Actually, those threads have been going on well over a year -- and, yes, they've been just as bad. It's just that the regular Freepers didn't go on them until last week.

Very true. I've seen the threads on this subject for years, and never taken much of an interest. I posted my first comments about it two days ago, and have since been called everything but a Child of God. Unbelievable.
