LRP World News poll "Freeped" by terrorist (Freak Alert)

LRP World News ^ | 11 Feb 2003

Last night I was informed that our poll was attacked by terrorist. Not the kind of terrorist you hear about everyday but the kind at Free Republic.com. Freeping is a way of manipulating a poll to reflect an outcome which is not neccesarily the opinion of our visitors. The polling system was ... damaged and before I remove it I want everyone to see what happened.

Free Republic at this time has LRP World News Listed at the top of one of their web pages for a need of major freeping. In fact a quick search on google will show that there is even software available to assist with this unethical practice.

The following page at Free Republic has LRP World News listed at the top. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/search?s=FReep+poll&m=all&o=time

The original answer that received 429 votes in a MATTER OF HOURS was that Bush truly believes Iraq is a true danger. I do not know what happened but that answer was removed and all the votes where transfered to another one that was less desirable to the terrorist.

The folks a Free Republic.com have had to resort to this tactic because of the failing support for Bush. They can't accept the fact that most independent thinking people do not support a war with Iraq. Nor can they accept the freedom of opinion. LRP World News is relatively new site. We would be lucky to get 429 visitors in a day. Previous polls also reflect much lower traffic with total votes over a week being less than 100 people.

This is why I do not trust polls. This is also why LRP World News will be forced to remove the polling system in the next few days. With this type of terrorism being performed by Bush's Nazi followers their is no way a true reflection of our visitor opinions can be guaranteed

Proud to say I was vote #19 in the 'Bush truly believes Iraq is a true danger' column.

All web polls are self-selecting and in no way represent a statistical sampling across the nation. Any results that you may have gotten, therefore, are worthless.

LOL! Quit Freeping polls, you losers, and do something useful! If you really have nothing else to do, go mow someone's lawn or shovel their walk and donate the money to a conservative's campaign.

Sniff, whaa! cry bump.

poor babies

I love the way that "FReeping" is becoming the commonly accepted term for this.

[Lost Highway]

If ya'll aint gonna vote the way I want you to then we just won't do any more polls!

[amused]

This is DU's new deal. If they see a poll posted here, they copy the thread and send it to the ones conducting the poll. DU has stated to these pollsters that "freeped" means definite fraudulent manipulation of the polls. Since many FReepers simply say "freeped" and not many of them actually delete cookies and the like, it looks like a coordinated campaign to fraudulently manipulate the polls.

Of course DU now uses the same tactics though they stridently claim they vote once(yeah right). Basically DU now wants polls thrown out if FReepers vote in them at all. This is their tactic along with boycotts. If they can't beat a voice, it must be silenced.

More and more the left shows it does not believe in free speech unless you are in agreement with them.

Well Boo hoo hoo!

You want cheese with that whine? Your comrades at DemocRATic Underground have been freeping for years.
Have you posted a similar thread at their site, or are you just another spoilt hypocrite?

Freeping is a way of manipulating a poll to reflect an outcome which is not neccesarily the opinion of our visitors.

So, let me understand... they don't want people to visit their site?

Everyone knows online polls are unscientific at best (worthless, for the most part).

"Terrorist"? That whiner should get a grip on his view of reality. Maybe his mommy can help.

Someone please post the image of the crying baby!

Here is their latest poll. Pretty balanced huh?


Surveys/Polls
Why Is President Bush Overly Obsessed With Iraq?
He wants 11% of the world oil resources
He is trying to stimulate the economy
He wants to build an empire

Just another example of what happens when a manipulation of "public opinion" by the liberal Communistic Islamists goes awry. If one can't take the heat when ones methods of manipulation are exposed and reversed, don't offer up a poll that can be manipulated.

[PianoMan]

I think Freeping polls is great. People put up those web polls which only their constituency reads, vote for their own insulated views, and then claim they prove something. By adding our voice we simply increase the visibility of other views that many want to deny exist.

Does our behavior show desperation, or does calling us "terrorists" show desperation?

[myrabach]

Too bad I missed this poll to FReep... gee do you really there is some sort of integrity in a poll?

[Gothmog]

How embarrassing for LRP, to have your emotional whining posted for everyone to see.

"LRP World News is relatively new site. We would be lucky to get 429 visitors in a day."

Sounds like a neanderthal and reasons like one. Hey, LRP, maybe the reason you get so few visitors is not because of your newbie status, but because you are members of an extreme fring group that would make the French look like Attila's horde.

[Lost Highway]

We would be lucky to get 429 visitors in a day.

Kind of says it all.

And if you haven't yet had enough amusement:

They're still talking about us
