2. Notice they're on Day 7 of their fund drive and are just a tad over 25%
Edited on Fri Oct-07-05 01:09 PM by expatriot
Is it going to be a month long fund drive this time? Longer?

It seems
toward the end, they always get a big donation to end the drive. I suspect it's made up - they just don't want the embarassment of not hitting their goal.

29. John Robinson even posted a thread on the fund controversy
They obviously are feeling the sting of the public getting wise to the snookerthons.

The Free Republic is fascist site that grooms political views like one plants a garden. If they do not like a particular conservative or any other view person has badly enough, they rip the human 'weed' right out of the garden.

They have dumbed down the poster herd, and as a consequence they have made shallow the forum well of political efficacy. They have people now far less prone to give then they once did when Trixie was bellowing "EAGLES UP! and the FReeper "Welcome newcomers!" thread was constantly bumped to the top.

Jim Robber has become like the cockroach general in the Fabulous Furry Freak Brother's comic treating the poster ranks like he did his six legged troops; "There's plenty more where they came from. ;-)

33. Yeah, the guy is proud of his job,
which, apparently, involves maintaining (and never updating) one of the most dated, clunky, and poorly organized forums on the web.

36. I'm amazed it's still around
It hasn't changed much except for the idiot proofing of the HTML tags people would leave open in their post, or the resizing wide photos would do.

It was in frames when I first discovered the FR. And they boasted how theirs was a repository of articles to use to have enough information to safeguard the Republic and further conservative causes.

Naturally the dimwits don't talk like that these days. They don't care much about anything in that forum and I'm sure they have low opinions of their poster and lurker base.

They just care about those monthlies and Woo Hoo! big sum donations. They make all that money and then do a fund raiser to get Jimmy Robber a lift for his van. The hubris runs deep and pungent in the Cafe Paranoia/FR circles.

34. I remember seeing Mr. Severeid
at an education conference. He was absolutely magnificent. What a speaker. Severeid and Cronkite were people of intelligence and civility. People of respect and standing. You cannot find that any more. The women and men in the news today are just too stupid to understand what their roll is. It should not be to kiss bush's butt but to inform the population of the the activities that are taking place in the world and in the nation. The Twinkies on cnn and msnbc are a joke a minute and the nightly news it not a whole lot better. They appear to be a little off their mark and are reaching trying not to disgust themselves.

8. wow
"Conspiracy to Undermine a sitting president in a time of war with false information? What I do know is that this SOB Wilson put out wrong and false information that he knew about before the administration in an obvious attempt to undermine the the USA in a time of war. I don't know if it meets the legal standards of treason but in my view it should. I think of him , The Democrats, and the MSM as solidly anti American and has become so treasonous on daily basis that it is no longer thought of as serious charge. This piece of scum along with his incompetent wife has done enormous harm to America. They should go down hard. ...Add Wilson my "I'd like to punch him right in mouth" list."

14. Freepathon mascot!
I see that he is a tattooed military type. I have yet to meet a conservative that thought tattoos were ok. I had a man tell me he could NEVER date anyone with a tat. I showed him mine, then showed him the door. Lesson learned: Don't date Repubs.

And why do they need scare tactics to get their donations?

16. This illustrates how feeble minds trying to "think"
Go splat. This feeb has an IQ that probably doesn't have a fighting chance at triple digits, but listen to him acting like he can think rationally.

indeed. not only is it directed at the wrong people to begin with, but i do not have that confident feeling in my stomach about this one.

judith miller did not just sit in jail so she could wait for the personal call from libby. she either sat there for a book deal, correct timing for the offensive on the GOP, pending a deal to not reveal the actual sources, agreement to not have to testify on her part in tipping off terrorist mosques, or some combination of the above.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA. What a tool.

20. I would not be surprised to see their fund drive go into reverse...
since they are the party of greed and corruption, witnessing the Freepmeisters funnelling donations into their own pockets and seeing them go into the red is not out of the realm of possibility! I am frankly surprised that anyone there has been able to part with even one penny!

25. Freepers reside in a different dimension...
as evidenced by the following:



To: snugs

"Oh, I love the expression on President Bush's face in that last picture. It just says everything - anger at the hurt, pride in the soldier, sorrow for his loss..."

26 posted on 10/06/2005 5:36:34 PM PDT by Amity

:wtf: Can anyone else see this in the picture?

They post pictures of Smirk each day, and then circle jerk about what a first class guy he is. For a good laugh, check out the pics from yesterday. They think he looks great. Like I said...they live in their own little world.

To: snugs
Condi looks so concerned for the president. Her heart must break for him, knowing how he is portrayed by the lying liberal media. What a difficult job they all have. God bless them.
