One post on an account set up in 2003. Think somebody's playing with us?
==
That was The Bev.
"Hence, whoever got the cashier's checks for Andy has an existing account at the bank per my conversation yesterday."
Could that account be in the name of John Hopkins?
lol, some of the FReeper jargon sounds really outlandish at first. MeekOneGOP is a FReeper, and from what I know, he's in charge of the "Viking Kittens". The VKs are basically troll hunters her on FR, and they post lots of pics of cats in menacing positions so as to scare away any trolls they come upon. It can be quite humorous. They are also partial to a certain Led Zeppelin tune...
There's also something called the ZOT that is often inflicted upon trolls. As long as you stay within this thread you're in absolutely no danger of being zotted. If you venture outside just don't go starting any horribly irrelavant, flaming, illegible or otherwise idiotic threads, especially if it's your first ever post on FR or in the wrong forum category. None of that seems to apply to you anyway, so I'm guessing you'd survive. ;-)
Labels are very limiting. I do not want to get into a political debate here, as that's not the nature of this thread. I am for socialized medicine, against gun control, strongly in support of our troops and ensuring they are taken care of, against our current foreign policy. I can debate (and have) extensively with both sides, but right now I am just interested in this Andy situation. I merely mentioned my left leaning nature, in order to make the point that not all liberals are suckered into this sort of stuff. I also hope that Andy reads this, so he will realize he has damaged the cause and, in doing so, demonstrated a hypocrisy I wish he had not. Thanks.
Bev, why you've chosen tonight to show up and tell us your story, I have no idea.
But I do have one question? Why have you and your organization not pursued a lawsuit against Mr. Stephenson. He has slandered you and your group for some time and I would think it doesn't help your organization's credibility to have your former right-hand man all over the internet naming cancerous tumors after you and stuff.
You should be respectful to Bev... I'm sure she has Scamdy stories, just have to be honestly nice sometime.
She is Not the Enemy.
Note her sign-up date: since Feb. 26, 2003--long before any of us here had ever heard of Bev Harris--thus lending legitimacy to it being THE Bev Harris. Then check her posts in forum: none until tonight, which means she has been until a silent lurker until tonight.
Maybe PJ could get her on the DUFU pinglist. :)
now you've confuserated me even more. I'll just stick with the Andy thing and not dip my unmanicured toes in other waters. heh.
Maybe she's trying to put togethe a case against Undie, and we have more evidence sitting right here than she could find anywhere else!
I think Ms. Harris is speed_addiction's mystery lady. Does anyone remember him talking about her? Somewhere in this long thread.
I corresponded with several members of Free Republic to get input about voting machines. In the original online version of the Black Box Voting book, I had a sidebar in there with quotes lined up side by side from FreeRepublic.com and DemocraticUnderground.com. It was impossible to tell them apart, except that each was worried about the other side gaming the system.
From everything I've learned since, both sides have good reason to be worried.
If that's Bev I'll donate $10 to Andy myself, via PayPal no less. I'm not buying it whatsoever. She shows up after 2 weeks of this to pimp her BBV.ORG website and drone on and on and on and on about BBV. Get real.
Great comedy though.
Your compehension skills seem to be lacking. The person who bought the cashier's checks has some kind of account(checking/saving)at Verity.
Trust me it's her...check your freepmail also pls.
Oh, and Bev, if you are so concerned about the accountability of our elections officials and all, perhaps you'll join us in asking for some accountability from your former right hand man.
Bev, why you've chosen tonight to show up and tell us your story, I have no idea.

Could be my previous post (don't know the #, so don't ask) explaining in my view why she was tombstoned from DU, or maybe not. she is non partisan and when dems were also involved in her research as vote scammers, the DUers freaked out - no way Democrats are Cheaters! quite simple.
The lady has bona fide guts. Who here would be willing to go up against this vast establishment in such a way?
Don't we all want to know our votes count?
And even if she's just blowing smoke, that's her right, ain't it?
>But I do have one question? Why have you and your organization not pursued a lawsuit ...
It is a consideration. Has been very tempting at times. It's probably not the best way to spend donor money, and we can get a lot of mileage out of lawsuits against voting machine vendors and crappy elections officials, in ways that will do more lasting good.
You are correct that the damage done by the sustained libel campaign was significant. I've done lawsuits before, though. To do them right, you have to invest a lot of time. After a year or so has passed, you realize you could have achieved more meaningful things if you invested the same amount of time and passion in something constructive.
I am a Christian. On the (many) occasions where I began to obsess about seeing everything we've been working for dragged through the mud, my husband usually grouches at me to get back to the project I'm supposed to be doing, and let God take care of everything. He always does.
As for why pop onto the thread now -- when people keep repeating something over and over, that's all it takes for many to believe it.
We wasted some time today at the office grousing about the constant pairing of propaganda and rumors about BBV with other scandals, and decided to address it.
Again, thanks for asking.
I've got to sit on a red-eye flight all night tomorrow, so will hit the sack now.
Thanks for asking, resume your quest for truth.
Bev
Welcome! I'm glad a few of you DUers are coming over here for info. It's revolting to read the pleas on other websites for money stating that "ANDY IS GONNA DIE" and "Please help my friend". I would be furious if my online community was going through this. From what has been posted, there are about 123 other websites asking for money and certain radio hosts on Air America are also raising funds. Sending money to a P.O box in WA! Unbelievable! At least there are DUers who are questioning this.
