Jim Robinson's Freeper Revolution is a PR ploy for dollars!

[styersc]

A few other threads have expressed outrage over the FR's head wingnut, Jim Robinson's, call for a Million Militant Wingnut March on Washington, to replace the government from the top down.

The post is typically outrageous in its hatred (veiled and explicit), and the responses are pure right wing cliche'. But don't be fooled by the bluster. Robinson is eager to bate a fight with HufPo, Daily Kos, MSNBC or any other outlet with wide distribution (and JimRob is a master bater). These little brushes with relevence give JimRob the opportunity to pump his contributors for the money to fight the battle agianst the evil libs.

I lurk FR regularly and noticed that their quarterly fundraisers are getting longer and slower. He's having a hard time raising hate-bucks.

Recently I read that alQueada is having a tough time raising money. Seems the American radicals have the same problem.

1. I dare say it is nigh impossible there are even a million Freepers.

I always figured the total number of actual Freepers could fit into a single Rotary Club dancehall.

Sure, there's probably more than that, but seriously, a million?

3. Maybe FR'd get quite a few participants if the orgainizers offered

half price Grand Slam breakfast at Denny's.

Sorry Denny's wait staff. I suspect that the freepers are lousy tippers.

4. irony is...

We're giving that post more attention than the freepers are.. So far, it doesn't even have 500 responses. It's basically sitting there with crickets chirping.

I think the more rational freepers realize RimJob has gone too far.

2. Poutrage economics.

1. Whip people up.
2. Accept donations.
3. Use the donations to fund more poutrage.

I'm quite sure the second oldest profession is politics, to eliminate the oldest profession.

5. Didn't the big freeper convention....

...only have about fifteen people sign up??? They have a little ways to go before reaching a million.

6. Someone already coined this in another thread

but I like the idea of calling it "The Million Moron March".

11. wouldn't that be

"The Million Moran March"? :D

7. But they had a skid-o-can

8. Agreed this has been a cry for cash from the get go.

10. The screed is a document showing how the Republicans are out of touch xenophobic theocrats

So what else is new...

12. Q: How do you stop a million freepers from marching?

A: Give them each a stick of gum.
