Does anyone have a list or some highlights of the most appalling names that Freepers (or equivalents) have used to call Obama? I want to use them as a caption under a cartoon of a smiling Obama with his family.

The seat of our government should definitely get rid of all phones and computers and communicate strictly on smoke signals and placing your hand over a flashlight while standing on the street.

Good luck getting your loving SS checks and Medicare after rolling the government back to skeleton crew status, assholes. Personally, if more of you died as a result, maybe it'd be a net good for the country.

SocketWrench posted:Well, the drives should be getting worse with time given each election they have a compaction cycle Post-2012 they've been more and more pathetic, with increasingly passive-aggressive pleading by jimrob as the deadline approaches (though one suspects this is largely an act and the last-minute rush is in large part him making up the difference with people who for some reason still are signed up for monthly donations). Who knew that constantly purging wrongthinkers, not letting anyone in without passing stringent ideological tests, and leaving your site stuck in late 90s format would have such an impact!

I always assumed that the freepathons were just a ploy for him to get money, and that he just puts out an arbitrary number to get the rubes to send more cash. Like he puts on a big show about needing the money so he can continue to bilk thousands out out the remaining freepers, and he'll just say the goal was met at the end of it regardless.

Nah, he has a set goal and has broken down where the money went before. From what I gather it makes up a main source of income for him and his immediate family, so I would guess saying somehow the difference was made up every time would convince people that it wasn't that important because some rich freeper (a sort of bizzaro Soros, if you will) was paying it

Someone itt once posted something about how the reason some online conspiracy nuts, freepers etc have A tendency to USE caps LOCK in odd PLACES is because schizophrenia makes you believe those particular words hold power to understanding the world around you, and because you don't realize you have schizophrenia, you bold those to try to make the same insight available to the reader. Anyone know what I'm talking about? It's pretty interesting from a linguistic perspective, and I'd like to track down the post again.

It's that, but it's also something that comes up in a lot of advertising/marketing designs and is used to similar effect but in a more restrained way by plenty of good writers over time. It's also just something that you can do anywhere while you can't say bold or italicize. Or hell, just think about how many widespread versions of the bible use Capitalized Things to indicate something's special, especially Lord. Most people will have seen it used to good effect at some point in their lives, even though attempting to imitate it tends to look silly.

Sounds like the same idea sovcits use when they ramble off the constitution while being ticketed/arrested along with "I DO NOT CONSENT!"

I think I'll do a freep dive when I get home tonight. There is a thread about that politician calling for a holy war against Muslims and another one about the Iran attacks, I am hoping there will be one about Comey reportedly asking not to be left alone with Trump. Also from the Iran one quote:To: Zakeet No, no one called it that because that would mean the day of smell, you illiterate gently caress.
