(Excerpt)

9) "Doesn't a part of you wish that Queasy and Duh-day were alive?

I'll admit they're scum and rightfully so, but anything that lands as even more humiliation on W's grotesque shrivelled face is that much the better.

It's sad, really, that as despicable as they are, Saddam's family seems to be the lesser of two evils when you compare them to the wretched little b*stard* occupying the White House and destroying America in the process..." -- thermodynamic

8) "I'm assuming (Michael Kelly's) family won't be reading this, but frankly, I'm gratified to learn that he paid the ultimate price for his sins of warmongering. This guy was scum. My first thoughts on seeing the thread were that I hoped it was that scum Post warmongering writer. My second thought was that it was a late April Fool's joke. But no false sadness from me, only happiness that someone as mean and vicious as Mike Kelly got what was coming. As for all the posts about "coming by his views honestly" and "not speaking ill of the dead", congratulations on taking the high road guys, but *ssholes like Kelly have to die sometime, and I prefer it is as a direct result of their sins. But what do I know, I'm happy that Reagan has Alzheimers and that * has access to pretzels. I wish death on my enemies, and these guys are enemies." -- jackswift on the death of Michael Kelly in Iraq (Excerpt)

6) "...We know the recall's about getting a Repub Gov. in office in order to make California easier to steal, or make the 2004 Election at least close ENOUGH to steal our precious Electoral votes. We know it has nothing to do with Gray Davis being crummy, really.

...I think Rove's got something particularly nasty up his sleeve this time that will change Arnold's fortunes dramatically. I mean, he's about to subject himself and Maria to more salient stories about what he calls "getting my helmet polished." This could be humiliating to him, even before he loses. But what if he "knew" the fix was in?

...My tinfoil hat theory is this:

ROVE/BUSH/CHENEY ARE GOING TO INSTIGATE SOME MIHOP (made it happen on purpose) TERROR ATTACK, BIO ATTACK IN THE US, MAYBE CALIFORNIA, WHEREBY CALIFORNIANS WILL BE CLAMORING FOR A "STRONG" GOVERNOR TO PROTECT US! THEY CAN FINISH THE JOB ENRON STARTED, AND GET A REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR TO HAND THEM THE STATE IN 2004." -- CaptainMidnight (excerpt) 3) "When the 2nd plane hit the WTC I remember thinking......OMG, he's got his war now. Then, the next day or the day after that, when the roar of "war with Iraq and Afganistan" really got going I couldn't help but think "well Bush II get's to finish Daddy's work now". As for when the plane hit the Pentagon and the other plane went down in that field in Penn I screamed at the TV, "Get the WH, for God's sake you missed the WH." I invented some cuss words on that one. There were times before 9/11 as well as in the days to follow that the boy king mentioned Saddam "tried to kill my Dad" and couldn't help but scream at the TV each time, "Well, give him a medal for effort anyway." -- LiberalLibra

2) "What we MUST realize in order to win - Americans are stupid and uninformed. This is very important because in order to win we must understand the way the average American thinks. I'm afraid WE have nothing in common with them.

I came to the two following conclusions when I saw the large number of people who voted for Bush back in 2000.

#1 - I would dare to assume that most of us here are in the upper 1%-20% of the population intelligence-wise. We must come to the realization that the majority of the population is in the lower 80% to 99% percent of the bell-curve. WE are not the norm. The Republicans understand that the average American is not very bright. They cater and pander to the masses. The Democratic Party tries to appeal to the population about "issues" that these people just don't understand.

I've heard it said that the reason that Clinton's sex scandal resonated so strongly among "the people" was because it was a scandal that the average American understood. The average person can't understand a financial scandal.

In addition, people of average or lower intelligence tend to not be as logical or reasoned as those of higher intelligence - they deal with emotion. Therefore they are more likely to get riled up about someone burning a flag rather than a illogical tax cut.

#2 - The majority of people do not read the newspaper OR listen to the news, CNN, etc. Therefore -they get their news from the Tonight Show, Letterman, Oprah and Saturday Night Live. Or, they get their news from talking to their co-workers at the water cooler.

Also, for the few people who DO listen to the news - who do they hear it from? Fox News and Bill O'Reilly are the most popular. Most newspapers and media outlets are owned by Republicans.

THIS is what we are fighting against people. In order to win we will need to start pandering to the masses." -- Janekat

1) "I realize that not every GI Joe was 100peeercent behind Prseeedent Booosh going into this war; but I do know that that is what an overwhelming number of them and their famlies screamed in the face of protesters who were trying to protect these kids. Well, there is more than one way to be "dead" for your country. They are not only not accompishing squat in Iraq, they are doing crap nothing for the safety, defense of the US of A over there directly. But "indirectly" they are doing a lot.

The only way to get rid of this slime bag WASP-Mafia, oil barron ridden cartel of a government, this assault on Americans and anything one could laughingly call "a democracy", relies heavily on what a sh*t hole Iraq turns into. They need to die so that we can be free. Soldiers usually did that directly--i.e., fight those invading and harming a country. This time they need to die in defense of a lie from a lying adminstration to show these ignorant, dumb Americans that Bush is incompetent. They need to die so that Americans get rid of this deadly scum. It is obscene, Barbie Bush, how other sons (of much nobler blood) have to die to save us from your Rosemary's Baby spawn and his ungodly cohorts." -- Starpass

>>>This is very important because in order to win we must understand the way the average American thinks. I'm afraid WE have nothing in common with them. <<<

Well, this guy got one thing right....THEY have nothing in common with them (average American).

Yep, absolutely nothing!

