Do Freepers routinely threaten to kill people?
Look at this post I just read over at Free Republic:

To: kattracks
Newsmax, bless them, doesn't reach the ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Wash Post crowd. Wash Post treats clarke, not as a dishonest creatin he is, but someone who can cause a debate.

Just look at headline...Clinton took threat serious, Bush did not.

I wouldn't shed a tear if he, Clarke, took a bullet for this crap.

The other day I saw a post stating that the Vietkong should have killed John McCain. That one was deleted when somebody complained, but this recent one about Clarke is sitting in the middle of a long thread.

3. Freepers don't care about security, or stopping terrorism, only ego
they are willing to let 9/11 be the perfect crime, as long as it doesn't make Bush look bad. Bush's image is more important to them than the 3,000 dead, and those dead only have value to them when they are used to shut Dems up.

aren't you freeps tired of always attacking the messenger? Ever tried taking a look at the actual message???

10. Because they lost their manhood in 1865.
so they worship guns as a phallic symbol.

9. That is appalling.
They claim to believe in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

I've visited there exactly twice, and each time I've seen a post by somebody suggesting that somebody they disagree with should be killed!

line no matter what.

5. Yes but they are incapable of carrying out these threats since that would
expose them to danger.

6. One time, a freeper got hold of a DUer's address.
He drove several hours to the DUer's apartment, took a picture, and then posted it on his website with a threatening comment.

23. they got my info one time and posted it on FR
I had joined their site to post in a thread about 'liberal traitors', and posted a pic of myself dressed as Jesus.

Well, at the time I had my 1st and last name in my DU profile, and they found out it was me because I posted on DU about the FR thread. Next thing you know some dumb-ass is posting my name, address, etc, in the FR thread...

the chicken-shit didn't have a damned thing in his profile, and I told him how cowardly it was to post my info like that, then changed my DU profile :)

never had any problems, though

18. Yikes. Well, here's my position on that. If any freeper wants to come to
my house, here's the address: 31240 E. 684 Road, Wagoner, OK 74467.
Bring it on. Our household is comprised of two very committed and proud liberal voters and we have a LOT of firepower, the details of which you will discover if you want to fuck with us. (I know somebody will issue a warning to me..."don't give out your address!!!!!!!!!!")...don't worry, we are perfectly capable of warding off any invasion of small penised morans...

33. If there is a rule here at DU against it, hit the alert. Otherwise,
bugger off. I did it, I'm not worried, ashamed or concerned.
Why would YOU be?

39. Please accept my apologies. I'm grateful for your concern, but it isn't
really necessary! I passed the point of worrying about retribution of wingnuts -years- ago (I'm somewhat an old phart and there's not much the fascist cabal can to to me at this point...which doesn't keep me from tweaking their noodles as suits me)

If I came acrosss as being pissed, well, that's probably because I AM pissed. At the neocon bastards who're trying turn my country into a fascist state. The only dog I personally have in this, not having any children, is the one that can grab the bastards by the throat and render them ...ineffective. Other words would reflect my position more accurately, but I must exercise some restraint, for obvious reasons.

11. Arrgh. I wasn't sure I was allowed to post a link to another site.
The post appears in the middle of a thread on Clarke over there tonight. There aren't very many threads about Clarke. They seem to be spending a lot of time talking about some article in Pravda about finding a door into the past in Antarctica.

I'm not making this up!

12. Here's the link: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1104605/posts
If that doesn't work, simply go to their front page, click on "jump right in" and look at the far-right column of threads. It's something like "Lehman rips Clarke" and its the first thread on the list.

If I am breaking a DU rule, mods, please delete this post. Thank you!

13. there`s a thin line when saying "kill"
"should have killed"-"took a bullet".. i think crossing the line if you state you want to or should. the "storm front"-white power site- was visited by the fbi to find a poster who must have threaten a public official. this is why i find it morally repugnant when people here at du call for the death of any political/religious figure. there is a fine line and it`s best not to get close

19. Oh those nutty freepers!
Why so angry Mr. Freeper? I'd like to give the guy that posted that a big ol' compassionate-conservative style hug. I liked his spelling of cretin too. Isn't creatin some sort of steroid? Maybe that's why he's so angry.

37. LOL...reminds me of that South Park sketch...
...that depicted Jesus with a machine gun. These fundies are incredibly stupid. Even though I don't believe in the historical Jesus, I still can't imagine him packing heat. I don't think I could have imagined him with a gun even when I was a fundy. The whole "Jesus" and "gun-waving" thing seems paradoxical to me.

24. They would have made good communists under Chairman Mao.
Or a party Nazi under Hitler.

They have totally lost touch with the concept that people can hold differing political viewpoints in our society. Personally, I have no problem that they worship Bush and think he is a good Republican. But they are intolerant of others holding a different view. They lose on ideas and their principles have been compromised or negated by the current criminals who pretend they are Republicans, to avoid having their heads explode, reason goes out the door and is replaced with cult worship.

26. If you can stand to go back over there to get it
copy the thread to your hard drive, paste it into an e-mail, and send it to the FBI.

I'm sure that they'd be happy to inform Jim Robinson that it's illegal to allow a threat like the above to remain on his message board or servers...

38. And it [i]does[/i] happen on this board.
I've felt angry enough to say such things and I've probably said too much at times. I feel repentant and only hope that things end well and those responsible for atrocities are brought to justice.

Folks, even though we may be very angry, let's try to stay above wishing death on others. It's just...creepy. That's all.

43. I guarantee if I ever see a post here that suggests killing somebody
I will post something in response!

I've been here for weeks, reading for hours every day, and I have yet to see anything like that.

I visited Free Republic twice, briefly scanned one thread each time, and both times I saw posts advocating death for somebody they disagreed with.

42. Yes, I think it's common.
Saw a thread on George Soros whom they obviously see as a threat because of the possibility of millions of bucks going against shrub. Someone on the thread asking about what kind of security guards he travels with, and implying that shrubco or other interested parties might have an interest in taking him out. They are stupid evil venal little f*ckwads and not worth the time.

like when A$$barn was in intensive care and some were going on and on about how they wouldn't shed a tear if...insert favorite method of death here.

No bullets mentioned though. Believe the favorite method was God striking him dead, or karma coming around to get him...
