3. Post says this is the "REAL" call to action. I guess #1 (yesterday's) was fake. Go figure. |

4. no doubt they are expecting Rushie etc. to pick up their cause |
|
on the nationwide echo chamber. And Rush is such a bombastic asshole who thinks he can do nothing wrong that he may do it. It could be fun watching Rushie defend the racism exhibited there.

14. it will be interesting to see who, if anyone, will defend their racism |
|
a look at their discussions of Michelle Obama will erase any doubts that this isn't their usual mode.

42. One of the Freeps claims he has info that will "bring down Daily Kos" |
|
Edited on Mon Jul-13-09 12:07 PM by JohnnyRingo
Hahahahaha They're mad because their racist threads were exposed to daylight, so one of their own went into pajama mode, saying he has the dirt on Kos. The racist comments were picked up by a Vancouver newspaper and printed with credit to FR. They asked the site owner if he approved, and he chose to leave the thread intact. He eventually removed them, but not until the heat got worse.
Likely this is the only place you'll hear of it and it'll fizzle like an Acme sky rocket, leaving the coyote to plunge from the cliff.

...having DU linked to FreeRepublic. Even mentioning FR on DU lends them credibility as a worthy opposition, AND encourages THEM to come HERE. "They" certainly should NOT appear on OUR Greatest Page.

I'm following David Shuster on Twitter and no tweets from him. There was a late nite thread, probably during a slumber party from someone's basement, blathering about his Freeper homophobia tweet. Funny stuff....
Anyhow, I'm breathlessly awaiting Call to Action #2 - and I think we just refer to it as #2 since all their stuff is crap anyway.

And that's all the Freepers will ever have.
Somebody exposed the pervasive culture of bigotry they harbor on that site, and they got pissed. so they lash out at the person who exposed rather than examine the pervaise culture of bigotry they foster.
All this means is, the pervaise culture of bigotry will only increase as time goes by. They're bigotted racists and you can find examples of that behaviour not just being tolerated, but also being lauded, in nearly any thread of discussioin on the site.

24. Same link I posted in OP... latest post from Chris Parry - here: |
|
To: joinedafterattack Is this going to be another batch like yesterday, where you take interest-free loans I made to a third world charity and called it ‘loan-sharking’, and a haiku attacking Bush/Cheney/Brown for not helping African Americans after Hurricane Katrina and call it an “incitement to attack black people”? Or when you found a post where I pilloried Joe Biden for his bankruptcy bill and said he “has to go” (meaning he needed to be primaried) and decided I was calling for his assassination?
Because, really, that was lame. Almost as lame as the accusation I created some 80 or so fake email addresses to create 80 or so fake FR accounts to post 80 or pieces of racism so I could write a story about it.
I mean, seriously guys, hate me for being a liberal all you like. But just making stuff up out of whole cloth is a little silly.
Maybe just stop calling 11-year-old daughters of the Commander in Chief “whore” and you wouldn’t have to worry about guys like me. Ya know?

29. Don't those assholes understand that the issue isn't Parry or anything he has ever written, |
|
but the racist rantings on their site.
They are completely ignoring the main issue--they posted (and their moderator kept them up) racist, sexist garbage about an eleven year old girl.

Like how they turned the story about Bush dodging his military service into being all about CBS's reporting. Sadly, it can be effective.

They really don't.
These are the same people who think they lost the 08 election because they went too far to the left. The ones who think there will be a popular uprising against the president. That Palin is wildly popular and that somehow it's OK to call an 11 year old girl a whore. They don't live in the real world.
The real world was mean to them so they made up their own. One where they cant be wrong.

To: joinedafterattack That’s it?
Seriously?
Allow me to state, without any hesitation, that those remarks, made anonymously on the internet many years ago, before I was anywhere near the newspaper industry, were inappropriate and distasteful.
After a decade and a half online, I’m not surprised I had the occasional moment of silliness left behind me. It happens.
You live, you learn. Moving on.

To: joinedafterattack Oh, by the way, The Province is an entirely separate newspaper. Contacting them about this won’t do much to help your cause. Nor will contacting advertising, sales, finance, reader services or community investment.
Publisher and editor-in-chief are your go-to guys, if you must.
