BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Freepers really crack me up! :crazy:

1. It's because Jesus told us to. n/t

18. Did you see the post that said

Our president will take him to the woodshed??!!

[life_long_dem]

50. did you see that post that said

To: oldleft
Why bother.

It's being DU'd.. you think anyone watching CNN as a serious news program give a crap about the truth??

We have a boatload of good intentions, but I have no faith that CNN will report the truth of anything since the confessions of Eason Jordan..

So screw CNN and it's mother broom.

Yeah, freepers get all their truth from FOX news, Karen Hughes, Tucker Eskew, Karl Rove and from the Kool-aid man.

[Jersey Devil]

2. freepers just don't like losing their own game

It's so funny when they start talking about bots

[wtmusic]

3. The most idiotic spelling I have ever seen, bar none

"Dude, they are using BOTS to scure the poll"

Did he mean "skewer", "skew", or "scour"? :P

[Ladyhawk]

9. LOL...what bots? There are 50,000 of us. nt

[Buck Rabbit]

52. Probably many more

On the discussion site I admin on (its not politics) we find by our unique IP hits that unregistered lurkers outnumber the registered users in multiples. Lurkers are shy creatures particularly on a board like this where the regular posters are informed and assertive and new posters are viewed suspiciously.

I suspect there are thousands of unregistered shadow members who love to read but dont want to post.

[DemBones DemBones]

39. Maybe he meant "secure"? "Screw"? "Scowl"?

:evilgrin:

[qnr]

40. Well, there was that post in the lounge

yesterday, commenting on how you can understand what people are saying with only the first and last letters in the right position (though I think that the proper number of characters fits in there too) -- and I saw a thread along the same lines about 30 minutes ago or so.

[GainesT1958]

4. WWJD? Well, in my "book", He'd...

"DU" unto others!:D

:kick:

REMEMBER...Jesus didn't ride into Jerusalem on an ELEPHANT!:7

B-)

[TrustingDog]

5. and mary rode josephs ass all the way to bethlehem.

[DjTj]

6. Their brilliant strategy is to vote for Kerry...

...I hope they stick to that on election day too.

[ibegurpard]

16. Yeah, they want the online polls to be viewed as not credible...

...because they skew so heavily towards Kerry. That's fine by me. It would be a vast improvement if the "news" organizations stopped reporting on them.

[Union Thug]

7. They're killing me...

One moment it's resignation that the 'bots' are slanting the polls and that they should just give up, the next minute some jackass is screaming about getting everyone to vote for Kerry to make it even more lopsided.

If I had any compassion for these morons, I'd feel sorry for them. But really, I have to laugh at the pathetic little trolls.

[Bleacher Creature]

8. Two questions:

1) What the hell is a BOT?

2) Did you all know that we have more hatred and malice than is on KKK and neo Nazi sites? Damn. I must have missed that memo!

[Thurston Howell IV]

13. BOT is a program that automatically accesses and processes pages

The think we've written programs to parse the pages and vote for Kerry, automatically. The program will do it essentially as fast as the server will respond to it.

As in "robot."

[wtmusic]

22. It's called "anger"

Anger is not hate. Anger is legitimate, hate is not.

[are_we_united_yet]

10. They don't realize

We don't do the same illegal unethical crap they do. It is not a plank in our platform.

[michigandem2]

11. what kind of ..err..."stratergery" is this???

I will vote for the opposing candidate???? its silly..I vote one time in each poll..most won't let you vote more than once unless you have multiple computers around..they are so ignorant

[DemBones DemBones]

38. THEY used to skew the polls, when polls were not set up to

prevent multiple votes being cast by one person. That's what freeping is all about, for those of you who don't know. THEY have had threads explaining HOW to circumvent polls' safeguards, too. THEY believe they can do anything in the cause of Bush*.

When we DU a poll, it is by individual votes from a lot of people, not by a lot of votes from a few people. We don't believe the ends justify the means; we know what cheating is.

[ParanoidPat]

60. Don't forget, when we catch them bragging about freeping a poll.....

......we notify the webmaster in charge of the poll with a link to their thread and give them advice on how to filter multiple voters out. :)

Well at least I do! :evilgrin:

[nadinbrzezinski]

12. LMAO

BOTS, they are funny, the masters of FREEPING polls, they are funny

[Jokinomx]

14. You Know Wicket..... you couldn't write comedy any better...

Its simply amazing....

