I think some Freepers are suffering from Stockholm Syndrome.
We have been fighting an endless assault of media lies for years and years—it is high stress and a form of torture.
Some Freepers have fought the good fight as prisoners of propaganda—but have now been broken by the current mass media xenophobia—and they identify with their captors.

I am going to ponder your theory. I can’t dismiss that out of hand.
