Poor things! CNN isn't sympathetic today--well, they can just turn to BBC or put the radio on NPR and get their bellies full!

[MHT]

CNN stinks, and I'm happy that the negative Zahn moved over there--but Aaron Brown ain't too bad, and Jeff Greenfield was decent, even back in his ABC daze.

What do you have when all DU posters are logged in:
A recount!

YEP! You CAN get banned at DU just for laughing. I just did. Hehehe.

It is DEFINITELY the Taliban News Network...it's the TNN. That prince what's his name over there with his 10 million dollars that was thrown back in his face by the Mayor of New York City controls it...I think. He is the 6th wealthiest person in the world and he has a controlling interest (I'm pretty sure...it's hard to find out these things) in AOL Time Warner which owns CNN. That's why they were showing "The Struggle for Islam" over and over and over...nauseatingly...for weeks. I live in the wacked out "Bay Area" and the coffee shop down the street has a poster up with an advertisement for some sort of a conference being held by the Unitarian Church "Understanding Islam" it says. I went down there and put up my poem about TNN and, of course, they took it down. This really sick and dead looking lesbo person took it down. The people here are really wackos. I wrote another poem about them...it's called "PSYCHOS & WEIRDOS AND WACKOS GALORE"...describes them perfectly. I've been posting them over there on an Irish Abroad board and been constantly attacked for expressing my point of view.

I seriously think that those people do not know how to laugh. Every time I go over there (prompted by a link here), all I read are screeds and angst and vile talk and vehement and, well.....it's really not very uplifting over there. I really do feel sorry for them. They really need to stop carrying grudges and move on to other things - lighten up some.

Here at FR, we have some threads that are full of angst posts, but they are balanced by those "cheese" threads and the like.

Thank you! How did you know that I always wanted to go cow-tipping; and now I have a whole new mental image to enhance the experience. I love it!

ROFL

Re: William Pitt's post on DUh:

OK - I'm done feeling sorry for them.
MAN! People like this guy are a danger to society.
Talk about a fascist mindset.

I was checking out DU yesterday to see what was up in the enemy camp and I had a good laugh. Someone was trying to say that a member of the Bush family paid the Smithsonian to have an endangered species "released" from somewhere so that they could hunt it!!!!!!! These people are so far removed from reality, they are buffoons.

[Labyrinthos]

Wow, that felt great. I haven't tipped a cow since I was a teenager.

[sweetliberty]

Delightful wasn't it? I especially like the MAD COW!

Real class act potty mouths aren't they.

#22...The CNN chat room was filled with Freepers (or like minded (sic) morons) and pretty much was a scrolling see of BUSH WON BUSH WON BUSH WON and I DECLARE BUSH PRESIDENT and that sort of thing, pretty much scrolling forever.

Do they consider everyone in favor of Bush to be a FReeper?
This was definitely worth the trip to their site. Very funny reading.

lol! i've got my steel toes on right now! i will also put a condom over my boot before i do any kicking.

these geeks will never go away. look at d'@$$HOLE, gepbarf and that old ex-klansman whining again about the tax cuts. them and the media are the real enemies of america and i am hoping to see the resurrection of the 'house of unamerican activities'.

where are you joe mc carthy, now that we need you?

[sweetliberty]

ROFL...I think you nailed it! These people don't recognize brains when they see them. Do you know they actually have a moderator over there that watches for FReepers....one even made a comment about posting a scarlet letter next to our names to keep us off their boards. I feel SO special! Hehehehe. Sad. Very sad.

[TLBSHOW]

Thanks for the flag and another look at the Rats nest! LOL

Captain Freeper!

CNN ADDS "BALANCE" : DU CRIES FOUL

Sould be of no surprise to anyone who's checked the DU website. They directly state the fact that they are not an open forum and ridicule posters who complain about their conservative posts being deleted.

Looks like they are starting to admit that CNN (and other media outlets) were biased.

[weegee]

From the DU thread... "Finding a FReeper here"
is like finding a dog turd in my living room. Not something I want to put up with. Well said, Will.

Well Freepers do post on the DU website even if their posts are removed. I think that this speaks volumes about his dog. Go dog, go!!!
