Hey, the Beav isn't wearing his man purse! What happened? Did he get a new money clip?

I think he's now a member of the "ex-gay" movement.

[Toadman]

Sorry... ON the market.

[PJ-Comix]

Photobucket was temporarily down so couldn't access the waist pack beaver.

Sorry... ON the market.

Perhaps you need a little of the caffeinated stuff yourself. ;)

[Xenalyte]

Ah! That's cool. I was worried that maybe he got mugged.

13. Um

There were dozens of threads after the Pacific tsunami claiming they were man-made, caused by undersea nukes, and some even said yes, it was designed as a distraction.

The threads were all locked, but it got so bad that Skinner had to say something about it.

My question is, when it is going to get "so bad" that my fellow alum mausoleums or raptures the Bostonian Drunkard, who makes DUmmies look sane in comparison?

[steve-b]

That would be the same "investigative prowess" that uncovered... what, exactly? That Karl Rove was indicted on May 12?

Now, now, now... they're just waiting for the documentary evidence to be faxed in from the Kinko's in Abilene, Texas....

"It is a story that has gotten way more publicity than it deserves"

For the last 10 YEARS!! Of course, this is going to get a lot of headlines. No one has been able to forget it.

[SaveTheChief]

You're just behind the news cycle. Rove's part in this will all be revealed in time.

This is a beautiful sample right here and I'm still laughing. Either it's the masterpiece of a FReeper (unlikely), or it's one of the many loonies at which this particular DUmmie thread was targeted. The funny thing is that there is absolutely nothing anyone can do to bring some of those folks back to reality.

I guess that's why we have the DUmmie FUnnies.

Toward the end is this gem...

Because Totalitarian Subjects are presented with so little real info that we don't know what to believe.

One thing is nearly certain about all news in Totalitarian Nations like Amerika: The offical story is almost always incorrect. Lies of omission are now apallingly common in Amerika, though we have yet to adopt the Soviet/Nazi policy of completely fabricating stuff.

This has less to do with the rulers of Amerika than it does to the mid-level types who were born free and probably will never fully adapt to the Soviet-style wishes of their Imperial Masters.

Case in point: Remember the Phony Miami Terror apprehensions? Remember how reporters actually got the truth from the mid-level FBI types (now likely demoted or fired) in the press conference how they had no weapons, no real plans, nor anything and that what little intent they did have was wholly entrapped and lead by the FBI?

In Full Totalitarianism, those mid-level FBI types would be Freepers, trained to lie about all things. They would have certainly put on a show for the reporters and said what needed to be said (the attacks were minutes away, the men already had bombs, etc.), but that iddn;t happen.

Instead the truth leaked out quietly. Of course it wasn't covered on Cable TV Pravda, but it got out, which is a triumph.

But once all of us who remember freedom in America grow old or die off, it will be another story.

But you asked, arwalden, why people believe what they believe. My answer, in a nutshell, for the same reason ANY subjects of ANY Totalitarianism, Left or Right, don't know what to believe.

Because we are kept in the dark and fed bullshit. Because we have no Free Press left to validate or invalidate "conspiracy theories" (like the German Death Camps were in 1943...a conspiracy theory).

Oh, my!

[Not A Snowbird]

Frankly, I think it makes progressives look like unthinking, gullible, and paranoid idiots.

I can't think of a single rebuttal to that.

[MindBender26]

I know reading DU is so much fun, like watching a TV show that was a cross between "Cops" and "One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest" but should we be pointing out this Web-inked mass liberal psychosis to them, or just let then wallow in it, and expend their energies chasing myths?

"If an opponent is trying to hang themselves, don't wrestle them for the rope."

Be well.

The beauty of the DUmmies is that the more we point out their foibles, they more they struggle to ignore us and delve deeper into them. I feel quite comfortable giving advice to the DUmmies, secure in the knowledge that they will never heed it.

[reformedliberal]

It has always seemed to me that there is a group of union and professorial former sixties activists and another group of the young, inculcated, over-medicated products of the leftist educational system at DU. They seem to take turns leading and cheerleading on their conspiracy threads. It seems very important to them to get on the bandwagon of these threads, which always seem to segue into how their own lives are so messed up by the evil GOP/Rove/Bush and usually how their own families or coworkers find them delusional because Rove/Bush/GOP/Media has brainwashed these *sheeple*.

If you took away their rope, they'd just find another way to act out their illusions. My major concern is that they will someday commit mass suicide and we will lose this source of amusement.

[gate2wire]

When we mock the DUmmies, they think they are on to something and we're afraid of them. It reinforces their beliefs.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Make a DUmmie head explode....post this where they can see it...

[Knitting A Conundrum]

They would think that if we mocked them or not...

[KoRn]

38th!

[N. Theknow]

Why Are Many Progressives Willing To Believe That Major News Events... are "manufactured" by Rove as some sort of "distraction" so that other more important news stories are "ignored" by the press.

Karl Rove strikes again with a bogus thread on DU to deflect attention away from his eeeeeevil manipulations and ministrations.

Is that what today's plan is? I hate it when my kevkrom@rovianagent.org email is down.
