Even freepers don't exhibit so much Hillary-hate and cheering of Republicans ....

Warning: Some names may appear familiar to those on DU

1. Sure, yea, it's free Republic 2.0!

Feel better.

[riversedge]

2. Ok, I have avoided peaking

at the site but I was nosey. Need a shower and I only stayed a few minutes.

[geek tragedy]

3. these are the latest version of the PUMAs.

temperamentally they were always more Tea Party like than not.

The Freepers in generally are smarter and more sane than that bunch, at least they know what they are (even if what they are is being rightwing reptilian bigots).

[AntiBank]

54. The Freepers are orders of magnitude crazier and more racist and thuglike

than JPR. It's not even remotely close.

[yallerdawg]

4. If they see no difference between...

Hillary and Trump, Democrat and Republican, I don't know where they lie on a political spectrum, but it is clear where they fall in intelligence quotient!

Some FAMILIAR names over there!

Glad they are gone!

[KingFlorez]

5. Craziness

That's quite a messed up forum.

[Phlem]

6. Free thought is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad.

Go Hillary!

[HamiltonSwan]

46. Your sarcasm is noted.

However, all thoughts are not created equally. The denizens of the Jackpine sewer demonstrate that beautifully.

[hrmjustin]

7. That site is not my cup of tea. Editing to say i just read through that thread and it is eye opening

Masks are slipping.

[JTFrog]

8. "In my opinion the Repukes are correct...."

That about says all anyone needs to hear about that place.

Kind of reminds me of Old Elm Tree.

[jcgoldie]

9. I dont know about that but..

About 95% of the shit I read on that site through your link seems completely divorced from reality.

[DanTex]

10. I still remember when those right-wing scumbags were still allowed to post on DU.

[JTFrog]

15. Yup. Wasn't long ago at all.

Hard to believe one of those racist assholes lasted as long as he did.

[JaneyVee]

20. They are praising Jason Chaffetz, the mask has slipped.

[OilemFirchen]

30. Some of them are still here.

Just FTR.

[cosmicone]

34. One can tell from replies in this thread n/t

[NastyRiffraff]

11. Yes it is

the birth of Feeper 2.0.

Cheering Chaffetz and Gowdy, putting Elijah Cummings down...it's practically indistinguishable from the original. Worse, in fact, because they claim to be liberals. Sorry, "progressives," but I prefer the term liberal.

[giftedgirl77]

12. Meh, fuck em.

[NCTraveler]

14. Left wing isolationists. On many issues they look very similar to Pukes.

Racism, bigotry, and misogyny are often their tells. I find them to be a frightening bunch more often than not completely divorced from reality. That is the kicker. They have no recognition of reality yet are so selfish and ego driven they think it is everyone around them who are the idiots. Facts and reality truly mean little to them.

I would say it is more of a Paul site than a free republic site. Small difference yet distinct enough to make the point.

Some of the bigotry and misogyny there is outrageous. It's deeply ingrained in who they are as people. Grassroots movements are working every day to change their minds on these topics.

I also remember reading JPR. They are absolutely shitting on the person he was. It's disgraceful.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

27. Hating rich people doesn't make you progressive!

[NCTraveler]

35. True that. nt.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

38. A lot of MRA types post there.

Nothing progressive about the MRA movement either.

[NCTraveler]

55. I couldn't believe how they discuss Clintons sexual orientation.

Literally stating they know she is gay. Using it as a slur. Truly sick.

That is on top of all of the posts that are clearly MRA type posts.

I truly think they are left wing isolationists. Very little about a left wing isolationist is progressive. They are cousins to Paul.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

59. If the Southern Poverty Law Center becomes aware of it they might label it a hate site.

[liberal N proud]

16. Think about this, many of those are what we were dealing with on DU for several months

And we are the crazy ones?

WOW! Off to the shower.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

17. Horseshoe theory of politics

Never forget Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union were allies until they weren't.

[Iggo]

18. Jeez.

[JaneyVee]

19. Bookmarking to check on day Bernie endorses Hillz.

[UtahLib]

21. Only bitter ugliness

comes from a mind consumed by hate.

[Jester Messiah]

22. Whatsamatta, sad that people still get to express themselves? n/t

[cosmicone]

23. Expressing is fine ... my point was only that

said expressions were indistinguishable from what is seen on Free Republic.

Hatred for democrats and praise of republicans on a supposedly "progressive" forum

[geek tragedy]

39. No one is trying to censor the lunatics at places

like Free Republic and Judicialwatch Pimping Republicans.

We're just making fun of them.

