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.

WTF? Just damn....I guess its better if one is kept in the dark. Ignorance is bliss.

[rwfromkansas]

Is the fundraiser not going as fast this time around? It seems to be taking forever.

Am I logged on or are you turning off the lights? ;-)

[nutmeg]

ping!

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.

Jim: You assume people care about . . who ever this is, and we just do not.

You've done a fantastic job running what is an asset to the consevative movement in the United States, and deserve congradulations.

You know there's a 30-day rehab program for just this problem. It involves non-stop Barry Manilow music and visualizations of helen thomas shopping at Victoria's Secret.

[Jim Robinson]

Way to go!! Thank you MonroeDNA!!

Aren't there rules against bringing cross-forum flame wars to FR?

[Always Right]

It's rally just a behind the scenes conspiracy to sex-up the current fundraising drive that's stuck in the doldrums.

LOL, GW has nothing on you.

[Incorrigible]

Does this qualify as an Opus?

[dirtboy]

visualizations of helen thomas shopping at Victoria's Secret.

Ugh. I'd rather not. I always figured that Helen shopped at Tractor Supply Company.

[malakhi]

I fall to my knees and humbly beg forgiveness for all my past misdeeds.

I think I was groped by a moderator, once.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Didn't they come into a verbal or written agreement re: privacy about their knowledge of FR behind the scenes when they were onboard working with you? I would think it would be very easy to sue for breaking that agreement, no matter where they go. For example, Big Idea Productions just got sued for breaking a verbal agreement for promotional work and are now in bankruptcy. Not quite the same, but regarding breaking agreements, it looks like you could win.

But they probably aren't worth it. Man, those guys at that site are so bitter.

..... by publishing an expose (the truth about JimRob and Free Republic according to Joe) on the 18th of this month,

Oh, boy...I can't wait....do you know if executive summaries will be available?

I wonder if Katie Couric will do him! Did I say that?

[Jhoffa_]

Bump for Free Republic!

[dirtboy]

I think I was groped by a moderator, once.

And they're all anonymous. How convenient...

[netmilsmom]

Excuse me Sir, but I thought we were not suppose to post from "The Onion".

*snicker*

[dirtboy]

I wonder if Katie Couric will do him!

Nah, she only gets down for Hillary.

[malakhi]

I feel so dirty now...
