Title of Thread Repeated In Body of Thread 5/6/11 Red Fox This is a thread titled Title of Thread Repeated In Body of Thread. And now the body of the thread: Title of Thread Repeated In Body of Thread.

She’s an above-average fundraiser (see the graph towards the bottom of the page here), an assiduously on-message interviewee, a rep from a crucial swing state, and of course a woman, which may help Democrats marginally with a key demographic. Oh, and she’s also a “heroine” to Planned Parenthood, natch. Congrats, Debbie. Now for your first lesson on messaging. Repeat after me: “Republicans want to kill grandma.” She would be the first woman to serve as the permanent head of the committee in a presidential election year, party officials said. At least two women have served short stints in the position,...

A. So that even the blind could hate them. This is one of my favourite jokes from a new book published today called 365 Ways To Drive A Liberal Crazy. Modesty forbids me from naming the author but if you buy it in sufficient quantities I can offer you his cast-iron guarantee that not a penny of the proceeds will be spent on anything remotely worthy or eco-friendly. Perhaps they will go towards rescuing one of his children from the state education system, so that one day they can look down on David Cameron’s kids and despise them for not

Blog Police Creeps Are George Soros Plants For at least a month now a crew of three or four screen names here on Free Republic have been used to spam post after post all across the board. They have decided that they are Free Republic's police, they think they speak for the whole board, and have been attempting to drive people off this site. But are they real FReepers? Or are they something else? It is pretty clear that they are being paid to do this by a George Soros-styled, left wing organization to spam FR, attack posters, and attempt...

Over the last few weeks I have been received up to 5 calls a day from these fraudsters from the "Prolixus" people. They call claiming to be from the "Prolixus Identity Protection Center" and they claim that I contacted them earlier for a call back. Well the problem is their product is a "male enhancement" product and I am female. This doesn't seem to stop them from calling me for what seems like ALL of the time. I have on several occasions demanded to talk to a supervisor who then assured me I would be taken off of their list...

Earlier this week conservative columnist Ben Shapiro came up with his list of the 5 most annoying Republicans<-----(here). Its a mighty fine list too, but I'm going to focus on his number one choice since she also happens to be my top pick. Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the most annoying Republican of all? This cover, corrected with Photoshop from the version that hit bookstores, was originally found at iOwnTheWorld This is going to be a tough post for me because there is already so much great stuff out there that has been said about her...such as... It...

What FReepers Annoy You the Most? And why? I'm fairly annoying so I figure it falls on me to post this.

On screen, many of these celebrities entertain us—they make us laugh and make us cry. But when they turn political, what was once a fun, entertaining, and dare I say quasi-intelligent celebrity, turns into the most annoying, irritating dullards we’ve ever come across. Normally, their silly political beliefs would be cast aside—we wouldn’t even hear about them! But due to their celebrity, we’re forced to endure their stupidity. Here are eight celebrities, in descending order, whose fat mouths we can certainly do without. 8. Robert Redford Actor/director/eco-nutjob Robert Redford won’t admit it, but he’s happy with the BP oil leak...

What is more annoying and obscene -- the World Cup vuvuzelas or the sound of Obama's voice?

Is anyone else getting this HUGE ad on the FOX news website? I'm about to switch to cBS to get my news if they don't stop... *lights torch....grabs pitchfork....raises fist in anger*

I see this skinny blonde with her grating voice now and then. She was on O'Reilly tonight. Who is she? Who pays her to run around bashing the fat and thinking up government schemes to control their behavior? I wikied her, I googled, there's some out there who claim she's an MD. I figure there's someone on FR who can inform me.

Is there anyway of blocking these roll over ads in Firefox other than not moving your mouse over them? I am logged in and have been stunned by these....

I am appalled by some of the vitriol posted here. President-Elect B. Hussein Obama deserves the same respect that Democrats have given President Bush for the last eight years. I for one will try to re-double that amount of respect. I hope you will all join me...

You May Want To Pass This On To Your Enemies....I’ll admit that sometimes I may get on my parents’ nerves, especially when I bark incessantly at the children getting off the school bus. But compared to this parrot, I could bark for 24 hours straight and still be considered the lesser of two evils. Take a look and see what you think....http://boknowsonline.com/2008/06/18/soothing-baby-parrot-sounds/

Comedienne Rosie O'Donnell has hit back after she was named the world's most annoying celebrity by insisting all stars are irritating.

Mr. & Mrs. Fred Thompson will be interviewed on Hannity & Colmes tonight.

"Head On - Apply Directly To The Forehead." This commercial drives me crazy! Tell me I'm not alone!

March 9, 2007 For people who have trouble dealing with an alarm clock telling them it’s time to get up, here’s one potential solution – it’s an alarm clock that runs away and torments you until you get up. When Clocky was just a design concept it received a lot of attention, but now it’s a real product. When the alarm sounds, Clocky will start beeping. You can set him to run away immediately the alarm sounds, or you can set it to snooze once for your chosen number of snooze minutes and if you don't get up, Clocky will...

