The Red Round One also pushed that bit of hysteria over on DU.
I think you put that very well!
I think they realize it's the left leading the charge but they're just tarring everyone as a freeper, I was thinking to try to get the Scamdy.com lefties to back down, but when I thought it through, I think it's just so people on their side who haven't been paying attention, like Spitfire, have permission to keep their brains in idle.
I think they are are trying to taint EVERYONE as a Freeper. That's what I think. It seems to me that some still there are DUers. Many were banned early on over there. Some may have left after some nasty comments. (?)
Still, it looks to me, that a few DUers are still around - mainly as Guests.
I agree. Anyone who isn't an Andyite is a Freeper, in their eyes.
But I think the core players know that it isn't true and they're using it as a propaganda tool to keep the ones like Spitfire in the herd.
Did you ever see that Far Side cartoon where a sheep stands up amid a huge flock and shouts out, "Hey! We don't have to be just sheep!"
I love that cartoon.
Anyway, I think they're afraid some of the sheep might realize this so they paint all opposition as the Big Bad Freeper Wolf.
I just wonder, but I see what you mean. I think most DU players were run off along with everyone else. Not much left now, but the loudmouths over there trouncing on Guest posters.
Anything of value posted is either ridiculed or glossed over.
Just my thoughts... Well, now they're at page 73 and I'm behind, LOL!
Well, I was away for a bit, and I see the debacle grew by several more pages.
No answers to any of the three simple basic questions, though.
About the only exciting thing was that, ostensibly, Al Franklin showed up, if that was really him.
Hey, according to high-fives he rec'd, it was him. LOL!
Something I just read:

He forgets SO easily his past words, eh?
I apologize for the formatting. JLO
Well, after 75 pages, I STILL don't see any answer to those three simple questions.
You suppose we might get an answer to at least one of them, before this hits 100 pages?
My, my, my.
richboy just "identified" the members of Free Republic.
I would hate to be a cop, and have richboy identify someone on the line-up.
richboy can't tell John Lindsay from Ho Chi Minh.
If I were the head of the UN and I didn't want my malfeasence to be revealed but wanted to look like I was trying to stem corruption, I'd hire goodboy in a new york second.
I doubt he could find his pinky with his thumb.
Hmmmmm.
I'm not able to follow meth's logic on the Malloy board.
If the red round one is ill, we forgive his transgressions?
Did the Democrats and the news-media cut Richard Nixon any slack during Watergate, when he was paralyzed with phlebitis?--after all, he was an ill man too.
"richboy just "identified" the members of Free Republic. "
Did I get my identity yet?!
You should go post that over at the Malloy thread. I'd love to see the response. I'm glad you posted it here.
I would like to think if I ever found myself having to publicly ask for money, for any reason, that I would provide the documentation as to why I needed it, upfront, without having to be asked. I know others have other issues on this whole thing, but that's probably the thing that bothers me most about it. No one should have been put in the position to have to ask for it in the first place. But, for whatever reason (I don't know if anyone will ever know what that reason is), they were put in that position and when they dared ask for verification, they were promptly kicked out of the family. That just makes everything seem... well...not right. jmho.
Isn't Spitfire the worst? I was thinking about the age thing too. Definitely not over 18.