[NCTraveler]

40. The op seems to be expressing themselves just fine. nt.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

53. Mocking the mockworthy is something we do here

[LonePirate]

24. That place is nothing more than a Hillary hate site.

An overwhelming majority of threads there not dealing with Hillary are met with crickets or maybe a couple of replies. However, any anti-Hillary thread receives dozens of replies in short order. Their Hillary hatred is the only thing unifying that site given the Trump supporters, the Bernie write-in supporters and the Stein supporters. Even worse, many of them claim to be there because of what they felt was a toxic environment here. Somehow they are completely oblivious to the far more toxic and uninviting environment there. It's downright bizarre and sad.

[zappaman]

25. No, that site is full with authoritarians

At least freepers have a sense of humor.

[cosmicone]

29. +1 ... very true.

freepers make me chuckle and occcasionally burst out laughing

The 2.0 makes me shake my head at the stupidity, say WTF or do a

[DemocratSinceBirth]

26. I believe they were lambasting Elijah Cummings and showering Jason Chaffetz with hosannas.

[Autumn]

28. Jackassradicals. A real hate site started by some hillary supporters must have really offended you

[cosmicone]

32. Don't deflect. Stay on the topic

We are talking about jackpine radicals -- which is a serious site.

Don't conflate with parodies intended as humor.

[Autumn]

37. Your topic is hate sites. Don't like that one brought up though.

It wasn't a parody site, your antisemitism and hate were clear to see.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

33. I was informed it is an ersatz MRA site. Was I misled?

Thank you in advance.

[joshcryer]

56. Two hate sites don't make it right.

You can be in denial all you want about JPR, it is a literal hate site.

[LongtimeAZDem]

31. Two sides of the same coin (nt)

[aikoaiko]

36. Way to keep fighting the primary.

Of all the sites who don't support or hate HRC, you have to present jackpineradicals -- a site inspired by Bernie Sanders.

5. Most Importantly, this website supports Bernie Sanders for President.
Please do not waste our time extolling the imaginary virtues of any other candidate or try to sneak them in pretending you’re undecided, or pretending you’re a Bernie supporter when all you can talk about is how wonderful Hillary is. We’re not interested; find another site for that.

[geek tragedy]

41. they have Trump supporters at that site, only Clinton

support/advocacy is banned.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

48. Lol

Hurts to see your own folks behave terribly, doesn't it?

[joshcryer]

49. These people are not Sanders supporters.

Watch JPR pivot for Stein, Johnson, and yes, even Trump, when Sanders endorses Clinton.

[Maru Kitteh]

60. Plenty of Trump supporters are already there, pushing Trump openly

And they are well-received.

[joshcryer]

62. I know.

But you'll see top level endorsements from the mods.

[Maru Kitteh]

52. They support hate. They love nothing else.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=2245771

[NCTraveler]

58. The site has open Trump supporters.

The only thing I have seen not allowed is the promotion of democrats as a whole, specifically Clinton.

[Maven]

42. They are eagerly poring over all of the bogus assertions by the likes of Gowdy and Chaffetz

and lamenting that Comey didn't 'get the job done'.

Truly demented.

[joshcryer]

43. Jury is out on your post. Yes, JPR is a hate site, literately.

[cosmicone]

47. I'm not surprised n/t

[BobbyDrake]

61. So, first they leave DU in a snit, then start a new site from which to hate on DU, and then

they lurk here using DU's jury to try to prevent criticism of their immaturity?

Wankers. Absolute wankers.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

44. So many progressive misogynists and racists

Who could have guessed?

[Maru Kitteh]

45. Some of those delusional MORANS* make Freepers look witty and well-bred

It looks much more to me like the birth of a cult. If you can build a fanatical religious entity around the hatred of one human being, these folks are working REALLY HARD on it.

It has nothing to do with "love" for Senator Sanders, they've already preemptively thrown him under his own bus for endorsing Hillary on Tuesday. No, for them the "revolution" is about one thing and one thing only; hate, and hating her. They desperately seek approval from each other by hating with a greater zeal than their neighbor, thereby proving their revolutionary devotion and creds.

It's more like birth of a really minuscule online North Korea, except their devotion is to hate of a central figure, and hate of anyone who would support or merely even accept her.

It's just wall-to-wall hate. They love nothing else.

[cosmicone]

51. ^^^ THIS ^^^^ n/t

[DemocratSinceBirth]

50. There is so much sexism on that board. The C word is used with abandon there.

If I were a woman I would feel like an African Amereican, Hispanic, or glbtq person at Free Republic as I would feel a lot of their ire is directed toward me.

[BobbyDrake]

57. JPR, the Internet's Dingleberry.

No wonder the level of discourse is so shitty there.

[In_The_Wind]

63. Locking! This forum is for election news only.
