Are there really cloaked DUers in freeperville?
I've always wondered this. Don't want to go there and get slime in my computer to find out, but I've always wondered how many DUers or other liberals are at freeperville, but gliding just under the radar?

3. As a poster?
Or just lurking?

Because I have, in the past, read things there, but have never registered as a user and would not. I just get a sick feeling READING the stuff alone.

4. Tee hee.
It's funny when you post stuff HERE that flushes out the freepers, too (general "you" not necessarily YOU). I've done it a few times, without meaning to.

It's like "oh lookee there, got one!"

7. Must be DEEEEEP undercover
Edited on Tue Nov-23-04 09:28 PM by Moonbeam_Starlight
which I always admire, but cannot do.

I actually know someone who is VERY deep into the republican PARTY (for real) and passes themselves off as a republican, but votes for the Dems every time. They have gotten themselves to be chair of the repub party for their COUNTY, no less. I get emails from time to time about his progress. It takes a certain fortitude to be able to go that deep undercover and not vomit at the types of things he has to say and "support." The thing is, he is a crappy party chair, but quite popular personally, so they are loath to get rid of him, but he has basically reduced the county repub party in his county to a mess that experiences no success. He "forgets" to do things, shuts down good ideas, messes up lines of communication, etc.

Mission accomplished, I would say. He acknowledges it is evil, but decided to do it after a Dem in his county was found out to be a republican posing as a Dem and rising up in the party structure just to screw things up. He was relatively anonymous back then, so he just dove right into his county repub party.

15. I was considering doing just that...
for my University's College Republicans.

I was going to go there with a Bush/Cheney button on and try and build some clout amongst them and then fuck up the system from the inside. :D But alas, I didn't have the heart to even pretend I was a young republican. :puke:

27. Actually, I believe it's because you DO have a heart you
can't do that. I sometimes wonder about those we refer to as freepers and fundies and whatever. Do they have any compassion at all?

25. Wow, don't think I could pull it off. No, I take that back, I'm sure
I couldn't pull that off.

Yeah, for some reason "we" have had lots of infiltrators in "our" political and activist movements. Very effective. Not sure if we should fight that "fire with fire" type of battle or not.

9. I'd like to know who posted at this site:
Edited on Tue Nov-23-04 09:31 PM by TroubleMakerToo
http://www.theparentperspective.com/boards/thread-view.asp?threadid=319288&MessageID=2374312#2374312

I know that site and I know they have some very rabid righties there. It's amazing to me that that site is also known for not banning people there unless it's a vicious attack or scam. Strange people.

What cracked me up is when the so-called "Admin" on the site admitted to being a Nazi:

http://www.theparentperspective.com/boards/thread-view.asp?threadid=319288&MessageID=2374562#2374562

This quote had me rolling my eyes:

"Still, I don't mind being proven wrong on that score. A truly intelligent and well-spoken debater is always a welcome addition. Consider the gauntlet thrown. I'll take any further insults, gibes, pot-shots and tenth-grade penis talk as a concession. Go."

They also have a Righty board there with several members (GWB4Prez, ScroolesFrance, Kaiquinn) and others that are rabid Righties. Apparently they think Mr. Monkey Man is the next Messiah. LOL!

At any rate - that whole site is *really* wierd.

18. You're not kidding!~
Some of the things they say over there are downright horrible. Gays corrupt children, comparing gays to serial killers and whatnot. That Liberals are UN-American because they don't "support our troops" because they are against the war.

that he has over 1000 posts there.

Now that's some serious undercover work....I don't see how he can do it. I can't even read those posts without getting disgusted.

11. I don't go there.
I have been part of a little mailing list for many years and I have watched once-reasonable people, whom I once considered friends, deteriorate into frothing, drooling, intractable FreePeeZ. Scolds. People who attempt to beat you bloody with their personal vision of "morality", which reads like delusion and sociopathy.

Nah. I don't go there. I don't need to. In the same way I just don't need to piss on a charged electric fence.

51. I was on a "I've got gun" post on DU.
They took my post and others as a threat. They also misquoted me and others.

I have to say it was an enlightening experience.

Yes lurking Freepers who ever they are out there I am a liberal and have pistols, rifles, shotguns and a black powder cannon. All are 100% legal.

oh fucking well is right

aren't THEY always bragging about their guns and posing in PICTURES with them (the posing in pictures part is quite retarded)???

Then who are THEY to talk???

God. Please save us from such colossal idiocy and hypocrisy.

I am an armed liberal, too. But I don't get them out and carress them constantly, nor do I name my guns or pose in pictures with them.

13. I signed up for an I.D. but never posted...
I pretty much post what's on my mind on DU, and that's the result of being pretty much in alignment with DU's "core principles."

However, every time I thought about posting on FreeRepublic, it felt too much like "espionage."

Not that espionage wouldn't be fun...I just couldn't, in all seriousness, make a "pro-Bush" post. The topics on FreeRepublic that don;t require some form of "agreement" are very, very few.

but don't give a shit about the kids after they are born? Don't abort but don't accept welfare or hand outs either. *shrug* I've never understood that kind of backwards thinking.

22. Don't have to write a anti-Bush post to stir things up.
Write one about anything having to do with religion. :-) You could say something about "All those people who don't care about abortion/gay marriage/Arlen Spector better get on board with the rest of the REAL party if you know what's good for you!" All the ants will come storming out of the anthill and start attacking one another. Sit back and watch the show.

41. Damn, that site is so dry ...
... the few times I've been there, it's all been right leaning, cut & paste news stories. No real dialog or stimulating discussion.

... If you're into that stuff, there are several other right-wing leaning discussion forums that will at least engage you in an argument.

55. I used to do it but
I hated having to be so stealthy. Besides, arguing with a freeper is like playing chess with first graders - you'll win but it's an empty victory. (no disrespect intended toward first graders).

I still read it once in a while just to feel superior. I still remember the first time...some freep said the two people he hated the most were Jimmy Carter and Bill Moyers. Good God.
