Why do all the freeper rallies congregate at DU?

[jamboi]

Just wondering I thought they'd have a better time over at Free Repub. Guess I was just losing my mind there for a minute.

[medeak]

have you ever been to Free place?

tried it and was bored to hell.. can see why they hang out here.

[jamboi]

2. Glanced at it. Looks boring. n/t

[Not_Without_A_Fight]

6. Cool --- If they are bored, let's befriend them and teach them party 101

Then we can take them to the polls in 2006 properly educated.

You gotta take pity on them. Think about what life is going to be like in the next 4 years having to pretend your are a fundie.

Makes me want to :beer:

:party: on dudes

1. It makes them feel like they're doing something.

While their nation goes to hell.

[jamboi]

5. I'm spreadin freedom, like peanut butter to the DUmmies! n/t

[alittlelark]

3. This is a trying time. They are everywhere

FR is NOT a fun place. It is scary (perhaps even to many posters there).

[Sideways]

4. Because We Smell Better And We Are Cuter

They are ALL each and every last fucking one of them JEALOUS. EOM

[DulceDecorum]

7. They like DU, they really really like DU

How can it be permissible
She compromise my principle, yeah yeah
That kind of love is mythical
She's anything but typical

She's a craze you'd endorse, she's a powerful force
You're obliged to conform when there's no other course
She used to look good to me, but now I find her
Simply irresistible, Simply irresistible

Her loving is so powerful, huh
It's simply unavoidable
The trend is irreversible
The woman is invincible

She's a natural law, and she leaves me in awe
She deserves the applause, I surrender because
She used to look good to me, but now I find her
Simply irresistible, Simply irresistible

Y'all come back now.
:hi:

8. Freak Republic is an awful place,

but you should check in occassionally to see what the enemy is up to.

[saracat]

9. Good one. Giggle. Because they really are sorry they

voted for * !:spank: Bad bad Freepers.

[tommcintyre]

10. I think many are called in by the "pros" here

Big example here:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=203&topic_id=108750#114729

Another a few days ago:
I was posting on a lot of threads warning how if we don't deal with this now, we won't get the publicity for needed election reform by 2006 when it is mandated 100% Evoting with no paper trail likewise mandated.

"Coincidentally" a thread appeared with low numbered posters having a conversation with each other about how lucky we all were that a paper trail would be in place by 2006!

So my point is, not only are they here, they are paid, they are "deep" and they are coordinated.

But, fortunately, they are not the "A string", so they are not very good at it generally. As you can see in the link above, even a deep "ringleader" makes incredibly stupid mistakes (ck out the #11 and #12 exchange I refer to).

[Wonk]

14. Huh? Did you post the wrong link by mistake?

Thanks for making me load the entire 700+ post thread, btw.

[tommcintyre]

17. Did you read the #11 and #12 exchange there?

Also, what I wrote in that entire post is all about a deep and coordinated troll effort here. I hope you aren't on a slow connection, and actually read it after all your trouble. ;~}

[Wonk]

19. #11 & #12 are both replies to the original post in that thread.

Thanks tons for wasting DU's bandwidth tonight. Here's the short version.

11. Earl, we haven't "met" on the boards...

but I just want to commend you for trying to remain objective, and for handling whatever has transpired (obviously a lot of it long before I got here) in a professional way.

Keep up the great work.

12. Thank you very much.

Edited on Fri Dec-03-04 01:38 PM by Melinda

As one who spent hundreds of hours doing legal research for BBV during the years 2002 and 2003, I too am appalled by the events over the course of the last 18 months.

Many of us feel very used. More important, many of us are hurt and angered that this issue has been reduced to ego.

Thank you for this.

[tommcintyre]

21. Very rude wonk, considering you can't follow instructions

"Thanks tons for wasting DU's bandwidth tonight."
Thanks Wonk for wasting that, AND my time!

Here's part of the PM I just sent Wonk. <FYI: I posted a link to a previous post of mine (not the whole thread) because the info was appropriate for this thread, but, I didn't feel it appropriate to post the actual text here again.>

-------------------------------------------------------------
Please don't click on the link again. Obviously, you don't have the patience to let it load completely. And possibly you have a problem following instructions? No one else complained, did they?

And talk about wasting bandwidth, I had to check my link twice because of your totally unecessary complaints; and now I'm wasting time having to explain to you what should not need explaining!

So here, just for you, I'm pasting the post below. Your going to have to ACTUALLY READ IT to see the reference to #11 and "12. Oh fuck! I'll just cut and paste it right below first, AND then the complete message after that. (I hope it doesn't confuse you to much!)

