Free Republic: glass ant farm for zealots (whiny anti-Freep rant)
Globe and mail ^ | Ivor Tossel

Posted on 07/29/2009 8:13:38 AM PDT by big black dog

...The site is a venerable and storied Web forum for American arch-conservatives. Funded by member donations, it was founded in 1996 as an anti-Clinton grandstand, and soon became a place where members could post news stories and discuss them -- though "discussion" might be the wrong word. More often, it's a kind of pantomime, where the name of the game is to cheer the good guy and boo the bad guy every time he creeps on stage...

Who is Ivor Tossel and why does he have his panties in such a wad?

Go look at the absolute filth that is posted on the leftist sites.

It sounds like Ivor won’t be writing, calling, or sending flowers to Jim Thompson

Liberals can’t stand exposure. When they’re being exposed, they try to strike back. LOL

Let them give it their best shot.

Kind of like when Americans cheered for Patton and booed the Nazis.

The only thing worse than posts just pimping conservative blogs is pumping up the hits of liberal garbage ones.

>Remember Free Republic's ant farm?

Free Republic once
had an ant farm. But it's gone.
The moose stepped on it.

Us, and Them - Pink Floyd

Us, and them
And after all were only ordinary men.
Me, and you.
God only knows its not what we would choose to do.
Forward he cried from the rear
And the front rank died.
And the general sat and the lines on the map
Moved from side to side.
Black and blue
And who knows which is which and who is who.
Up and down.
But in the end its only round and round.
Haven’t you heard its a battle of words
The poster bearer cried.
Listen son, said the man with the gun
There’s room for you inside.

I mean, theyre not gunna kill ya, so if you give em a quick short,
Sharp, shock, they wont do it again. dig it? I mean he get off
Lightly, cos I wouldve given him a thrashing - I only hit him once!
It was only a difference of opinion, but really...i mean good manners
Dont cost nothing do they, eh?

Down and out
It cant be helped but theres a lot of it about.
With, without.
And wholl deny its what the fightings all about?
Out of the way, its a busy day
Ive got things on my mind.
For the want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died.

This is actually a pretty cool quote from the 'article':
But if Free Republic has a virtue, it's that, unlike other pressure groups, it's transparent: You can see the cogs turning, the anger mounting, the members joining the half-baked me-too condemnations that will surface on tomorrow's news agenda. It's like a glass ant farm for zealots. It's a little stomach-turning, but man, they're diligent little things. It's hard not to stare sometimes.

I can live with that. I don't care if liberals think I'm a zealot. F--- 'em. This person obviously spends a lot more time reading us than we do reading him.

It's a hateful place that, if the world was working as it should, would be relegated to the Internet's endless fringes

I'll bet Ivor Tosser thinks DU is an island of sanity in an otherwise insane world.

Well at least he thinks we’re diligent. And for the record, I am not scared of “xeno’s”. I don’t even know what a “xeno” is.

parsy.

BOOOOO Ivor! You suck!

YAAAAY Jim. You’re our hero!

LOL. There, now I’ve validated his contention.

Note to Ivor: Please direct your readers to this post as proof.
