The liberal media have been "freeping" the polls for years by calling up welfare mothers during the daytime to ask their opinions on the issues of the day...

I couldn't get past the "soccer mom carrying a peace sign" image. That ain't happenin'....but I can see why the SF writer might be that out-of-touch with reality.

As I recall, some these on-line polls make a point of saying that they are for entertainment purposes. Guess us FReepers know how to be entertained and have a good time.

The media folks should know that random sample polling is the only way to go. Although, I don't put too much trust in the media's ability to execute polling that produces results within margins of error claimed.

A San Fransisco reporterette interviewed me today (don't remember if it's this paper or not.) She says that she is trying to write a fair and balanced piece about FreeRepublic and other web sites. She said she had already interviewed someone from DU. It's going to be interesting to see what she writes. If no one beats me to it, I'll post the article when it comes out.

Delusional left. A few weeks back they were claiming poll results couldn't be trusted because more Republicans than Dems. voted in internet polls.

That explains, of course, why the CNN poll yesterday asking whether voters trusted the President or the UN more showed 2/3rds of the voters trusted the UN (which proves the failure of the mainstream news media to inform the people, as well as debunks the liars on the left re. "Freeping" polls).

A Gannett reporter was ready to attack Freepers during the Florida 2002 election - claimed we were skewing poll results (she was responding in a huff to a DU whine). I slammed back a list of over 50 Dem. websites promoting campaigns to e-mail polls, including many of the major leftist special interest groups. Clymers. The VLWC has been skewing polls, news and elections for decades. FR is national self-defense.

Incidentally, a SFGate journalist blasted me a few days ago when I suggested that their weekend poll question showed a lack of understanding. How dare we question the left. Have you noticed that following the Nov. elections the left has had, as Peter Jennings would say, a collective "temper tantrum"?

The difference could be that polls are FReeped by Americans, while anti-American polls on Time Magazine, etc. are invaded and exploited by Internet sweatshops in Iraq and North Korea.

Ah! Were he alive today, Shakespeare himself would be a Freeper. I can imagine Hamlet saying, "To Freep or nor to Freep, that is the question" or Mark Anthony: "Friends, Romans and Freepers".

FR used to be filled with little sissy boys who didn't like to FReep polls. Fortunetly we haven't heard from them in a while.
