Good to have a DU bath. Visited FR tonight. Whew.
Good to be back Home. Like many here, I visit FR to see what the GOP cultural stalwarts have to say from time to time (Know Thine Enemy). Too much even for me, who has a strong stomach for such things and will not go into the night without knowledge of the enemy. This was just too repulsive; one thread cheers on "Christians" in Africa killing Muslim tribespeople. FR has come to this: Kill 'em. Kill 'em all. Muslims. Democrats. Evolutionists. Civil rights advocates. The United Nations. Those who do not believe Bush is the Second Coming. Kill 'em all. We are in for very - unprecedented - bad times if Bush "wins" a second term. These are the Brownshirts, and I feel compelled to visit to see the depths to which they have sunk. Little or no debate over there anymore. Just kill 'em all - that is what they believe. Low even for FR. A wake up for us.

9. That kind of blows...
So someone has to post an article in order for them to have a discussion thread?

Huh?

Do they not have a flat-out discussion board like DU does?

11. Go to the link. Click the FR logo (top left). Then click "Latest Posts"
Don't know why they have it this way now. But, oh yes, they have a Discussion Board and you will find it. Nothing like DU, though.

17. Hope your night's sleep isn't ruined. Look under the bed, though.
In a second Bush term, They Will Be There. Nighty night.

3. it's the culture of hate
just check out what one of their prophets rush has been spewing...(make sure to check the link and see some of the examples)

Media Matters for America monitored The Rush Limbaugh Show from March 15 to April 29. During that time, Limbaugh used the term "femi-Nazis" eight times; he suggested that women want to be sexually harassed; he repeatedly equated Democrats with terrorists; he twice resurrected long-discredited right-wing claims that Clinton deputy White House counsel Vince Foster was murdered; he repeatedly called Senator John Kerry a "gigolo"; he called environmentalists "total wackos"; he called Howard Dean "a very sick man"; he said Democrats "hate this country"; he referred several times to Democratic National Committee Chair Terry McAuliffe as a "punk" ... and so on.

On March 17, Limbaugh -- referring to remarks made by Senator John Kerry that were picked up by a microphone -- told listeners, "I'm proud to be a member of the lying crook Republican attack machine." One week later, Limbaugh reassured his listeners that his radio program is "a choo-choo train of truth."

7. Thanks. Rush is off the deep end. Rove wants no part of him.
At least, I will bet that. Rush's day has come and gone. He is officially nuts. If his show started now, he wouldn't last a month. Just a matter of time before he implodes. My wish for him? Take your millions, Rush, and end up a pathetic, sickly, addicted and eccentric figure who at least has health care. Just go away. Now.

6. Why?
I've been online politically since the 2000 election, and I can count the number of times that I've been at FR on two hands.

10. Thought I answered that: Know Thine Enemy
Since 2000 (FR was nuts then, too, admittedly), there has been an increasing Fascistic tone to FR, and the sounds of "The Horst Wessel Song" grow ever louder, particularly since the 2002 election, which emboldened those who seek a one-party (Bush) state. This isn't the hard right; the Cheneys of the world (the real hard right - but with power to back it up) laugh at these Useful Idiots. These are the same kind of dunderheads who formed Hitler's Brownshirts. And they are growing in number, and in calls for violence. The progression has been unmistakable.

12. Oh, I agree about knowing your enemy
I'm glad some of you have the guts for it...the most I can do is watch CNN and MSNBC. Freepers and Faux are just too strong for me.

14. I'd visit FR more often.....
but the layout of the website is so juvenile and hard to navigate, that I can't be bothered.

Note to RimJob: Your site sucks balls! I'm not even commenting on the low IQ of the "regulars" either. One day, RimJob, I'm going to take a White Castle crap in one of your Porto-Johns. Bank on it, dickhead.

15. RimJob: Hah! That's pretty damned good.
Never thought of that. Now, will never forget it.
