Freepers up to dirty tricks Democratic Underground be alert
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1234373/posts

Let us Freep These People by Phone and demand an explanation about this lapse of not enforcing the rules or publicly reprimanding Kerry for breaking them. Also complain that Lehrer questions were biased and that CBS should be barred from any participation other than coverage of 04 debates. Bush cannot touch this with a 10 foot pole or he looks like a sore loser (he didn't lose it was a draw) in the echo chamber of the Main Stream Media. These people must reply to public outrage - afterall we as taxpayers pay their salaries. Their response to this will have to be covered at least on Fox and then the Legacy media will look biased if they don't mention it. Imagine if they were backed into a corner and said they were launching an investigation and would question Kerry. That would be me on the roof.

4. Just ignore this - they are so desperate
No wonder they follow Bush so blindly - they are either stupid or crazy or both.

Let them call and write and scream etc. It's fun to just watch them self destruct.

Bush is not a sore loser even though he didnt lose so stop saying that.

5. DU call the number and compliment them

Call the number, tie up the lines, spend a long time complimenting the first debate and how professionally it was handled.

31. Here Are The Questions They Wanted
Of course, because they're so important to "national security"

1.) Are you upset you weren't able to finish reading My Pet Goat to those cute school children? Should they be allowed to read that book in home schools using tax breaks? How did you feel when you knew you would scare the poor children if you told them Saddam had just flown a plane into the Empire Trade Center?

2.) Mr. pResident, since there are terrorists everywhere, do you think this debate is a danger to national security as there could be terrorist right in this very room? Is this country prepared spiritulaly and militarily for the rapture?

3.) Since we know every trouble you face is Bill Clinton's fault, could you take the next two minutes and say how evil Hillary is?

I can't wait for the town hall (if there is one)...in this episode Bunnypants meets human beings for the first time in many years (90 minutes; Situation Comedy/Tragedy)

8. They come off as exactly what they're trying not to be
Sore losers. They look so pathetic doing this. It must hurt them that Bush is going up against someone who doesn't have an "open for rent" sign between his ears.

9. They must think ....
grasping at straws is an Olympic event. Even journalists that are usually Bush supporters (like Scarborough) said that Kerry won. There are 2 more debates (3 if you count the VP's). I'm sure Bushco is regrouping and we'll see what happens on Friday.

To tell you the truth, he's probably done himself a disservice by making all of his rallies for "approved people only". He needs to be able to answer the hard questions. What a wuss!

19. Yup...
... Congress works for the freepers and ought to investigate all the networks because their boy took a drubbing. And, yup, it ought be covered "at least on Fox...."

One day, this country will regain its sanity. One day, general opinion will be that these people are the ideological and emotional children of Joe Pyne. One day, soon, I hope.

22. Hey, one of those Freepers says something smart
Well, sorta. You gotta admire the gumption of a dude who calls himself "mywholebodyisaweapon". Mywholebodyisaweapon goes: "As to the second part, I had a sinking feeling all last week that we were being set up. Rove was foolish enough to start talking landslides and everyone was concentrating on how Kerry would look like a pumpkin on Thursday night. IN short, expectations for Bush were made astronomical and expectations for Kerry were made minimal.

Folks, we were beaten at our own game. Let's not let it happen again for the next month, or Kerry could win.
"

Damn straight, pumpkin. But who wants to bet the only weapon this guy's body resembles is a poolside cannonball.

28. another freeper wants them to stop crying
C'mon people, lets quit crying. If the Democrats were whining like this we'd tell them to quit being such babies.

Kerry served up plenty of softballs and Bush didn't hit them out like he should have. It was a mediocre performance, but it doesn't appear much was lost as a result. If nothing else, there is no question who will have the lower expectations for the next two, so there is nowhere to go but up.

24. Jeepers Freepers
If you think about it, the Creepy Freepies have been whipsawed pretty badly these last few weeks. From believing that they had effectively stopped Kerry dead in his tracks with the Fat Boat Liars canard and the Dan Rather affair, to realizing now that everything they believed about their role in politics is no longer all that effective or of much interest to very many people any more.

And now this pathetic gambit regarding Kerry's pen...