Getting damn sick of every other post from some ninny trying to sound smart and important. Go get a blog you people, nobody cares!

Registered voters are very popular with campaign workers in the final hours before the mid-term election. Both the Democrats and Republicans in Pima County put an army of volunteers to work as the deadline drew closer. The politically passionate citizens were working the phones, dialing for votes in a last minute rush to get their candidates into office. They do it every election year but this year reports show political candidates are running more ads and making more calls than ever before. They believe it'll bring out the vote, but some voters say it's making them think about skipping the...

"Star Wars: The Phantom Menace alien Jar Jar Binks has been voted the most annoying film character of all time. In a poll of 5,000 movie fans by UK website LoveFilm.com, the computer generated Binks beat out competition from Andie MacDowell's character, Carrie, in Four Weddings And A Funeral. Third most irritating is Rowan Atkinson's Bean, followed in fourth place by Jim Carrey's Ace Ventura: Pet Detective character. In fifth place is Ben Stiller's White Goodman in Dodgeball."

It's time to watch the Today Show. The best news the annoying perky one could get is that her old show is doing better without her. Then, after a week or two, stop watching again. FreeRepMates Unite!

THESE ARE THE SENATORS WHO VOTED TO GIVE SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS TO ILLEGAL ALIENS REGARDLESS OF POLITICAL PARTY, THESE POLITICIANS NEED TO BE DEFEATED IN 2006, 2008 OR 2010, WHENEVER THEY NEXT COME UP FOR OFFICE. SEND THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW; THE ENTIRE POPULATION OF THE UNITED STATES NEEDS TO KNOW THIS INFORMATION -- THAT IS, UNLESS THEY DO NOT MIND SHARING THEIR SOCIAL SECURITY WITH FOREIGN WORKERS WHO NEVER PAID INTO IT AND AMERICAN CITIZENS ARE BEING LEFT OUT. Grouped by Home State Alabama: Alaska: Stevens (R-AK), Yea Arizona: McCain (R-AZ), Yea Arkansas: Lincoln (D-AR), Yea Pryor (D-AR),...

I am curious why none of the media covers the most important aspect of the Malvo shootings. If you look at Newspapers on the dates when the shootings are underway you discover something I find quite interesting. The shootings begin to dominate the news the day before the debate on the Iraq war starts and they catch them the day after the declaration of war??? If you ask most people "do you remember the debate about starting the second Iraq war", they will all answer "yes of course". But if you followup with the question "name one point in the...

I recently received a reply to a post that stated: "This should be beneath a "freeper". Sad." So I asked.. what is it that makes a FReeper? My reply (and I will admit was tasteless) was also questioning. It stirred controversy and was removed? Why Moderators? Can you not tell me? Did it not meet with your "FReeper" mentality? According to all posted guidelines it should be listed but no, you chose to delete it. Yes.. I'm the first one IBTZ, I'm sure you'll nick me for speaking up..

Fellow Americans, there comes a time every mans life when we must give up ourselves before we are worthy to recieve. There comes a time in this war on terror when in order to protect liberty, we have to give it up in the mean time for safty. That's right folks. Today, Americans have forsaken the creator for the creation and have decided that they would value our "civil liberties" than protecting western civilization and rich white people from the tender mercies of radical Islamic terrorists. Selfish liberals insist and whine that Bush has no right to spy on Americans...

It's no joke. Last Thursday, President Bush signed into law a prohibition on posting annoying Web messages or sending annoying e-mail messages without disclosing your true identity. In other words, it's OK to flame someone on a mailing list or in a blog as long as you do it under your real name. Thank Congress for small favors, I guess. This ridiculous prohibition, which would likely imperil much of Usenet, is buried in the so-called Violence Against Women and Department of Justice Reauthorization Act. Criminal penalties include stiff fines and two years in prison.

Yaa, you repukes are not doing so well, huh? Imagine, you repukes control the presidency, both houses of Congress, and appointed 7 of the 9 Supreme Court justices. Yet the Supreme Court thre out sodomy laws in all 50 states and recognized the right of government to seize land for any reason. And you couldn't pass your Social Security changes could you? Sorry, that was your last shot. Come November, we're going to start seeing more Democratic faces in the House. It's the end for you guys. You guys are celebrating when Bush's numbers go *up* to 45%. Then Faux...

Bush’s giant Right Wing Noise Machine (RWNM) loves to preach about the Bush economic miracle. In fact, the RWNM’s current thinking is Bush doesn’t spend enough time talking about his economic triumphs. If only he did, then everyone would fall in line and believe in the great Bush economic miracle. There is one problem with this argument: it’s a lie. Any way you look at the Bush economy, it comes up short. Today, I want to compare Bush’s job creation record with other economic recoveries. As usual, Bush comes up way short. The national Bureau of Economic Research has identified...

Why does anybody support George w Bush as President? He is clearly the worst President I have ever seen -- a complete disaster. And before you say anything, I have been a registered Republican for 25 years.

