Freepers work to undermine Obama via the campaign site

FYI: I found this browsing FR, and reported this to the Obama-Biden campaign.

please explain.

and contact the Obama campaign about it.

The Freepers have decided to join BarackObama.com to be assigned to a neighborhood and counter our efforts:

Let's do some "Community Organizin'" to sink Obambi's Campaign! Takes 5 minutes! Do it from home!!

Hello fellow FReepers,

Are you tired of Barack Obambi and the lamestream media tearing apart our SarahCuda?

Barack Obama has just presented us with a GOLDEN opportunity to destroy his Get Out The Vote efforts - all from the comfort of our computer chair.

Do you have 5 minutes to spare? You will be anonymous - and HIGHLY EFFECTIVE!

Here are the details:

Barack Obama has just started an on-line way for his "supporters" to actively participate in his Get Out The Vote drive. It is called "Neighbor-to-Neighbor". Essentially, you "register" on his web site and they provide you with a list of all the Rats in your neighborhood that they want you to contact.

Now here's the good part....once you register, they mark your area as 'covered' and 'taken'.

So....why don't we FReepers 'cover' and 'take' Obambi's areas before the Rats get to them?

Again, you will be COMPLETELY anonymous to them.

Interested?

Here are the steps to make it happen:

1) Go to http://my.barackobama.com/n2n

2) Create a new user account - BUT, use an anonymous email account - just make one up - but have it appear "legitimate" - like mike.cooper1384@hotmail.com. Create your password - and then use your REAL zip code. Click 'Sign Up'

3) Now you are presented with a screen that asks for your address. Put in a fake 'number', but an accurate Street Name from around your neighborhood. Then put in the correct City, State, and Zip Code. Put in a fake phone number, but one that has the correct area code. Click 'This is Correct'

4) Click 'Next', then 'Next', then 'I'm Ready'

5) Click 'OK' and you will be assigned 25 Demonrat voters that 'Nobody else will be able to talk to' 6) Click 'Print Walk Lists' so that you can see the Rats from your neighborhood

Congratulations! You have just hurt the Obambi campaign...AND know who in your neighborhood to keep a wary eye on! :-)

Pass this to all of your FReeper lists. It's time to kick some tail!

I go to our local Obama office this PM. Emails might take awhile to filter through a system. Hand delivered might get some attention faster.

I contacted the site, but got the form letter, stating it might take sometime to get back to me. Thank you!

Free-Republic has gained some national notoriety with the MSB (main stream bloggers) and even with the MSM. Try alerting bloggers like those at Huff post or kos since they are checked regularly for tidbits by the MSM (that is how the babygate stuff got attention)!

the way it looks to me. You sign up you print up all your own material so there is no cost to Obama, and if your next door neighbor signed up they would get the same info you get.....I do not think anybody markes the area as done no reason to....it is not like he will lose money by doing the same area 2x ..

Reading the description of the program on Obama's website, it looks like they mark the neighbors assigned to you as "taken", and they are not given to anyone else.

If you don't visit them within a certain amount of time (I think it's a week or two) then they expire and go back into the pool for someone else to visit, so what they're doing won't permanently remove anyone from the list, but it could slow things down.

representatives have access to a different list which is used for canvassing which is a restricted access list.

Problem for these freeps is they may be running afoul of the law for even attempting such a disruption.

Isn't this similar to the jamming of get-out-the-vote phone lines? I think people were convicted for that.

The phone jamming charges involved interference with a public service or utility. Other charges included interference with an election and harassment.

I can see where the right prosecutor could convince a jury that it is. I would consider it to be so.

To the credit of SOME over there, they even recognize that this is just beyond the pale and well... dishonorable. Kudos to those who refuse to go along with this. I'd surely never do the same to the other side... it's not even just dirty, it's unpatriotic, blocking people from hearing information and making up their own minds about things. Sad.

They talk about her like she's some kind of god or something. A week and a half ago I doubt most of them knew anything about her, if they even heard of her in the rirst place.

of course they forget that subverting the vote and therefore the Constitution of the Unites States is not only UnAmerican, but a treasonable offense. It is a crime against our democracy.

I know I know, I used too many "big words."

it cost Obama nothing ...you print your list for niegbors based on your address..you print you own flyers.....your area is not marked off as done. So if someone else next door to you signs up they get the same info.

