Welcome to Free Republic! America's exclusive site for God, Family, Country, Life & Liberty constitutional conservative activists!
It's not "Redstate". It doesn't pretend to boast well-informed commentators. It's one of the ugliest websites out there.
But there's just something about "Free Republic" that keeps me fascinated. Maybe it's because it's the closest thing I've ever found to a perfect wingnut echo chamber. if Rush says it, if Sarah Palin believes it, it'll show up on "Free Republic".
They regularly purge all dissenters, and the Mormon/Catholic/Protestant divisions sometimes threaten to erupt, but there's one thing that binds them all together: they are united in their hatred, and oh, if hating were an Olympic event, Freepers would be on that medal podium without break.
As is evident, the right defines itself by whom they hate. "Jobs!" the Republicans cried in November, and since January, we've seen them attack one group after another, creating nary a job. They hate the poor, minorities, they hate - well, damn near everyone.
They hate commies (and their definition of a "commie" includes the centrist capitalist Barack Obama, aka The President)
Too bad we elected this Kenyan Commie whose GOAL is the destruction of our society.
I think we have this figured out—or should have by now.

They hate women who don't hate themselves:
Left wing feminists are the most demented and evil monsters in the entire history of humanity. They cannot even comprehend the idea of caring about someone other than themselves. Only power has meaning to them.
I will not refer to these things as people.

They hate the Clintons, especially Hillary:
Am I the only one who thinks Hellry is getting more fugly with each passing year?

As Tom Lehrer points out "everyone hates the Jews!". According to Freepers, there are some good Jews. But not the ones who vote Democratic or are Reform. In other words, most Jews:
American Jews are self hating to the point of self genocide to support Zero.

They hate Democrats (who are also Communists. Those adjectives are synonyms, btw. You learn such interesting things at Free Republic!)
IF— and it’s a big IF -the polls are honest—and if they do
represent an evolution in our society —then perhaps the Beguiler in the WhiteHouse —and his handlers were right and
America fit only for despotic Communistic rule.So much for the founding principles Religion,Morality and Knowledge being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind.
Problem is I do not wish to live under Communist Rule— or
Democratic Party leadership ( pretty much same- same) And that includes zero tollerance for the change the O wishes to prosecute.

They hate gay people. As Markos' email shows, they have - um...."issues" with gay men that would require someone with far more psychological training than I possess to unravel. But oh, they save their most vociferous gay bashing for women:
Old sailors are scratching their heads trying to recall the last time the Navy kheel-hauled a skipper, his CMC, two officers, five chiefs and a petty officer, all in one fell swoop. That's right, gang. Ten members of the crew on the USS Stout are out of a job and off the Aegis-class guided missle destroyer.
The two top names on the list are the tin can's captain, CMDR Nathan Borchers, and his knock-out, good-looking CMC, Susan Bruce-Ross. We're not kidding. This gal definitely is not your typical fat, man-hating bull-dyke. She is simply gorgeous. And while there's no accusation the boat's top enlisted person is, or was, involved in any "sexual hijinks," it isn't hard to imagine horny sailors taking a good, long look at the CMC as she maneuvered herself up and down passage-ways aboard ship.

They hate Muslims and Obama. This is made easier by the fact that Obama is Muslim! He's also an atheist, a communist, a Nazi, and - well, I'll have to consult my list; some days it's confusing...
Obama is an active enemy of the US and an ally of Islamists.
We’ve know it since the campaign: Barry Hussein Soetoro Obama is a Muslim. Of course he sympathizes with the Muslim Brotherhood! Barry might be a member for all we know.
Are we surprised that the Muslim Nazi in the White House loves the Nazi Muslim Brotherhood?
After all, he’s been sending his agitators over to Egypt to work toward this outcome ever since he was elected. And he chose Egypt as the very first place to make a foreign policy speech, where he voiced his support of Islam and said that America was—or soon would be—a Muslim nation.

They hate Mitt Romney:
Simply Forget NitWitt Mitt Romney.
If he were to get the Pubbie nomination there would be a for real Tea Party.
NOBODY but the RINOs want anything to do with him. Even among Mormons he is not that popular. (I am not Mormon)

They hate the unions:
This is one of the most disgusting example of the collusion between the Unions and the Dummie pols.
All in defiance of the will of the PEOPLE.
The Unions should be brought up on RICO Charges.
That’s how the Feds got their Mob Fathers.

Exhausted yet? It's hard to spend much time listening to the "American Loving" right and find anyone they DON'T hate. Oh, yes, there are a few gun-loving, white Protestant xenophobic males left out there but....."The whole world is a bit strange eccept thee and me and im not so sure about thee."
Thus, the regular purges that have reduced the Freeper population to a fraction of it's former self.
What to make of all this hate? It would be easy to dismiss it as marginal, but - Rush Limbaugh still has a sizable audience, and someone out there is still supporting Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann. Do we reach out to them, as some suggest? Do we dismiss them as Kapos (apologies to Godwin)? Ignoring them seems impossible, since the media trumpets their every phone-booth sized gathering as "thousands protest!" They are certainly useful, useful to the Koch brothers and the other corporate elite.
So how do you solve a problem like the Freepers?
