September 10, 2004: Freerepublic records highest new signups for a Friday since start of Iraq war
Freerepublic.com ^ | September 11, 2004 | nwrep

Due to continued publicity spurred by the controversy over the suspect CBS memos, the conservative website Freerepublic.com garnered the largest number of new user signups (or accounts) for a Friday on September 10, 2004 since the start of the Iraq war.

A total of 277 new users signed up yesterday. That compares to 289 who signed up on Friday, March 21, 2003, the week that the Iraq was started. That day holds the record for the largest number of Friday signups ever.

It was on a Freerepublic.com message board that a user first noticed the discrepant features in the CBS memos.

Further investigation by other online blogs and media outlets has shown the memos to be likely forgeries.

We were zapping them left and right yesterday.

Your viking cats were probably lazing around today with full bellies, digesting yesterday's kills.

You're right. Tomas let me sleep until 7:00am instead of pestering me for cat food at 5:30. He was full of troll...

even trolls (tho you probably won't be around too long.)

Very True!! Trolls just cannot help themselves. Inevitably they show their true colors, and usually very quickly. Although, I am quite sure there are a few that have joined and are lurking for a while to 'throw us off'.

I've noticed that some blogger or whatever is getting credit for uncovering the CBS deception.

powerlineblog.com seems to be the one. (The sixty-first minute noted the now famous Post 47.

powerlineblog credits two of its readers, Tom Mortensen and Liz MacDougald. I don't know if they are freepers, or maybe lurkers.

powerlineblog.com properly credits FR.

Once the questions were released into the blogosphere, it took off like a prairie fire.

Buckhead properly credits freepers Howlin and TankerKC for starting the questioning of the memos' authenticity.

TankerKC was interviewed on Patterico's Pontifications today. Patterico is a freeper, I believe.

Pinging the others since I mention them in this post.

Thanks (re:taglline)

When you think about it, Zell's smackdown on little Chrissy was the most entertaining thing that has been on that show in years. Even though I know he is a dyed-in-wool demoDOOF, I used to think that Matthews was a bit more objective (before Bush was elected). Ever since W was elected, little Chrissy (along with most of the other lefty kooks) has lost his scruples.

I wrote to PMSNBC and told them that they should have someone on Chrissy's show each night that will smack him around like he deserves. Then, and only then, would I even consider watching.
