Free Republic is in full meltdown mode.

[Johnny Rico]

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2877089/posts

Posters being banned left and right, long-time posters asking for their accounts to be deleted...it's schadenfreude time!

The DUmmies, Morons, Kos Kiddies and that crew are laughing up their sleeves. Jim may have to make this site members only or allow ads.
-----------------
A LOT of people aren’t welcomed here any more. That hurts donations significantly.
-----------------
That's the fact of it...many long-time freepers do not feel "free" to discuss. I believe that the pendulum will swing back but in the mean-time FR will lose good people.
-----------------
You’re kidding, right? Ask all the people who have been run off over a simple difference of opinion if free discussion takes place here.
-----------------
This is the first thread where people have finally spoken up. I'm sure it will lead to another mass purge.
-----------------
Freepers, be on alert. Your freepmail is not private here.
-----------------
Jim (and others) continue to insult fellow conservative just because we now support the Republican nominee and he wonders why this freeperthon is going poor.
-----------------
I request to be immediately unsubscribed from Free Republic (or “zotted” or whatever you want to call it). Goodbye, Free Republic. It was nice to know you while it lasted.
-----------------
bye
-----------------
I used to be a dollar a day donor....no more
-----------------
Jim, your resistance is falling apart due to desertions and summary executions. And you have nobody to blame but yourself. Why anyone of even moderate intelligence would want to be a part of this anymore is beyond me. I do not. Please disable my account.

[Liberal_in_LA]

1. what caused this?

[toddwv]

3. The Freeber site owner doesn't like Romney.

And as is usual for the extreme right-wing, he REALLY doesn't like people who disagree with him...

Lol.

It is an excellent representation of the right-wing if you ask me. Anyone "left" of you is your enemy and a damned "librul".

[lpbk2713]

4. RimJob is a Flip-Flopper.

[Hubert Flottz]

65. I think he might be a flap flipper too!

Don't have a picture of one.

I love it when the freepers gnash and moan.

[Kaleva]

6. Jim-Rob didn't want FR to support Romney

[Posteritatis]

50. Who does he want them to back at this point? (nt)

[Kaleva]

57. No one I guess.

Other then what I read here about FR, I don't go there to follow what's going on.

[Posteritatis]

59. Huh. I can get behind a mass Republican abstention in the fall, I guess. (nt)

[Sea-Dog]

199. visit and its full of rommy ads

[SCantiGOP]

8. owner won't support Romney

Someone linked to his post. The funny thing was, in between seeing people agree/disagree with his position, every 5th or 6th post would be someone waving their arms and yelling, "Wait! Have you forgotten that Ron Paul is still running? He can win! Can you hear me?"

[HiPointDem]

18. lol. interesting that both republican and democratic candidates have serious ties to the

finance sector.

[SCantiGOP]

30. HiPoint:

I think you could condense your comment to the fact that our elected officials all have serious ties to the finance sector.
As Mussolini accurately noted:
"The first stage of fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of State and corporate power."
And that is

[HiPointDem]

40. Except that it's not quite the case; politicians' sources of support vary. Some get most

of their support from e.g. the corporate sector or specific sectors within it (e.g. pharma, ag). Some (like John Edwards) get big chunks of their funding from specific lobbies (e.g. trial lawyers, doctors, teachers).

Not saying there are politicians untouched by finance; just saying that some are more touched than others.

[aquart]

183. Right. We should get football coaches to run. Oh wait.

How about ministers? Uh...

Chefs?

Physicists?

Used car salesmen?

Butchers?

Bakers?

Candlestick makers?

[Rittermeister]

208. How about some social scientists?

What a novel idea.

[Recursion]

11. Basically a metric ton of Freepers got zotted (their version of tombstoning) for supporting Romney

And not even for saying "I think this guy would be a great President" or "I agree with him on X, Y, and Z" but for, you know, pointing out that Romney is their only chance of unseating Obama.

[CreekDog]

21. and i think a lot of them ended up here --recently

[Hoyt]

47. Good observation.

[freshwest]

148. Most of them, from what I can tell. More refugees daily. They sure can make some threads suck.

[Richardo]

39. Only four of them?

[LynneSin]

23. RimJob is a douchebag

any questions?

