These “freepers” attack the idea that the United States is or should be a democracy with venom.

Here's a clue, pal -- This country was founded as a constitutional republic, not as a democracy.

[IronJack]

... “freepers” ... often attempt to infiltrate Democratic or progressive groups by claiming to be Democrats or progressives to stir up conflict or give credence to stereotypes of their opponents they wish to promote. Fundamentally, these “freeper” tactics are fascist in nature or worse.

Uh, what is that saying about people in glass houses? These tactics were created and honed to an art by the "underground" Left during its salad days in the 60's. And before that, by the National Socialists under Adolph Hitler. Yes, they are fascist in nature, and are wholeheartedly embraced and practiced regularly by the Left!

Sometimes, their tactics appear to cross the line into criminal behaviors. Emails with viruses are sent.

Hogwash.

Websites are hacked and vandalized.

Lies.

Faked emails are sent with insulting or obscene content that seem to be coming from prominent Democratic or progressive Internet activists but are really being sent from “freepers.”

Very possible. And very legal. Read the First Amendment, you phony piece of crap. And before you go casting stones, take a look at the skanks and the freaks sitting beside you.

Talk about "projection"...

[bubbacluck]

Projection, pure and simple.

I agree, it is projection.

[RatsDawg]

Interesting that FR started having sevice problems after this thread was posted.

[Grimmy]

Politics these days, has a kind of late 1850s feel to it.

[dearolddad]

Well said, screw BOR

He's not exactly my type.

[FastCoyote]

“Recently, we are finding that thousands of pieces of spam are being sent that claims falsely to be coming from various fake names @democraticTalkRadio.com when no emails are ever sent from addresses using @democratictalkradio.com. Our mailbox is being flooded with undelivered spam being returned so real email does not always get to us.”

I think they answered too many Viagra ads and have caught some email viruses that have nothing to do with being freeped.

[Jim Robinson]

ROFLOL!!

[ExTexasRedhead]

Where’s the story and hit piece about the “far-left wing traitors and scum at moveon.org??? Liberals only whine and cry when we’re getting them good.

The Internet Should Work Like Our Democracy

Hey pal, I believe it does.

[DTogo]

Easily fixed:

“Progressives” attack open message boards and blogs with smear campaigns in which they use profanity and obscenities, hate-filled language, character attacks and false accusations. Every idea that is christian, conservative or traditional is labeled bigoted, racist, homophobic, nazi, or intolerant. Anyone who does not completely follow the line of the Moveon.Org Far Left is called a "neocon" or supporter of Bush-Cheney-Halliburton-PNAC war machine.

[Libloather]

Internet harassment of Democratic or progressive political activists is a serious problem

No it isn't. Who's next?

[Dianna]

Some individuals who have been active in the past at sites like Free Republic.com have been connected to acts like the mailing of anthrax hoax letters. There is some Internet speculation that the deadly, real anthrax attacks shortly after 9-11 might have come from people who share political values with the “freepers” or who might be “freepers.” Unfortunately, the Bush Administration has still not solved the Anthrax Attack case.

Jim Rob, if you don't make them prove this BS...

[Berlin_Freeper]

They left out eating babies.

[darkangel82]

Aww, the communists don’t like us. Too bad.

[Jim Noble]

[SpaceBar]

“Freepers” attack open message boards and blogs with smear campaigns in which they use profanity and obscenities, racist language, character attacks and false accusations. Every idea that is moderate, liberal or progressive is labeled communist or socialist. Anyone who does not completely follow the line of the Republican Far Right is called a traitor or supporter of terrorism.

I would strongly suggest to Jim Robinson and the management of Free Republic that these allegations be either proven by the authors of the article or a lawsuit should follow for libel.

[BerniesFriend]

yeah yeah..and freepers also are responsible for hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, tsunamis, framing OJ for double murder and armed robbery, etc..I mean..can you PROVE freepers DIDN’T have a hand in any of them..hmmmmm...

[justDave]

They will always take what they do and try to smear US with it. But they usually do it just before they do something big; then they can say we were just reacting to what they have been doing to us. SO the question is whats on their minds now?
