Sounds like your typical left-wing smear campaign.
Sure does and Parry did put into print what he intended to do. So he sure can't be complaining about what he himself plotted, planned and then did to 'Republicans', as being the actions of FReepers.
Not that I dismiss the notion of the planting of liberal/independent moles over time on FR for the sole purpose of pulling off an attack. I expect to see them more often as the next election cycle moves into full swing. And the liberals have all that stimulus money they have taken to fund the next election cycle.
Where is the royal order of alhpahood list?
***I’m not sure. The first I heard of the term was on the lexicon thread.

Some alpha freepers I can think of would be JimRob (of course), dougfromupland, trixie, kristinn, buckhead, Tony Snow (RIP), Duncan Hunter, alamo-girl, betty boop, sunken civ,
maybe icwhatudo, polarik, pissant, Jeff Head, Pukin Dog (though he opused out too many times), MiaT,
I’m not sure there ever was an official list....
I recognize some of those alphas.
I personally know Danae and have found her to be of the highest standards of FR integrity.
SB, you on the other hand I find evasive, antagonistic and a trouble maker.
We in the NW are trying to create a unified front in an area of the country filled with political hacks who enjoy playing political games. We in Portland are no longer playing games.
You seriously think Letterman apologized?
Thanks for posting this!!

Need a “Royal Order of the Alpha Freeperhood” fame wall.
How do we determine who’s an alpha? Leave it up to JimRob? (Or, Jim Thompson, as he was called in the media earlier today)
At least Chris got the first name right?
Not sure who the Admins are any more, but having walked in their shoes, let me just say they have a very hard job. The only difference between what this buffoon did and what has been done time and before is that he was dumb enough to brag about it.
The next time you (you in the anonymous 'everyone reading this' sense) see another one of the whispering campaigns around here, which I assume still happen, I hope that they remember that the Admins are conservative volunteers trying to keep things civil and rid this site of racists, trolls, and agents provocateurs.
Right. And also, the point I was making about the admins on the Malia thread, was that they removed three separate threads...so the Chris Parry lie that was repeated on PMSNBC was that that thread got put back up, when it didn't - it was removed and stayed down, and then two others were removed...again, we're talking about 300,000+ and probably one post/minute...don't know how many article submissions/day, etc.
So anyone that comes out with guns blazin’ against the volunteer admins doesn't know what they're talking about...I mean heck, last I checked the budget ‘round here, I didn't see any fat slush funds for all the admins...it's not like we've got the 0bama army throwing us illegal funds from overseas!...so Chris Parry can stuff that fact in his little dark fact finding arse...
The other discrepancy/bordering on lie in Parry's article was his attempt to make it look like dozens or hundreds of these posts came in from unique posters...that somehow we're all racists over here...asinine...why didn't Parry ID the posters at the beginning...of the 4 he cites there were 3 unique posters only...heck, I talked with two of them and they regret what they did...I scolded them in private notes to them...but that is not reflective of this FR, as so many can attest to.
So Parry was over there on KOS bragging, ‘oh I went over to FR as ‘ChrisParry’ and tried to engage ‘them’ about what I did that was so offensive - you know, reporting on something that ‘they admit’ happened.
What do we admit Parry - you goofball and way worse, you bigoted, biased reporter that feigns objective journalistic professionalism? Did we admit that there are occasional over the top vile comments on these pages? Do you admit that our admins remove them as quickly as they knew of them - and that they represent a tiny fraction of the comments here?
I say it may be time to go over the KOS and take the battle there - not sure...depends on my stomach and how much time I think it wise to commit to this.