[CreekDog]

35. They implemented spell check

[pinboy3niner]

38. *SNORT*

[jobycom]

63. Ha!

[rocktivity]

71. DUzy candidate!

rocktivity

[lonestarnot]

137. But not adverb/grammar check. "...this freeperthon is going poor."

[Kennah]

144. Absolutely correct. Should read "this freeperthon is going broke."

[markpkessinger]

81. It is sort of a microcosm of what is happening to the wider GOP, is it not? n/t

[sadbear]

2. Obama Derangement Syndrome

strikes again!!!

[Doc Holliday]

43. After reading three pages

of those comments, I don't believe that any derangement syndrome is necessary. Dem folks is just plain doofy! I got a mental picture of a lot of folks sitting around, fingers flipping their lips and going "Wubba-wubba."



Much talk of "standing on principles".... but the principles being stood upon are indicative of brains that have been subjected to too much FOX News and too many paint chip sandwiches over the years.



I did find it rather amusing that the ninnies who post (and in some cases apparently live) there are not pleased with the owner's policy vis-a-vis Mittens, as well as the reaction to it. Ah, well, the Almighty Free Market hath spoken! Suck it up, morans.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

5. I hope enough remain so we can continue goofing on them

At least the lefties in disguise should remain. The ones who egg on the nuts and get them to bring out their true inner psychopath for entertainment value.

[liberalhistorian]

113. I tried to mole there about nine years ago,

I made it all of three days before I couldn't take the craziness anymore and outed myself. It was actually kinda fun, since they didn't "zot" me right away but I was able to argue and discuss with some of them for a bit, which was interesting. Don't think I changed any minds, though.

[Rowdyboy]

150. I signed up back in 2002, around the time I found DU, but I could never bring myself to post....

I tried, but I just couldn't do it. Its like voting in a Republican primary-it justmakes me feel too nasty to seriously consider.

[freshwest]

151. The lefties there are made of tough stuff. Just a brief look at the site is nauseating.

[byronius]

7. Someday I'd like to buy the website address.

And direct it to the Democratic Underground.

[Rex]

9. Looks like General RimJobs mercenary army

is packing up and moving on to another warzone!

[peace frog]

56. Onward, teabag soldiers!

Be sure to drop us a line! BUH BYE.

[Rex]

60. Hehe.

[applegrove]

154. LOL!

[hifiguy]

10. Looks like the circular firing squad is

blazing away for all it's worth over in Fweeperland. They'll run out of ammo or targets eventually.

[MineralMan]

12. Dictatorships fail of their own weight.

The narrower the dictator's views, the fewer followers.

[The Wielding Truth]

37. Yep.We have DU and it's about democracy. That's why it works. Why don't they get it?

[K8-EEE]

13. JR has been on a "cultural revolution" banning people for stuff like supporting Mitt

Basically he has laid down the law that nobody can support either Presidential candidate without getting banned.....and he is EXTREMELY rude and vibey about it (calling them "homosexualists" and other FR nonsense words.) Lots of people banned or pissed off and left from all of this, then they wonder why no $$ is coming in.

[AlbertCat]

48. "homosexualists"

HAHAHAHAHAHA....

Is that a person who believes that homosexuals created the universe and are omnipotent?

[dbackjon]

115. Well, God is not married

Had a kid, but no sex was involved.

Created a man to hang out with.



Pretty obvious God is gay.

[AlbertCat]

192. Pretty obvious God is gay.

He is pretty artsy-fartsy... all that creating...

[Not Libby]

69. Freepers fleeing to TrueBlueLiberty

Lots of Freepers are fleeing to TrueBlueLiberty.com which actually welcomes debate with liberals.

[cyberswede]

72. Are you a liberal?

Your username makes me wonder?

[Not Libby]

76. I'm a liberal sort of

I'm certainly not limited to or by established, traditional, orthodox, or authoritarian attitudes, views, or dogmas; and I'm free from bigotry.

