Neil Cavuto's a FReeper... He panned my FR post about the Transgendered 8 year-old in Colorado....

[redrunner]

So this topic of a Transgendered 8 year old has been posted several times on FR, but Neil Cavuto interviewed some wacky child psycholgist... While he is interviewing this dude, He shows my FR post in the background!!! I believe Caputo is a FReeper...

[redrunner]

I tried to post directly to FOX, but I couldn't get there... So I borrowed a Feministe.com link to it... It is half way down the page... FReepers ought to have some fun with the Feministe drivel too...

[redrunner]

Doh... pan = panned

[mnehrling]

You would be surprised who all are FReepers. :->

Just bring up the alcohol(ic) habits of one of the talking heads and next thing you know you'll find one of his or her friends giving you "what for" right here in FR.

You can usually conjur up Martha Stewart or one of her top staff people simply by talking about mail order sales.

[redrunner]

Your brush with greatness, huh?

Hey... I did it in my PJ's too...

Your 15 minutes of fame are now up!............

..But...but...but...it’s a *jobless* recovery!...

[Army Air Corps]

Any examples?

[Obadiah]

LOL!!

[Sub-Driver]

The list is long........

[DGHoodini]

Yep! HRC and the Obamas are Freepers... >B^)

[mware]

I don’t know about all radio and tv hosts, but I know that Tony Snow told his snowflakes that FR was require show prep for his radio show before he got the gig at the White House.

[ClearCase_guy]

Well, there’s Ron Jeremy ...

[SamAdams76]

Freeper or not, most radio talk show hosts source Free Republic for talking points about the issues of the day. I almost drove off the road a couple of times when Howie Carr or Jay Severin read one of my posts over the air almost word for word.

Speaking of claim for fame, everytime a celebrity dies, I rush to Wikipedia hoping to be the one who gets to update the entry with the date of death. So far I have been thwarted every time but I press on and eventually I will get to close the parentheses on somebody.

I tape Neil and watch instead of the John and Heather fiasco

Neil is at the very top of the line up, right after Brit

How exciting. Congrats.

The sad fact about transgendered people is that most of them are very unhappy, confused people, some of whom really are physical hermaphrodites. Changing outward appearance doesn’t always solve the unhappiness, just contributes to it.

My guess is that the parents felt that if they let the kid become a girl before publerty, the physical changes (hormonal) would be less dramatic and the mental problems less traumatic.

My husband has known two transgendered “women”, who went through the whole operation and they both regretted it and are completely miserable.

Smile. I told a well known historian that he didn’t know what he was talking about. I should check peoples descriptions before I flame them I guess . . .

I’m the one who came up with the idea that Hillary is America’s ex-wife. Rush borrowed it. ;)

[My Favorite Headache]

Yeah I was watching this segment live when it happened..I thought there would have been a thread mentioning it..shocked there wasn’t.

[Army Air Corps]

I have heard that several talk radio personalities are members. It would be interesting if any film or TV personalities were also members.

[ladyjane]

You still can claim the dream you had right before 9/11 about a skyscraper collapsing. Wasn’t that you?

[redrunner]

Yeah I was watching this segment live when it happened..I thought there would have been a thread mentioning it..shocked there wasn’t.

I just glad my boss didn't see it... I did it at work....

[rightwingintelligentsia]

What was your post?

[moondoggie]

Either Neal is a Freeper or a member of his staff responsible for show prep.

[muawiyah]

If not HRC one of her staffers. Used to be that when the Clintons were in the White House and you thought they were stealing something you'd always get a reaction out of HRC a few days later that let everyone know she'd heard.

Until the rise of the blogs everyone was fairly limited to using FR for rational discussion (or otherwise) and spots like DU were total madness. So, big time Dems were over here all the time.

[redrunner]

What was your post?

Yes... Dumb luck I guess...

[SamAdams76]

That was me. I’m still a little creeped out by the whole episode.

[fanfan]

LOL!

Wrong thread?

[Old Retired Army Guy]

You have to remember that he has a lot of people on staff who are constantly searching everything on the internet and the media for stories they can use. Cavuto’s time to do these things on his own is very limited. It’s very possible and most likely probable that someone on his staff regularly checks in on FR for news/stories because it is a good source.

[bannie]

Too cool!!!

As an avid reader of the corrupt-but-entertaining Nat'l Enquirer I discovered an article about the death of Marlon Brando's son which mentioned Internet chatter which, I believe, was from FR.

It quoted Internetees, discussing the fact that dying of pneumonia was probably doctorese for dying of AIDS. The verbiage rang some familiarity bells in my "enquiring mind."

[DocRock]

I had one, too.

[Beagle8U]

Wow thats great!

I knew Shep has gay and O’Reilly was a transvestite but didn’t know Cavuto was a freeper./ sarc.

I wonder how much he reads here?

[Nice50BMG]

I wonder if Tony Snow is back?

[pt17]

Neil is at the very top of the line up, right after Brit

Yup, IMHO he's one of the best of the best.

[bannie]

I never thought of becoming a WickedPedia. I think I just may join in your race: Desperately seeking my claim to fame!

[ladyjane]

If it makes you feel any better, psychoanalysts think dreams of collapsing skyscrapers have more to do with “fear of failure” at you-know-what rather than seeing into the future.

Feeling better about it? LOL

[mnehrling]

It is always funny when someone makes a smarta** comment about someone and that person is a member and responds. (follow the posted link backwards.)

It’s the sincerest form of flattery!

You are now a ghost writer!
