From my inbox: Shutting down FR's support - extortion attempt

Hello Jim,

Since you've done what you've done to another reporter of mine when others seem to be allowed to post back to their blog or sites viablogger section, I've taken the liberty to gathering information about your website.

1. I've determined the need for all that money a month is invalid. I run a major website, and do not need that much.

2. You seem to be running the show, not a major building with staff.

3. Donations like this should be going elsewhere, needed, not into YOUR pockets.

4. I am having a press release written on FR, urging citizens to stop wasting their money on you, and to donate for a better cause, elsewhere.

5. I will not stop, unless the price is right. Yes, this is a bribe, because I will not screw you over had you not screwed me over. But it can change with swift talks.

6. You are not a true AMERICA LOVER.

7. Have a nice day, expect your vendors to pull out soon and your donations frozen.

Reads like satire. I don’t buy it for a second.

Watch his FR statement on video here and see if you think this is a guy capable of satire. Your skepticism is healthy, but in this case we have a delusional, mentally ill borderline personality who appears ready to go fully psycho.

Hey, it's not any dumber than when Bob Beckel paid a hooker with a personal check.

I know Jerry Springer did that, did Beckel as well?

I believe most Freepers donate because they feel that they receive value in proportion to their donations.

It is SO much cheaper than daily therapy! :D

Thanks,

Silly

I have not killed someone or myself yet but things in my mind because of this are not good at times. I control it to an extent but I snap hard if bullied.If you think Columbine's shooting was just a phase you are not telling the truth. Columbine's shooters targeted random people BUT most importantly the people who screwed with them in school first. The bullies got shot.

This kind of writing is what you read from guys who engage in some sort of massacre. People like this should not be ignored, they are dangerous psychos and I think that JimRob has a duty to turn this nut in to the authorities. If he does go on a shooting spree we will have done our duty.

This is posted on his site:

For immediate release. As you know, I am one that is sick of scammers of this world. From global warming, to the very laws that control the people. However, one scam is starting to stick out right now.

Free Republic LLC. has viewers, in which only seems to be run by one or two people. The donations on that site are enormous, but the costs just do not add up. We at the SCWXA use about 5% of our server’s bandwidth and do not need over $20,000 monthly. It seems owner Jim Robinson is scamming the viewers by using the country’s issues on hand, to make money.

I’ve seen it done before, on many other websites. However this one just takes the cake. While Robinson claims the donations keep the website running, I believe a lot of this is going for vacation (travel), and personal needs. He has brainwashed the people into donating for the site.

I do urge people to step back, and look at it. The site says “The very country you save could be your own”. My question is, how is this one site going to save our economy, our world, or our country?

It is just is not going to happen, and has promised this since 1996? The website is making the owner one rich puppy off people’s money, promising “change”. We’ve heard this before from a certain someone have we not? The website is a fraud, and the poor people are brainwashed by this individual, simple as that. Donate to a better cause, not this guy’s wallet.

When I hear the Free Republic LLC. has donated 50% of it to a better cause, I will retract the statement. Till then, I am on the phone with a group of entities to see exactly what can be done about these donations coming in from obviously brainwashed people

Donations like this should be going elsewhere, needed, not into YOUR pockets. ,

As someone who believes in this little thing called capitalism, I believe that as much money as the market can support should go into Jim's pockets. Anyone who founds an enterprise that generates revenue and is successful, should be compensated greatly for that. This is not a website full of Obama pay czars. If you want to whine about a site actually taking in money, go to DU.

I’m not buying the bit about Jimrob getting rich off the site but if he did I would have no problem with it. The site provides a valuable service and that service should be rewared in a capitalistic manner.
