Freepers are now passing around information on voter suppression. That site should be shut down.

The full thread below here's the link if you want it.

Doesn't work. No matter what outrageous thing you claim in the name of Obama, for some reason, his followers say "Amen" after it.

Me: Obama promises to take your car out of your driveway and put puppy in every in every freezer.

Them:Amen, Praise Obama

Many decent and civilized people left freerepublic months ago, and went somewhere else.

Too bad for the primitives.

1. Shut down by whom? On what pretext?

2. You tell me. I'm not an expert on US law but I assuming that voter suppression in the form of conveying false information about voting dates and locations is a crime and that counseling voter suppression call be classed as conspiracy.

If the strategy being advocated in that thread is free speech protected than this election in great danger of being flipped by widespread fraud using social media.

I'm just letting you know what the Freepers are up to since I lurk there to keep track of they're shenanigans.

Since so many decent and civilized people jumped ship months ago, probably the friar primitive should look elsewhere to see what we're up to.

Not here, but how about www.conservativeunderground.com, their "Best/Worst of DU" forum?

We don't want lurking primitives here.

6. Conspiracy to commit vote suppression.

View profile

I'm pretty sure it's illegal to call people and tell them to vote on Wednesday.

What I'm not sure about is where to report it.

Ah well, one supposes it's still legal to call people and tell them to vote on Thursday, then.

7. I doubt one person joking on a message board equals voter supression.

Like a lot of message boards, people like to joke around. I doubt there are going to be thousands (or even one) calls telling people to vote on Wednesday.

10. That's good to know and the reason I posted this thread. Harper and his Tory version of US PACs robocalled Ontario voters in three close ridings encouraging them to vote the day after the election. They were caught and the case is still going through the courts and may lead to a few bi-elections. So this particular tactic is of interest to Canadians and Americans.

That's evidence enough to determine this DUmpmonkey is DUmb enough to accept a ride to the polls on Wednesday.

Now, I'm not an ambulance-chaser, but I'm pretty sure this "voter suppression" the DUmpmonkeys squeal about all the time isn't in fact a crime.

You can't pass a law that makes it harder for the muslim's deadbeat supporters to vote than civilized people.
You can't threaten anyone to prevent them from voting.
You can't assault anyone or physically obstruct their way into the polls.

But I've never heard of a law against urging democrat deadbeats to vote on Wednesday, or offering rides to the polls on Thursday and don't believe there is one. In fact, I'd consider those things to be a public service.

Voter suppression can be illegal unless you are a black panther and there is a black attorney general. Then it's OK.

As for shutting down FreeRepublic: Lets see. The DUmp is being monitored by the Secret Service because of the crap they say and do on there, but yet the DUmp wants to shut down FreeRepublic? Well, Scooter, if the DUmp hasn't been shut down yet, there is no way that FreeRepublic will be shut down. In fact, the DUmp will be gone long before FreeRepublic every will be.

I like the way the web interface has 'Call Tool' printed above the phone number of the person Obama wants you to solicit for free.

The question is -

A) Is the person you are phone soliciting the "Tool" ?

B) Are you the tool for making the call (Eg.  "Call, Tool.")

C) Both of the above.

D) Potato !

And not only regards myself--I was small potatoes over there--but s-o-o-o-o-o many others too.

I still have fond feelings for freerepublic, and of course we're all indebted to freerepublic for having started it all, having been the first of the non-"mainstream" news media--and such a big one, too.

Even people who loathe freerepublic can't take that away from freerepublic.

It was the first, and grew to be the biggest.

But as long as rectal apertures are allowed a free rein, I'd just as soon go some other place.

I just think he's a nut, as are all his cheerleaders over there at what used to be a very good site.

He's attracting more and more nuts now, like flies.

I doubt his new stable of nuts have the means to support him the way the now-zotted decent and civilized people did in the past.

Two things...

1)You really need to research the long history of FR and Jims various leanings as it over time benefited him.

2) Since I don`t moderate this forum I feel free to say that for you as a relative newcomer to attack a long time poster,moderator and well known/respected person over a lot of years on forums is casts a very dim light on your judgment and demeanor.