Or at least try to be

[tkmorris]

78. Welcome to DU!

[Not Libby]

84. Thanks

Thanks

[nobodyspecial]

80. Meaning you are a libertarian and are probably still rooting for Ron Paul

Do I get a cookie?

[Not Libby]

87. No cookie

The sites Democratic Underground and I gotta respect that but the definition I gave was an honest one and it was right from the dictionary next to the word "liberal".

I'm pretty certain I'm voting for Romney.

Does that mean I'm getting "zotted"?

No grudges if so.

And no sneakiness on my part.

[DainBramaged]

91. Voting for Romney is like insane, he's dumber than Bush

But we never knew many smart Republicans except the puppet masters who pull the strings of the masses.

[CJCRANE]

97. To be fair to the guy...

he's provided us with some interesting inside information. He's obviously an ex-freeper so unlikely to suddenly want to vote for Obama. At least he's being honest.

[Not Libby]

102. Good point about the puppet masters

Good point about the puppet masters but why do you think they limit themselves to the GOP?

Tim Geithner started off with what firm (OK Kissinger Associates) was appointed President of the New York Federal Reserve Bnak by what president (hint you hate him), and was named Secretary of Treasury by whom (hint you love him)?

[CJCRANE]

105. DUers complain about some of Obama's appointments too

and the continuation of some Bush policies (which you'll notice if you read around on DU), but you've got to look at the facts and the bigger picture.

A return to Bush Era economic policies won't help anyone except the 1%.

[Old and In the Way]

109. You sound very reasonable.

Hope you stick around so you can engage in our conversation here. You can't be promoting Romney here for obvious reasons, but you can discuss issues that effect all of us. Here's the thing. Maybe 40 years ago, Republicans had a broad representation of different political views. Legislation in Congress got passed by coalitions of like minded Republicans and Democrats. Today's Republican Party is sick - it's sort of like FR...it allows only a conservative dogmatic fidelity and it's got no ideas or vision to deal with the structural issues facing this country. All they want to do is either obstruct the Democratic agenda or. worse, implement a psuedo-religious agenda that caters to the very well off while creating social conflicts in our society. Please focus on what's happening in Michigan and understand that the Republican endgame is to create the same 1 Party rule for the rest of this country.

[dixiegrrrrl]

120. ahem....( tap on shoulder)....

You are now talking to a ghost.

[DainBramaged]

116. (sigh) I LOATHED Booshe, and to assume I love President Obama is foolish on your part

meh

[eridani]

167. Not a chance

Rmoney has not fried a bunch of neurons with booze and coke. Both are sociopaths, but Rmoney is far oilier and way more out of touch. Shrubbie could fake sincerity, and the Mittster just can't.

[eridani]

211. Not really. As an amoral sociopath, he made way more money than Bush

--by a long shot. Bush failed at every business he tried. No brain damage from drugs or alcohol either. What Bush was good at that Romney can't even get close to is faking sincerity.

[hifiguy]

107. Tombstoned already.

[relayerbob]

134. Seriously?

And people here are laughing at Freepers for lack of freedom of speech? Frankly, I think that sucks.\, and I'm not republican. Dems are supposed to supposed to be above that.

[Renew Deal]

139. DU is for Democrats

It's nothing personal with the departed member. DU is for Dems and those that support Democratic causes. A Romney voter doesn't meet the criteria.

[relayerbob]

182. I think that's kinda my point

But one less opportunity to try to convert a Romney supporter is fine, I guess. Very liberal.

[Warren DeMontague]

207. Robble Robble Robble

thanks for your concern. Really, this place has functioned just fine for a while, now, without allowing "well meaning" Republicans to come in and endlessly spout their bullshit.

There are plenty of places around the internet where those of us with unlimited amounts of free time and unlimited amounts of patience for...

anti-choice rhetoric/incoherent anti tax blather/glassy-eyed Fundy creationism/homophobia/racism/xenophobia/dumbass quotes from Rush Limbaugh and/or Ted Nugent

...can try to "convert" some asinine GOP toadstool.

[Warren DeMontague]

205. Mayhaps you missed the part about "Democratic" Underground.

"I'm voting for Romney" is what the dude said.

If you don't get why he's no longer allowed to post here, you may not understand the rules and function of this place.

