I recieved this in my Freep-mail today and I find it disturbing to say the least.
Original message by Im4Fred titled Last Warning received 2007-11-15 14:20:57
hello, this is a friendly reminder that you have not yet contributed to FRed’s campaign this month.
Please take the time to do so now:
https://www.fred08.com/contribute.aspx?RefererID=c637caaa-315c-4b4c-9967-08d864cd0791
And remember, we are coming down the final stretch and we must all rally behind FRed. Now is the time to say NO to RINOS like Duncan Hunter and Mitt Romney. Any show of support to these socialists is now expressly prohibited on FR and transgressors will be banned. Just ask Pissant:

Best FRegards
With FRed to the Victory !!!
I checked pissant's profile and he has indeed been banned or suspended.
I didn't like the subject: "Final Warning", let alone the body of the text, and figured it didn't come from any of Fred's people.
So pissant's been banned huh?
Hmmmm
People must be scared of Fred to go to these lengths.
It’s one thing to push a good candidate like Hunter, but it’s another thing to lie about, spin, and distort another good candidate’s (Fred’s) record.
We figured the same.
Thanks for that....It caught me off guard.
“If that’s the case, then to the many with whom I have interacted over the years, it has been a pleasure to have known you.”
And that was the whole point of the troll’s freepmail. It also wanted to make sure everyone knew pissant was banned. You and me and everyone else got that same message.
I was kind of bummed to see that pissant got banned too but apparently he was posting a lot of annoying anti-Fred threads. He was warned and didn’t take Jim’s advice.
In pissant's last post he said that Fred "led the charge" for McCain-Feingold. That reply was on yesterday's despicable thread (posted by pissant) based on a scumbag CBS rat's column that called all the major GOP candidates "flip-floppers".
I got this and thought it was a joke. What happened?
I always took Pissant with a grain of salt. It was generally understood that Pissant was a fervent, Duncan Hunter guy and there was no persuading him that the sky would not fall if one of the other candidates managed to win the nomination.
Same goes for Incitatus and the rest of the democRATS. We made it through 8 years of Clintigula, and will survive the reign of Incitatus if she were to win the general election.
Me too.
If you click on the “contribute” link, you will find this is a hoax.
It links to a non-secure site asking for your credit card info.
My wife and I have our own little business (see tagline) but we don’t spam FReepers.
I think we all got one, I actually received three of them, one was from “im4fred” and the other two were from “be4fred”, but exactly the same message. Obviously some sort of scam and possibly from some Fred hater trying to stir up trouble and make problems for Fred.
“Is it only being sent to people on the Fred ping, or people known to support him?”
That’d interesting to know. I got one, too, but maybe every FReeper got the note.
I have only stated in posts that Fred would be my first choice. To my knowledge I am not on a ping list and do not state my support for Fred in my tags or profile.
In truth, my support for him has been withering, as has been his candidacy.
Whomever, compiled this list of FReeper FRedheads (working the gamut from devout to moderately preferring FRed) must have been compiling a list and database according to individual interactions and posts, which is the only way anyone would know Fred is my fading first option.
Gotta think; that’s a little bit of work.
Unfortunately, these days I’m afraid that the candidate most aligned with my politics isn’t scaring anybody.
Me too. He probably disagreed with one of the moderators.
Well, just for the record, Senator Thompson did lead the charge for McCain-Feingold. Even John McCain's chief of staff gave Fred primary "credit" for shepherding it through the Congress.
Who could be against “BulletBras”!?!?!
Actually, I wouldn’t mind being against a bulltbra! But that’s a post for another day - and probably another forum.
Dude, I got the money, and you can send more if you like!
He disagreed with JR. You don’t get far that way.
(also banned was Tailguner Joe - not sure why, but kinda the same thing as pissant I believe - and a newbie, david13. David13 was a cut and paste Romney spammer.)
Let’s not mix up our horsies and doggies.
