The right-wing echo chamber Free Republic, where private citizens spit pseudonymous venom, is also a rich treasure trove of nastiness. In late 2003 when the Massachusetts Supreme Court voted to allow marriage rights for same-sex couples, the Freepers went off:
"This is great that Massachusett's gay judges did this. Let all the fudgepackers move there and be clients of the Dickem and Dunkem (Ted Kennedy) law firm," wrote a poster named "Therapist."
"Can I marry my mule?" asked another.
Another responded: "Sorry. Next step is to give them your boys. They want the age of consent lowered to around 10 years old. Your mule will have to wait in line."
"There is nothing 'normal' about homos," another added. "Even the wild animals know better (Except male goats. They're really filthy)."

Most of those quotes are pretty funny. I don't see what they're getting sore about. So to speak.

Well, let's be honest, here. Anyone wanting to find ugly sounding quotes on FR won't have to dig far. FR has got a lot of great opinions and ideas, but sometimes they're mired in some unpleasent looking threads.
If we really cared about not being smeared (i.e. quoted verbatim), then we should hold ourselves to a higher standard and keep the discourse more civil.

No, no, no. Deep inside their hearts, they LOVE us. If they hated us, they would ignore us. After all these years, its great to know we've finally grabbed their attention! ;-)
