Today on Tommy T's Obsession With The Freeperati - a slow simmering boil


Good morning, trypto-fans!  I hope everyone's gotten their individual post-Thanksgiving tummy issues out of the way, because between the sullen acceptance and hysterical blue-skying about a last minute reprieve (they're so cute when they hope against hope), it's going to take a strong stomach to handle the rapture of the Freep this week.
So - check those seals and air supplies - we're going in!

First up - I just can't get enough of those PUMA threads..

 55 million conservatives better get their act together, and FAST

We need to network our activities people. The PUMAs fooled us. I saw the exit polling data, and it showed that single/divorced woman turned out for Eclair by a wide margin. We were duped by Hillary. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on ME. We are no doubt under seige. Fascists at the top, working class moderates/liberals and the poor at the bottom.
They are very well organized, and they plan to exterminate us. Right now, they're coordinating their next move on us. We can't get involved in our minute differences. We fundamentally have the same ideals. So wake up, true conservatives. No waffling, no cowardice, an certainly no naiivete(sic)!


To: prismsinc
They didn’t fool us, we fooled ourselves. We judged macro trends by micro statements. In other words, the dozen or so PUMAs we read and cheered for, we assumed where part of a macro movement, when in reality, they where what they where at face value, a dozen or so PUMAs. We do that a lot..

Why, yes - you do, don't you? It's pretty much gotten you where you are today.

To: prismsinc

The PUMAs fooled us.

And that's pretty amazing because they didn't fool anyone else. I think the case is that you fooled yourselves. Wake up and smell reality. I actually looked into the PUMA phenomenon and it was incredibly easy to find out that it didn't exist. There were no more than a few thousand PUMAs nationwide. You believed otherwise because you desperately wanted to. It's called the Tinkerbell strategy. "If you believe hard enough, you can save Tinkerbell." Guess what? It won't work four years from now either. How about we wise up and stop blaming everyone else?

As you can imagine, the massacre in Mumbai has cheered them up considerably, but there's one thing nagging at them.

"They were 10 gunmen, well-trained and armed with assault rifles and grenades, officials say. They had scouted their targets ahead of time. The knew the hallways and the basements. They even carried bags of almonds for energy.

No, Mr Cause-and effect, they were looking for victims.

"We found bullets with them, hand grenades, bombs," R.R. Patil, deputy chief minister of Maharashtra state, said at a news conference. "Based on our investigation, we believe they had planned to kill 5,000 people." (CNN)

Wow. 5,000 Americans and Israelis ("Jew" is not a country, dumbass) all in one hotel. Right.

The murderers must have really hated their freedom to stay in hotels.

To: BurbankKarl
Meanwhile, claims that up to seven of the terrorists could have been British men of Pakistani origin, who had connections to West Yorkshire, were being widely discounted.

Hitler - hateful, or just misunderstood?‏


 
Hitler 'had his reasons,' former First Nations leader says
Canada.com ^ | Nov., 29, 2008 | BETTY ANN ADAM

Posted on Saturday, November 29, 2008 6:11:22 PM by fanfan
Disgraced First Nations leader David Ahenakew tried to explain his controversial comments about Nazism and the Jews during his hate crimes trial yesterday, saying Adolf Hitler "had his reasons" for his actions during the Second World War.
~snip~
Ahenakew also said he was bothered by the fact non-aboriginals had control in Canada because it had been "wrenched away" from First Nations.
"We were absolutely captive people in our own country," he said.

(Excerpt) Read more at canada.com ...


Yanno, they have to be conflicted here.
On the one hand, Hitler would have shown those muzzies the showers, along with the gays and other troublemakers.
On the other hand...
Hmmm.
You can see why they're confused. They don't hate the neo-Nazis because the neo-Nazis hate dark people and "multiculturalism" and such - they hate them because they're so blatant about it.
Observe:

To: fanfan
Yah,I suppose he *did* “have his reasons”.Slimy,filthy,despicable,amoral reasons...but reasons nevertheless.

Why is he on trial? Did he commit a crime or did he just have bad thoughts? Or even worse, did he express bad thoughts in public? If so, I guess we hang him in the marvelous, new hate-free world being ushered in by Obama.
And when we hang him, would that be our expression of love for him?

Um - you have two personal pronouns in that sentence. Which "him" were you talking about hanging?


