Freepers decide to rollover on their own
In a lengthy posting early Thursday morning, Jim Robinson, the operator of the California-based FreeRepublic.com, explained why he is now willing to allow information about the Internet user MD4Bush to become public.

Last October, MD4Bush used private e-mails on Free Republic's Web site to coax a former aide to Gov. Bob Ehrlich, Joe Steffen, into discussing the personal life of Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley.

On Wednesday, relying on a source familiar with the postings, the 11 News I-Team revealed the e-mail addresses associated with the MD4Bush account. They include "ryanrock2004@yahoo.com," which was used to open the account. That address was then changed to "rodoherty@mddems.org," and then changed again to "brianwaverly@yahoo.com."

The O'Doherty e-mail address is the same one listed to Ryan O'Doherty at the time he worked for the Maryland Democratic Party. O'Doherty has denied any connection to MD4Bush.

3. The truth is setting them free - LOL
So, why am I not concerned that the reporters finally got the email address info? Well, first of all, MD4Bush breached any agreement he may have had with Free Republic.

Number one, the very first post he made after registering was to NCPAC, so it's obvious he had intent and a targeted individual in mind from the very start. It's also now just as obvious that he had nefarious purposes in mind when he registered to FR posing as a conservative when he was actually an official Democrat mole. This is called playing games with his FR account which is against our rules.

Number two, he used FR to purposely plant false rumors.

Number three, he shared his password with one or more third parties.

Number four, he passed on the real life identity of one of our members along with his private mail communications to a third party (a Washington Post reporter) with the intent said reporter would publish said private material.

Number five, he then posted the same private mail messages to the open forum.

Number six, all of this appears to be a conspiracy with malicious intent to defame, libel, slander and defraud Steffen and Ehrlich. Using FR for criminal purposes is against our rules.

And so, no I'm not concerned that it's going public. As I said above, the fact that The Washington Post is working in concert with the Democrat Party in an attempt to bring down a sitting Republican Governor should be breaking news. And if the Democrat controlled committee is not interested and the MSM is not interested, then the story might as well break right here on Free Republic where MD4Bush and the Washington Post perpetrated the crime. The truth shall set you free.

If that's against their rules then every one of them ought to be banned! ;)

5. 'malicious intent to defame, libel, slander and defraud'
Guessing from the general contents of that shitpile website, that would be one of those crime-if-you're-a-Democrat/IOKIYAR things.
