6. Its a site that has reposted
images and stories from http://wearethe99percent.tumblr.com/ with sickening right wing commentary insulting and belittling the people who have posted their story. The comments section will make you want to throw up. Literally. It's disgusting hateful and shameful.

Next time someone tells you that OWS and the tea party should join forces just send them to this site. There will be no joining of forces.

7. Repukes create fake personas to combat reality.
Edited on Fri Oct-07-11 07:41 PM by DaveJ
Repukes criticizing the 99% because, in their minds, we made imperfect decisions that make us deserving of our ruined lives.

Oops: edit, by "fake personas" I meant, they create perfect images of themselves in their imaginations, thinking they are Godlike, incapable of signing the wrong mortgage or getting the wrong college degree. I wish human beings were as perfect as they think they are.

9. I can't even say what I'd like to do to these assholes.
Suffice to say it makes me seriously question my own mental state.

10. One of my Facebook "friends," someone I sort of have to keep because of knowing the person in real
life, posted an article from a conservative website on another topic.

I decided to check it out, and there was another article called something like, "A message to the 99%." And it was all, "We went to good schools and majored in useful subjects and worked hard, so we're succeeding and you slackers who spent all your time smoking dope while majoring in dumb things like English and history are trying to pay off loans while making mochas at Starbucks, nya-nya-nya-nya." Those weren't the exact words, but that was the tone.

And the comments were all in the same tone. "Look how wonderful we are. Look how dumb they are." It was upper-class twittitude in action.

I commented under my other pseudonym, "Are you all really that callous and smog, or are you just clueless? I don't normally wish bad things on people, but I'll make an exception in your case: I hope you have to learn from experience what the protesters are protesting."

11. I'd forgotten but I used to post on humanevents dot com quite some time ago.
I'm not sure what they're like now but at the time they didn't ban liberal posters and didn't delete any liberal posts, it was a good place to argue with conservatives.