In Madison the People's Central Committee on Planning and Placing unanimously voted to segregate all Republican and Democrat polling places so no liberal has to touch the voting pen of any evil icky Rethuglican.

Democrat Voters have been instructed to locate any short pier at any of Madison's lovely lakes and to commence to take a long walk on that short pier. Liberal voters will know they are close to their new polling places when they being to feel a little moist.

Being that the People's Central Committee on Planning and Placing love mother Gaia and respect all life, except fetal life, equally, they have hired the fish as poll workers for the November 7th Democrat elections.  Democrat voters are respectfully asked not to bring any fish flakes to their polling place as this could be construed as bribing a poll worker.

Sorry Frank, decent and civilized people did not leave Free Republic months ago, backstabbers did.  I'm was sorry to see you were one of them.  You should be ashamed of yourself.

My good friend Carl kind of, uh, exaggerated about me.

Anyway, I'm not responding as a moderator, but only as franksolich was on freerepublic.

I don't "back-stab;" my opinions about how freerepublic has changed over the years have been stated out in the open where everybody and his uncle can see them.  More correctly, I "front-stab," publicly out in the open.

I was very sorry to give up on freerepublic.  I had lurked there beginning in the late 1990s, and finally joined--I'm a shy person--in October 2003.  During the middle years of the last decade, freerepublic was a fun place to be, and I found myself reading it about three-quarters of all the time I spent on the internet.

It was great; lots of really good people, lots of illumination and entertainment.

And as already mentioned, we all owe a debt of gratitude to freerepublic for having been the first truly-effective counterpart to the "mainstream" news media.  Given the sheer overwhelming dominance of the "mainstream" news media, damn, that was no small feat.

freerepublic gave the voiceless a voice.

I never got involved in the various causes and crusades of the owner.  My attitude was, and is, that he owns the web-site, and one plays by his rules.  I'm a really good rule-follower; even my moles on Skins's island scrupulously observe the rules as laid down by Skins.  I thought his anti-Romney, anti-Mormon, crusade kind of stupid, not to mention short-sighted, but it's his property; he has the right to make the rules.

I stopped going to freerepublic a couple of years ago simply because the owner tolerates posters who misrepresent themselves, posters who for what must be some really weird or perverted motives, follow certain members around, bullying them.  Either would not be tolerated here.

Usually franksolich kicks bullies in both the teeth and the balls, but in this case, I figured it wasn't worth my time and trouble, and so I just went away, quietly.  I suspect the rectal apertures there didn't like franksolich simply out of jealousy, because they know I'm a bigger man than they are.

When compared with most other people, I fall short, sometimes abysmally so--but compared with the rectal apertures rampaging freely through freerepublic, unfettered by the owner, God's not demanding any humility of me.

No one stabbed Jim Robinson in the back, Sprout, he ran decent and civilized people away or banned them outright.

Why don't you go back over to Free Republic and tell Jim Robinson he should be ashamed of himself. Do it as a new member, with say 20 posts. You'll get the zot right away. You come here, to Frank's house, with 20 posts, and tell him he should be ashamed of himself, and you don't get banned. But you're gonna get bitch-slapped, bitch.

Michelle Obama, speaking yesterday at a campaign event in Florida:

So that one new voter that you register in your precinct -- think about it -- that one neighbor that you get to the polls on November the 2 I want you to understand, that could be the one that makes the difference. That one conversation, that one new volunteer you recruit, that could be the one that puts this over the top.

The presidential election this year is November 6.

Vote early, vote often, it's the Chicago way. :rotf:

Proving once again they are America's Smartest Couple.  How will the DUmmies spin this one?

I don't think JimRob is posting drunk, though it sure does sound like that.

I just think he's a nut, as are all his cheerleaders over there at what used to be a very good site.

He's attracting more and more nuts now, like flies.

I doubt his new stable of nuts have the means to support him the way the now-zotted decent and civilized people did in the past.