"Aren't these the same people that call US mean-spirited, hateful, intolerant and consider such emotions as neanderthal? Aren't these the people that respect and want to fight for the poor and average americans? Aren't these the people who don't believe in the death penalty of even cold blooded killers?"

Pathological projection and we are their mirror.

#1 - I would dare to assume that most of us here are in the upper 1%-20% of the population intelligence-wise.

Dear lord,
They are as dumb as a box of hammers.

[Nevermore]

I would've said that must have come from Yogi Berra, but I hate to insult Yogi like that.

I need some information for a letter I want to respond to and I need help from my fellow smart freepers. Please help me contradict the following that some ass wrote in an editorial in our local rag liberal newspaper.

Both Bushes baecame wealthy because of their association with Halliburton Oil Empire headed by its CEO Dick Cheney.

Former Gov. Ridge resigned his post thinking he was going to be vice president, Bush was obligated to appoint Cheney.

Now that we have saddam what have we accomplished and how could it benefit our nation.

A huge federal deficit uncessary loss of life and sheer devastation for the nation of iraq.

George Bush is a rabble rouser that has given our country a stigma of being an agressor nation.

what business did we have to launch a war to democratize iraq.

Thank you my fellow freepers I await your response!

REI - Recreational Equipment Inc; a Seattle based outdoor equipment outfitter. Camping, skiing, biking, mountain climbing, kyaking, outdoor clothing...that kind of stuff.

I don't own an Volvo or wear Birkenstocks - but I do go to REI frequently. They got a lot of neat stuff!

They are actually a cooperative, if your a member, you get back about 10% on your purchases at the end of the year - spendable only at REI. Sorta socialist yes - and yes they could lower their prices in the first place - but dividend spending is kinda like a free trip to the store!

Finally, I suspect there are a lot of conservatives that shop there....probably shouldn't tell the help your voting for Bush...but otherwise its a great place!

Truly chilling and disgusting. So many sheeple just don't care enough about their own futures. Just bread and circuses.

2) "What we MUST realize in order to win - Americans are stupid and uninformed. This is very important because in order to win we must understand the way the average American thinks. I'm afraid WE have nothing in common with them.

Just the way the socialists trying to be in charge want it. See, socialism does work.

Thank God for FreeRepublic and all the freepers. Proof, by the way, that some Americans do care and aren't stupid or uninformed. No wonder the Duh tries to trash freerepublic. They know where their opposition and intellectual superiors exist. Fairly blatant to post such stuff so openly - oh, but then many Americans are stupid and uninformed and totally apathetic. Good thing the rest of us aren't.

What I want to know is who had the time and the stomach to go through every post at DU in order to declare these as the ten worst? Seriously, who hates themselves that much?

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

...someone speculated that the earthquake in Iran was caused by the large number of bombs used by the U.S. military in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Well, that kind of beats the hell out of this claim:

"I would dare to assume that most of us here are in the upper 1%-20% of the population intelligence-wise."

I think he's looking at the wrong end of the yardstick.

[sweetliberty]

"A preposition is a terrible thing to end a sentence with. And your relative pronoun should be in the accusative case: "from whom."

Hey, cut the DUhmmy some slack on this one since you don't know where it's from. It might be from the south where it's a rule that prepostions at the end of sentences are the best way to wrap them up. Even so, it's definitely got a bulb brunt out.

[CaptRon]

Obviously they still get high quality illegal drugs over there still at DU.

Over there they mail you a Thorazine patch when you join up.

"What we MUST realize in order to win - Americans are stupid and uninformed. This is very important because in order to win we must understand the way the average American thinks. I'm afraid WE have nothing in common with them.

Typical limo liberal mindset.

Check #4 in the article. I won't humor her by 'copying' her post, but she seriously needs to take her meds regularly or stop breaking them in half. (The legal meds, that is...)

And #3 - wow.

Finally, their whole IQ thing, they are so sure they are all the smartest and brightest. Just damn. They are soooo filled with hate!!! I guess they aren't tethered by any Judeo-Christian value system...

(Btw some Americans w/ high IQ's are not flaming liberals...) ;-)

[Publius6961]

You are wasting your time. I suggest the following:

"Trying to educate a 'progressive' is like trying to fertilize a rock".

And move on to more pleasant and productive things.

[aruanan]

My hope is that these people get to live in a country that's actually as bad as they think the U.S. is.

[Qwinn]

A higher number means more activity?

That seems very odd. For one, I rarely see a thread grow over 50 posts there, and if you look at how quickly the "lastest posts" move, it doesn't even approach FR.

Also, from Ann Coulter's "Slander":

"In a ranking of the nine most-visited websites in the "Politics & New Media" category, conservative sites regularly outnumber liberal sites. Though the rankings vary month to month, the list for March 2001 is typical: Four of the nine are conservative websites: drudgereport.com (number 2), townhall.com (number 4), freerepublic.com (number 6) and reagan.com (number 9). Only two are liberal websites, coming in at numbers 5 and 8. I have a very hard time believing that DU is typically the number 5. If so, WOW, the fringe is not fringe in ANY way, it is utterly mainstream, and I would LOVE to be able to demonstrate that.

[Skooz]

Another freeper on another thread once said it well:

It's hilarious to watch a liberal try so hard to put together an actual human thought, and then fail miserably.

Reason is a foreign concept to liberals. Emotion alone is their guide. Their beliefs are correspondingly irrational.

Sorry, I should have put a quotation mark and paragraph break after "number 8" in that post. Don't want to represent my own words as Ann's :)

"All of these quotes are quite scary, but I found this one particularly ironic. We must come to the realization that the majority of the population is in the lower 80% to 99% percent of the bell-curve."

Lol, this guy is talking about idiots and using the bell curve to make his point but he does not even know what a bell curve is.
