As some of you may have noticed, recently the Republican Party has begun cracking down on the "birthers", realizing that openly supporting the most crazy members of your party is, well, problematic for appealing to non-crazy people. This, of course, leads to even more crazy, as they turn on their leaders for hiding the "truth". It's a drat shame to let all this crazy go to waste, when properly cultivated and raised it could be so much more.
So welcome to the first FreeRepublic Infiltration Contest! We're going to infiltrate freerepublic as agents provocateur. This can take several forms; post absurdly insane/racist/whatever drivel and see if you can get people to agree with it. See if you can start a new line of crazy (it might help to have some other people assisting you with this), start the next "Barak Obama is a secret muslim" "Clinton has had dozens of people killed" "let's start an eve online corporation dedicated to the principles of libertarianism, whoops mommy cut me off give me money for rent I can't survive on my own, whoops I stole everything that wasn't nailed down to ebay for rent since I can't survive in the real world, whoops people faxed pictures of my dick to my law firm LIBERTARIANISM FOREVER". It's probably unnecessary even to back up any claims with supportable facts - make them up. Hell, that you can find references elsewhere on the internet might make it seem sketchy to these people, just use the echo chamber effect.
To participate, you need to register your account with me beforehand - this is to prevent people from taking credit for just general-issue nutters. Do this by pm'ing the name to me (and preferably a link to the user profile), or emailing it to me at evilweasel@somethingawful.com. DO NOT POST IT IN THIS THREAD. There's a decent chance that someone will point this thread out to the freeper community, so we want as little information they can use in this thread. This offers another fun thing you can do: successfully convince the community to ban their own members who are not actually goons once they start witch-hunting. Fortunately since many people have made accounts to troll freerepublic in the past, only banning recent registrations won't help them. Also, it's probably best you not use links to free republic from here to get to the site in case they catch on and start looking at referrers to find the plants.
Winners will receive praise, adulation, and potentially fabulous prizes. Losers will bear the shame of being outwitted by the dumbest people on the internet. Screenshot successes and email them (and a link) to me. Since posting them might blow your cover, I'll be holding on to them for a month or two.
Marks of success: Getting non-goons banned as infiltrators Getting genuine posters to agree to the most absurd things possible Getting a sucessful chain email/conspiracy theory started ect Remember if you get caught you just got outwitted by the dumbest people on the internet.
ATTENTION: Do not do anything illegal or that would get the law involved, as hilarious as it might seem to get all of free republic arrested by the secret service you'll get swept up too and that'd really be a pain in the rear end for everyone so just don't do it. Do not break the law, it will neither be funny nor be rewarded, just don't do it.
DON'T POST ANYTHING THAT WILL GET YOUR ACCOUNTS BANNED IN THIS THREAD
Have fun!
short version: create freep account tell me what it is do stuff with it that is not illegal but is funny tell me once enough time has passed I will reveal what you've done (or you can, whatever) so we can all enjoy prizes awarded
If anything we are the Sarah Palin's of the web.
They(rats everywhere) know we have charisma, document most all of what we say and do,say what we mean and mean what we say, and have the attention of the conservative world.
That alone is enough to scare hell out of any card carrying DBM/DNC alumni or rats everywhere.
Just let the Undead Threaders know if one of the SA forum trolls gets a zot thread.
We’ll make a special sidetrip just for them.
Numbers of posts and credibility have nothing to do with each other.
It’s not just noobs. There are some very old members that seen to have had a major change in their world outlook.
____________
Definitely. Either they were always trolls or changed their views over a 10-12 year period.(saquin is one)
No doubt in my mind that WOSG is a sleeper troll.
___________
Yep, so is saquin. Some FReepers made a troll list and it seems pretty accurate. Many times I suspect someone is and BINGO, there they are. I think everyone should have to donate at least 10.00 a year to post here. Surely everyone can afford at least that much.
Oh, I love those guys at somethingawful. They provided me with my FIRST hate thread!! You aren’t making progress as a conservative without it! They even mention that I’m a FReeper! Hehe.
Mind you, I’m their idea of “worst congressional candidate”. High praise, indeed:
Need a temporary moratorium on new accounts, Jim.
Some of the people I disagree with most are people with long time registration dates. And I don’t remember them being here in the late nineties.
Can you back channel me one of these troll lists? I’d like to confirm my suspicions.
Nah, we're used to this kind of leftist foolishness. We just keep pounding their ugly little heads whenever they pop up. It's like whack-a-mole.

I'll grant that is true with some spam posters.
Evidently so. How else can you explain why everyone is saying that Obama is polished and suave and gives better speeches than Lincoln, or that Michelle is the best dressed, most sophisticated woman in the world?
It was the same with bill clinton in the 90s. I couldn't stand looking at him. The first time I saw him on TV, I was repelled. But he sure had a lot of fans, and swooning women.
Or just take a look at the supermarket tabloids. "So-and-so is divorcing So-and-so," or "So-and-so is dating so-in-so. Then they print photos of some surly looking guy in jeans and a t-shirt who hasn't shaved for two days, or some ugly-looking broad in a ridiculous dress who looks like she hates the world. I presume they are celebrities, and have huge numbers of fans ready to buy the tabloids, but I don't know who they are, and I really don't want to know.
There's no accounting for taste. Obama is a CELEBRITY. Hitler too was a CELEBRITY. Audiences swooned over him. To me, Hitler looked ridiculous, but evidently the Germans didn't think so. They loved him.
The Obama rumpswab bed-wetting lowlife ditch carp America-hating scumbag trolls were out in full force on this thread last night:
Dear Freepers, Don’t Back a Losing Argument: Just Accept the Fact Obama was born in Hawaii (Vanity)

***Fascinating. It was several months ago that JimRob told me to stop hunting CoLB trolls. The tide seems to be turning.
