Fair Warning, This is a VANITY rant.
I have been watching (lurking), for quite a while. I have come to the conclusion that, since FR has almost assumed "icon" status as an alternative news outlet, there seems to have been an "organized" effort at using FR as a vehicle for subverting thought.
Most recently, there have been some interesting banter, usually between the same individuals, about how much better CNN has become and how FNC has degraded, and how "so and so" isn't watching FNC anymore because of.....(insert some bogus issue here).....
After you break the code, it is almost hysterical to watch.
The usual targets seem to be Fox News Channel, ANY gun post, and FR in general.
I would just caution and advise all of us old-timer, hard-corps Freepers, be aware that you may be the subject of manipulation on the part of the notorious "seminar callers" of Rush Limbaugh fame.
As a note of warning to the "opinion shapers" that think they are being clever on FR. I have been documenting chapter and verse and send it to the Mods regularly.
I now return you to your regularly scheduled threads........

No, no..I think Teresa ordered the chili....
I know what you mean.
you'll appreciate http://www.iit.edu/~it/delphi.html-basically about how to manipulate "consensus"
Oh no, she did but a poster specifically said he did too. Someone is playing with our heads:')
Why are you doing that grunt work yourself?
I thought you had 'people' to do that trivial stuff for you.
What are they saying about guns?

-- Anyone that wants to can take a quick look through some recent gun threads, and see the same names pop up time after time, arguing ~against~ our RKBA's:

A link to pertinent threads would make me stop laughing at the hamsters and start paying attention to your concerns.
I figured as we get closer to November there will be an onslaught of propaganda, if nothing more than slinging chaff to keep distractions up.
Stay focused!
If it weren't for Imus on MSNBC, The Daily Show on The Comedy Channel and Seinfeld reruns on FOX and TBS, and C-SPAN for everything else, I wouldn't have a TV.
Take it to the bank . . . . and the mods.
Trident/Delta and I go way back to the days of DITHF.
Now I'm from Illinois not Missouri, but before I put much stock in anything T/D says, he's got to show me.
"I'm still waiting for a remake of Von Ryan's Express."
That's a good one.
I'm watching Kelley's Heros right now.
Kelly:"What are you doing"? Mad Dog: "drinking wine, eating cheese, catching some rays".
Why? You interested in buying one?
Make ME wonder why Dec31,1999 registered on 6/19/99.
That said, I never even bother with the others any more. If I am going to watch the news on tv it is fox.
Mostly I am waiting for a conservative news channel. sigh
Ooops make that Telly.
I'd much prefer that they wait until those trials are over, then tell one thing - guilty or innocent, then don't say anything else about them until after they are sentenced and then only tell how much time the guilty Bas***** got.
Used to like Greta but now consider her a total waste. Gearld Rivers is a monumental joke.
To the author: I am so rabidly right wing I even suspect myself of being slightly liberal. For instance, I don't think Clintoon should be hanged, just locked away out of sight for the rest of MY life.
Better report my arse to the mods too.

I know more about the 'DITHF' flap than you do squid, -- so whats your point?

Show you what?
I just 'showed you' three gun threads that are infested by a bunch of clowns that fight ~against~ our RKBA's.
They do this at FR all day every day, just as T/D pointed out.
How much proof do you need?
