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.

I'm not paranoid. It is that when I see BadJoe leaving this forum and turning into a bitter enemy of FR....and he was put in charge of fundraising with access to credit card numbers, I feel a bit queasy

Don't worry Babe .. Joe would never do anything like that .. he just has a bug about the Mods.

Personally, I don't care who they are myself

Actually, I just noticed Antiwar isn't linked from the homepage any more. I'm a little out of touch ;)

[WIMom]

It's been my pleasure to work with you, and know that through all my issues, you've been a rock for me. Love you lots....

[Chad Fairbanks]

Good thing, too, cuz I'm a moderator, so stay on my good side, Missy... ;0)


Oh wait. I'm not a mod. At least I dont' THINK I am. I could be, though, so you never know... bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Ok. I'm not. Happy now? ;0)

[Jim Robinson]

I'm very proud of that picture (and of the events that transpired on that unforgetful day) and very thankful for BadJoe. Free Republic would not be what it is today without his selfless dedication to the cause. Very sad that he is gone. Even sadder that he appears to have turned on us.

Met you, on FR, long time back. Good to know you are still here...and doing a good job as a Mod!

[Jim Robinson]

An old and dear friend and great patriot.

[Brian S]

Geesh Jim...me thinks you are spending to much time over on LibertyPost.

Stay home...where you belong!!!

[JustAmy]

Please .... do not do this!!!

This measly buck came from the mother of a serviceman killed in Iraq. She is unemployed at this time and apologized for this amount. IMHO any amount is appreciated.
Her family has made sacrifices for this country!!

[TomServo]

The charges of nazi-moderators is unwarranted.

Agreed. If anything, they're very lenient.

[WIMom]

I remember you! and know, it's killing me not to post on the fundraiser threads!

[Mo1]

Don't worry ... you still scare me .. *L*

Smooches

[Chad Fairbanks]

Excellent point, JustAmy - it's not the amount - it's the thought, gesture, etc.. behind the gift that really counts...

:0)

[Neets]

Thank you too WI!!! I am now seeing Jim has made nothing but excellent choices!

[Sabertooth]

I've changed my name and am posting as someone else.

Sorry, I don't believe you...

Don't worry ... you still scare me .. *L*

Cool ;0)

Smooches

That's the spirit! ;0)

[Humidston]

I'm serious Jim! I know one of the mods and I know some of the stuff that goes on - under the radar screen. So I'm confused as to how a person who's been gone a year would be privy to information you developed four months ago.

Color me skeptical. This is bullcrap. (Pardon the language.)

Check FReepmail... I have "issues."

[RightWingMama]

This is very sad. When I changed my monthly contribution, BADJOE was very kind. My employer even bought a chair from his company for me......sigh, so sad.

I am very grateful for you JimRob and all you do. Keep up the good work.

[Mo1]

MOM!!! .. {{{HUGS}}} .. missed you
