Pretty crazy that they’ve researched each person based on various postings. Kind of like they’re stalking. Weird if you ask me.

Oh, how I do hope they're thinking about stalking me... But, if they're smart they won't even think bout going there...

“This is what they do. This is how they operate. Remember it well, everyone.”

This is the “taking names” part of the famous phrase. Every political org does that. Long ago on FR I proposed doing just that, plus taping police radio calls during demonstrations (this was when a Freeper got assaulted by thugs during a demo).

Take pictures of the opposition, including the cars and buses they came in. It may not be important at the time, but if it gets to lawyers and courts, these records are valuable. Not to post on the internet, but they can prove who was at a location, and when.

The police and FBI take lots of crowd shots, for filing away.

She boasts two doctorates, one in classics from Cambridge University and the other in government from Harvard University, and won a $500,000 MacArthur "genius" award at the age of 29

Oh, I don't think she's a "genius." IF she were, she wouldn't be a liberal. LOL!

Ms. Allen is obviously ignorant of our Constitution too. Since the "genius" trolls FR, maybe she'll read this. She needs to understand that WE HAVE FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS TO FREE SPEECH!

Deal with it, "genius," and for pete's sake, get over yourself!

“Pretty crazy that they’ve researched each person based on various postings. “

If you have an enemy, you need to learn all you can about them. Dan Rather’s research team spent much more effort finding out who outed him on Free Republic than they did researching the origins of the faked memos.

If there is a group that sees us as a threat, an enemy, then they will research us, all of us, to look for weaknesses.

In my case, if the Governor found out I was posting here, sometimes while on the job, she’d fire me and I’d lose my house. That’s an exploitable weakness, other posters will have similar issues.

Obama’s people are trying to scrape up anyone who speaks ill about their messiah. Yet on Obama’s website, you can completely disrespectful things written about our sitting president (which is no surprise). But, the fact that Obama is allowing these things to be written on his presidential campaign site shows some hypocrisy.

Battle Hymn of the Republicans
(to the tune of the Battle Hymn of the Republic)

Mine Eyes have seen the bungling of that stumbling moron Bush;
He has blathered all the drivel that the neo-cons can push;
He has lost sight of all reason ‘cause his head is up his tush;
The Doofus marches on. He goes on and on.

Written by a Ch. Rogers a blogger on the barackobama.com website. We can do our homework too.

To me this is an encouragement to be ever stronger and to NEVER back down to the leftie Marxist punks who think they
OWN the airwaves, cyberspace and print media!

We should continue to contend for the truth and to he** with
them!

....or is that just me?

It holds printouts of the reams of conversations about Obama's religion appearing on Free Republic. Since its start in 1996 by Jim Robinson of Fresno, Calif....

What ?!?!?

No one even heard of the POS Obama in 96. Wasn't he still a white man back then ? Presstitutes like the ones promoting this seditious socialist are responsible for rumors and disinformation ......we only discuss what we read.

But then who reads this losers bird cage liner anyway......:o)

Stay safe !

That just goes to show ya' that OSAMA Hussien Obama is more than willing to throw his own family under the bus in his quest for power. And I thought the Clinton's were the most power-mad scum of the earth.

I laughed when I noticed that Allen told Mosk that “What I've come to realize is, the labor of generating an e-mail smear is divided and distributed amongst parties whose identities are secret even to each other,” she says. A first group of people published articles that created the basis for the attack. A second group recirculated the claims from those articles without ever having been asked to do so. “No one coordinates the roles,” Allen said. Instead the participants swim toward their goal like a school of fish — moving on their own, but also in unison.”

So think about this. According to her it starts with someone writing an article, that then gets posted on Free Republic and the FReepers talk and talk and sometimes even agree with those articles. Yup. That's what we do, lady. We are a group of like-minded conservatives who come here to learn about the conservative slant on things. And when we agree on things, we talk, post, and communicate it all around.

In any case, we're less of a school of fish than your University of Chicago and Princeton colleagues who all voted for, let's see... Eugene McCarthy, McGovern, Carter, Carter, Mondale, Dukakis, Clinton, Clinton, Gore, and Kerry. All the same mackerels swimming together since Woodstock.

We would not have to alter personnas - we could just have 3 or 4. Would be rather fun. One time I post as X and I am mighty mean old codger who was a former marine. The next time I am Y, a nice Christian lady that never says a bad word - new to politics - and just astounded at what she learns.

Then I am Z - a politician in the Washington area leaking info to FR and other sites to be used as propaganda against Obama.

And to really confuse them, I post as T - a democrat underground fly-in poster creating havoc on the site, ranting and raving about the untruths posted on this site. Maybe I will forward those to her at her workplace.

They are waking up the sleeping tigers around here.

What you described is what I’d call changing personna.

I’d have to work at it big-time as my posting style and personality are so transparently and consistently atypical.

But first, we’d need JimRob’s permission/sanction/encouragement to do so for our own protection and that of FR.

Part of me wonders if some of us who’ve been overly transparent about personal details should ask if we can have the draconion step taken of pulling all our posts of the last 4-5 years or so when we’ve been so brazenly candid and transparent in too many key respects.

I’d hate to afflict the data-base so dreadfully but it might be the only safe and wise thing to do. Though aren’t there net backup sites that we couldn’t have that done with???
