MoveOn.org Demands Free Republic Remove Thread Comparing Clinton to Clinton (MUST READ)

FRESNO – Conservative activism community Free Republic is reportedly under fire for posting several “vanity” threads which compare former President William Jefferson Clinton to the tyrant/socialist/adulterer President William Jefferson Clinton. This, in response to conservative critics who have taken issue with a Moveon.org political commercial contest which showcased a spot comparing President George W. Bush with Chancellor Adolf Hitler of the Third Reich.

“Free Republic has finally gone over the line,” said MoveOn spokeswoman Gloria Harper. “The despicable notion of comparing a leader to his actual record is beyond reprehensible – it’s nauseating, alarming, and quite frankly, dirty pool.”

Free Republic, which has long been a critic of former President Clinton, is unarguably biased towards truth, according to media analysts, and threatens to upset the environment of thuggery, immaturity, and third-rate comedian pundits carefully sculpted by the Democratic grass roots movement.

One thread, titled “Clinton Was Not a Good President” unabashedly accused the formerPresident of having served two terms and being impeached by the United States Congress while the Taliban trained al Qaeda to plow planes into skyscrapers.

Another thread, titled “Bill Clinton’s Record”, accuses the President of selling overnight stays in the Lincoln bedroom and allowing nuclear research security to become so lax, Chinese spys were able to waltz into Los Alamos and accelerate their nuclear program roughly forty years with one theft.

“We’re not going to live in the past,” said one MoveOn supporter who asked only to be identified as “Madonna”. “The Chinese are in the middle of an energy crisis. How will they find the fuel to support their manufacturing industry and the complete and utter destruction of Taiwan? Why should we keep such secrets?”

“The fact is,” explained Harper, “there is no reason for us not to believe that President wouldn’t incinerate 12 million Jews if given the opportunity. Furthermore, he is clearly in favor of bringing capitalism to countries which are perfectly happy drinking cholera-infested water and succumbing to the bird flu in large numbers. The comparison is fair.”

Free Republic had no comment except to re-iterate it’s position not to remove threads which compare William Jefferson Clinton to William Jefferson Clinton.

Dixie Chicks Thread Goes Wild On Free Republic
8/4/2003 - Tad Hayworth




Setting a new Free Republic record, a thread about the Dixie Chicks reached 7319 posts, transforming from a critique of the music, to extensive discussion of the War on Drugs, to several thousand posts inviting Libertarians to go somewhere else, (and several thousand refusals), followed by 2200 posts discussing Evolution v. Creationism, another thousand on sodomy laws, before finally degenerating into moose and cheese references and Monty Python excerpts.

Data mining shows that the word “hugh” appeared 880 times, “series” or “vey series” 1422 times, and references to taking a shower 334 times. Variants of “all your base” appeared a meager 52 times. 11 Freepers were banned, or “zotted,”

Never underestimate the stupidity of liberals. Just when we think they can't be any more ridiculous, they set a new benchmark.

Well sort of. You can use metaphor, but not simile.

For example:
"Clinton is like a rapist" -- simile, wrong
"Clinton is a rapist" -- metaphor, correct

Great Satire. I'll add this little rhyme to it.

Conspiracy Guy
Voted least liked Freeper by DU trolls Dec 2003

Billary

It was indeed the darkest time,
We barely made it through.
The blame for this I place upon,
Your cronies and yes you.
Eight years of you and Hillary,
Were more than we could bear.
You stopped air traffic needlessly,
While someone cut your hair
I wish you’d show a little class,
And get out of my face.
But one good thing is those you help,
Most often lose their race.
So hang around and lend support,
To those who would enslave us.
As tired as I am of you Bill,
You really helped Gray Davis.

I'm beyond words. The liberal-left, clintoon-loving, whacked out idiots at MoveOn.org can't take the truth? Guess it depends on what the meaning of is is. Hey RATs, how about Dean going whacy? That wasn't true either?

HA HA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

11 Dixie *itch supporters received a visit from the mod squad about the rules in FR. Only thing I found disappointing is the their CD's didn't fly far enough as I chucked them over the cliff and "checked them out" with the ol' 12 gauge!BBBWWWAAAAAHHHAAAA....Gotta go take a shower and get that dixie wench stuff off me NOW!
