Monday, Reyes and her supporters revealed dozens of posts linked to the Free Republic Web site that she said were inflammatory.

Off hand, can't think of any web site that does not have "inflammatory" posts.

Supporters included Nicholas DeGraff of Peace Fresno and Mike Rhodes, editor of Community Alliance magazine.

I wonder which of these two is AKA "FReepWatch"? Hmmm...

I'm of the opinion that this was a setup - one of those involved in this made the initial 'FReepWatch' posts at IndyMedia, knowing the kind of responses they would get (or maybe even wrote the 'inflammatory' replies themselves), then went crying to Reyes...

But then, maybe I'm just paranoid.

There is nothing wrong with the commission warning police of potential trouble, West said. In this case, police were alerted to a potential clash between Free Republic members and some unidentified "outside group."

Reyes left the "outside group" unidentified, but took their word that FreeRepublic is a hate group, and called us just that on city letterhead. And broadcast it publicly by fax.

If she'd only wanted to warn the police of potential trouble, she would have notified the police of the "outside group"'s threat to cause trouble at someone else's picnic. Instead, she slandered the group that was under the threat.

She ought to resign. She is convinced she was in the right, proof of her incompetence and stupidity.

"The postings, found on the San Francisco Indymedia Web site, are attributed to people who use monikers. In some cases, these people have written offensive words and pretended to be DeGraff, Rhodes and other community activists."

This is just like something you'd see at the...Ducks Underbelly site.

I HOPE that paranoia doesn't take hold over a potential legal battle, because the HRC does NOT have a case. Website posts do not MAKE a case.

the City Council controls the commission's budget, estimated at $193,100 this fiscal year.

The city could save $193,099.00 by cutting the commission's budget to $1.00.

Excerpts from the website that started it all... Freepwatch.com aka... http://sf.indymedia.org/news/2003/09/1639517_comment.php#1646092

Attend the Freeper rally and picnic sept. 12th & 13th by Freepwatch Network Monday September 01, 2003 at 08:58 PM Activists: attend the Freeper Rally and Picnic sept. 12th & 13th Come disrupt the annual Freeper Rally in Fresno Sept. 12th & 13th 2003 by freeper • Monday September 01, 2003 at 12:40 PM

... get some trucks and start circling around the park with pink and black flags hanging out and keep swerving and hooting out the window and accelerating and braking with a jerky sense of irritation and speed towards pedestrians as though you're not going to stop.

"LSD in the potato salad"

Especially don't mix e coli and LSD. Imagine what a park full of these poor souls would look like, all tripping, throwing up and having diarrhea at the same time. It sure wouldn’t be pretty. Funny, maybe, but not pretty. No sireee, not pretty at all.

Let's take a poll. How many people here would laugh their butts off if they saw something like that?

LSD and bacteria in Freeper food?

Hey, you know how Sherman Austin got sent to jail for a year because of a link that someone else uploaded onto his website ... Also, could we upload those links onto free republic and get the owner of the free republic sent to jail?

A public park on a weekend day ...place for a pitched battle, with guns on one side and firebombs on the other.
