I found the title of this DUmmie THREAD, "Can freepers be deprogrammed?" especially amusing since I just received a personal FreepMail message at the Free Republic from none other than DUmmie Doohickie. In case you don't remember DUmmie Doohickie, he was the author of some of our FAVORITE DUmmie threads called "I BELIEVE" in which he was cheerleading the DUmmie to BEEEELEEEEVE that John Kerry was going to be inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2005. These threads began shortly after the 2004 election and lasted until early Jan. 2005 when Doohickie took an embarrassed exit from DUmmieland but has recently returned. Here is the FreepMail that Doohickie sent to me:
"At this point, I must ask....is Doohickie one of us? NOBODY among the DUbies refers to the President as W....."
It's kind of funny what one finds when one does a search on his own username.
At this point, I *am* one of you, since I had to join the Freepers to send you a PM.
But, no, I am no Repbulican. I am in fact a registered Democrat. I live in Texas, though, and W is what I call Bush. Molly Ivins, the syndicated columnist, often refers to him as Dubya, and I used W as a shorthand for that. I think you read too much into my use of the W.
I'm obviously disappointed with the outcome of the election, and also with the way things have gone in the country since then. But I'm also flattered in a way that my threads over on DU garnered so much attention by the Freepers.
You will probably notice the spelling of my Freeper username: Doohickee. I actually registered Doohickie a long time ago (around the time of the I Believe threads), and it took me about 2 posts to get punted off FreeRepublic. Apparently the Freepers aren't all that keen on free speech.
Anyway, tell the gang over in Freeperland I said hi and make some more jokes about me if it makes you feel better.
Still believing in America,
Doohickie
Yes, I BEEEEEELEEEEEEVE this was DUmmie Doohickie. So this DUFU edition about Deprogramming is dedicated to DUmmie Doohickie along with a hearty thanx for the MANY laughs he has provided us with his "I Believe" threads which exposed MANY DUmmies who are in real need of deprogramming. As usual, the undeprogrammed DUmmie recitations are in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, who BEEEEEEELEEEEEEEVES that John Kerry will be inaugurated on January 20, is in the [brackets]:
Can freepers be deprogrammed?
[I BEEEEEELEEEEEEVE John Kerry will be inaugurated on Jan. 20.]
I've read articles about people who have joined cults. In many cases, their parents hired someone to "kidnap" them and then put them through a regimen to "deprogram" them.
[You are just $10 away from being deprogrammed.]
I personally believe that freepers, as well as all other types of Bush zombies, comprise a cult. They are programmed (brainwashed) to absorb, digest and repeat any piece of wingnut propaganda being fed to them.
[They are programmed to robotically chant: "I BEEEEEEELEEEEEVE John Kerry will be inaugurated on Jan. 20."]
So I'm asking psychiatrists, psychologists and the well-informed out there, is it possible to deprogram these people?
[Let's ask a real expert: DUmmie Doohickie.]
The problem is they are uneducated. Therefore, there's nothing to deprogram. They are just trying to hang on to their own ignorance and for some reason want to drag everyone else down with them.
[We are so uneducated that not only do we BEEEEELEEEEVE that John Kerry will be inaugurated on Jan. 20 but we also BEEEEELEEEEEVE that Al Gore is now president in an Alternate Universe.]
Go read a couple of "Pray for President Bush" threads The people at FReakRepublic are flat out nuts. There used to be some sane ones, but they got driven out or quit in disgust. Not to mention the yearly purges. They continually refine their craziness by not allowing any dissent.
[Can we also read a couple of "I Believe" threads? Or how about a Hopi Indian prayer thread? Or an astrological thread predicting the fall of Bush because the moon is rising in Uranus? And if that doesn't work would sending $10 to Bev Harris help in overturning the election? Oh, and I BEEEEELEEEEVE the draft will take place by April. Oh, that was supposed to have been April 2005. Never mind. Instead I will maintain my faith that June 16th is the Day When Everything Is Finally Going To Change. I BEEEEEELEEEEEVE! And have yourself a Merry Fitzmas!]
I could recommend some medication: Lamotrigine.
[DUmmies are experts in medications. In fact you can find a whole list of meds in the 06-27-05 DUFU edition titled, How many of us here take antidepressants?]
Years ago, we used to hear about families who had a family member that got mixed up into religious cults, and how these families would get "deprogrammers" to deprogram what these religious nut cults had brainwashed their family members with. We stopped hearing stories about this at about the same time that the Right Wing Nuts started gaining power in the government. Of course, these Right Wing Nuts finally achieved their complete power grab of the government, after years of harassing and smearing Bill Clinton and any Democrat that got in their way. So, does anyone believe their is a relationship with this?
