Wouldn't Operation Ultimate Freep just be an epic waste of time?
Edited on Thu Mar-25-04 06:36 PM by Screaming Lord Byron
As I'm sure you are all aware, O.U.F. is a plan they have over in Freeperton to have people register at DU, post innocuously for months and then all unmask in a giant unmasking thread on election night, when Resident George wins his great landslide. What exactly would the point of this be? To do it, you would have to make reasonable points in order to establish a reputation (otherwise no one would give a shit when you unmask) and to avoid banning. So you would have to essentially act like a reasonable person for months, purely to enjoy those fleeting seconds of 'glory' before the big foot drops from the roof, and it's off to Tombstoneland. Therefore, O.U.F. is really a good way to socialize Freepers into making reasonable comments and being civil.
How would this hurt us?

Maybe a DUer went over to Freepburg with this idea, launched it, claiming it would 'paralyse' DU, and now, at this very minute, O.U.F. Freepers are getting the best possible education in being a rational human being. Wouldn't that be deep, deep irony?

We have to encourage Operation Ultimate Freep!

2. I'll bet a bunch of them will forget to vote.
Because they'll all be trolling over here.

15. Isn't that what we want?
Think about it. Without his freeper base, shrub won't even have enough votes to steal the election and get away with it.

Edited on Thu Mar-25-04 06:39 PM by Screaming Lord Byron
Can you remind me what the whole Hitlery thing is about? Why is it I'm supposed to like lots of guns? What's with Ann Coulter? She looks kinda manly to me.

9. I don't think they'd be able to pull it off
Having to behave like a rational, compassionate human being would just get under their skin so badly that they wouldn't last more than a week, if that long.

21. If you suspect, draw 'em out. Hillary, guns, your secret "desire to
have wild SM sex with Ann Coulter," the merits of Hannity vs. Rush, etc.

It really shouldn't be too hard. I think one was 'stoned yesterday, and it really wasn't difficult.

26. Yeah, I noticed that. A particularly nasty post yesterday
concerning Condi Rice--a level I wouldn't even sink to regarding her.

If that's the best they can do, they haven't got a chance.

On the bright side, I don't think that's a subject any of us want to revisit anytime soon. I hope.

11. Hmmm, maybe there's a Nostradamus prophecy about it.
In the eleventh month of the fourth of the second
The Raven will dip it's beak in blood
Fools and lunatics dancing all will poorly
attempt to disrupt a liberal website.

If the freepers have nothing better to do with their so-called "lives" than become undercover DUers, then they're an even bigger group of pathetic losers than I imagined!

16. Here's their thread on the subject. Hilarious.
To: PaulJ
How many DUmmies?
In their wildest dreams...30,000+
In their more honest moments 3,000
In truth about half that I'd and that includes at least three dozen freepers in disguise. The secret is to hang out in the lounge and act like a horny 15yr old until you get a couple hundred posts and a few friends. Then you can hit the regular forums and tweak here and there. Right now most of us are pumping up the little general.

If you can photoshop a few Bush insult pics you are a hit right away. You really have to bash Bush to get any street creds with this crew though. If they only knew how many of the old guard are not what we seem.

We are planning a 'coming out' party for election night '04. I can hardly wait until the masks are removed.

And yes DUmmies, i know you are reading this. I wish I could use one of your freaking silly :wave: emoticons.

Don't forget!! Midnight of election night, everyone is going to un-mask. I have a couple new IDs set up for furture use though. I signed on to one of those cheapie ISP's for a couple months and established a new account every week or so. Best dog gone 20 bucks I've spent in a long time.

You have to be careful and clear your cookie file before each attempt and it's not foolproof since their mods can read some sort of number that is unique to each computer but I work in a computer shop and there are always machines I can use for sign up.
I bet they will shut down registrations before the elections so if you are going to set up accounts, don't wait until the last minute!

They sure are sharp over there at FR. They know we haven't got a clue about the horny 15 year olds disguise.

Come on, 'fess up. Who started this? Even if you remain forever anonymous, that post was sheer genius. There is NO WAY a Freeper thought of it.

27. LOL!
"I work in a computer shop, but I don't understand the concept of an IP number. They use some kind of wiley number to track us. It's a conspiracy!"

That's pretty much like saying that you work in a coffee shop and don't know what a coffee bean is. "I don't know, coffee comes from like little grounds or something."

Idiots. Can't wait until they have their "coming out party", the silence will be deafening.

Good luck though, holding your loads until November!

he put this little number in so we could track all gun-owners, home-schoolers, right-to-lifers and anyone who has ever listened to Rush Limbaugh. It's all true!

19. I can't imagine why anyone would do this
I mean, why? What's the point? I don't understand when DUers go to their site. Obviously no one's mind is changing, if they care enough about politics to be posting on either of these two sites. And really, it's kind of funny that they think this action would "bring us to our knees". Really, who would care? If I ever find out that anyone posting here is really a closet Freeper, I don't think I'll lose any sleep over it. Nor do I think I'll lose any sleep when I read what are your sure to be excellent points whenever you do unmask yourselves. I'll grant you that I usually have nothing better to do than waste my time here on DU, but at least I'm wasting my time with like minded people.

Let's see how far they'll go for absolutely no gain whatsoever! O.U.F. (if it even exists) would be the most pointless waste of time ever. I love their deluded self-importance.

22. That's some serious dellusion
But you're correct. It reminds me of that Seinfeld where Jerry and Kramer are convinced that Mom and Pop ran their cobbling business for 30 years so that they could cash in on Jerry's sneakers.

28. Freepers proven they can't get more than 7 to their own events
You've all seen the pictures. Rarely do more than 1 or 2 show up to an event they pound for weeks. The most they've gotten anywhere at once is 7. RimJob has the septic touch. Everything him and his freepers touch turns to feces.

So... since they are incapable of generating any type of enthusiasm about anything in the the real world whatsoever, they are forced to make meaningless futile gestures online.

Edited on Fri Mar-26-04 09:54 AM by RandomKoolzip
Look at us in our smug liberal complacency, and over there they're already sliding into DIRECT ACTION! Truly, they've got a leg up on us.

No wonder republicans keep getting elected.

Freepers have got the brains, the moral high road, the willingness to take action, and above all, HONESTY on their side.

Jah bless you, Jim Robinson! Keep your gunpowder dry and your fridge full of Coors Light! And try not to kill yourself tonight when you polish your guns!

PS. I hear Ann Coulter's got both sets of genitals. (I don't actually mean that, I'm just trying to act like a horny 15 yr. old.)

The fact that they would think us so important to bother with such a pathetic plan tells me we must be doing something right.

See, me I'm going to be busy out there on the streets helping ensure a Kerry/Democratic victory in November.

That's a hell of alot better than faking a progressive mentality just to overwhelm the board on election day. Go ahead freeps and waste your time on our board while we work to get that idiot out of the White House

33. Now, see, that's where operation Ultimate Canadian comes in.
While all you Yanks are off voting, we plan to take this site over and turn it into Hoser Underground, where it's all strong beer, strong Hockey and strong opinions 24/7 (except when Hockey Night In Canada is on).
BWAAHAAHAHAHA!
