You need tons click "co-ordinating"

Of franc Patalong

Votes are a fine thing, the butter on message bread. They give a feedback to the on-line Medienmacher, how the reader sees a thing. George W. Bush regard nearly 60 per cent of the readers of MIRROR ON-line ONE for example as a Top president. We know also, why.

From the guidance for the falsification of the Mirror On-line Votes: "You need tons cklick ' co-ordinating!'" The widow Vivian Freep from Midland (Texas) is "George Bush's biggest more supporter".

Beautifully for Bush, the European imagines there, but in an American conservative Credos ascends equal the anger. An insolence is that, which does not want to say no more and less than the following: Bushs success is based on the assistance of humans, who manipulate, disturbs, falsifies.

Because "Freeping" is an Slang expression. He means the nocturnal pasting over of election posters, the organization of being noisy area MOS, the purposeful disturbing of appearances of political opponents and - not least - the massive falsification of tunings in the InterNet.

The strange term developed for end of the nineties and goes back on the web page "Free Republic" of the ultrakonservativen activists Jim Robinson. "Freep", how the web page was fast called by fans, understands itself as "a conservative message forum". Principal item of the offer is the panel, in which it goes partly violently to the thing.

The conservative click Guerilla

Free Republic began as Clinton Hasser side, developed themselves further however fast. First Lorbeeren harvested the "Freep Movement", when the side began to call in various elections for the "support" of conservative candidates.

Completely concretely: It concerned to disturb demonstrations of the democrats to tear off or falsify posters, to opponents to support actively. Already as itself Bill Clinton saw, to organized Freep groups in different US cities "info. meetings" and switched newspaper advertisements confronted with an office expulsion procedure. The term "Freeping" developed and meant: Over tones the opponent.

I'm sleepy, tired, sick, feel bad- probably dying!

That did not harm the "Freep Movement" . . . "Freep" is stronger than ever before.

This is hilarious!

They spent three years working on this poll, and we Freeped it!

Ever see a DU troll drink water, Mandrake?

LOL! I just watched that again last night! Great stuff.

[McGavin999]

Gee, they didn't even mention that we all learned how to speak German so we could vote in this all German poll. I thought it was rather intelligent of us. :o)

[rustbucket]

Great! ALuminum Gore. (Or, as the British say, Aluminium.)

[Poohbah]

I need to get out of the way so he doesn't miss and hit me...

Geez, we got the trolls coming out of the frickin' woodwork!

I'll swap you a couple 40mm rounds for a magazine of 5.56mm NATO ZOT ammo...running a bit low over here.

Apparently, the webpoll is again, but for some reason, I can't vote.

Could they be deliberately blocking US IP numbers from voting???

[lainde]

LOL!!!! I THOUGHT I spoke some fair German. I'm not so sure anymore...

[WaterDragon]

One gets the sense that the author of the article doesn't approve of freeping? LOL

[WaterDragon]

The weird thing is, 'conservative' and 'liberal' mean different things in Europe and in America.

There seems to be a great deal of that going on lately.

Because "Freeping" is an Slang expression.

It appears to be entering the language via more and more common usage.
