You need tons click "co-ordinating"

Of franc Patalong

Votes are a fine thing, the butter on message bread. They give a feedback to the on-line Medienmacher, how the reader sees a thing. George W. Bush regard nearly 60 per cent of the readers of MIRROR ON-line ONE for example as a Top president. We know also, why.

From the guidance for the falsification of the Mirror On-line Votes: "You need tons cklick ' co-ordinating!'" The widow Vivian Freep from Midland (Texas) is "George Bush's biggest more supporter".

Beautifully for Bush, the European imagines there, but in an American conservative Credos ascends equal the anger. An insolence is that, which does not want to say no more and less than the following: Bushs success is based on the assistance of humans, who manipulate, disturbs, falsifies.

Because "Freeping" is an Slang expression. He means the nocturnal pasting over of election posters, the organization of being noisy area MOS, the purposeful disturbing of appearances of political opponents and - not least - the massive falsification of tunings in the InterNet.

The strange term developed for end of the nineties and goes back on the web page "Free Republic" of the ultrakonservativen activists Jim Robinson. "Freep", how the web page was fast called by fans, understands itself as "a conservative message forum". Principal item of the offer is the panel, in which it goes partly violently to the thing.

The conservative click Guerilla

Free Republic began as Clinton Hasser side, developed themselves further however fast. First Lorbeeren harvested the "Freep Movement", when the side began to call in various elections for the "support" of conservative candidates.

Completely concretely: It concerned to disturb demonstrations of the democrats to tear off or falsify posters, to opponents to support actively. Already as itself Bill Clinton saw, to organized Freep groups in different US cities "info. meetings" and switched newspaper advertisements confronted with an office expulsion procedure. The term "Freeping" developed and meant: Over tones the opponent.

I fully intend to vote. But there's no need to stoop to that sort of language in order to exhort me to do so.

We dominate. You imitate.

They weren't German, were they? I was sure they said "Netherlands" and I think they were getting advice from the FreeDominion folks.

*shrug*

The German I studied in Jr. High and High (Middle) School has been virtually useless in my daily life. (Even when I had a German roommate). The smatterings of Spanish, Vietnamese, Mandarin Chinese, Thai, and Hindi that I picked up along the way are slightly more useful.

English is by far the worlds most popular second language. When it's your first language, there isn't a clear choice as to what to learn next...

But it sure is fun!!!!!!!!!!

So don't laugh about a few mistakes of a foreigner.

I wasn't laughing at you. Expressing pity, yes. Laughing, no.

Thats why many europeans - even conservatives - are afraid of your way leading to dictatorship.

You're projecting your problems on us. But Americans are a far more independent lot, and we won't hanging thirty-meter-long portraits of a Fuhrer any time soon.

Meantime, you'll just have to choke back your envy and try to convince yourself you're doing the right thing.

[Petronski]

Your budget deficit is already the biggest world has ever seen.

As is our GDP.

While most of you americans never left your own country (unless there is a war, not being able to get unfiltered information of foreign media many germans can even read your newspapers, your tv and your web-pages.

Americans read foreign news sources. Esepecially FReepers. How do you think we wound up at Der Spiegel's webpoll anyway?

[mabelkitty]

Don't call out to us for help when Chirac runs rough shod over your country - our military bases are being moved to friendlier and far more receptive allies.

Of course you don't understand that - you think only tyrants who murder Germans should be ousted from power and all others should remain. You have no shame.

[sarasmom]

You miss the point.
We know a staggering amount about the rest of the world.
We just think you are arrogantly and needlessly ignorant, and jealous,petty socialists.
BTW, I spent a few years in your country.
In my educated opinion,the beauty of the landscape is wasted on the emptiness of your souls.
But do enjoy your short sojourn here!

Well, maybe 30 m protraits of Hillary!™...

Why is Free Republic the only site ever cited by the media for engaging in this activity of sending readers to online polls? FR is not the only site that does this (or even the only one that successfully does this).

The media knows this. We are the only ones who get called out for it. Why does the left get a pass?
