(1) "But had the American people really spoken? Or was this poll FReeped?"

I guess we are not American people?

(2) "Though many may not know about them, FReepers are members of a small but growing and vocal right-wing movement who are making a name for themselves."

English 101: "Many" should be followed by a noun. Also, the next clause should read: "movement which is making a name for itself..."

(3) "Some of those who hang out on Free Republic call themselves "FReepers."

Only some?

(4) "These people are dedicated to...showing President Bush support and getting on the nerves of liberals the FReepers don't like...letters and e-mails to support conservative figures they like and scolding calls, letters and e-mails to liberals they don't like."

Not that we have any arguments or reasons, mind you. It's just that we do not like liberals. Typical liberal emotional-speak.

(5) "Search under "FReep poll" at the Web site and you'll find many "FReep this poll!" marching orders each day."

Ahem. Marching orders?

(6) "In monitoring Free Republic myself...

That should read: "By monitoring Free Republic myself..."

(7) "Kershner says, SF Gate's polls are for entertainment value only."

Everything about SF Gate is for entertainment value only.

(8) "David Allen, founder and moderator of major liberal forum Democratic Underground, a popular site many think of as Free Republic's most direct ideologically opposite rival, agrees."

She has a serious clause problem when writing.

(9) "They're completely skewed to whomever finds it first -- and, to be honest, that's never us liberals. It's always them.

Yes, we are always quicker than they are, and in every regard.

(9) "As long as the news media continues to report the results of an Internet poll as if it's news, the FReeping of polls will continue to be a problem."

That sounds about right.

(10) "A small number of FReepers believe so strongly in the ultimate good of their goals that they don't mind advocating or even participating in activities that are scary, violent and illegal."

She's saying that we are ruthless: the end justifies the means.

By the way, her two examples of "violent and unlawful Freeper activity" go back to 1999 and 2001. There is nothing recent!

(11) "the fact that such activities have occurred is alarming."

A perfect example of the sickening self-righteousness so characteristic of the left. And why wasn't she squealing back in 1999 and 2001?

(12) "There's definitely a sort of hardcore wackjob segment of FReepers," agrees William Rivers Pitt."

The pot calling the kettle black!

(13) "It's just the lunatic fringe I worry about."

This coming from San Francisco!

Zippy The Pinhead was the only thing I read the online SF Gate website for. Purely an entertainment site ONLY.

Have to wonder if she just lurked or if she was one of the useful idiots that posted just for a few minutes with leftist tripe here on FR.

Also have to love that "banned for life" comment about the person who posted the Chuy's info. Look up ZOT under thread searches and you'll see some idiots who managed to sign up here several times.

Ahem. I have only read as far as your post, Fraulein, so I don't know if this has been addressed so far. The first thing that caught my eye (still haven't finished reading the article yet) was this:

First, some background: FReeping takes its name from its birthplace, Free Republic, a heavily trafficked right-wing Web site founded by a Fresno Republican in 1996...

Free Republic was founded by a Fresno Democrat who, like many Democrats, were fed up with their lies and treasonous actions. It was after the most recent election (2002) that our Mr. Robinson switched party affilation.

Liberals/socialists can never get it right! :)

"I guess we are not American people?"

Silly FReeper! Didn't you figure out back during the reign of XXX42 that only THEY speak for the American people and are therefore the only ones qualified to identify someone as such? Off to the re-education camp with you!
