Freepers in meltdown mode over county's vote (more Freeper Madness)

The Internet's most notorious outpost of fascism has been roll-on-the-floor hilarious lately!

Some of you have expressed disappointment with this feature, on the grounds that Free Republic is so irrelevant these days that it's not even worth my time to poke fun at them. But I think this feature highlights what a simpering mess Freak Rethuglic has become.

Much noise was emitted by the rightwingnutosphere after candidate Obama made a statement referring to the supposed bitterness of rural America. But this installment (like the one in which Freepers called western Pennsylvania a "traitor area") shows that Free Republic's regulars look down on working-class rural areas far more than most other individuals ever could.

The Freeper brain trust's ire was stoked by an article about the fact that Obama won Menifee County, a tiny, rural bailiwick in east central Kentucky. In response to the article, one Freeper declared:

"These peckernecks just want mo' benefits so they can keep the oxycontin rollin' in."

You know, if conservatives such as those on Free Republic want to be seen as in step with the country, it might be wise if they'd shed the bigoted stereotypes about working-class Kentuckians. This statement of theirs makes them sound just like the spoiled preps I encountered in high school - almost verbatim (except OxyContin wasn't introduced in America until after I was in high school).

That Freepers would make such a statement speaks volumes about their intolerance.

Folks often make comments about regions that might be misinterpreted. But the above quote leaves no doubt as to the nasty spirit in which it's intended. That quote is an active volcano (not one that's been dormant for years) - and it's hard to misread a volcano.

Another post of theirs however is downright uproarious. I almost had to do a double-take, because I couldn't believe they said it. Here it comes:

"The largest employer in Menifee is the school district. Those are lib just about anywhere you go."

Stop it! Stop it! You're killing me via excessive laughter!

I know, man. Schools are really, really "lib", aren't they? I've known for a while that Freepers have monitored The Online Lunchpail - but obviously they don't understand any of it, if they think schools are "lib." There's probably 5 to 10 entries on my blog per week about the right-wing leanings of America's schools.

Out of about 10 different schools, I don't think I ever had a school principal who was left of center.

Free Republic may well be the Internet's best comedy website!
