Freepers Respond to ‘Hate Speech’ Criticism By Spewing Hate Speech

Blogosphere • Tue Dec 1, 2009 at 5:03 pm PST • Views: 585

Well, the right wing blogosphere has responded to my post about their almost universal hate speech and ugly ranting with … a deluge of hate speech and ugly ranting. You can easily find numerous examples just by taking a short cruise around the right wing sites, but probably the best one is at Free Republic, the site where thousands of people gleefully cheered and applauded the murder of Dr. George Tiller: Why I Parted Ways With The Right(LGF Blames Free Republic).

I won’t quote the comments, but let’s just examine the tags they put on their post about LGF, shall we?

18 Quilly Mammoth  Tue, Dec 1, 2009 5:18:37pm

Almost any unmoderated forum will produce such results. Freeper's encouragement simply exacerbates the issue.

There's a lot of haters in this world. In point of fact Charles prevents the writing of hate-speech words. In fact bigoted words like R*g***d is not something that can be written here. A form of moderation, but of specific words and not content.

So is the reduction of hate words a function of the community or the host?

How much of the allowing of hate words is the responsibility of the host and how much the writer?

Freedom of Speech is a tricky Subject but I think it allows the owner of a publication the right to deny sppech he or she disagrees with. So long as the guv'mint doesn't do it.

19 SanFranciscoZionist  Tue, Dec 1, 2009 5:18:59pm

There's something about the title "Freeper" that is inherently cute. I wish the thing itself was cuter. I mean, if you didn't know what a Freeper was, you'd think it was a little furry thing with big eyes that went 'Freep! Freep!' when it wanted an ear-scratch.

Instead, they're just unpleasant people who talk a lot of nonsense.

These people have a very selective knowledge of history. Remind me to tell you sometime about the more than one screaming arguments I've gotten into with people about the supposed connection between the Nazis and Gay Liberation.

Also, they feel extremely threatened by gay people. For some of them 'homophobia' is not a euphemism, it is an exact description.

I don't know whether to feel insulted or amused.

I'll go with the latter 'cause it's easier to laugh than to get lathered up.

Also, although I say I hate homosexuality, I sure do go on about it at great length, including mentioning several acts I find disgusting.

re: #26 MandyManners

It's a reference from the science fiction show Red vs. Blue. One of the characters is a little slow, and believes, incorrectly, that one of the other characters is a robot, and male. (She is neither.) When another character identifies himself as her ex-boyfriend, this guy works out: "So that makes you...a gay robot."

The man he's talking to clearly thinks about trying to explain, and gives up. "Yes," he says, "I am a gay robot." And they talk about something else.

That's awfully complicated to explain. It's funny when he says it. There are t-shirts with the line on them.

It's hard to figure out. I recently attended a demonstration where there was a banner across the street that said "Lesbians Support The Palestinian Intifada".

Someone told the woman in charge of the sign that this was on the same lines as "Turkeys for Thanksgiving", and she was not amused.

They've been tortured, beaten, threatened, and I'm pretty sure killed. It's extrajudicial--sort of.

Humans who have sex with robots are called robosexuals.

I don't know about hanging, but they fear for their life and have been escaping into Israel where homosexuality is not a crime. It is in the disputed territories.

More than that, the P.A. considers homosexuality a crime, just as they do in Iran and I believe in all Arab countries. Maybe not in the UAE.

There are plenty of Arabs who are law-abiding Israeli citizens who chose to live and work in Israel. It'd say the war has made it very hard to maintain good relations for either side.

I had a Palestinian gay hairdresser years ago. He escaped into Israel, stayed a few years, and then came to school here in the states where he got his citizenship. The guy's a trip and is more than thankful to be rockin in the free world lol

"religiousfaggots" - that's an interesting one. Do they hate because of the religious or the gay part? Or because gay people can be religious? Or are they saying that religious people are gay?

hmmm... I'll noodle on that for a while.

FR is nothing more now than an echo chamber for thoughtless knuckle-draggers to back-pat each other and send JimRob money. They really think it costs 80 grand a quarter to run a chat site.