16. They Love The Art Of Posturbation

Posturing on this Posturing on that.....unfortunately they aren't very good at it.....they just can't rub my wit the right way..:evilgrin:

[Old and In the Way]

11. Odd why they'd be pre-occupied with us losers here.

They are, afterall, the big "winners"! Whadda bunch of chumps.


BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[jamboi]

13. big "L"s on our forheads. Looooosers. That's us. Democracy so boring.

[tommcintyre]

15. They get scared if it looks like we are actually going to "do something".

I recently read this somewhere"

Gee, for awhile you guys <progressives> actually had us <GOP hijackers> worried. We thought you were actually going to DO something.

I guess there's two messages in that.
1) They are watching us.
2) I wish more progressives were more active like during the pre-Iraq War time (or like the Ukraine now). It seems like a lot of progressives are just watching, waiting around for something to happen.

Maybe what needs to happen is we act en mass, before its too late.

12. Kinda like how they gathered in Florida after Nov 2000....

except this time it's in cyberspace..remember how shrub loaded up planes of the brown shirts and flew them down there..now they get to do their crap here since this is where the scandal is surfacing <on the Net>. They'll get bored soon..no cameras for them to jump in front of here on the Net and they are way outnumbered, don't ya think? Between DUers and all the other bloggers who have seen the scandal unfolding over the past week or so...Imagine them on Wednesday morning. I work the night shift the next 3 nights but I may have to put toothpicks in my eyelids come Wednesday morning just to watch them freak out on the Net and then to watch whatever happens on the C-Span coverage...Better stock up on the Diet Coke for Wednesday!

18. Pentagon Uses Psy-Ops in the United States Media - Los Angeles Times

Ya think if its good 'nuff for the media, its good 'nuff for us? Except I'm sure we don't get the "A team" here, and probabably a different "team" than the pentagon.

The Los Angeles Times uncovered how the military sent spokespersons to major news networks to deliberately lie about military operations in Iraq in an effort to deceive the Iraqi resistance.

20. Free Republic Uses Psy-Ops in the Democratic Underground - JBT

[malatesta1137]

22. Freepers are the lowest forms of life

and they smell too. I see Rush Limbaugh, ugly on the outside, uglier on the inside, and I think of what creepers must look like.

on edit: I hope you scums are reading this too.

[colonel odis]

23. we should be flattered to have such intelligent, interesting

cool people posting on our site. i guess one site just can't contain all the wisdom they have to offer.

seriously, freepers are what happens when your lunch money is stolen and you're stuffed in a locker for 12 years. you want soooo badly to belong to something that's gonna teach all the cool kids a lesson. you ache for geek power to rule.

in that respect, i sort of feel sorry for them. i imagine most of them come from pretty dysfunctional homes with odd authority dynamics.

and as much as you can excuse their lack of taste and intelligence, you really can't overlook their lack of manners. that, after all, is a learned convention.

the best thing to do with freepers is teach them a lesson, and all that implies.

[Carolab]

24. They're secretly looking for the truth

just won't admit it

[sportndandy]

25. They suffer from penis envy.

They have also had too much of envious pricks.

[tngledwebb]

26. DU is the most readable and important forum site.

Gets two types of freeper, amateurs and pros.

The pros are most dangerous, work f/t, must be getting well paid by BushCo, and are presently infesting this forum to quash debate on vote fraud '04. But for the past three years they have been just as busy down below on the 9/11 forum, now in archived/leftover section. Take a look. See the same style, even the same posters. Their MO is no 'conspiracy theories' have any basis in fact. This includes 9/11 issues, voter fraud 2000, JFK, etc- there are absolutely no CT's these types will credit. Makes one wonder.

[SueZhope]

27. they cant sleep at night and

they have" reality based" envy. They are also looking to feel better about themselves
the way bully's do by putting others down and starting trouble.

Although they consider themselves on a higher moral ground, deep down they realize that something is desperately wrong, so instead of doing good and helping others .They come here to mess with others heads.

If they truly new bush WON fair & square and is the guy they dream of him to be they would be at peace and not bother to come to DU.

Its very sad when you think about it.

[txindy]

28. If it's true that some are getting paid to spread nonsense

then I suppose they're trying to get as many paychecks as they can before their employers go on trial. :evilgrin:

The ones who aren't getting paid are just lame and really, really need to move out of their mothers' basements and get lives. Be all that you can be, fellas!

[FranzFerdinand]

29. is this all you do? accuse people of being a freeper?

how do we know they you aren't a freeper? huh, freeper? show some credentials retaah...

[pixelthief]

30. DU getting high profile

W/ Madsen thanking DU in his column and on the radio I'm not suprised they're showing up more frequently. I take some comfort in the fact that they are threatened by us.
