Who posts over at Freerepublic?
I have an account over there. I am on there all the time, writing maniacal things. I just blame the Clintons for everything (no one will suspect you if you just throw in irrelevant anti-Hillary remarks) and laugh because everyone agrees. I am getting addicted to being a covert troll, because I have them fooled.

And I absolutely refuse to look at any of the "Hey! Look what they're saying about X at FR!" threads.

6. I used to
But I almost lost my mind trying to be rational over there. They just don't get the irony that many of their arguments present.

9. Are you on the sites that like all the killing?
I sure hope none of those people are in the health field. Once you are born they wish to start gunning you down, dropping bombs on you, run you over with a tank, or in general kill you off. Scary group.The only thing they seem to like is pre-born children.Maybe they eat those of something!:freak:

10. That kind of dishonesty feels un-comfortable for me
I know that some here view doing such a thing as part of the battle. But the idea of posting phony messages on a message board is something that would bother me and seem counter-productive to my personal goals.

I don't mind that others go there--I just wish they did not post so many links and reports on what the Freepers are saying. Some nights I log-off DU when I see that the first 2 threads will be links to Fox News, the next 2 will be a report on "Guess what Rush Said," then a link to a News-max story.

I now go elsewhere then DU to get journalism with a leftist slant. But when I want to read about Rush, O'Rielly, or FreakRepublic DU is the site to visit.

I guess I would make an awful undercover cop or psy-op worker.

12. Exactly. There are probably only a couple 100 real dedicated freepers
the rest are the spectators who gather to watch the "train wreck." Don't give their site the hits and they will just wither away.
