The Freep

Via the MAWB, I see that my note to Frist is now a Free Republic thread.

As it happens, this is the first time I've ever been to Free Republic; I have no, zero idea how my post got there...

...but it's pretty cool. Thanks, whomever it was.

Yeah, because who wouldn't want the praise and admiration of a bunch of brain-dead fucks like the Freepers?

Memo to Turner: class, graciousness, and potty talk in one delicious package.

Doug,

Please don't labor under the misapprehension that I give a good goddamn about what the readers of some inane winger blog think of the way I comport myself, or express myself. The Freepers are human shit, and anyone who wants their praise is a fool.

MTT: Whereas you, obviously, are a man of class, breeding and refinement.

If the measure of a man is the quality of his enemies, it seems clear that I've been underestimating the value of Free Republic. Please accept my thanks for the enlightenment oh anonymous person with the pretentious sig.

Being held up in honor by Freepers is nothing to be proud of. While MtT may not have a manner befitting the likes of a fine upstanding Republican, in essence he's right.

And what is this with Republicans being so frightened of words? And "class", "breeding", "refinement"? What century is this again?

Why are wingnuts so grammatically challenged? It's "thanks, whoever it was." "Whomever" is appropriate only as the object of verb or in a prepositional phrase.

"don't labor under the misapprehension that I give a good g-n about what the readers of some inane winger blog think of the way I comport myself"

Of course you do, don't be silly otherwise you wouldn't respond to criticism!

You know, George, having done my share of trolling around The Free Republic, Democratic Underground, Daily Kos, Oliver Willis, etc., I really have to disagree that "wingnuts" have a monopoloy on grammar slip-ups. Some of the comments on those sites read like they were penned by a three-year-old.

George, whoever you are, you need more fiber in your diet.

During the 2004 campaign, before the "Swift Boat Vets for Truth" had their own discussion forum up and running, if you wanted to know absolutely everything that was being said by, and about the Swift Vets, FreeRepublic was the place to find it (along with CaptainsQuartersBlog.com.) Freepers (with time on their hands) have done a lot of good political detective work over the years, and it's one of the few places that posters can post images. They're also good at debating military and Second Amendment topics. The quality has gone down a bit over the years, but it's still worth checking out. And, if you'll remember, before Power Line discovered Rathergate, the Freepers had a thread going about CBS memos that looked fake.

I don't know...it seems that wherever your posting went, Mitch, it seems to have attracted the dark eye of Sauron or something. Man, how the unsettlingly nasty leftists have come slithering out en force in the last 24 hrs or so.

Hey Mitch, still Shooting Blanks I see. You made an appearance over at americablog.com too, but the reception there wasn't quite as cordial as the Freepers.

Posted by: Dump Bachmann at May 24, 2005 09:50 PM

Colleen,

I don't trouble myself much; most of the lefty trolls are anonymous cowards. Not worth the effort to reply to, mostly.

Dumper,

Hmm. Funny, that.

SFW?

Mitch, you don't have to reply. That's our job!

Posted by: billhedrick at May 25, 2005 11:21 AM

The way you suck up to Mitch, billhedrick, I would have thought "hand" was your job.

Posted by: Memo to Turner at May 25, 2005 02:32 PM

Turner,

Kos called. You missed roll call. He's worried.
