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.

[Jim Robinson]

'Tis a sad day indeed.

I fall to my knees and humbly beg forgiveness for all my past misdeeds. God will surely punish me for my sins.

Boy you sound scared. The thing is, this 'expose' will probably gain you attention (and support), assuming anyone actually bothers to read it. It would be ashame if badjoe spend a year of his life on a project and no one reads it.

[Jim Robinson]

Great post!!

[RedBloodedAmerican]

It seemed for a long time coming that BadJoe was a modern day Absalom.

You have a good group surrounding you now. You started FR without him, it will continue without him. Let them have their lies, you have FR.

"Liberty Post? What's that? Who cares?"

Now, what should you do to atone for your sins? I think you should be forced to read "The Collected Wisdom of Lew Rockwell, Jr.". Your sentence should be completed in time for afternoon tea.

[dirtboy]

What the hell is this about?

Some troll named Jim Robinson.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

LOL! Someone called me bigoted on here the other day.

My reply is "I ain't bigoted. I hate everyone!"

[RightWhale]

revealing the names of our moderators.

Wow! What if they turn out to be Tom Daschle and Hillary Clinton? Some of us might not be able to post again for hours because of psychological shock.

read later bump (what on earth is all this about???)

[Jim Robinson]

(It's rally just a behind the scenes conspiracy to sex-up the current fundraising drive that's stuck in the doldrums. BADJOE was the best fundraiser we ever had. Raised something over $700,000 over a three year period or so. Connect the dots.)

[MonroeDNA]

Sorry. Just know this is going to be a high volume thread! lol!!!!