Congrats on getting out of freeperville.

[AlbertCat]

194. I'm pretty certain I'm voting for Romney.

What on Earth for? So we can have more of the failed GOP policies that have not been working for decades?

[Ruby the Liberal]

95. If you are voting for Rmoney, I would LOVE

to hear what your definition of "liberal" is seeing as how you have apparently co-opted it for your own use.

[UnrepentantLiberal]

98. I doubt they'll be around long enough to explain.

[pinboy3niner]

108. Close enough. You get the cookie.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=profile&uid=283980&sub=trans

[cyberswede]

101. Well, because

Republicans prefer established, traditional, orthodox, or authoritarian attitudes, views, or dogmas, and are and unfree from bigotry (for reference, read the Republican Party Platform).

So, if you vote for one, you're agreeing with that.

[CJCRANE]

103. You'll find some answers to that

all over DU.

You could go to the Greatest Threads tab and have a look at some of he discussions there.

We won't change your mind overnight, if at all, but it might be interesting.

Besides that, there are lots of other interesting forums on non-political topics, if you need a break from partisan politics.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

112. Welcome to DU, Not Libby

[happerbolic]

191. i'd have no doubt that an infection rate...

...on a site like this is very possible, even if it was just scrubbed clean the day before, repug e-traffic always seem to be big magnets for some of the more nastier (fresh) one's that come available these days.

I don't think my microsoft security essentials have a direct tie-in to my browser like your AVG (But 'does' have an active system monitor - which seems to to it's job) and it is good you're not taking any chances. Most of all the infected systems i have encountered are from owners who's online habits could be described as.... questionable, or for the rest, people that barely have any business being behind a keyboard....lol, bless their hearts!

i know... microsoft... ha!
thing is, microsoft has a vested interest in handing out for free a well functioning threat scanner, since half of the threats out there are used to bring down microsoft servers, or are trojans that attract other outside bugs that do the same. so it benefits them to give out a free product. a little leary about the motivations of other 'freebie-antimalware' out there. i mean, what future incentive does an outfit like that have?? out of the goodness of their hearts??

[Amonester]

195. I just got back in. First thing I did this morning was a complete scan...

Although, I understand it's not 100% safe, of course these freebees may be tweaked in order to force sells, I know that.

169. McAffe blocked a link, too. Might be false alarm, but that forum isn't worth the risk.

If that site "actually welcomes debate with liberals" I thought maybe I'd give it a try, but I couldn't find any thread really worth the effort.

[happerbolic]

190. ...on similar topic...

...seems like 90% of the time a computer at my last place of work had been completely crippled by a crafty bug, it was on one of those bagger-types that love chatting 'Obama-Hate' stuff around all day to others outside. Even occured more often to them than porn-hounds -

Maybe Jimbo will restrict public viewing and only allow the confirmed inmates in the asylum, but that would be a shame.

If Jimbo decides to support Romney to maintain his cash flow, viewing the mental gymnastics would be instructive.

Freeperville and DU are fun, but they are also businesses. And you can't have a business if you pull the "get off my lawn" routine to anyone who doesn't act 100% perfectly in your narrow view.

I'm not surprised they're struggling. I say let it fail. It is a hate site.

Hilarious.

It was absurd enough to say that about Obama... but ROMNEY???

I'm amazed that these fools can even log onto the internet.

"Romney the socialist!"

[provis99]

146. several freeps have posted elsewhere that Gingrich was a socialist.

And one from a thread I remember called Gingrich a Marxist.

176. They use "socialist" as a more pretentious version of "poopyhead"

There's no actual relation to political philosophy, other that it being leftward of whatever they consider the right position.

[Not Me]

46. This is harbinger of the election

We were discussing this at work the other day.

Obama can count on his 2008 supporters to vote for him in 2012.

75. Yeah, they've gotten to extreme and paranoid that they're now eating their own.

It's all about Sarah Palin, Ron Paul, any extremist. An opinion about acceptance of any position that the extremists subscribed to has become unacceptable, it seems. I think hte posters themselves can ban anyone.

