VANITY: The "Truth" about JimRob and Free Republic according to BADJOE

LibertyPost.org | 10/10/03 | BADJOE (Slightly revised by JimRob)

[Jim Robinson]

Dear Free Republic Friends,

My old friend and brother-in-arms BADJOE has promised to warm the cockles of our hearts by publishing an expose (the truth about JimRob and Free Republic according to Joe) on the 18th of this month, which represents the one year anniversary of the date he last posted to FreeRepublic.com and started up with LibertyPost.org.

So, as I believe that only the truth can set you free, and based upon the stratergery of pre-emptive strike, I have a confession to make (before BADJOE makes it public):

I have poisoned the well.

By my sly innuendos behind the scenes.

By my intellectual ineptitude.

By not trusting those that brung me to the dance to bring me home.

By my biting every hand that fed me.

By my arrogance that causes me to think I did it all by myself.

By my stubborness not because of principle, but because of my lack of ability to see what is transpiring.

Evidenced by:

One would think that with half again as many Freepers. with a recovering economy, It would take a great deal less time to raise the necessary funds.

By this time in the June 2002 effort with a goal of $70,000 we had raised $73,000. Not because of who did the fundraising, but because the sense of purpose, of family, of comaraderie, was still present.

BADJOE rang the warning bell, but none heard.

Conclusion:

It is a sad day.

For what was once a great hope, a means of bringing together those who are willing to pay dearly in blood, sweat, and money to save this country, we all love, has been reduced to an asterisk.

So sayeth BADJOE as he promises to publish all this and much more on the 18th. He's been feverishly working on this "project" for one full year. In addition to the "truth about JimRob" BADJOE intends to further betray our trust placed in him by revealing the names of our moderators. And who knows what else?

I can hardly wait.

Is it the 18th yet? Tick, tock.

[Jim Robinson]

'Tis a sad day indeed.

I fall to my knees and humbly beg forgiveness for all my past misdeeds. God will surely punish me for my sins.

AM, set phasers to "penitence" for JimRob...

[Support Free Republic]

Let's keep the Dem's on the run!

[Always Right]

Boy you sound scared. The thing is, this 'expose' will probably gain you attention (and support), assuming anyone actually bothers to read it. It would be ashame if badjoe spend a year of his life on a project and no one reads it.

[Jim Robinson]

Great post!!

[RedBloodedAmerican]

It seemed for a long time coming that BadJoe was a modern day Absalom.

You have a good group surrounding you now. You started FR without him, it will continue without him. Let them have their lies, you have FR.

"Liberty Post? What's that? Who cares?"



and a shout out to ROWDEE! ROWWRR BABY!! YOU SET ME AFIRE!!

[Hildy]

What the hell is this about?

[The Other Harry]

Shouldn't this be posted to chat? ;)

[Gumption]

People suck, don't they Jim?

[RedBloodedAmerican]

got ping?

[MonroeDNA]

WTF?

Here's another $100 to the cause.

(Those who believe in this place, please, please, PLEASE become a monthly donor. Just $3 a month, by reoccurring credit card. Simple, paniless, and you will feel great seeing the charge.)

[dirtboy]

Now, what should you do to atone for your sins? I think you should be forced to read "The Collected Wisdom of Lew Rockwell, Jr.". Your sentence should be completed in time for afternoon tea.

[dirtboy]

What the hell is this about?

Some troll named Jim Robinson.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

LOL! Someone called me bigoted on here the other day.

My reply is "I ain't bigoted. I hate everyone!"

[RightWhale]

revealing the names of our moderators.

Wow! What if they turn out to be Tom Daschle and Hillary Clinton? Some of us might not be able to post again for hours because of psychological shock.

[nutmeg]

read later bump (what on earth is all this about???)

[Jim Robinson]

(It's rally just a behind the scenes conspiracy to sex-up the current fundraising drive that's stuck in the doldrums. BADJOE was the best fundraiser we ever had. Raised something over $700,000 over a three year period or so. Connect the dots.)

