Eric Alterman Indicts Free Republic!!!

C-SPAN-Deaux Book TV ^ | March 1, 2003 | The Beloved Deb

[Deb]

An hour ago on C-SPAN's "Book TV" uber-puke Eric Alterman went on a semi-coherent tirade about Free Republic.

While in the process of flacking his book..."The Myth of Liberal Bias" (or sumpin like that), he claimed that, during the Florida recount, the saint-like members of this forum posted the phone numbers and home addresses of the Florida Supremes for the expressed purpose of harassment and/or "whatever". The "whatever" was obviously the suggestion of violence.

He also said Free Republic was repsonsible for the flood of Republican activists who descended on the state and therefore was responsible for the Bush presidency.

This is one powerful place, Gumbas. Congratulate yourselves...the left-wing bows to your awesome strength.

The source of his tirade seemed to be his book which might be worth checking out. Just figure out how to do it without actually paying money for it.

Another fact he flung at his tiny, badly-dressed book store audience, was that people came to Free Republic and stayed for 5+ hours, making us an unbeatable force since Liberals suffer from ADD and can't stay with anything longer than the average bowel movement. (I paraphrased that last bit)

Muhahahahahahahahaha.

Here are stories about this leftist Clinton buttkisser --- CLICK.

" . . . singlehandedly Saving Western Civilization. . . . ."

If "W" succeeds in Gelding Islamic Terrorism, Western Civilization MAY owe JimRob more than We can EVER repay Him!

FR WAS "W's" "Angel(s) in the Whirlwind"---; Without FR, AlGore would be Representing us against Al-Queda!!

JimRob's FR MAY HAVE altered the course of Western Civilization!!

HEADY STUFF!!

He said the "stickiness" factor appeared in a New York Times Monday column, which I never doubted. The only thing about his statement that's an obvious lie is the "5+ hours". Five-plus hours out of six, maybe. That I'll believe.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

He also said Free Republic was repsonsible for the flood of Republican activists who descended on the state and therefore was responsible for the Bush presidency.

FR is also responsible for "Sore Loserman" and "Get out of Cheney's house."

It don't get no better than that.

[Deb]

Love the "Alterman vs Cockburn cat-fight".

I sometimes confuse him with Jonathan Alter, another hideous left-wing mutant.

[Sub-Driver]

and only 100K strong!

[katnip]

Nothing beat the plane pulling the "Surrender Gorethy" sign.

I wish I could find a picture of it.

[jackbill]

Has anyone seen Eric Alterman and Joe Conason at the same time?

[Deb]

I expected him to drag out the old slander that the Washington chapter of FR "scared Al Gore's children" when they chanted "Get out of Cheney's house!" all night, but he disappointed me. Maybe it's in the book.

[swheats]

Oh you have to do cable modem. Blink and you're there.

You'd be surprised at the number of FReepers who have ADD, and who some of them are. Ever hear that people with ADD have the ability to hyper-focus when they are interested in something?

[Brad’s Gramma]

We're looking into DSL.

Well......this past week I was SUPPOSED to be looking into DSL.

Gulp.

[TC Rider]

..was that people came to Free Republic and stayed for 5+ hours, making us an unbeatable force..

people leave?

[Dan(9698)]

>>>...FR is also responsible for "Sore Loserman" and "Get out of Cheney's house."

Also for "I don't care what you say,

We're going to bomb them anyway."

.....(Alterman) claimed that, during the Florida recount, the saint-like members of this forum posted the phone numbers and home addresses of the Florida Supremes ......(and that) Free Republic was reponsible for the flood of Republican activists who descended on the state and therefore was responsible for the Bush presidency.

That's all he credited us with? That only skims the surface of our accomplishments.

Not only that, Eric ain't seen nothing yet. And that's a promise.

[dware]

Anyone got Eric's phone number? he he he

I was doing a bit. Work with me.

I'll take it out of my local library. If I remember to return it on time, I won't even have to pay a fine.

[anniegetyourgun]

Yeah, and I haven't called you a name in a long time. Let me get to work on that.
