What's going on in the World? (Vanity)
September 24, 2008 | This Just In

Good morning, FReepers (...afternoon to those on the east coast)

I was late in discovering that FR has been dealing with technical difficulties, to say the least. I just visited World Net Daily and discovered that their site appears to be going through some trouble as well. Does anyone have details as to what the problem is? Hackers?

John Robinson messed up. He’s fixing it. I don’t think he broke the other site though.

Obama campaign workers doing what they’ve been paid to do. It’s obvious that Senator Obama believes in the First Amendment only as far as it can help his election.

Darned betcha this was a major hack. FreeRepublic.com was not just targeted, it was nuked. With a 100 megaton thermonuclear device.

Would just like to know how this was done. Then a few other sites would be targeted. Might even include the actual perps.

We already know the rules of engagement. Now we just have to choose the sites for return fire.

The internet as we knew it is gone forever. Too many vanities and hand wringing over polls in the NEWS section, rumor has it.

I KNEW FR had hugh and series problems when I got back from lunch and when I hit the second or third page I saw the difference in dates. April 1, to Sept. 24. All the other threads were ZOTTED.

" I also recommend, if you can afford it, to get a month of canned food and water, soda pop, can opener, plastic utensils, just in case.
I keep my gas tank full, too. Used to keep it at 1/2. Now I don’t let it drop below 3/4."

Watch this video..... after Obama's buddy Odinga didn't win the election.... Odinga called for his thugs to cause mass chaos and riots....
Someone should ask Obama if he is going to keep his thugs from rioting if he loses the election or wins it.
If anyone is still not convinced that Obama is not a Muslim, watch this video.

FR is having database problems so you post this in Activism? C’mon, folks, take it easy.

Just in case it's part of something larger, Freepers should have a ‘plan B’ for election day.

I mean, just in case we're all shut down overnight or something. Stranger things have happened.

Maybe we could all ‘meet’ at another and previously selected site, to communicate with each other till the ‘shutdown’ is repaired.

Is the Democrat's son who allegedly hacked Gov. Palin’s email run with a ring?

When I first stopped by FR, and realized there was a problem, my initial reaction was that the site had been hacked. When I visited WND, and discovered a problem there as well, I assumed these were attacks by the Obama camp.

I just freaked out. I was browsing the General/chat forum, already knowing about the database screwup, when I started seeing some weird threads about 2/3 of the way down. After reading the third thread, I saw the date.....

April 1, 2008

I’ll be back tomorrow, hopefully things will be normal by then. Meanwhile, I’ll be on my second favorite forum, TheSamba.com, a VW forum.

Obama is a terrorist and his followers include anarchists.

Plan A and B are if we win PA, it's over and I start drinking. Lose PA, I start drinking...