Has Kerry effectively neutralized the lunatic right? It would appear so. And with the fall of Bush we could pretty well be rid of these people for awhile as they are forced back into their native remote fringes of our society, and away from the attention of the mainstream world.

26. And Faux/Bushco has been put down as a joke against the truth
And I hope they are sued big time for their joke columnist WH correspondent who posted lies big time against Kerry on their site. Big time. They say they are "sorry". Sure, I hope no democrat agrees to appear on their phony site.

Meanwhile, we need to get back to work. Has anyone heard anything more about this breaking story that some people are talking about? Something about Bush joining the Communist Party when he was at Yale?

25. Boo Fucking Hoo
Edited on Sun Oct-03-04 11:20 PM by MsMagnificent
***WAAAAAAH! WAAAAAAAH! We didn't win so Kerry MUST have cheated! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH***

Just because THEIR candidate looks like a hunched orange chimpy and sounds like a grouchy 'My Pet Goat' (still, twice as stupid - I've seen smarter goats by far than him! Better speakers too ;)
Just because Fubya THINKS like a hollow plastic Mr. Potato Head doesn't mean the OPPONENT CHEATED!!!

John Kerry has more than enough of an intellect to be able to cache and analyze truly important data, enough of a memory to REMEMBER said data, enough experience in public speaking to not sound like a pet goat going Ahhhh - Ahhhh - Ahhhh!
and above all he shows the poise and presence of what's is still known in any part of the world BUT the U.S. -- STATESMANSHIP!


So they don't like it eh? Well the remedy is them getting a better candidate next time! Until then -- they've got a moron as their candidate so they'd best get used to LOSING against Intelligent Men & Women!

Actually, they did at one time have a great candidate --John McCain-- but the Bush cadre cannabalized him, and he's sadly fit no more to hold that office.
Oh well. Too bad.

Boo Fucking Hoo

And they want to BAN THE PRESS?!
A CORNERSTONE of our FREEDOM AND CONSTITUTION?!
What fine, two-faced, hypocritical U.S. citizens THEY are! *gag*

These 'Professional KKKristians' are simply Childish Sore Losers!!!

...and sometimes that makes me laugh, other times it's simply sad.

30. And Kerry Should Tell Faux/Bushco News to Get Lost
After their Cameron episode. If Hannity and O'Reilly espouses that garbage, fine. But Kerry should stay away from it. I hope Faux/Bush News is fined dearly for their false stories they puut on the net. If I were Kerry, I wouldn't touch Hannity or O'Reilly with a 10 foot pole.

34. The (Magic) PEN is mightier than the (Covert) Earpiece!
How dare they use a pen disruptor on our mighty prince's hotline to god!

Here's a snip from a surveillance site's article on how casinos use tech to detect cheaters.
I am perhaps only half-joking here.
There are pen sized disrupters perhaps? Ah, but sometimes a pen is just a pen!



Electronically equipped teams with the ability to dent your bottom line will almost certainly be using inductive ear canal receivers.

These receivers detect magnetic radiation, not radio frequency. For our purposes this magnetic radiation can only travel a few feet. This radiation is 'broadband' in the sense that to detect it you do not have to tune to a particular frequency. If an inductive loop and amplifier is brought within range of the device's output inductor, it's possible to receive the same signals that the wearer of the earpiece is receiving.

Inductive loops are both transmitters and receivers. For example if you pump a very high-power oscillating signal into such a loop while in the vicinity of someone wearing an inductive earpiece, you would drive them batty. Such a device could be hand held or incorporated under gaming tables for very little cost.

Surveillance Technology can advise on the techniques involved and the equipment required.


The loop would go around the neck, probably in the back, like this...


So if they want to cry about the pen disrupter, well. They may be sorry!

35. Let's not be so smug
Yes, I hear all of you. I know these are the desperate death rattles of a doomed campaign, of those supporting an Idiot Emperor King whose new clothes are starting to slide off...but you are all sounding as if you think we are untouchable.

Yes the Republicans are desperate, but so is the media, their mouthpiece. They will stop at nothing and we cannot just assume that the most outlandish of accusations will die simply becuase of their preposterousness.
