What's the point?
I have to wonder.... why would anyone come here and lie and claim to be a former freeper? What do they gain?

I just dont get it.

One of the last things I would do is go to Free Republic and pretend to be a Repuke.

:shrug:

1. So they can learn our top secret hand shake. But the screening process
gets them before they are issued.

I would never pretend to be a Freeper. It would make me vomit.

16. no
it's usually the other way around.......the repukes stick the middle finger up...we flash the peace sign.

The freeptards have a leader........he likes to use his middle finger a lot too. Haven't you seen the pictures?

5. Does it matter?
I think it's fun reading about the realizations some people have about being a Freeper - I haven't yet been able to determine if any were lying, but so what if they are? Say something good, you get praise, turn back into a Freeper - bet banned for life. I kinda like the stories either way...

8. Stinky Bushes
He had quite a few posts here.

Claimed he was a reformed freeper.

Actually we have had a few posts from people alleging they are former Repukes.

9. I'm a former Libertarian...
So it *does* happen.

I'm not surprised he turned out to be a "mole" though.

I wonder if he'll claim credit on one of the RW boards tomorrow to the praise and adulation of the other freeptards???

12. Because they create their own reality. When reality clashes with
their reality they lie, lie and lie to the point of absurdity. My father is like this, it is really draining, you feel like you are going insane because the reality they've created exists only in their minds.

They lie so much they convince themselves it's true, they actually believe it as a fact.

14. I didn't see the thread either
The original stinky thread was locked and the outing did not occur there.
Stinky can now go back and get kudos and dittos from his freaky stinky friends. Oh what fun! :rofl:
