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
Same old Stuff. Different day year decade.
You outsmarted ‘em again.
That’s what sucks about cyberspace. These ingrates have all kinds of confidence behind the safety of their keyboards. I guarantee they would sh!t their britches if were confronted by 99.9% of us.
Can I still demand President Obama to present his health department birth certificate?
take that language over to the DUmp or some place else young’n, we do not use it here.
DUmbest people on the internet are at DU, Kos, HUFF, WhiteHouse.gov, THOMAS.gov, nytimes.com etc etc
Dumbass doesn't know that its actually the first 15,000 Posts that are screened.
“Send Jim Thompson over there to confiscate their dope, Kool-aid, X-Boxes, clove cigarettes and Doritos. That’ll learn ‘em!!”
You forgot the giant boxes of tissue they keep under their computer desk” They all subscribe to “Utubie porn sites”
Here’s a good one.
iFederico posted: Is Soros going to finance this operation or are we not allowed to discuss this on the unsecure forum?
Squinky v2.0: You probably shouldn’t mention GS or the other forums here. Like evilweasel said, it’s only a matter of time before freepers find this thread. Might want to edit that out.
Asking daddy for money.
Back when the likes of JimRob, Matt Haughey and Drew Curtis were making the interwebs, some little douche decided to rip everyone off and never credit the owners of the media he ripped off. That would be Baum from ebaumsworld.com . And then, a smaller, less capable douche nicknamed Dick Kanker started ripping off the bigger douche, and that’s how somethingawful.com was born.
SA has it’s place, but really, it’s in the basement of the frat house.
On the ‘birther’ issue, I think we have much bigger fish to fry.
Unless someone has solid evidence or standing in our court system then they will just use it against the right.
How about the hard-left taking over the country and ending freedom and prosperity in the United States of America—effectively murdering our Republic?
0bama is just the hood ornament for the commies behind the wheel.
How about unifying against that?
Where he was born is down the priority list a bit right now.
Between the local cop getting pushed ‘round by the black racist, their beers together and this ‘birther’ issue, the left is having a great time watching us wander in the fog.
Meanwhile they march on with the last straw—socialized medicine.
If they pass it, we’re done. Close up the shop because the ‘Shining City on the Hill’ is going dark—guaranteed.
Apparently evilweasel@somethingawful.com has to now, as he wrote, “bear the shame of being outwitted by the dumbest people on the internet.”
Perhaps you could color-code posters who are either newly-registered or have under a threshold number of posts. This would make trolls easier to detect and reduce the waste of energy versus having to read a post first, become suspicious and then run a cursor over their name,
I disagree. MAKE him show it. He never will, credibility will fall.
Wow, this is really the hardcore need-to-get-a-life crowd.
How about giving a short American history/government quiz at sign up? The DU, KOS, Huffpost, etc. trollsacks would flunk it everytime.
Son't they know that Kleenex aren't "green", environmentally friendly and sustainable? They should use lawn trimmings and leaves for that!
I guess that's what happens when you're too homely or smelly to attract a real woman, I guess: If these teenage and 20-something trolls ever took to washing themselves, Irish Spring would be the next Microsoft!!
“run a cursor over their name,”
DOH! I’ve been ‘round since ‘01 and did not know that tool tip feature was there.
Thanks.
LOL! It’s Friday night and FR is a good relax after a long day.
Clinton has had dozens of people killed.
Well, that's my quota for the day.
