Seriously, after November 4th, we all knew it was a matter of time before FR went a little too far

It wasn't long after the election when you could see it coming. The thought of a black man in the White House is just too much for their primitive brains to handle, and it was only a matter of time before the shit started hitting their fan over there.


First there was Richard Poplawski, the Pittsburgh cop killer, who was a poster on FR - though an infrequent one.

Then, there was Scott Roeder, the abortion doctor killer, who posted on many RW blogs. There were many FR posts following the murder that were praising Roeder as a hero.

Then, there was the Holocaust Museum Shooter... whose antisemitic diatribes were found all over the FR site and which had JimRob scrubbing like crazy for a few days.

You can only be a haven for Timothy McVeigh-wannabe nutjobs for so long before it comes back to bite you in the ass.


I thought it would be something more tangible than their bigoted posts about the President's children... but I understand the sensational nature of that.


The bottom line is that there is a sizeable portion of FR that is stockpiling weapons for what they think will be the great "awakening" of the American people. There are open calls for violent overthrow, a la Honduras. They openly question the legitimacy of the Obama Presidency, and so in their warped minds, anything that removes him from power is justified.


Right now... there's a Timothy McVeigh out there plotting something... we all know there is. And dollars-to-donuts, he's likely a regular contributor at FreeRepublic.

It's time for the MSM to shine a light on these little cockroaches.... and for Janet Napolitano to revive her memo on the rightwing extremists being a threat.

3. This story is getting more and more exposure.
Hopefully the connection of FR to the people you mentioned will soon be getting exposure also. Maybe some sunlight will clean out the cockroaches.

5. If you read their comments you see that they feel unjustly attacked
and are bound and determined to retaliate. One thread had numerous email addresses posted to use to not protest what was said there, but to protest what they see as a biased media not reporting that the Vancouver paper reporter also posts at Kos. That's it. No apologies, no deleted posts. They only want to be where conservatives love to be, perceived as a victim.

4. This new Tim McVeigh at least reads FR on a regular basis
and likely posts there some if not often. But rest assured the newest Tim McVeigh is out there and each day that passes takes us one day closer to when this guy will act.

6. And to think, roaches are smart enough to avoid the light.
Doesn't say much for the Freepers that roaches are smarter than they are.

8. The problem with FR is even on the issues that are frustrating.
Edited on Sun Jul-12-09 10:17 PM by RandomThoughts
Things like the economic situation, they want to blame the government, when the fault for the most part is somewhere else.

Just like evil's biggest trick was to convince people it does not exist.

The people that want to run societies try to do the same thing by having a false face of a government so people get mad at government, then the people can just switch the government without new policies. And some still in our government are that front man for those other interest.

That is why pointing out and going after the secret groups that are manipulating things are important, not just politicians, but those that support them also. Shinning a light and expanding looking into the 'family' also in private sector groups would be a good thing.

It is not a coincidence that the Wallmart guy got a medal of freedom from Bush 41, he had the same ideas as the Bush clan, and it is not a coincidence that he was welcomed into China. The Bush crowd liked China's form of government.

Just look at the arrogance of the bonuses, it is plain to see.

Edit: and they have way to much anger and hate.

9. Right up there is Fox News and the inuendo of such as Glen Beck and others.
They get wilder every day. FR has plenty of company, there is plenty of poison being spread around. There is no way to be prepared for this, other than not be shocked or feign shock when it happens.

10. All the more reason
to abide in Peace. Shine enough light and this type of hatred will simply ooze away.

Yes, I have stars in my eyes.

16. About time the MSM exposed the crazies
Finally this is getting some attention. The right-wing talkshows must be closely watched as they instigate the dangerous freeper types. I hope that the SS is monitoring them, along with the many "scary" websites out there. The extreme right-wing is getting way too much credibility. Crazies like Rush, Beck, Savage, and their ilk need to be exposed for what they are in the MSM; not just ignored, hoping they will go away.

Recommended.

20. I live near a town that
has the Remington Arms factory in it and I know someone who works there who says they're working overtime to provide all the guns they need to supply those who think the new president is going to take them away.

And, where do their vapid little brains get that idea? Yeah, we know.

21. i can't understand how any adult
could possibly think calling an eleven year old child "ghetto trash" is ok.
especially since that 11 year old had led a far more privileged life than most of the idiots at FR. well, we know they aren't smart.
