Good morning, everyone!
Whether you're happy or puzzled over Barack Obama's being awarded the Nobel Peace prize for (per Attaturk) "Not being a dick", if nothing else, you have to love the exploding head action in deepest darkest Freepervile. Let's suit up, go into the containment chamber, and sample the crazy, shall we?
The hilarity starts at 4:01AM Friday, with this post:
Obama wins the Nobel peace Prize

President Obama wins the Nobel Peace Prize
ABC NEws
The poster is so rattled, he forgets to include the link, drops case on the last two characters of "NEWS", and then replies to his own post:

Yep. He also decided not to nuke Teheran for the same reason. If this Freeper bozo had two sequentially-firing brain cells, he'd know that the nominated are never tipped off, and the POTUS would need a time machine (which he's accused of later) to find out that he would be the winner in advance, and ixnay on the ombing-bay.
"Woos". Also.
To: GigantorThis confirms it-the Nobel peace prize has become a farce.
Apologized for the nutcases who replaced "We come in peace for all Mankind" with "He tried to kill my Daddy!", and their attempt to drive foreign policy off a cliff in a Hummer?
To: GigantorThis is a joke, isn’t it?

Can there be any doubt now, Obama is the Anti-Christ.
He’s not the one setting the stage.
He’s it.

It’s not what he did.
It’s what he DIDN’T do.
What you DON’T do goes over real big with the boys on the Nobel committee.32 posted on Friday, October 09, 2009 4:18:49 AM by supremedoctrine
Like he DIDN'T invade, on false pretenses, a country that didn't attack the U.S. or have anything to do with the 9/11 attacks? That kind of DIDN'T ?
To: The RavenAnybody know why he got it?Same MO as everyone who ever gets it. Stands for everything against American tradition and ideals.
Much like Theodore Roosevelt, Albert Schweitzer, Mother Theresa, Martin Luther King, Lech Walesa, the 14th Dali Lama, Doctors Without Frontiers, and Elie Wiesel. "Against American traditions and ideals"? Well, maybe anti- your ideals, but then again, you're a cowardly shit-eating weasel with delusions of humanity.
Irrational jingo, more like. Let's break that down, because that last statement even confused me, and I speak fluent wingnut.
He's "missing a lot of blood on his hands", which, of course, is a requirement for winning the Nobel Peace Prize. Mother Theresa, we hardly knew ye!
He's missing blood on his hands, but they figured he's got a good start with American troop blood which was shed in Iraq because Dubya just had to have his war. Really?
I think maybe irrational jingo has the Nobel Peace Prize confused with the Nobel War Prize.
To: GigantorThis clinches it. Given everything that has happened in the past year and now this, I finally have come to the conclusion that everything I know is wrong.

To: AllThe “Nobel” folks are the same ilk as the UN folks . This is a surprise to anyone? Those who cheer for the “giant” to fall are having a field day with this ass of a president.
I have been calling for civil disorder since day one. I was calling for a new Tea Party on FR long before anyone heard of the present Tea Parties ( and got kicked off of FR for a month because of it )
What in the nine billion names of God do you have to do to get kicked off fucking Free Republic??
What are we going to do people? sit here and chat on FR until the demise of America in complete?

Pretty much, yeah. That's exactly what you're going to do.

to do about this?
Motorpool Guy: what?
Fletcher: Nothing! Because if I take it to small claims court, it will just drain 8 hours out of my life and you probably won't show up and even if I got the judgment you'd just stiff me anyway; so what I am going to do is piss and moan like an impotent jerk, and then bend over and take it up the tailpipe!
Motorpool Guy: [tossing the keys to
Fletcher] You've been here before haven't ya?
More impotent and amusing Freeper craziness after the jump

