Freepers, Nazis, Godwin's law is now revoked


Hitler meets with IBM's Thomas Watson. A pre-Freeper marriage of unchecked capitalism and unvarnished fascism

Freeper Assholes

Ahem. Okay, this is kinda sorta funny, though it's pissed me off just enough to put it on the front page. Actually, it isn't funny at all. It just shows what a bunch of psychotic assholes those Freepers really are.

Remember that place I had lined up to crash while in NYC? My friend Jeff found it on the counterconvention.org web site. The people were very friendly, giving me wonderful directions to their apartment and telling me that I could crash there until I leave on the 5th. Hmm. That's generous. Too generous, actually.

I have to admit that I fell for it at first, because I was getting desperate about where I was going to stay. My friend Jeff (also a photographer) and I are both pretty broke (and a huge thanks to those of you that contacted me and volunteered to help out with that aspect. I love you guys.) So, here we have two broke dudes flying 2,000 miles from home to make our voices heard (and to take pictures) in NYC, and here we have a couple in NYC that opens their home to these two protesters in hopes of helping out. What a country.

But then, I had that nagging feeling. Wouldn't it suck to fly all the way there and find out that we were being duped? I figured I could Google their email address and see what was up. Well, there was nothing except the aforementioned cc.org housing listing. So I removed the "@hotmail.com" from the email address and Googled the handle instead. Surely if they were not on the level they would be smart enough to not use a handle that would lead to incriminating evidence. Well, I forgot that Republicans in general and Freepers specifically are a bunch of heartless, brainless fucking assholes.

Here is the Freeper homepage for our lovely guests in NYC. Member* since July 11, 2001.

*When I say "Member" I mean DICK.

Anyway, I write this as a warning to others out there who are depending on the kindness of strangers. (I've already notified counterconvention.org) My friend and I are well and truly fucked now, though it certainly would have been worse if we'd actually gone there expecting a place to stay.

I don't know what else to say other than that no Kossack would ever, ever do such a thing to a Freeper. (Oh yeah, he also went on about how much he "loves dailykos.")

2,000 miles from home and no place to stay?

Nice... you fucking assholes.


OK, two things.

One, the freepers are dicks for doing this. They think liberals are softheaded idiots. I doubt they'll be laughing tomorrow.

Second, these guys need at least a lead on somewhere to stay. I don't know what people are doing, but they need a place to stay. We can get them a place to work, but sleep, I don't know about.

And they wonder why we're gonna give the GOP a hard time?
