VANITY: The "Truth" about JimRob and Free Republic according to BADJOE

LibertyPost.org | 10/10/03 | BADJOE (Slightly revised by JimRob)

[Jim Robinson]

Dear Free Republic Friends,

My old friend and brother-in-arms BADJOE has promised to warm the cockles of our hearts by publishing an expose (the truth about JimRob and Free Republic according to Joe) on the 18th of this month, which represents the one year anniversary of the date he last posted to FreeRepublic.com and started up with LibertyPost.org.

So, as I believe that only the truth can set you free, and based upon the stratergery of pre-emptive strike, I have a confession to make (before BADJOE makes it public):

I have poisoned the well.

By my sly innuendos behind the scenes.

By my intellectual ineptitude.

By not trusting those that brung me to the dance to bring me home.

By my biting every hand that fed me.

By my arrogance that causes me to think I did it all by myself.

By my stubborness not because of principle, but because of my lack of ability to see what is transpiring.

Evidenced by:

One would think that with half again as many Freepers. with a recovering economy, It would take a great deal less time to raise the necessary funds.

By this time in the June 2002 effort with a goal of $70,000 we had raised $73,000. Not because of who did the fundraising, but because the sense of purpose, of family, of comaraderie, was still present.

BADJOE rang the warning bell, but none heard.

Conclusion:

It is a sad day.

For what was once a great hope, a means of bringing together those who are willing to pay dearly in blood, sweat, and money to save this country, we all love, has been reduced to an asterisk.

So sayeth BADJOE as he promises to publish all this and much more on the 18th. He's been feverishly working on this "project" for one full year. In addition to the "truth about JimRob" BADJOE intends to further betray our trust placed in him by revealing the names of our moderators. And who knows what else?

I can hardly wait.

Is it the 18th yet? Tick, tock.

Thanks!

I guess I'll be the first one to admit I'm interested in what BADJOE has to say.

I haven't lurked here in a long time, let alone posted. But back when I was an active Freeper BADJOE was highly respected here. If he has dirt to dish then I would tend to assume he has a good reason until proven otherwise.

[MonroeDNA]

aww jeeze...give me a break.

BadJoe is a great guy. Your post was asinine.

[MonroeDNA]

Not to label you, or anything, but jeeze, man, chill.

"If God brings you to it - He will bring you through it."

Jesus said, "I didn't deserve this either, but I forgive you."

I stand with you, Jim Robinson.

BadJoe may be a great guy but he is still BadJoe.. Talk about asinine

Dang, you are about one arrogant egotistical sumb@tch.
I think I'll bop on over to the fundraiser thread and make a contribution!

Eagles Up, JimRob!

Maybe you missed the part in the original post; the word "betrayal". A good egg? Yea, right. The only good to come from it IMO was to bring to the surface the scum so it could be wiped away. Jim doesn't need "good eggs" like that, I think.

[Willie Green]

BadJoe may be a great guy but he is still BadJoe...

Well I don't know what made BadJoe go off the deep end...
but there was a thread over there where he was whining about JimRob banning posts from the racist site VDARE.
I wound up putting BadJoe on my "bozo filter".

#249!I goofed..pinged myself...;)

[Southflanknorthpawsis]

From what I remember about BADJOE, he seemed like a good egg. There's something disturbing about a thread like this attracting so many negative posts about a good person.

You really do need to catch up.

[Southflanknorthpawsis]

Like anyone gives a rat's ass.

LOL......ain't it the truth?

[MistyCA]

OK....so who is Badjoe? What's a moderator? and who gives a dang about this stuff anyhow?

Hey! LP people! Take a valium! It's pretty pathetic that you exist only to try to belittle people who are a whole lot more significant than you. Psssst! It's known as jealousy. A sin! LOL.

Tele Savalas?

[justshe]

WOW! Thank you, MonroeDNA!

[MistyCA]

LOL! Did you pay BadJoe to do this??????

Good evening, my friend,

I've had some run-ins with the "anti-Freeper" crowd of my own, of late. I wrote about that at the end of my latest column. (See below.)

The simple fact is, if you're not making a fair number of people angry, you're not having an effect. It is precisely because you have created a new and powerful institution that you find yourself attacked by ankle-biters. In the bigger scheme of things such attacks will do no real harm to you. But they DO guarantee that you ARE being effective.

"A man is known by his enemies, as well as his friends." By that standard, JimRob, your are a prince among men.

With deep respect,

Congressman Billybob