If this country survived eight years of Dubya, it can survive anything.
To: GigantorWhen I awoke this morning, I see the someone has still not corrected a serious mistake made several months agoThat is, the world is still upside down and ass backwards.
Please someone flip it back to "normal"
You see this a lot in right wing nutcase-world.
They long for the return of a 1950s America that, frankly, never existed.
They want it to be like Leave It To Beaver, Ozzie And Harriet, and Father Knows Best. Well, I've got a newsflash for them. IT WAS TELEVISION, NOT REAL LIFE! IT WAS A WHITE PERSON FANTASY WORLD! Even in the dreary little towns where people strove to be Ward and June Cleaver, it didn't exist, because Ward would beat up June after three too many martinis, or because he caught June fucking the mailman, and Wally was beating off in his bedroom as much as studying.
Yet, somehow, these weird little black-and-white passion plays got converted through the wingnut things-as-we'd-like-to-see-them-rather-than-how-they-are filter into memory, like Reagan misremembering WWII.
Or as a commenter over at the GOS put it:
"It is the world of Leave It To Beaver, Donna Reed, Ozzie and Harriet, and Father Knows Best, where pretty white housewives dance around their tidy living rooms in dresses and heels, where the bread-winning man “knows best,” and where the problem du jour is Wally’s zit, just before the big dance.
You won’t see people of color in this America, and if you do the role is predictable: shoe shine man, maid, yard worker. They’re certainly not in the office with Ward. (WTF does Ward do, anyway?) You won’t see black people living next door to the Cleavers either, because banks, home builders, politicians, and real estate agents colluded to keep them out of the neighborhood: “red lining” it was called. Funny, Ward and June never talk about that. They’re too busy with Wally’s pimple, but at the same time they’re trying to help him prepare for his date, across town little black girls are being spit on and yelled at just for trying to go to school."
All I can add to that is:
Ok - we've got the whining and disbelief and the delusion that improving America's image abroad is a bad thing.
Now comes the worst: Freepers attempt humour.
The Freepers flail about rudderless for awhile, posting things like:
Comment: absurd decision on Obama makes a mockery of the Nobel peace prize
And then? Freepers begin - you guessed it - making a mockery of the Nobel Peace Prize!
Obama wins Pulitzer Prize and Oscar to join his Nobel Prize!!!!!!
Breaking: NHL cancels season, awards Stanley Cup to Barack Obama (And other news)
BREAKING: Obama Wins Dancing with the Stars Trophy - Rest of Season Cancelled
BREAKING: Obama wins "Survivor" reality show!
Obama wins $10 Million Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes.
BREAKING! obama wins "American Idol"
Barack Obama Wins Indianapolis 500!
BREAKING: Obama Wins All Events at 2012 Olympics!
And so on.
Oh yes - this is funny stuff! Screen-door-in-a-submarine funny.
Somehow, I'm reminded of the MTM show "Chuckles Bites The Dust" episode. Sometimes you have to laugh hysterically to keep from crying. Sometimes you stand athwart the tide of history yelling "Stop!" and suddenly realize that the tide passed you some time ago.
And of course - classy as always:
-
BREAKING: Michelle Obama wins Best in Show
- In a surprise move Michelle Obama has been named "Best in Show" at this year's Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. The show is widely believed to be the premier event of its kind in the world. The news came as a disappointment to "Ch Clussexx Three D Grinchy Glee," a.k.a. "Stump," a Sussex Spaniel who was hoping to repeat this year.
You gotta love it.
After about five pages of oh-so-funny vanity posts from people who need not quit their day jobs, it starts to get a bit much even for some of the Freeperati - who suddenly remember that people can SEE!

Please stop. I've recently recommended FR to several people and if this is their first visit to FR well it makes me and everyone on here look like an ASS!
(...says the poster with the screen name "for-q clinton". Right.)
(Hooper) "Looks ain't deceivin' .... you old fart."
Stop it already.
To: for-q-clintonAgreed. I enjoyed the first handful, but then questioned whether there was some site attack going on. Started checking the poster join dates, and curiously found them all over the map. I wonder if there are thousands of new accounts, perhaps registered at least in the last year, for just such occasions. But I did see some “award posts” from year-2000 joiners.

Posted on Friday, October 09, 2009 1:20:42 PM by BooBoo1000
I have been a reader of the Free Republic for a long time, also I have never been a support of Obama, but I cannot belive all of the tripe that has appeared on this board today. Everything from Obama going to heaven to Obama spreading the waters of the Red Sea.
I can remember when the Free Republic was a repository for breaking news, that was news. Not some board that makes fun of the President of the United States.
I wonder what has happened to all of the real Freepers who met conversed and enjoyed the Free Republic Site not all lof these comicdwannabees who are not funny. Very sad to see a good site bogged down with this drivel.
Yeah! Let's get back to the serious threads about how the Obamanation is really the Antichrist!
And while we're on the subject of party poopers:
Huckabee warns Republicans on Nobel reaction

Huckabee warns Republicans on Nobel reaction Posted: October 9th, 2009 12:20 PM ET From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney (CNN) – Mike Huckabee is advising his fellow Republicans to temper their criticism of President Barack Obama's Nobel Peace Prize award. In a posting on his blog, the former GOP presidential candidate writes that members of his party must be careful their comments don't sound like "right-wing whining." "There will be an outcry from those on the right who will say that Obama's nomination, made two weeks into his presidency, is impossible to justify, but I think such an outcry will sound like right-wing whining," Huckabee wrote. "The better response is simply to allow those on the left to explain what he did in his first two weeks as President that merited such recognition."
Freeper reply? "Fuck you! We're assholes, we enjoy being assholes, and we're rebranding the GOP as such!"
This is ridiculous!Also Pawlenty Twittered this:
"appropriate response' to Obama winning the Nobel Prize is to say 'congratulations".

"Scandalous! Who would dare suggest such a thing! Well, no one's gonna stop me from being a proud asshole."
To: BallygrlBoth those bastards can go f*ck themselves. Or likely each other.
With reposting that comment, I do believe that in this post, I have now exceeded the "fuck" content of all my previous First Draft posts combined.
To: BallygrlThey can both stuff it!
I’m tired of RINOs telling conservatives how to react.

Huh? Let me get my wingnut decoder ring and look that one up.
Speu? Nah. Needs a "w" at the end. Much like the GOP.
Steu? Also needs a "W" to finish it off.
Scru? Hmmm. Needs an additional "E" and a "W" to finish it off.
Saskatchewan University? Nah. too obscure. I give up.

The Freepers could simplify their lives considerably if they just admitted that while the world appreciates Obama, the world doesn't like them.
Of course though, I wonder how much of the freeper bluster is an attempt to fight off feelings of worthlessness.

A definite plus. And not just in Freeperville--all over wingnutia.That’s what made his head explode. Two of them accidentally went off at once (probably connected up backwards). That’s never happened before and they have no safety precautions.
They had a “W”. He finished them off.
