Howlin, thanks for the ping! Loved this article - brought me out of my post-vacation doldrums ;-)

...probably wouldn't wear a "Fry Mumia" T-shirt, as Dave does...This was a TEAM effort!

Wonderful!...ROFL...BTTT

[Libertina]

Just wonderful... and it's so great to read a piece by a writer who knows what FReepers are about. The mainstream press would have just said "Protestors." This guy has "gotten" all the funny, creative, charm of the FReep and captured the participants of both sides with a picture perfect brush. "Die from laughing" indeed!

Dave Fordice, a Freeper mechanical engineer, is conducting a high-volume marriage seminar (What would you do if your husband serially cheated on you?), when he's accosted by a Hillary partisan in a postal service uniform, who goes, well, kind of postal. It's hard to understand her through all the foaming, but she says something about Dave not being God, which all of us--even Dave--know, because God probably wouldn't wear a "Fry Mumia" T-shirt, as Dave does.

The DC Chapter rideth forth to fame!

But Hillary greets everyone with a smile, as her eyes bulge big--so big that the whites attain 360-degree clearance around her irises.

Best part!!! Can't quit laughing at that visual.

Here ya go:

[Laura Earl]

She looks demented, don't you think?

[BOBTHENAILER]

The Hillaryites' tormentors are the Freepers, a fierce, warlike tribe from the Free Republic organization--a fire-breathing conservative band of Internet brothers who often call each other by their screen names, even in person.

My favorite too. Probably will result in a few tagline take-offs.

When I saw that pic, I thought, "What's wrong with her eyes? LOL.

This is an alltime classic in Freeper annals.

[GOPrincess]

Thanks for the ping! Great article.

I really have trouble believing it's possible for Hillary to have made the $8 million in a week, or for the publisher to even know this... For starters don't they just know how many books they shipped to stores, or do they actually have sales records? There's no telling how many of the books are going to end up as returns to the publisher.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

YES, I am mulling over new taglines!

[Grampa Dave]

Our screen names are great, and our tag lines allow us to adapt them to the reality of the day/week or whatever.

On a coffee table at work there is a Time magazine with her " Big brother loves you" face staring at you with all of its hidden malice. I make it a point to turn it upside down whenever I pass that way.

Why not take a Sharpie pen with you next time you pass by, and give her a mustache ane goatee? And rename it "Lying History."

[Blue Scourge]

AWW man, I actually work at a wal-mart (just until I start school again in the fall). If anyone heres anything about her coming to the wal-mart in Staunton VA, than please Ping me....I'll let you guys/gals in the back way so we can have a real freep for her. ;)

[Cordova Belle]

Bookmarked!

Oh my goodness! This is absolutely, positively HILARIOUS!

Thanks for the ping, Howlin! I'm still laughing!!

[Carolina]

Gee, thanks for the pic, alnick. I think...;)

She does cause some retinal burn, doesn't she?