[MonroeDNA]

Sorry. Just know this is going to be a high volume thread! lol!!!!

[vetvetdoug]

WTF? Just damn....I guess its better if one is kept in the dark. Ignorance is bliss.

[rwfromkansas]

Is the fundraiser not going as fast this time around? It seems to be taking forever.

[TomServo]

Am I logged on or are you turning off the lights? ;-)

[nutmeg]

ping!

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.

[ChadGore]

Jim: You assume people care about . . who ever this is, and we just do not.

You've done a fantastic job running what is an asset to the consevative movement in the United States, and deserve congradulations.

[small voice in the wilderness]

You know there's a 30-day rehab program for just this problem. It involves non-stop Barry Manilow music and visualizations of helen thomas shopping at Victoria's Secret.

[Jim Robinson]

Way to go!! Thank you MonroeDNA!!

Aren't there rules against bringing cross-forum flame wars to FR?

[Always Right]

It's rally just a behind the scenes conspiracy to sex-up the current fundraising drive that's stuck in the doldrums.

LOL, GW has nothing on you.

[Incorrigible]

Does this qualify as an Opus?

[dirtboy]

visualizations of helen thomas shopping at Victoria's Secret.

Ugh. I'd rather not. I always figured that Helen shopped at Tractor Supply Company.

[malakhi]

I fall to my knees and humbly beg forgiveness for all my past misdeeds.

I think I was groped by a moderator, once.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Didn't they come into a verbal or written agreement re: privacy about their knowledge of FR behind the scenes when they were onboard working with you? I would think it would be very easy to sue for breaking that agreement, no matter where they go. For example, Big Idea Productions just got sued for breaking a verbal agreement for promotional work and are now in bankruptcy. Not quite the same, but regarding breaking agreements, it looks like you could win.

But they probably aren't worth it. Man, those guys at that site are so bitter.

[JimVT]

..... by publishing an expose (the truth about JimRob and Free Republic according to Joe) on the 18th of this month,

Oh, boy...I can't wait....do you know if executive summaries will be available?

I wonder if Katie Couric will do him! Did I say that?

[Jhoffa_]

Bump for Free Republic!

[dirtboy]

I think I was groped by a moderator, once.

And they're all anonymous. How convenient...

[netmilsmom]

Excuse me Sir, but I thought we were not suppose to post from "The Onion".

*snicker*

[dirtboy]

I wonder if Katie Couric will do him!

Nah, she only gets down for Hillary.

[malakhi]

I feel so dirty now...

[Gumption]

I think you should be forced to read "The Collected Wisdom of Lew Rockwell, Jr."

I know you're only kidding but I think you may have inadvertently exposed a disconcerting amount of pure evil only succumbed to by the likes of Stalin or Hitler. You may want to get that checked out. ;^)

[dirtboy]

I feel so dirty now...

Take two showers and call me in the morning.

[Revelation 911]

pre-emptive ramble

I wonder if BadJoe will let us talk about gay behavior, m*rm*n doctrine or the weather?

has anyone seen polycarp?

[Sabertooth]

A good group of people on LP are just a bunch of bitter ex-FReepers who get bitch and moan about being banned all day.

Posters are a mixed bag at both sites. There are good posters at both LP and FR.

[AppyPappy]

I fall to my knees and humbly beg forgiveness for all my past misdeeds. God will surely punish me for my sins.

Rise above, Jim.

[Jim Robinson]

I'm wondering who will play BadJoe in the movie. Gotta be Mel Gibson playing JimRob.

[newgeezer]

Hey, 'Wonk. I think I just discovered where those disgruntled former FReepers go. :-)

[Conservababe]

What bothers me is that Badjoe had my credit card number in several fundraisers.

[RaceBannon]

My sister bit a moderator once

A moderator bit my sister once.

Moderator bites can be very nasty!