[Absolutely. Vicious rightwingers discovered that deprogrammed DUmmies weren't FUnnie any more so they decided to leave them in their original condition. After all, if all DUmmies were deprogrammed, the DUmmie FUnnies would lose all its comedy material, ESPECIALLY DUmmie Doohickie's HILARIOUS "I Believe" threads.]
At least here, the Free Discussion of opposing viewpoints happens without being deleted.
There, you better tow the Party line or your tossed, and that line is "Hate Bush" at all costs....
Found this on another board:
THIS FIREMAN PULLS NO PUNCHES
Author: Lt. James McCaffrey, FDNYC
*** BJ[Cigar Boy] Clinton was doing a lot of smearing himself...all over the blue dress.***
Memo to BILL CLINTON: STAY AWAY.
As someone involved in and affected by the events of September 11th, I have a request for you, former President Bill Clinton:
Please do not attend any event that involves the members of the New York City Fire Department. Do not attend any memorial service, concert or other gathering. And, most importantly, do not set foot on that hallowed site known as Ground Zero.
In my opinion (and it is one shared by most of my FDNY brethren), you are the single individual in this country most responsible for the events of that infamous day. Your emasculation of the military and our intelligence agencies contributed significantly to the evil perpetrated on so many innocent Americans.
Please also forward this request to your spouse, and her treacherous coterie of blame-America-firsters, multiculturalists and anti-military elitists. Also, tell her that you have finally discovered your legacy: It sits as a smoldering ruin at Liberty and West Streets.
Lt. James McCaffrey, FDNY.

EERIE......
I only lasted about a week there...
Got tombstoned during a discussion of what it will take to actually WIN an election....
I remember that story. That was you, huh?
The Nightshade thing? No, she was real. A sweet shy little Goth girl who I put onto DU so she could do her poetry thing. No way her stuff could have been posted on FR. One night I used her name to log onto DU and said something, I forget what. She got banned and I never told her it was my fault. I think I will burn in hell for this. I cost her a lot of joy. Out of all my various sins, this is one that disturbs me the most.
parsy, who still feels like a POS all these years later.
My second post on DU, the topic was election fraud, pointed out that the only recognized election interference in the 2004 election involved Kerry operatives in Milwaukee, WI disabling a fleet of vans that the Republican party was to use for voter transport. Within ten minutes, my post was removed and my account locked-out. So much for entertaining an opposing view.
What did you do, make workable suggestions? Talk about blowing your cover.
What I wouldnt give to know your DU nicks and to follow along...though I know it cannot come to pass.
I didn't mean to imply that you were making it up. I just remember hearing about it, and forgot who told it to me.
I'm much better with faces and voices than I am with names...wasted talents on FR. :-)
Sudden plea deals in tire slashing case (1/20/05 )
See my post 64. You think like me, and are therefore wise. :-)
You make a very good point.
Uneducated, eh. Let's take a look:
1) Most are rich. You can't be stupid, and be rich.....at least, not for long (ie the Nebraska lottery winners)
2) All surveys that have been done report that a MAJORITY of Dem voters are high school or less (ie the Hollywood "elite", who we ALL know, are MUCH smarter that we are...)
3) A MAJORITY of Rep voters are college educated or better (ie George Bush GRADUATED from college; Algore FLUNKED out...TWICE)
4) I vote Republican, and I have a college degree, an IQ of 138, USED to own my own business (until KLINTOON eliminated the machinery investment credit allowed to farmers on the purchase of new equipment), NOW work for the USPS (I'd like to see ANY DUmmie pass the FBI background check they give, hehehehe), and tinker with cars, trucks, bikes (motor, not pedal: pedals are for pansies!)
Call me uneducated if you want, but I reserve the right to "educated" you to your folly....
(But I DO soooooooooo LOVE IT!)
Hi, DUmmie Doohick-ie/-ee! Yes, it does make us feel better when we make jokes about our DUmmies. But be assured it is good-natured satire, on my part at least. And thank you for showing some class and courage by sending your FReepmail to PJ.
Computer Science degree, here. Also Windows Server 2000 MCSA and MCSE, both soon to be upgraded to Windows Server 2003.
PJ is a voracious reader, like no one I've ever known. I suppose he's "uneducated", too?
Can DUmmies be deloused?
"Attention, K-Rove FReepers! This is Lord Rove with your daily mind-programming. Today's meme? Same as yesterday's meme--same as every day's! Say it with me: GOD, GUNS, AND GAYS! GOD, GUNS, AND GAYS! Repeat. . . ."
