I'm planning some Freep.com espionage...who's with me?
I want to sign up on Freep.com and present a detailed, thoughtful analysis of why Bush is a Lousy president and a threat to the world, and ask them to prove me wrong. I'm going to pose myself as a conservative who voted for Bush in 2000, who is now genuinely concerned with Bush's policies. I figure they'll take me more seriously that way. Do I have to post a bunch of times before I can start a topic like you do here? Because I can't stand reading their semi-literate garbage long enough to start my own topic. Can someone suggest a good username for me to log on as? If this works, I'll post a link to the thread so you can follow me on my wacky adventure.

2. And since they seem to watch this board pretty carefully,
they will know it's you.

Besides that, there's no point in luring more of them over here.

3. No offense Kid but since you've already posted your plan
you may as well just use your own username. The denizens of FR read this board with regularity.

19. Who knows...

Who knows if they read every post, but since your subject line contains the word "Freep," you can be pretty certain one of them will.

5. An exercise in futility...
You won't change any minds over there, and you'll be booted in a matter of minutes.

And, since freepers check DU with regularity, you've just "banged the drum in search of a fugitive," as it were -- they know you're coming.

Good show of spirit, though.

9. I'm not trying to change minds and I don't care if I get booted...
I'll just post the one thing and then sit back and watch the monkeys scratch their heads.

7. Well..#1: If you tell us what your username is you'll...
...also be telling the Freepers who lurk here.
#2: Sooner or later you'll get tired of their idiocies and tell them
to go Fuck Themselves.. But Good Luck anyways... :)

10. helps to speak a little Freepish. (RW ghetto language)
vey series (very serious)
I have to take a shower (code for something big is going down)
rats (that'd be us)
x42 (that'd be Big Dog Clinton)
the Beast (that'd be his wife)

and others that would betray to much familiarity with the dark side...

11. Please don't torment the Detroit Free Press!
Freep.com is the Detroit Free Press. You're thinking of freerepublic.com.

29. Yes, this is my first day on the Internet. You got me.
I've never used it until today. That's why I was able to successfully join a message board and learn enough about another, more obscure, message board to invade their bandwidth with my America-hating ideology. :eyes: Give me a break. And as for your quote of mine, I merely thought that if I disguised myself as a moderate conservative they might be less inclined to string me up. Don't be a jerk.

16. ZOT!!!!!!! That's their sign to one another that a non-freepie/creepie

Actually, I think its kind of clever and 'wish we had thought of it first.

23. a lot of us have tried that. It's a waste of time
they'll zot you in two seconds

You might as well argue with schizophrenics about the men in black who are trying to impregnate them.

Freepers are insane. They're not interested in facts or argument. They're interested in hatred, nothing more.

27. Why don't you try your post here and see what results?
I believe more Freepers read our site than their own so you will get the same results.
