For years, I have been curious about my FBI file and what the contents might be. I read years and years ago that you could request a free copy of the contents of your FBI folder although there was a warning: if you don't have a folder, requesting the contents will create one. (Presumably to hold your request.)
I had a friend apply for a job there 15 years ago, and he used me as a reference. They called me 3 or 4 months later. I assumed they checked me out along the way. And then Clinton came along . . . Well, I'm sure that there's stuff saved from the Internet.
[There's also a group dynamic at work -- people trying to top each other in being outrageous or radical.]
Circle jerk? (Sorry for the vulgarity.)
...get some sleep.
;-)
And ever notice how when they interview of neighbors of some guy who went off his nut they always say "He was a quiet friendly guy, never caused anybody any problems."
That's the main reason I only live next to people who break things in a drunken rage. As long as I hear the dishes flying and music blaring in the background, I know I'm safe.
Will Li'l Beaver be subpoenaed?
I don't believe that is a physical possibility.
Most excellent!
Will Rivers Pitt AKA "The Unidumber".
Naaa. A DUer is doing it to his idol.
The United States Secret Service has asked Democratic Underground to hand over any identifying or personal information we have about the two individuals in question.
Do they say anywhere whether they gave the information to the Secret Service?
Hahahhaha , I don't either.
LOL. Dude, sorry, but you need to stop obsessing. None of us are really that important, ok?
I remember those days vividly. But it wasn't like that. I just lurked for a few years before I signed on in 99, so I know how things were back in the dark days. I recall being very impressed at how good FR was at policing its own.
Sure, there were some freepers that sometimes got a little out if line and made threats that were just a little too... uh... realistic. But they were pounced on immediately by other freepers, and in those days, by JimRob himself much of the time. There was always a line not to be crossed. The later changes and added mods made the job somewhat easier to keep up with, but the basic self-restraint has always been a notable feature of FR. That's one of the reasons that I focused so much on FR in those days. It ~wasn't~ totally out of hand like so many other politics discussion boards were. Nevermind how nuts the BBS circuit used to get... but that's another topic.
DU has no such restraint.
And of course, the freedom-loving, pro-American patriots they are, they are willing bending over backwards to cooperate in every way with the secret service, right?
Somehow I doubt it.
Wow. I knew the DU'ers were Bush-hating lefties (and especially skinner). And I knew that as such, they are terminally stuck on stupid. But I didn't realize (call me naive) that they were 'that' stupid. (Stupid enough to make a written threat against the President on a public forum.)
I guess I was wrong to underestimate their capacity for stupidity. (vast understatement)
Ah forgive me. I'm not read up on all the moonbats yet.
OPPS! Thank you a for reminding me. I am such a Freeper addict! Is their a 12 step program that doesn't involve breaking all my fingers and my arms?
Oh, you'd be surprised. There's a reason that I go by the name "Smith" here.