I don't think he posts drinking at all.  But the humblegunner does in my opinion.  LOL

Yeah, the owner's just out of sorts because of problems dealing with his physical incapacitation.

But humblegunner's a good reason to attach breathalyzers to computers, so that people don't make asses of themselves, posting while drunk.

LMAO.  Sometimes it can be amusing how the real person comes out when they are drinking and making fools out of themselves.  Several occasions all I saw was the aftermath of deleted messages and upset people.

Sorry Frank, decent and civilized people did not leave Free Republic months ago, backstabbers did.  I'm was sorry to see you were one of them.  You should be ashamed of yourself.

Why don't you go hug a nut, noob dickhead.  I signed up at FR in March of 98 and left that cesspool of a site several months ago.  What it is, is no longer what it was.

Take your butthurt back to FR.

So this lady from JimRob's asylum thinks coach started this place? And that he did it in order to complain about FR?

As I recall, this place was started, not by coach, after Gator went nuts at CU. No one here really cared that much when JimRob lost his mind.

I hope she does start her own site. It would make Crazy Andrea's elm tree place look like Grand Central Station.

At least she'd fit in better there than she does here. As she suggested, f- her.

This site was not started to whine about FR, sprout.  FR has become the mirror image of DU since Jim Rob decided to go completely batshit insane.  I would have never thought that (after the 2000 election season) I would see FR become a supporter of a marxist scumbag like obama.  

Never.

After W won the primary, Jim Rob put out the word that FR was going to support W no matter what because beating Albert Arnold Algore Junior was priority one.  12 years later, he goes after Mitt Romney harder than any libtard democrat while sane voices are shouted down and thrown out of the door.

Yes, sprout, decent and civilized people have left FR over the years and they have left in droves.

You know what...I won't just imply it....I'll ****ing SAY it.  They left.  Good people...some on their own...some because they dared to stand up to JimRob and say "you're wrong".  The nut jobs have taken over at FR.  It's the reason I only go two places over there these days.  The Canteen and Alas Babylon!'s sunday morning talk thread. 

JimRob has taken was used to be the premiere place for conservatives and turned it into an asylum for 100%'ers...Ronulans and the mentally insane...and given his rantings about Romney...he's squarely in the last category.

I've maybe posted 10 times at FR, the last time over 5 years ago.  From what I heard, the owner didn't like Romney (wasn't conservative in his viewpoint) and based upon that went overboard on those who did support the presumptive nominee.  Makes little sense at all why the owner would do that.  While Romney is far from being as conservative as he should be for my liking, this economy stinks and it isn't going to get any better under Dear Leader.  Will Romney be any better?  I dunno, but I'm willing to take my chances.  If this JimRob character can't see that, then he doesn't need to be commenting on politics.

Imagine Gator with a bigger audience and that's JimRob right now.  He's got a bunch of nut jobs over there bashing Romney for being a Mormon and some kind of "false prophet in a fake religion" thus being unfit for the job.  It reminds me of the bigots that said Kennedy would take orders from the Pope if he was elected.

But I think Bally posted a link a couple days ago where he's decided it's better to have Romney than four more years of Obama.  Which is exactly what he did 4 years ago with McLame.

Okay guys (not only you, GOBUCKS, sir), I didn't take Sprout's comments about me as a personal attack on me--and if if they had been, my professional ethics as a moderator would've compelled me to act as if they hadn't been said.

I've known Sprout for some years, mostly on freerepublic.  Sprout is legit, bona fide, and a witty poster over there.  Jumping all over one of our own isn't kosher.

Other than our disagreement about freerepublic, Sprout and franksolich have always been eminently comfortable with each other.

So calm down; it wasn't personal, and it's only a solitary issue of contention among tens of thousands of other issues of amicable agreement.

If Ron Paul were delirious with rabies, or if David Duke tried the brown acid, I'd expect them to sound just like wacko JimRob.

The probability of a legitimately decent and civilized person feeling comfortable at today's FR, let alone agreeing with the owner, is exactly zero.

As someone noted upthread, FR has become the mirror image of the DUmp, due to its deranged owner and a swarm of trolls from the DUmp.