As I understand it, when you're given a list they become unavailable to anyone else.

However, if you don't contact them within a certain time period they expire, are put back into the pool, and then can be given to someone else. So they are unavailable to others for a period of time.

Don't give them ideas.

I guess the Bush economy has given these guys a lot of extra free time.

such nasty tricks by pathetic people...REPIGS!

I sent it to them through the "watchdog" email address at the Fight the smears site.

This is likely to get deleted, but, from the tenor of the OPer and some of the responses, they're gonna follow through with this.

I can get more information over to the watchdog email address, too. Won't hurt to have more than one email concerning this matter.

:hi:

I'd love to send this

the regular site, where I'm sure it'll be buried for a time. I'll remember this in the future. Thanks!

the practice of joining a rival campaign for the purpose of disrupting it and gathering info for the opposing campaign. I'm sure that various campaigns have been doing this for decades.

I'm also equally as sure that somewhere in this wide America, an enterprising Obama supporter has also had the idea of joining the McCain Campaign for the purposes of gathering information to pass onto the Obama Campaign, too.

And I think they're right: This time, the media are not going to be fooled by the vote rigging.

If they hear from more than one of us, from multiple angles, the more likely any such vunerabilities can be vetted and neutralized.

politics and calling it a liberal tactic. Are they new to the site?

Lie, cheat, steal, core repuke traits. They have no shame or dignity. Whatever it takes to win.

Than the cat who's advocating it. Most of the responses are telling the guy to shove it.

send this to all of them. No telling who might want to jump on this....

If that fails, maybe we need to vounteer for McAss...;-)

They know their candidates are complete losers that no one wants to vote for, so the only thing they can do is try to get people not to vote for Obama. What losers. Why don't they just wear a big sign and walk around the neighborhoods with a big sign saying "McCain/Palin: Big Losers We have nothing good to say about them, so all we can do is silly trickery born out of complete desperation."

The Obama campaign is not stupid and they have controls in effect for this. I will not share what these are on a message board - but TRUST THEM! They fully anticipated this type of crap and their silliness will NOT hurt this campaign.

thanks.

they are not as stupid as the freepers would like to think. Let them play with them. It doesn't matter.

and write them off. In the mean time, give them a list of registered Republican voters to 'watch.'

On edit: After thinking about it, some registered Republicans on a list could make an issue of it so just like they did, provide fictitious names and addresses for them to chase down. For every bad address they give to the Obama campaign, they get 25 in return.

What a profitable venture. :rofl:

Hopefully, this will be looked into asap.

It left me feeling sick to my stomach. It reminded me of being in middle school...mmmm.. maybe that was the message meant by using the Walter Reed Middle School pic during mclame's speech..

It also reminded me that half the population's IQ is under average and we all know where they congregate.

I hope the Obama campaign realizes this and takes appropriate action.

We knock on every door and leave a door hanger on every door the day before election day. However I am forwarding this to the Obama campaign so they are aware that the GOP is planning dirty tricks.

But there's nothing to worry about. I would imagine 98 percent of freeps sit in front of their computer all day, waving their fist at what they read. They talk a mean game, but are too lazy to get out there and really do something.

Like Obama has said, they just don't get it. They can try to win with tricks and negativity, but most people are smart enough to see through. And as their master Sarah Palin has said to them, community organizing is a bunch of bull - I'm sure they believe it since it's right from god to Palin's mouth. The cognitive dissonance alone will be their undoing.

Our sincerity in talking with our friends and neighbors will win out over their silly attempt to game the system. And honestly - can you imagine being the neighbor of a true freeper? What a pain in the ass that would be. I'm sure their neighbors have already heard about their love for Bush and desire to effectively give the Bush policies a third term anyway.

Or that taking advantage of the supposedly innocent Democrats (per their scenario) is something to pat themselves on the back about. They probably call themselves "Christian" too.

...and you can smell a Freeper a mile away when you do Obama work.

Let them sign up on Obama's site. I signed up on McCain's... I want to know when he'll be around so I can protest...

Are fucking *VILE*

What sorry excuses for human beings. Anytime I follow a link to that site and then read their comments I feel like I need a shower - they are that gross.

effective, also?

they are going to use all out dirty tricks this time