Which would mean that there's really no "there" there anymore and all the posts are just JR muttering to himself -- and his family figures it's easier to just let him amuse himself than to chase him around all day, keeping him away from sharp objects and small woodland creatures.

[happerbolic]

197. Gave me Mocha Nose...

...with that one BoF!

[Daniel537]

82. Best part is, it'll get worse before it gets better

Chairman Mao would be proud.

[Fresh_Start]

85. I like the O Romney poster

on Free Republic...it should help deter a lot of GOP votes if it gets around

[AsahinaKimi]

88. So, how long before his ship sinks?

Sounds like they are treading water already.

[DainBramaged]

89. Freepers? Fuck 'em, scum of the Earth. All you have to do is remember how the death of Teddy

was treated by them and you have (drum roll)


scum of the Earth.

[Orsino]

90. They got even this wrong.

We're not laughing up our sleeves at them.

[sabrina 1]

92. What about the Revolution? Wasn't he planning on leading a Revolution just a few months

ago?

I guess he can always go back to what he was doing before he started FR. Didn't he run Porn Sites? I know I read that somwhere a long time ago.

[Blue Owl]

100. The Freepshow Matinee

n/t

[tanyev]

104. Mmmm. Schadenfreudelicious.

[rdking647]

110. what a bunch of morons

im surprised any of those morons can figure out how to use the internet.

[bluestate10]

111. Do they need guns and blindfolds, for them? I will gladly donate to a fund to provide

the tools that will clean up Freeperland and drastically improve america.

[liberalhistorian]

114. I understand that "DUmmies" means us here at DU and Kos Kiddies

are those at Daily Kos, but who are they referring to as "Morons?" Or is that just a general observation on their part? Absolutely amazing that they spelled "moron" correctly, lol!

[cyglet]

128. I'd guess

People from MoveOn?

[liberalhistorian]

145. Ah, good guess!

Hadn't thought of that, that very well could be it.

[sarcasmo]

118. Rimjob has been licked.

[loyalkydem]

119. If this ENTIRE thread does not get a DUzty

along with all the responses in this thread. I"m going to sue. This has been a trip and most importantly, the best thread I've read on DU in a long time. bravo.

[kickysnana]

121. Since the GOP system is totaly rigged Iknew Romney was the choice during the Utah Olympics.

That was to get America comfortable with Mormons.

[TNLib]

123. I kind of wonder if this is a bad sign for Romney. If the freepers won't support him then who will?

I know it as everything to do with religion and not politics.

[McCamy Taylor]

131. He may end up carrying only Utah and Nevada.

How many non-Mormons that you know have a favorable opinion of Mormons? How many people have no opinion of Mormons? How many people have been woken up by two men in white shirts and ties who just did not know the meaning of the word no?

[progressoid]

125. Awww

[varelse]

126. No shame in dancing

on this particular grave.

He just can't be saved from himself, can he?

[2on2u]

130. Since they initiated TSA type cavity searches there have

been mass beachings in freeperville. Sea Shepherd is not expected to come to their aid. Social security office wants nothing to do with them, greeters at Walmart don't see them, concubines could care less, Peta approves of the beachings, many of their boats have been turned around at the DU shore, DU immigration officers are no doubt at the top of their game. Your mileage may vary, tax tag and title not included.

[relayerbob]

132. "Why anyone of even moderate intelligence would want to be a part of this anymore is beyond me."

That's always been my sentiment about that place.

[JHB]

179. That's the thing...if you're over there...

...you've pretty much exempted yourself from the "even moderate intelligence" category.

[NICO9000]

133. I just wandered over there for a minute

Haven't seen it in at least a decade. It sure is one butt-ugly site (and not just the posts!). Looks like the design hasn't changed since around 1995.

Why is there a banner ad on the right-hand side of the home page for the Kerry Swiftboat book though? That thing has been remaindered since about a month after the 2004 election!

[lonestarnot]

136. Bwwwa ha ha ha ahaha hha "...this freeperthon is going poor."

Doesn't he mean poorly?

[JBoy]

141. I didn't have dessert after dinner. This will suffice.

Sweet....

[ThoughtCriminal]

147. Every time a Freep get Zotted

A Demon gets it's tail.

