"No - YOU'RE the liberal, stupid!!"

A commenter suggested a couple of Civil War threads. Now, I've been there, and such threads rarely change. Plus, they usually just turn into flame wars or esoteric historical wanking. But then I realized I'd never really looked at a Freeper flame war. It's kind of hilarious: catfish1957 starts with a shot across the bow:
F off newbie, with the rest of your liberal friends.
ohioman cites the Freeper's much smaller nemesis, DU:
Why don’t you take your liberal trype to DU. They’ll love you for it there.
ROCKLOBSTER sets some people straight about Yankees:
Some of the folks from here are insulted by the term Yankee, that's for liberal city folks from Boston and New York. The hardcore northern coastal types call themselves Downeastahs.
jmacusa returns fire!!
Right back at you a-hole. Liberal? Hah! You’re the liberal stupid. Coming to a conservative web-site venerating a bunch a Dixiecrats. Boy, irony is sure lost on you.
catfish1957 makes his 'newbie' charge clear/
Liberal Troll..... I have been here extolling conservative causes over over a 11 years. You less than 2. Take your liberal, reading comprehensive limited ass back to du where it belongs. I bet you are from the NE. Lot of RINO pseudo-conservatives there. Mittens your hero?
Wow, so much to unpack. People who disagree are trolls, 'extolling conservative causes' meaning membership in Free Republic, citing DU, and then damning people with being from the Noetheast, as is no conservatives could possibly live there: jmacusa accidentally leaves himself open by not mentioning Reagan:
My hero is Duncan Hunter. And Sarah Palin. And yes I’m from the Northeast. So what? You think we’re all liberals here, is that it? You’ve got a lot to learn boy.
catfish1957 takes advantage:
Sonny, my hero is Ronald Reagan. I figured you were a kid. You think we're all liberals here? uh..... yes., or pseudo conservatives.
So no non-Southerner can be a 'true conservative.' Plus, I like the constant invocations of seniority almost as much as I like the constant liberal accusations.

  1. Alas, the Civil War threads are but a pale shadow of what they used to be, epic 1500+ post affairs. But then the Neo-Confederates managed to get most of the Unionist stalwarts banned, with the cooperation of mods who would let identical offenses by the southerners pass.
