Is this the Operation Chaos people?

HSW is in the glossary section.

You bring up Op. Chaos. Operation Chaos (Chaos!) will be added.

Is this the Operation Chaos people?

Just the opposite. This started in 2000, and is a reference to a book by the same name (JimRob wrote the intro). Hillary's media arm had an entire division (later became the New Politics group) who where early adopters of viral marketing techniques for political purposes. One of their strategies where to visit blogs and message boards (as well as face-to-face activities) posing as Conservatives to create doubt and discord. They would post false rumors, fake outrage, etc. Here is some background: http://www.amazon.com/Hillarys-Secret-War-Conspiracy-Journalists/dp/0785260137?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1182020141&sr=1-1 http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1201206/posts http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1693821/posts

May I suggest "Snoq". This was a misspelling of the late, great Tony Snow's last name, inadvertently posted as his daily thread headline. (May he rest in Peace).

Also, "Barbey Frank" ... an inadvertent misspelling of Barney Frank.

Could you add HOLY CARP!
Posted it once accidentally on the Levin thread and it kind of stuck.

Thanks for the thread!

“Throw (insert name) under the Bus”

[martin_fierro]

lol

[batter]

HOLY CARP!

Fessing up, eh?... Do you have the link to the original thread?

[batter]

I’ll see if I can work in the “under the bus”. It’s just so full under there. I suppose that’s often followed by “this isn’t the [name here], I knew”.

[batter]

Thanks. See post#31.

This brought back many memories for a long time FReeper!

There is a subset of FReepers that mostly discuss issues concerning the Balkans. It is active (and contentious) to this day but started during the Clinton misadventures in the Balkans ensuring an Islamic beachhead in Europe in Kosovo in 1998/99.

There was one particular FReeper "Fusion" whose dramatic prose and lofty predictions regarding the Balkans and Russia earned him scorn and derision. He was eventually banned but he had his fans!

Perhaps the best thread about his can be found here: Fusion's Fractured Fairy Tale

Perhaps there should be FReeper niches added to your list!

I’m thinking you need to look this over.

Some of us ladies have some rules too!

[netmilsmom]

Did I miss “I’d hit that”?

That line and the graphics that go with it make me laugh!

[PGalt]

Thanks very much for posting. Ping.

[Fudd Fan]

I can try to find it but not sure how long that would take. IIRC it was over a year ago... but I’ll see what I can do!

[Fudd Fan]

Well that was easier than I thought. Here’s the original post.

The guilty/not guilty lexicon is traditionally associated with when a female teacher engages in sexual activity with a male student. If the teacher is physically attractive then male FReepers tend to comment that they wish they had teachers like her, and apply the not guilty label.

The other spelling “guiTLy” simply means ugly in any context, and is particularly difficult for the human eye to pick up while reading. I prefer guiTLy because I feel a measure of shame applying innocence to someone who has committed statutory rape. Twenty years down the road whem I’m a vice-presidential candidate, and people are scrutinizing these threads I can point out “no, I said she wasn’t guiTLy!”

[batter]

I need a quick vote. I've seen the "not guilty" term applied to both the attractive and unattractive teacher. Any consensus?

Is the attractive teacher guilty based on looks (easily seduce hormone raging students) or not guilty based on the jury not paying attention to the case (too busy ogling the defendant)?
