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.

Truth be known, Jim rob has ejected Navy Vets that have stood by for the Bush "Road Map". He ejected, without cause, those that have stood up to the Bush Admin. policy in the ME. And further accused them of anti Jweish posts

btw: I fully expect to be now banned for this post. Jim rob take note

Well, where do we go if we're branded and banned from here? I don't want to end up talking smack to Fred Mertz over at Liberty. Quick, you gotta come up with some kind of SOMETHING to get us out of this mess!

Is BadJoe the head of LibertyPost?

Dear Dales:

I know you have retired for the night, but I wanted to make a comment anyway.

As soon as your name was "outed" as a mod back when, with the allegation that you were some wild eyed intemperate chap on a jihad to crush any dissenting opinions, I knew immediately that the allegations were BS, and someone had simply stripped some gears. You have a long posting history on this site, and I have never read anything of yours that was remotely consistent with any such characterization. I also know that if one if one attempts in good faith to be polite, honest, and thoughtful, one can post a very wide range of views on this site without any problem from the powers that be.

That has been my experience.

So, BadJoe is a cog in the 'Rat machine now?

May intestinal parasites find easy purchase amongs the convolutions of his GI tract...

[Chad Fairbanks]

Maybe we need an FR Detox Center? ;0)

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Wow. You are just the King of the Non-Sequitors tonight. What's up with that, Liberace?

[yonif]

But BadJoe isn't even banned, it seems. His profile is still there.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Will there be a shower? (I demand that it have digital temperature controls and a dimmer.)

Considering you've only been here a week, will anyone really give a s**t?

[Jim Robinson]

Yeah, well, seemed like the thing to do at the time. If we're gonna have bad things coming down the pike, might as well bring it out and get it over with.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Well, no. No showers, because it would remind us all of Breaking News about potential terrorist attacks. Can't have that... ;0)

[Central Scrutiniser]

Hi Mom! Interesting to see you posting again, out in the open.

Sure miss those posts from The Onion......

[Senator Pardek]

You ever post that photo again, and I'll sue you for definition of character.

Considering you've only been here a week, will anyone really give a s**t?

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Did you lisp when you said that? Just curious.

[No!]

Sure a lot of old names on this thread...

lot of FR memories...

So here I am. One of the fabled Texas Chainsaw Moderators, which always struck me as a laughable bit of demogoguery

That was you?

Oooo.. Oooo... I bet I know who the other one is!

I bet it's that Hugh Akston. I haven't seen him post for a while either!