:kick:

[wicket]

20. The freepers are a laugh a minute!

:D

[4_Legs_Good]

15. I LOVE IT

They're saying "It's being DU'ed"!!! Wow how we've turned the tide!!

We're the ones with the power now.

Does any of us (or them) actually bot? What a pain in the ass!

david

[Bossy Monkey]

19. They do. They used to brag about it (and give explicit instructions)

I'll look for links, and anyone is free to correct me if I'm mistaken.

Edit: Not the best examples, but kind of amusing. Rocket scientists on parade:

There was a liberal site that was encouraging people to go and vote, buzzflash.com.
The liberals and RATS are now the true poll freepers. Most people on FR don't bother to respond to poll freeping requests at all any more, while the DUh crowd, which is psychotically obsessed with FR and watches every thread posted every minute of every day, immediately acts on any Freeping request posted here and launches a massive anti-freeping attack on said poll. And they're serious about it. They run scripts to clear cookies and spam polls with hundreds of votes at a time, etc, in ways few Freepers even bothered to try in the old days, much less now.

It's frustrating to an extent, but it doesn't bother me too much, since they always way overplay their hand and end up showing results so ultra-left and so far out of line with the results of scientific polls that there's hardly anyone left out there that takes a single online poll seriously in the first place.

It's also a sign, of course, that they're desperate, while we're sailing happily along enjoying real power and success.

Well you can't get all hot and bothered about some liberal site doing that when doing the very same thing is one of the mainstays of THIS site.

Which I find incomprehensible. These internet polls are useless, and for the life of me I can't understand why so many people get wrapped up in freeping them.

I agree that we can't blow a gasket over the other side doing what we do all the time. As for why we freep the polls, it's mostly just for fun. Imagine the reaction of the dim-voting nuts when they looked at an online poll for dim candidates a couple of months ago and saw that Al Sharpton was ahead by around 20% at one point. True, it's not scientific and doesn't really impact anything, but it's good for a chuckle once in a while.

Just for fun I tried to vote 'yes' twice. Whatever they did shut down my browser and kicked me offline....

[Zhade]

48. "watches every thread posted every minute of every day"

Oh, that reminds me, it's almost time for my shift! Time to go watch some Freepers!

Ah, I'm kidding. (Or am I? Yes. Or maybe...)

HAHAHAHAHA, I love how paranoid they get. Like their insipid racist ranting is worth my time!

[qnr]

53. maybe we should watch the FR threads

then, when we see that they have started DUing the polls, we can all pull "our bots" in for a tune-up, or a quick game of scrabble or something.

Edit: grammatical mods

[Bossy Monkey]

17. Note to freeper lurkers: It's the American people, stupid!

You're the ones with the bots. By and large, we're leaving the polls alone because we see that the American people saw the same debete that we did: Kerry wiping the floor with your boy. Maybe now y'all wish you hadn't let the evil little swine get away with slandering McCain in '00.

[xxqqqzme]

29. they R using the wrong

internet, is my guess. Their whiney, pathetic, shouting squatter should have told then which one to use since there is now more than one.

What the hell was up w/ squatter yelling all night?

[tblue37]

43. I posted this on another thread, but it seems to fit here as well.

I wear hearing aids and also used closed captioning, and I watch TV with the volume turned way up. But when Bush was speaking, I had to keep lowering the volume on the TV, because with my hearing aids in, his shouting was actually painful to me.

When you adjust the volume on a closed-captioned TV, during the brief time you are making the adjustment the closed captioning doesn't work. The fact that I had to keep "disappearing" my closed captioning to turn Bush down and then to turn Kerry back up made the fact of Bush's shouting very noticeable to me, but I was wondering whether anyone else noticed, or whether my own awareness of it was just an effect of having to constantly mess with my volume and thus lose my closed captioning for a few seconds each time.

[ibegurpard]

21. Why do they insist on calling it "The" DU?

What is up with that? It's puzzling.

[umtalal]

23. It is 61K freepers to 200+K DU.'rs. what's their story??

[wicket]

24. They're on one of the other "internets"

:D

[umtalal]

26. highly educated and savvy I'd say. they are not the majority in this USA!!

[Guaranteed]

35. We're not that well-numbered- at all.

Some of those polls we've been hitting have vote numbers in the very low thousands. And think about everyone else voting in them.

I'd estimate DU's presence at around 1,000-3,000 in these polls.

