The Freepers Greatest Threads, and Posts!

Why not spend a few minutes reminiscing about the funniest, most poinient, historic, or heartwarming moments on FREE REPUBLIC. Take the time to scan your bookmarks, search your memory, and scratch your head, Freep a friend for help, but find them, and share them with the greatest forum on the WORLD WIDE WEB.

This is the time to show-off, and post those one-liners and rejoiners that make the posters on the Jim Robinson website, that continues to make history, untangle quamirers, and pop enigmas. Rememer Jim and this site as you go down memory lane, and drop a few bucks on the fundraiser, as a bit of thanks!!

I've got my coffee, and a plastic cover on my keyboard in case I am drinking when the best of the best pop up without a warning... Have at it, you are the best......

I was on vacation and away from a computer on 9/11/01, and I'm surprised the thread was so short. There must have been many other threads going at the same time.

Here's one I posted, back in the day.

Bill Clinton is There

[optimistically_conservative]

Two of my favorites, but not humorous:

Shuttle Contact LOST-No Tracking Data During RE-Entry!

[AP SCOOP] Space Shuttle Columbia Will Be Visible In San Francisco Area (6AM Pacific)

[4mycountry]

Here's a good one.

Here are some of MY favorites (whick I have bookmarked, lol):

• I was a naive fool to be a human shield for Saddam (MUST, MUST READ!)
• Creative Writing at It's Best
• Connivers decide what's `convenient'
• A president in control

  And some that are just classics:

  • New "Bushism" Slang Word Sweeps Japan! "KAKKATE KOI!" ("OK, Bring Them On"): Japanese Press
  • The Cult of the Viking Kitties

[CounterCounterCulture]

Not to mention "Can anyone else look up at the sun and see anything" by ClassyGreenEyedBlond.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

I couldn't log onto Freepublic that day, problems with logging into the net and the server. I thought it was all of the traffic on the net.

Here is another:

Plane Crashes into World Trade Center

One of my favorites was the thread started the night about 30 of us were summarily banned by Lucianne.

Ay, there were.

Upon request, I have collected links to many of the earliest threads from September 11, 2001 below. I reviewed threads from the very first FR report (http://www.freeRepublic.com/focus/fr/520255/posts)through thread number 520326. Feel free to add other significant threads, including photo archives. Bumping this thread periodically instead of the original threads will also avoid scaring people with the headlines.

Bookmark this thread, and bump it from time to time when the nation and the press seems to forget why we need resolve in the face of evil. Forgive some of the early misinformation and broken photo links, and recall the horror and fury.

I wish I had known about that one. Of course, I might not have been banned by Luci at that time.

[Paul Atreides]

Remember the thread about the in-fighting among the human shields on their way to Iraq? That was hilarious.

[Senator Pardek]

A Classic! I have that thing save to disk somewhere on this box.

Excuse me - I think I have something in my eye...

[cmsgop]

Hey Carlo, If one wanted to make Carne Asada would I use skirt or Flank Steak ? Thanks

[clintonh8r]

Thanks. I really missed being in contact with FR that day.

[carlo3b]

Flank steak is best..What time is dinner..What are you eating for dessert? LOLOL

[Mr. Mulliner]

While I was still an occasional lurker, there was a thread that really showed me the creativity and humor of freepers. It was about a set of diagrams that Al Gore drew (for some unknown evil purpose, no doubt), but freepers offered their interpretations of those diagrams.

Anyone who can help me find that thread will be rewarded with gratitude.

[Gumption]

Have you been watching your download/upload window. Now I'm hungry for you know what.
