FReepers (batter) ^ | 31 July 2007 | FReepers

How's this:
NWO - New World Order. A phrase often (but, incorrectly) solely attributed to George Bush the elder. It is generally not regarded as a good thing, because it is considered to smack of world government and subjugation of American interests and independence. In NWO discussions you will often find co-references to the CFR, the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderbergers and others, all shadow organizations said to be secretly working to implement one world government -- and a socialist/communist one to boot.

I’ll add the information in but do you know of any reference links where this originated...anyone post the BS rant here on FR?

[batter]

The Other Harry has his place in the lore. Too classic to ignore.

[batter]

How often is this used? I haven't seen it much. Here is my definition:
Saint Pancake - reference to Rachel Corrie who was...ahem...flattened by an IDF bulldozer operation (IDF states debris from the operation hit her) as she tried to stop IDF forces in their operations against Palistinian terrorists. The left's response? Hold a pancake breakfast: The Rachel Corrie Pancake Breakfast

[Tijeras_Slim]

It seems to crop up whenever a Corrie thread appears (for someone who’s dead, it’s amazing how often it happens). First there were threads about her idiot parents giving a picture of her to Arafat (probably the only thing Hamas looters left in his office)then their suing Caterpillar, and then because Alan Rickman tried promoting a play about her that bombed.

It’s not something that appears on a variety of threads, so it might not rate inclusion in the lexicon after all.

[batter]

How about:

Morford (aka Miss Morford or Morfordite) - reference to degenerate San Fransisco types based on the socialist moonbat screachings of San Francisco Chronicle columnist Mark Morford (ie Anti-conservative, anti-family, anti-religion, anti-American and Pro-illicit drugs, pro-deviant sex, pro-anything-goes-without-any-responsibility).

Updated. Thanks.

[batter]

Thanks, I thought I had that in the 2006 version...don’t know what I was thinking there. It will be in the updated version.

IIRC, it was during the initial "yellowcake from Niger" kerfluffel. Her stuff was linked and quoted in excerpt, but I seem to remember the original BS source article disappeared from her site when the idiocy became well known. Searches on keywords "hugh" "series" and "veyseries" indicate it was somewhere in 8/02. That's when those start to show up. Here is a related thread from around that time. And another

[M Kehoe]

You’re knowledge of early FReeper yore is limited.

I'm pinging the Spelling Nazis on you.

I know, I spend way too much time on here...

Seems I was wrong on "hugh". Original thread here.

IIRC, the Streissand quote was during the initial "yellowcake from Niger" kerfluffel. Her stuff was linked and quoted in excerpt, but I seem to remember the original BS source article disappeared from her site when the idiocy became well known.

That’s weird. My answer posted while I was still editing it.

[batter]

I want to add this to the lore section. Let me know if I have it right and please fill in the blank on when the FReeps began. Thanks!

Walter Reed FReeps - The DC Chapter of FreeRepublic has held a constant vigil near the Medical Center's entrance to welcome and support our wounded servicemen and women and to counter the "greeting" given by Code Pink and various anti-war leftists groups. The FReeps commenced in [fill in blank] and continue. At one point, Code Pink forgot to renew the protest permit, allowing FReepers to capture the opposing corner.

[batter]

My condolences, leadpenny. The thread was found and you/it will be going in FR Lexicon for all to see :-). Just blame LexBaird, he’s the stool pigeon.

[batter]

Anyone want to out the “series” poster?...

[batter]

Thanks!

How about:

GOE (Gathering Of Eagles) - A huge push back against the left on the war on terror (specifically Iraq). Veterans Groups, Move America Forward, FreeRepublic, Michelle Malkin, HotAir, etc etc. organized themselves and mobilized to Washington DC to protect various memorials (especially, the Vietnam Memorial) and counter the left, which had defaced memorials in previous war protests, on March 17, 2007 (Iraq War anniversary). Despite having professional PR firms etc involved, the moonbats eked out a paltry 10,000, and were faced by about 30,000 'eagles' (in a rapid grassroots effort). Local GOE rallies were also held in support of the DC rally for those unable to travel to the big show.

[Christian4Bush]

One that I put together in 2004: Flurch Munster

Flipper (for his flip flops) + Lurch (from the Addams Family) + Munster (for Herman Munster)...dedicated to John Kerry (who served in Vietnam)

[Domandred]

Seems a little long, but yea something like that. More goes in glossary then lore after I think about it a little more.