[Maddy McCall]

25. Idiots freepers are now casting THEIR votes for Kerry, because, ya know...

it will make CNN see how ridiculous the Kerry win is; plus, they can take responsibility for "giving" it to Kerry, instead of voting for a loser. :shrug: :eyes: We need a smilie for DUMBASSES.

[umtalal]

27. Hey, they want Bush for their president. Case closed.

[Guaranteed]

34. This is free morale-devastation for us, against Bush supporters!

Thanks, freepers!

Every person that clicks on that poll and sees a million votes with Kerry getting 80-85% is going to think, WOW, Kerry's got this sewn up.

[ibegurpard]

42. Fine by me

If it casts doubts on the credibility of these stupid online polls they will have done society a great favor.

[qnr]

44. I think it's just an excuse,

I remember how they used to dominate the polls in the 2000 election. They can't do it now, no matter how hard they try. First, we're energized, second, they're backing a losing horse, Average Americans are hitting the polls and expressing thir opinion. So, to make themselves feel better, they claim we're using bots as commented on before -- Contrary to what they are saying about skewing the polls so badly that CNN et al will have to dump them, I think they are doing it so that they can say to one another later "Well, Bush was only demolished becase we voted against him to make DUers look bad."

[Maddy McCall]

45. Exactly. You said it better than I did, but what I was trying to say...

is what you said. Bless you. :-)

Did what I just said make any sense? :-)

[qnr]

46. Sure did

Thanks. Actually I knew you had said it, but I was distracted when my dog demanded his Constitutional right to mark some territory. I'm rapidly approaching senility, and totally forget it had been brought up :)

[Maddy McCall]

49. ;-)

LOL!

[Contrary1]

57. a smilie...

[Contrary1]

61. or two

[Ksec]

28. We do it for the wood.

[Roland99]

30. "Done- I voted for Kerry- he's up to 80% on the poll"

From a Freeper

[tblue37]

31. All your base are belong to us. n/t

[Guaranteed]

32. Yeah, vote for Kerry, freepers.

That's a genius strategy. When the poll gets up to 2,000,000 votes and it's 85% Kerry, that's going to really not be absolutely devastating to Bush supporters' morale at all.

[MsMagnificent]

33. They cut their own throat and then cackle about it?

"I just went over & voted Kerry"

Seriously retarded,
I mean big time!

Half of me wants to laugh, the other part is 'where's the straight-jacket?'

[Ksec]

36. Freepers get WOOD watching the Chimp

Lets beat wood into the ground.

Itll be a great way to belittle the cons and you know that showing them to look like bumbling fools is a good thing.

[tblue37]

47. Heh, heh, heh--

He said "beat wood."

[OnionPatch]

37. Aren't there as many freepers as there are DUers?

If so, then the polls should be pretty accurate, right?

[bush equals idiot]

41. Hey freeps

The men in the little white coats are coming for you soon. When they get there, be sure to also tell em you voted for Kerry....don't forget.:freak:

[TheWebHead]

51. freerepublic.com gets much more traffic than DU

normally that's not a good thing to say here, but in terms of these polls, they have more influence on skewing them than we do... So in reality these polls would be even more in our favor if both DU and the Freepers didn't exist.

[KharmaTrain]

54. That's From So Many Of Us Going Over There

Kinda like watching a bad car wreck. You know it's bad, you know you shouldn't be there, you know if you stay it only gets worse, but you just have to look one more time.

The site does have its strong supporters and many who are very well connected in the GOOP and its affiliated enterprises...but that's fine with me. At least this way we can keep an eye on the morans rather than be surprised, as we have in the past.

[qnr]

55. I mostly go there

When a friend asks me to critique their introductory HTML/XML/CSS work and I'm about to say something particularly rude to them about their efforts ---- A quick trip to Free Republic puts everything in perspective, and my criticism ends up being much more constructive.

[KharmaTrain]

58. LOL...They're Still Stuck With a perl script board

That's soooooo 90's...LOL.

I've been snooping in on them almost since they started up and I don't know what era with these morans was worse. The Clinton/Gore days when everything evil was Clinton or today where they diefy a total asshole.

[qnr]

62. Yes, I remember the Clinton days on FR well n/t

[obiwan]

56. Here's an idea that works for me...

For every link posted on this ridiculus (sp?) Freeper thread, go to that link and vote for Kerry. Easy and obvious.

Back in the dope-smoking 70's, we referred to something like this as a "mind fuck."

Sometimes it's fun having a battle of wits with unarmed people.

[alexisfree]

59. done!!!

77%