To: fanfan
"He hates our civilization."  If our civilization, Canadian style, puts people in prison for expressing opinions, however vile, then that is something worth hating.
I'm thankful for the First Amendment. If the thought police punch through that barrier and get busy down here, many people on this forum will find themselves in the dock.

Relax boys, no one wants to take away your first amendment rights. We'd lose endless entertainment value, and it's much more effective to just make ghastly fun of you in public.
Or to put it another way:
A walk down the path of history is crunchy with the crispy corpses of
those who pooh-poohed or ignored the clown car of ridicule when it
pulled-up to the curb.

“Well,maybe we need a Conservative “surge” on all these sites.” I agree. But presented in such a way that it wakes up the fools and lets them see how detrimental communism/socialism/0bamanism, etc. is to them.

We need to learn how to use these sites to spread the conservative agenda.   I've always wondered how many converts a preacher gets when he goes into a bar to preach to drunks.
I've also wondered how many of those preachers end up as drunks.

Lastly, Confusion about how to address the Gates' philanthropy‏:


Bill and Melinda Gates prefer the slums to cocktail parties
Times ^

Posted on Saturday, November 29, 2008 5:56:23 PM by traumer
For Bill and Melinda Gates family life is like a business: every six months they hold a meeting to decide what holidays they will be taking and what their children should be learning.
And despite being worth an estimated $58 billion (£37 billion), Mr and Mrs Gates would rather help out in the poorest parts of the world than be part of the cocktail party circuit that preoccupies the lives of many of the rich and famous. In an interview with The Times Magazine today, Mrs Gates says: “My mom says, ‘You know Melinda, people can’t understand why you enjoy visiting those places so much’. But I love being in the slums. That’s just a part of who I am.”
She also reveals that her husband, who made his fortune as head of Microsoft, often weeps at the stories of suffering.
They are equal partners in the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which has received $17.3 billion of their wealth. For Mrs Gates, HIV/Aids “is the number one problem that needs to get solved – and all the different initiatives it’s going to take to line that up will see us involved for the history of the foundation”.
She says that the foundation has made advances with gels that are designed to prevent the transmission of Aids: “This is the most exciting development, and they are likely to be available in, hopefully, the next seven years.”

First, we have the lassez-faire capitalists. They think it's a bit kooky for someone to give away money (mineminemineminemine), but since Gates did what they can only aspire to (that is, get rich), they have to back him up:

See? I told you he was a bit kooky.

This next one manages to get racial hatred, culture wars, ODS, and guns all into the same paragraph:


To: traumer
The whole American culture has been slumming, I’m afraid. Suburban housewives listening to [c]rap “music” on the car radios, their sons wearing their pants crotches near their ankles, worshipping the likes of O.J. Simpson, or whoever the current illiterate equivalent of O.J. is, a semi-literate author getting the Nobel Prize in Literature, and the next POTUS, whatsisname? Slumming! And the likes of the Gates do their slumming with armed bodyguards, no doubt.

No, the only problem is when you run out of breath while saying this out loud.
It's not just the matter of them not knowing the language they profess to love, or eschewing punctuation and paragraphs.
This is really just the way their thoughts free-associate as they spew out their hatreds and fears verbally, or on the printed page.


To: traumer
Just a heads-up to anyone who thinks Gates is “OK”, his benefactors include anti-gun groups and pro-UN causes. Yes, it is his money, but what he does with it is pure stereotypical elitist nonsense.

Tony Stark is calling Bill Gates an elitist??
You're the one with the jet-propelled underwear, chum.


To: traumer
That’s combined with the huge amounts they donate to pro-abortion causes. I guess it’s better to stop all those nasty poor people - and many, as in the US, who wouldn’t even be poor - from being born in the first place.
I’ve never figured out why the Gates’ and the Packards want to contribute so much money to eradicating their potential customer base.

With regards to the following freeper post by "seowulf":

"I've always wondered how many converts a preacher gets when he goes into a bar to preach to drunks.
I've also wondered how many of those preachers end up as drunks."

Oh, Tommy, I fear so much that some day you'll go exploring the caverns of freeperdom and never come back. Just be careful down there, y'hear?



Not a chance.
Familiarity breeds contempt, especially with this lot, and I don't see that changing any time soon.

Every time I think they can't get any more moronic or repulsive, they prove me wrong.