[Jack Rabbit]

149. !!

May this be a omen to things to come for the GOP in November.

[cstanleytech]

163. I took a look at the site once and it made me want to go out and try to talk to a piece of dogshit

because frankly it was pretty clear atleast the dogshit could be counted on to actually listen plus it probably has a few dozen more IQ points more than most of the posters there.

[bluesbassman]

164. Free Republic: Last one out, flush the toilet.

[BlueIris]

165. Good riddance.

[Oromneya]

170. I must be missing something

My observations
People seem rather excited about what is going on at FR which is fine I guess but people need to take a look in the mirror first.

Both DU and FR are highly partisan sites
Both Site Owners have strict rules on what can and cannot be posted.
Both sites have factions within the sites that support each other too.
Both site ban posters who do not conform.

In reality there is not much difference between the two sites but if it makes one feel good mocking them, go for it...but it won't change anything nor get people jobs or medical care or a home but hey you will feel so much better mocking them!

[Oromneya]

173. It is not polite to accuse others

with no proof.

If you think I am a freepr that is your right but you would be very wrong.

[Suji to Seoul]

174. Oromneya is the only proof I need!

You combined the two names to make it look like your boy, winner of the clown car competition, is the same as our boy, the President.

Again, Free Republic is that way. ------------------------->

[Oromneya]

175. Please take your accusations elsewhere

I am not going to play your childish games.

[ellisonz]

196. PPR: "Repeat Disruptor"

[leftynyc]

180. You're wrong

If you had been here during the primary wars you would have know it got pretty hot around here. Downright ugly at times. But when it was over, it was over. We came together and supported the Democratic nominee. The freepers are busy tearing eachother to shreds since the primaries started - this is just the culmination of people who are so gosh darned convinced they are right and everybody else in the country is wrong. It's pathetic.

[Oromneya]

181. From my POV

as a long time lurker of DU I have seen purges here too and seen groups of people attack a poster to get them banned.

Unification happened after the purges from my perspective.

Like I said just my POV.

[slackmaster]

172. That happens on Free Republic every election year

It used to be that way on DU, but mass purges seem to be a thing of the past here.

[upi402]

185. thanks

i tried checking it out there but got too depressed for our future to read much of it.

[slackmaster]

198. The format of that board is absolutely horrible. I couldn't follow a thread on it...

...even if I was really interested in doing so.

[Suji to Seoul]

177. Republicans have been doing a circular firing squad for months

Now it's their base's turn!

[tooeyeten]

184. "I used to be a dollar a day donor....no more "

Now that's what I call "flushing money down the toilet."

[customerserviceguy]

187. Too bad

Maybe they'll fold soon, and I was looking forward to seeing exploding heads the day after the election.

[47of74]

188. RimJob's followers might have to actually come out of the basement...

...and interact with the rest of the family if Freeper Land goes away.

[penndragon69]

189. The Rand / Norquist party (formerly known as repulicans)

That rules the reich wingers do not allow ANY dissent or deviation
from the anti-govt. script.

Atlas shrugged, then took a dump.

[Orsino]

201. FR wants Ted Nugent for president.

Instead they get a series of faceless, gutless, wealthy white guys in suits. I understand their disenchantment.

[krispos42]

203. Ha-ha!

[RexDart]

204. Plowed through 2000 posts, because I hate myself.

They're fighting like wombats in a wood chipper, as my grandma would say. I don't know how many users they have, or how many are moderate (as far as it goes there), but if you don't toe the line it's starting to look like the night of the long knives. There's a huge purge going on and a lot of people are jumping or being pushed.

Circling the drain.

[pinboy3niner]

206. + A brazillion just for 'like wombats in a wood chipper'

[Rex]

209. Good job RexDart!

We needed a SITREP! I can't stomach that craphole. Their Video God Rush Limberger took a great fall (yeah just like that other guy), the Teanutballers are destroying what is left of the GOP and General RimJob is losing all his longtime donors to other crapholes like CC.

Oh and RMoney has the personality of a plastic bottle minus the label.

Shit how could this get any better?

[joshcryer]

210. So it's still going on? That's crazy.
