort of a measure of tolerance to different viewpoints.

The wide latitude of rejection means there is little "mental wiggle room."

I agree that its rage or depression.




Cher

[sarge43]

45. Uh. I didn't know there was a formal theory.

I'll have to look into it. Thanks.

[Shakespeare]

14. GOOD. These are people who have defamed us for the last six years (and longer)

They have wished us dead, some even threatening to do the job themselves.

They have slandered us ("why do you hate America").

They have mocked us ("Get over it").

They are petty, porcine, vindictive, malicious, hateful, venal little beasts, and I hope they choke on their own despair.

They showed us no compassion; I have none to give them in return. Instead, I feel grim resignation for the massive salvage job they've left us after nearly destroying our country. Fuck. Them. All.

[NJCher]

43. see my above post

They have slandered us ("why do you hate America").

Because they are not very cognitively complex, they often come up with simple explanations for criticism, like "why do you hate America."

The Not-so-Bright have been in charge for, as it was pointed out, 12 years now. It's time for the cognitively complex to dig us out of this mess.




Cher

[txindy]

46. I am literally surrounded by many of them.

And I couldn't agree with you more.

Not that it's stopped my PDV - Public Display of Victory. :evilgrin:

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

16. lucianne.com's the funniest

gone are the daily smarmy headlines from Madame Goldberg-instead her method of coping is to barelt update

I've also seen a lot of "I'm leaving freerepublic for a while posts" at freeperville from those who are dropping out when things don't go their way

[sweetheart]

18. .

:rofl: ha ha ha :rofl: oh my sides ache. :rofl:

[Mr_Spock]

19. Reminds me how we felt in 2004

Those were awful days. :(

[Erika]

21. No, we fought back. Went after red state marketers, etc

DU became closer,

[Mr_Spock]

23. Not in the first week or so...

There was much of what was described in the O/P - what a horrible time that was. We got our act together though - and I imagine they will as well.

[EFerrari]

24. The difference was we didn't have the Overmind telling us how to feel.

They still have that buffer.

Those were some bad days. Months, actually.

[Erika]

27. Especially when we strongly felt two elections had been stolen

Gore won the popular vote and Kerry's defeat was highly suspect. We were robbed of both.

The right wingers can't say that. W's popularity is in the low 30's.

[EFerrari]

34. The low 30s always had a soft spot in their head for Junior.

lol

[DesertRat]

20. Warning: Gag alert

I went to Free Republic just to check out what they were saying and came across this post entitled:
President Bush is Still #1! An Open letter of thanks to President GW Bush. :crazy:

How can these people think that this miserable failure of a president has done a good job? I just don't get it.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1737122/posts

[Erika]

22. They can't acknowledge the fools they are and were.

To admit W is wrong, is to admit they were. Most of America has woken up, they haven't yet.

[Hyper_Eye]

33. Anyone see the front page?

(This is my first (actually second) post but I have read this site everyday since the 2004 primary.)

FReepers Against Voter Fraud!
The whole point of this exercise is to get more conservative voters involved in changing the laws to close loopholes which make it easy to cheat, to promote the enforcement of existing election laws and to take part in the election process at the local level all with the goal of intercepting future fraud campaigns. In other words our goal is to STOP THE RATS FROM HIJACKING THE ELECTION PROCESS AND TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK!

BWAHAHA! Suddenly these guys care about election integrity.

[otherlander]

25. Nah, they've just got Colbert's Disease.

It causes their face to paralize, and for them to speak in a monotone. Named after another Colbert, no relation. :7

[Viva_La_Revolution]

26. I hear chewing sounds...

Bush is a liberal. Together with a largely liberal congress, the amount of damage they will do to the country is anyone's guess.

Bush is a liberal
I dont know about that. Perhaps he is. I can say that he is NOT a conservative.


:rofl:

[City Lights]

28. LTTEs from the cons either have a pissy tone, or are predicting

the end of the world.

Aw, poor things.

:rofl:

I think we need a new smiley in honor of the thumpin' we gave the cons - :gloat: :D

[flying_monkeys]

31. I wonder if Thumper is available....

From the movie Bambi?


That way, we can be sorta "subtle" LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

[flying_monkeys]

29. Awwwwwwwwww, poor them!

Okay, that exhausted my sympathy level for them.


Do these jeans make me look fat? And what should I do for breakfast tomorrow? On to bigger and better thoughts.....

[bullwinkle428]

35. "Dems don't care about voting fraud cuz they won this time!"

I read this post by one of the Freep types at another site I frequent - these guys absolutely refuse to get it!! If they would turn off their precious Faux News or Hannity or Rush for 5 seconds, they would realize that voting reform is one of the key points the Democrats are emphasizing. It just pisses them off to know that we want to COUNT EVERY VOTE, no matter who actually casts it, and that a record exists of that vote that can be re-tabulated.

[Hand]

36. Well... Sux to be them. nt

:nopity:

[mikehiggins]

44. This has to be the best analysis I've seen on the right

"When the Republicans had the majority the minority would not let them get hardly anything through congress."

Soooo, the minority Democrats managed to keep the majority GOP from doing what it wanted?

What kind of a world do these right-wingers live in that makes them think that makes any sense at all, even inside the Beltway where natural laws of gravity don't apply?

They had control of the government for six straight years. They ran roughshod over the Dems, the American people and the COnstitution they all swore to observe and uphold. And now they complain that they didn't go far enough?

My mind is officially boggled.

[Nikki Stone1]

47. Rush Limbaugh used to tell them this all the time. Somehow the minority Dems were so powerful

that they stood in the way of the Republican Congress, Republican Senate and the Republican Executive branch. Rush needed to give the dittoheads a reason as to why every little thing the conservative base wanted wasn't enacted. (Like a national abortion ban or a ban on illegal immigration.) The only bad guys available were the Dems. The fact that most people support abortion rights in general and the fact that NAFTA officially opened the borders to both job flight out and immigrant movement in (to depress wages) could not be talked about. It had to be the Dems. The fact that the Dems didn't even have the power to get a room to have an unofficial hearing on something went right over the freepers' heads.

[Arugula Latte]

49. American voters are a bunch of LIE-brul Moonbats!11!!!11!

And they love Hitlery Klintoon!!1!!11!11! :rofl:
