Can we please forget about freerepublic?
 
Seriously, DU. There's no great honour in being "Not Freerepublic" (TM). It's a dumb old rock of a site and the tiny (in comparison with DU) number of people posting there are too ludicrous to be angry with.

I know this is probably going to fall on deaf ears but I thought I'd at least give it a try. Freerepublic's a toilet. Poking fun at them makes us all look cheap.

2. Free republic is funny in a tragic way
 Edited on Tue Nov-29-11 01:07 PM by nadinbrzezinski
There is a second site, even smaller, that qualifies as a hate site.

FR has a few lose screws (the shooter at the holocaust museum for example) but that other site is full of lose screws.

Just saying. Monitoring is not a bad idea, and at least FR has it's moments of dark Comedy. 

Any idea what she is talking about?

I always thought Nads was tragic, in a funny way. :mental:

5. It's the main theme of US politics lately....
Create a way-far-right boogieman, promote it as the "Real Threat", then offer right-of-center policies as the compromise.
Huh? :mental:

Not familiar with that poster, but it's probably one of the many tools over there who regards all-on Socialism as 'Center right.'

What's tragic is the entire first page of the DUmp GD forum without even a single thread about any of the Occupooper encampments.

Why is that? We need a cub reporter to get out there and investigate.

Have we had another Day That Finally Changed Everything?

Are Occupooper camps just urban hobo jungles?

Oh, and by the way, nutcase nadin's Occupoopers in San Diego are getting laughs:

Quote
SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Members of Occupy San Diego set up about 25 tents in Civic Center Plaza Monday, but it was a far cry from a return to the tent city days of past weeks.

In a statement to the media earlier Monday, Occupy San Diego spokesman Mike Garcia said the tents would return, but did not indicate they would be miniature versions. The tents, about two feet in diameter and made from cloth and wire, elicited laughter from supporters.

I'm reminded of the Stonehenge monument in "Spinal Tap".

I got a chuckle out of this:

Monitoring is not a bad idea.....

nadin apparently knows this is one of the three main functions of the DUmpster.

The primary function of the DUmpster is to provide comedy.  The secondary function of the DUmpster is doing anthropological research.

The third most-important function of the DUmpster, third but still very important, is "quality control," testing the primitives to see if they're what they say they are; if they're as good and decent and civilized and smart and unselfish as they advertise themselves to be.

It's sort of like quality control in a factory, someone being sure the products are up to snuff.

Or better yet, the DUmpster is the FDA (Food & Drug Administration) of the primitives.

Given that the primitives seem to be in favor of constant governmental regulation, surely the primitives have no problems being checked themselves, to see if they're as they advertise themselves to be.

In Nadin's case we test to see if she is as erudite as she claims.  It is not our fault she is severely lacking in mathematics, physics, history, medicine, and everything else she claims. 

It's like a cable assembler complaining that the Quality Assurance guy is a prick because he keeps rejecting her flawed work.

I've always been interested in knowing if a primitive's ever passed the "quality assurance test," where a primitive was what the primitive advertised himself to be.

I haven't known of a case, but maybe someone else here has.

Well, it depends on how low your want to set the bar.  Bobo the Hobo and the Subway Kitty, for instance, seem to be pretty much the real nut-cases they play on DU.
