Being a steady poster on Freerepublic.com before being banned for not shutting off half my brain back in 2004 I can attest to the fact that that Freepers were positively certain and excited that Dean would be the nominee.
They were gearing up for a big hate fest on Dean- until Kerry came along and they switched gears without a heartbeat. Kerry was "even worse" than Dean.
Something you see time and again with the reich wingers on the net- the current Dem candidate is ALWAYS the MOST EVIL ONE EVER- far surpassing in vile evil than the last one.
So you will see Freepers say things like this "I hated Kerry but at least he was someone who wouldn't surrender to the Islamofascists like X (fill in the blank) will!"
The current Enemy is always the worst one ever- more uniquely evil than the last enemy. This is true with Dem opponents and with foreign countries and cultures. "Islam" is so evil- so much more evil than the Soviet Union (which is now considered among the reich wing to have been a sane and rational enemy and "Western" enemy that "played by the rules") that all tactics are justified against this "threat"- which is, of course, much worse than the Soviet Union.
By the way. Hillary is not out. She is our next president. It will be "Obama who?" in two months.
