Oh this is sweet.  The Daily KOS BLOG is at it again.  Found this linked on the Cosmopolity RNC Bloggers.  The latter is a truly charming (and bloodthirsty) site that is seemingly made up of leftist terrorists and anarchists (there's a difference?) planning on a little civil disobedience and window smashing in the Big Apple next week.  This one, however, stuck out.  It refers to a relative Freeper newby, FinnMan69.  I have sanitized the language to meet forum rules.

Freeper A**holes

Ahem. Okay, this is kinda sorta funny, though it's pissed me off just enough to put it on the front page. Actually, it isn't funny at all. It just shows what a bunch of psychotic a**holes those Freepers really are.

Remember that place I had lined up to crash while in NYC? My friend Jeff found it on the counterconvention.org web site. The people were very friendly, giving me wonderful directions to their apartment and telling me that I could crash there until I leave on the 5th. Hmm. That's generous. Too generous, actually.

I have to admit that I fell for it at first, because I was getting desperate about where I was going to stay. My friend Jeff (also a photographer) and I are both pretty broke (and a huge thanks to those of you that contacted me and volunteered to help out with that aspect. I love you guys.) So, here we have two broke dudes flying 2,000 miles from home to make our voices heard (and to take pictures) in NYC, and here we have a couple in NYC that opens their home to these two protesters in hopes of helping out. What a country.

But then, I had that nagging feeling. Wouldn't it suck to fly all the way there and find out that we were being duped? I figured I could Google their email address and see what was up. Well, there was nothing except the aforementioned cc.org housing listing. So I removed the "@hotmail.com" from the email address and Googled the handle instead. Surely if they were not on the level they would be smart enough to not use a handle that would lead to incriminating evidence. Well, I forgot that Republicans in general and Freepers specifically are a bunch of heartless, brainless f****ng a**holes.

Here is the Freeper homepage for our lovely guests in NYC. Member* since July 11, 2001.

*When I say "Member" I mean DICK.

More after the bump...

Anyway, I write this as a warning to others out there who are depending on the kindness of strangers. (I've already notified counterconvention.org) My friend and I are well and truly f***ed now, though it certainly would have been worse if we'd actually gone there expecting a place to stay.

I don't know what else to say other than that no Kossack would ever, ever do such a thing to a Freeper. (Oh yeah, he also went on about how much he "loves dailykos.")

2,000 miles from home and no place to stay?

Nice... you f***ng a**holes.

Now, this piece makes loads of assumptions about finnman69, including that he's not a disruptor (I have no idea, one way or the other, but there certainly a lot of folks signing up in  the run up to the election, for both good reasons and bad).  Regardless, this guy is a jerk.  I might also suggest that finnman69 might want to make sure to check his locks and put up bars or screens to keep out any Molotov cocktails, whether he is "one of us," an interested neutral or a plant.  Unlike our friend KOS I don't wish anyone ill.  That, of course, assumes that the address provided to KOS was a real one.  I think it would be a great idea to give out addresses for such worthy's as Jimmy Breslin or other "luminaries" of the left as crash pads for these loons.

PING

This is about you. You've made the BLOGsphere.

Warning. You may not like it.

[Mike1973]

Gee, that is too bad.

Awwwwww. Diddle widdums boo-boo bear.

I would've never guessed they were leftists.

[Petronski]

Is this you? Has this turd been punk'd? By a Freeper?


LOL if true.

[annyokie]

Finnman is one of us. I don't know if he was pranked or he was the prankee.

[b4its2late]

Sounds like a badge of courage move to me.....

[writer33]

Awe. A single tear rolls down my cheek.

[Petronski]

And the spittle is flying on their forum discussion of this event.

[weegee]

I would warn anyone, INCLUDING REGISTERED DEMOCRATS, to think twice about hosting an absolute stranger (and confessed radical protestor) in their residence.

If something goes "down", you will be cited as an accomplice.

"I would warn anyone, INCLUDING REGISTERED DEMOCRATS, to think twice about hosting an absolute stranger (and confessed radical protestor) in their residence."

I will second that emotion. The internet is a wonderful thing and all, and I love all you guys, but....LET'S BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!

[sarasota]

I think these goons are just practicing their own brand of "terrorism". Lots of talk. We'll see how much/what kind of action they can bring down in NYC.

[Mike1973]

One of the replies on their forumn to that rant.

"Is there a law against that kind of thing? Harmful deception or something?"

ROFLMAO

Yes, harmful deception indeed.

[Texas Eagle]

Ahem. Okay, this is kinda sorta funny, though it's pissed me off just enough to put it on the front page. Actually, it isn't funny at all.

Imagine that. A Lib who is of two minds.

I have to admit that I fell for it at first, because I was getting desperate about where I was going to stay. My friend Jeff...

Oh. Right. You're "friend" Jeff.

(also a photographer) and I are both pretty broke (and a huge thanks to those of you that contacted me and volunteered to help out with that aspect. I love you guys.)

Suckerrrrrrrs.

But then, I had that nagging feeling.

Jeff's a bitch, isn't he?

Wouldn't it suck to fly all the way there and find out that we were being duped?

There's a VRWCer behind every lamppost.

So I removed the "@hotmail.com" from the email address and Googled the handle instead. Surely if they were not on the level they would be smart enough to not use a handle that would lead to incriminating evidence.

Surely. Is that what they taught you at Protesting School? So-o-o-o, since they DIDN'T remove the "incriminating evidence" then evidently they WERE sincere. Right?

[tioga]

Good find. This is funny. I will be curious to see what our FReeper knows about this.

[Mike1973]

This is kind of funny, but the responses on their website is hilarious.

[jla]

2,000 miles from home and no place to stay?

Logic would dictate that one doesn't travel unless one has the funds for a roof over one's head, (not at a total stranger's place), and something to eat.

I guess these Lefties really are smarter than us stupid Freepers. [/deliberate & emphatic sarcasm]

[Drango]

bummer dude...

[Salamander]

You're only amazed that they're doing this while broke?

*I'd* like to know how they got that much time off from their *jobs* to undertake this little adventure.

Oh...wait...silly me...never mind.....:)
