JoeEveryman and the Anti-FReeper Attack on Free Republic

Various Anti-FReeper sites | August 10, 2002 | Jim Robinson

In your account of current developments you write:

This started out as petty name calling and rumor mongering, but they now appear determined to cause us as much harm as possible.

This behavior is cowardly destructive in nature, the converse of conservative responsibility evinced by you and the preponderence of posters.

Free Republic is the open discussion of ideas in a civilized fashion, where there's no substitute for truth.

Let the accusers identify themselves and state their case clearly, or slink off out of sight and sound.

Give em hell.

[DoughtyOne]

And thank you.

I am a new member here, and I hope I dont get in trouble for this, but I have to say I agree with you that it seems sometimes that there is only a single opinion allowed here, that being pro-Bush.

I think you are right in saying that the attitude you discribe will eventually hurt Free Republic. If this site is indeed solely for the glorification of our President, then I think it should be stated as such.

I was reading the other day about quotes by Sean Hannity about Free Republic, and I couldnt believe the way that Conservatives were attacking a fellow Conservative like Hannity in a way that can only hurt the reputation of members here.

I must say that I have never seen Liberals attack each other so openly and publically for daring to disagree in the way that I have seen here. I come here for news that I might not find elsewhere, and it would be a shame if this web site were discredited as a place for like-minds only.

We exchange emails. He's around but his parents were sick for a very long time. I think he will come back one day.

Hey NaL, remember the FAN days and the some 300 or more Texas Freepers? You worked your rear off for those folks.

[pubmom]

Every village has an idiot.

I could be incorrect, but I think she is tolerated because she is a clear example of the average liberal and their thought processes.

[Paul Atreides]

Jim, why do you let that harridan post?

I guess it is for the same reason that The Osbournes is such a hit. People know that Ozzy has fried his brains on drugs, but they cannot help but watch and laugh.

[Daus]

I really have nothing to say, I'm just posting because with all these old names on the thread, I felt I should.

:)

[billhilly]

You have your nerve,~{;^)

[A Navy Vet]

I just wish jolly and Joy in DC would make an appearance.

[duckln]

IMO you have been defending Islamist since 9/11 and taken
to task for it over and over. There're things that must be
said here and that's the beauty of the site. Sad to hear
your preference to shut people out.

[Paul Atreides]

From what I have seen of her posts, MM will post a legitimate news article, spin it in the Clintons' favor, and then disappear. She hardly ever replies on her own threads.

I am a new member here, and I hope I dont get in trouble for this, but I have to say I agree with you that it seems sometimes that there is only a single opinion allowed here, that being pro-Bush.

Then would you guys please explain to me why I, a Bush supporter, seem to spend a lot of my time feeling like I have to defend him here? Why I cringe when I log in, because thread after thread seems to be critical of him, and few threads seem to give him credit for ANY of the good he's done?

On second thought, don't explain it to me here. Please tell me elsewhere - because I don't want to contribute any more to this thread going off-topic...but please see the obvious - that people who dislike Bush are every bit as "allowed" here as those who support him.

[Lazamataz]

BTW, I am thankful you restored that Commonsense thread. I was a little dismayed when it was pulled, but reasssured now that it is back.

[tpaine]

Some of the early members of the group include ex-FReepers Mojo, Aligyrl, Landshark, Z2, Headhunter, LindaM, and others who have come and gone over the years. ________________________________

Bizarro statement seeing that most of those named were your stanch defenders & buddies in the old AFhole/coven days.

I thought your agenda is shootin' stuff........

Right now my agenda is shootin' my new .45 at the range. Rock Island 1911.

[eddie willers]

Doing fine Eddie . . . and you?

Great.
Last time I asked, "Where ya been?", you said, "lurking".

That was about 2 years ago.
You've got this lurking thing down pretty good, LOL!

[TLBSHOW]

That is cool but, I would advise staying away from there as they are in smear mode against everyone and everyone it seems. You will gain nothing at this point with them. LP is a ghost town site if we don't go there. There will be one to 20 posters left there the true FR haters. ok too much credit maybe 10 left there.

Point is with the threats they have made or things they have done it will be easy to track their smears and track it right to the person barking orders to Joe.

[navigator]

I was never an anti-FReeper. Ever.

You sir are shameful lying sack of sick disinformation and have been for many years.
