Calling Out The Freepers at Radio News America
Hello fellow DUers,

I've been keeping up with the lies being spread in the comments section of my Andy Stephenson tribute piece over the past 12 days, and some of those guys went a little too far Friday afternoon.

Last night I wrote another Op/Ed calling them out. Either come up with the proof you have about Andy Stephenson or shut up.

So far, no proof. Just more lies and venom from the other side.

Anyway, here's an excerpt of what I wrote. As you can tell, the gloves are off and I'm not taking any prisoners...

Calling Out Steve & The Freepers
Original Op/Ed by Robbie Michaels
Radio News America
July 22nd, 2005

To Steve and The Freepers,

Day after day, wild accusations fly out of your mouths like a bad case of diarrhea after gorging on Mexican food at 3 in the morning. Why do you continue to make accusations against Andy Stephenson after his death? Why do you do it based on nothing more than innuendo and lies?

This afternoon, you crossed the line. Although it is public information, you posted a former address that Andy lived at. You also insinuated that a recent home mortgage refinance could’ve produced the money needed for his surgery, making the fundraising efforts unnecessary.

On behalf of the public, I’m asking, “Where’s the proof?”

The only thing you’ve accomplished during the past eleven days on the Radio News America blog is smear Andy’s name, without giving him or those close to him a chance to defend him. Steve, since you are not a resident of the United States, let me tell your stupid foreign a** how things are done here on the other side of the border.

In America, you are innocent until proven guilty.

1. Steve is a known troll that has been banned from DU
Edited on Sun Jul-24-05 06:27 AM by sfexpat2000
multiple times. And he seems to be bent on being banned from as many boards as possible.

Any idiot can buy a machine. Any idiot can attack a sick man, let alone a dead man.

Andy is free of this but Steve has to live with it. Enjoy, Steve. Your mother must be proud.

6. Honestly, I wonder (in a sense) if he did?
Nobody who ever sucked at his mother's breast could possibly have the complete lack of human empathy he has.

I have a theory that Serial Killers were rarely breast-fed or had some sort of attachment trauma early in life.

8. I hope thats not true
or that there are exceptions to the rule. I wasn't breast fed because of my allergy to lactose.

5. They have no proof of anything...only allegations, and speculation
and malicious libel.


They attack by making an allegation and then demanding the accused prove them wrong. Well that's not how it works in this country. You're innocent until proven guilty...but in typical Repuke fashion, everything is reversed. They make a claim, then they expect you to prove your innocence, rather then THEY proving their allegations are true.

The fact that they must attack using this method proves in and of itself that they have nothing, never did. Because there was never any wrongdoing or impropriety.

They're changing the direction from which they're attacking though, because most of their first vicious allegations were proven false when Andy passed away. They were saying in the very beginning that Andy wasnt' even sick, or if he was, it was not life threatening.

They're dug in so deep they can't go back the way they came. They'll go down with their sinking ship...straight to hell.

7. Hey, Robbie!
Is that your site? If so, why don't you just delete those horrific posts as soon as you see them. I wouldn't allow them on any site of mine (if I had any). They don't deserve to be heard and they are REALLY polluting the site beyond all reason.

If you keep responding to them, and keep allowing them to post their vile trash, it will probably continue indefinitely. Do you really want that? I'm so disgusted by these evil fucks.

9. Radio News America is not my site
I submit two Op/Eds a week to that site, but other than blog sponsorship I purchased I do not own it.

I know those posts can be vile and disgusting, but as much as people have to know the truth, they need to know the lies as well.

11. No worries
I requested for RNA to keep it open. I figure if they're as dumb as I think they are, then on one of those posts they will slip up and say something incriminating.

I say, keep the freepers talking.

13. I believe that some of them are paid agents of the GOP.
Where do you think all that "missing" Iraq war money went?

14. Amazingly depressing thread
But I did get one laugh from this post by EvilDUer

Steve,

I've been trying to figure something in my head and maybe you could help me out yea? When a person is insane, as you clearly are, do you know that you're insane? Maybe your just sitting around, reading guns and ammo, màsturbating in your own feces, do you just stop and go, Wow it is fucking amazing how crazy I really am? Yea? Do you guys do that?

Thanks!

-Evil DUer