After reading all of the crap that people have been saying regarding Adult Private Social Clubs, I felt that I had to post an article and give my opinion. I am sick and tired of all the religous groups that are saying that there are drugs, prostitution, minors, non-consenting people, and just immoral people at these clubs! First of all, who do these people think they are to decide what is morally right or wrong for me? I believe that I have a good set of morals. I am a law abiding, tax paying citizen, I work full time and...

Lies of omission about 9/11 -- stoking fears of terrorism THEY WANT YOU TO BE AFRAID The following post was censored by freerepublic.com shortly after it was posted on their "public" forum on 9/11/04. That forum is designed to appear as though it is a community forum open to all, but this post only received three responses before it and its replies were deleted, and a repeat posting at 4 am PST on 9/20/04 didn't stay online for 5 minutes! Someone is apparently watching closely over the content of the freerepublic.com forums and censoring them 24/7 (though they might have...

A shop manager's annoyance over problem teenagers hanging around his store is being tackled head on with a noise nuisance device. The Mosquito, which sends out high-pitched soundwaves, is persuading gangs to move on. Robert Gough, who runs the Spar shop in Barry, says the new nine-inch box is a success. As treasurer of PACT (Preventing Anti-Social Crime Together), Mr Gough hopes more businesses will be helped. It's like a buzzing noise. I didn't know where it was coming from, it's not terrible. Shopper Gerda Hunt The box, placed on the outside wall of the store, emits an 80-decibel pulsing...

The end of free Internet content will come when Web browsers start blocking online advertisements by default, a DoubleClick executive has warned. Bennie Smith, the online advertising network's privacy chief, told ZDNet Australia the popularity of tools like Adblock -- an extension to the Mozilla Firefox browser -- which makes blocking online ads simple was tied to "a negative vibe against advertising in general". However, only the online arena is able to easily produce and widely distribute such tools, he added. He said if a similar tool could be produced for newspapers, it would not be accepted by consumers. "You'd...

Many argue that communism will never be possible because of "human nature". The essence of this false argument is the belief that a communist society would consist of an all-powerful central government that would tell everybody what to do--and would therefore undermine the creative initiative of individuals and the search for happiness. • This argument is based on two false assumptions: (1) It assumes that a communist society will look like the former Soviet Union, or the current China, North Korea, etc (ie: corrupt police states with a feudal-style ruling class) (2) It assumes that people will only work in...

Gas costs so much. I cant afford it. Why want Bush do something? Don't say he can't. His daddy or his handlers could be on the phone in 2 minutes with the Rothchilds and by 1 week, oil prices would be under $20 and gas would be 1 dollar a gallon. You know it and I know it. Why want he? Do you know? Is there sombody we can call? Plaese advice.

Val Prieto, at Babalublog, has some fun at the expense of a restaurant in Minneapolis which serves "revolutionary Cuban cuisine" amidst portraits of Che and Fidel. Val writes what getting a real meal is like in Havana... It's a masterpiece of debunking. He floors the guy in that magnificent storytelling way that only he can. >>Revolutionary Cuban cooking!? I wonder if the maitre'd hands everyone a ration card when they walk in the door. Or if they make the cafe cubano like they have been making it in revolutionary Cuba. One thin layer of fresh coffee grounds, one thin layer...

I'm getting damned tired of being made to feel like I have to defend the United States of America against accusations made by people from other countries who consistently prove themselves to be lacking in any respectability or honor whatsoever, and I think it's about time I expressed a few of my more contentious views concerning the "international community" in general. When this country and its coalition partners first invaded Iraq some 21 months ago, the international press began a disinformation campaign of practically unparalleled proportions, designed specifically to turn world opinion against our efforts to root out and destroy...

Outspoken liberal comedian Whoopi Goldberg, who has served as the spokesperson for the weight loss product Slim-Fast since November, was summarily dropped by the company on Wednesday for her incendiary remarks regarding President George W. Bush at a Hollywood fundraiser on behalf of the campaign of Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John F. Kerry (D-MA). In a statement, Slim-Fast General Manager and Vice President of Marketing Terry Olson announced that the Florida-based company does not condone the manner in which Goldberg conducted herself at the Kerry fundraiser that took place at Radio City Music Hall in New York last week and...

WASHINGTON -- Federal authorities are filing the first criminal charges under the government's new anti-spam legislation. Federal officials have announced the arrest of two men in a landmark case from the Detroit area. Four people in Detroit have been charged with e-mailing fraudulent sales pitches for weight-loss products. Two of the suspects have not been found. The cases are the first criminal prosecutions under the government's new "Can Spam" legislation. Officials say they received more than 10,000 complaints about unwanted e-mails. The suspects are accused of disguising their identities in hundreds of thousands of sales pitches and delivering e-mails by...

The 2nd Annual Twenty Most Annoying Liberals In The United States -- The 2003 Edition by John Hawkins Once again this year, Right Wing News has put together a list of the most annoying people on the left. Oh and when I say "annoying," I mean REALLY ANNOYING. We're talking about fingers on a chalk board, crying babies in a movie theater, the neighbor's dog barking at 3 AM, levels of pure left-wing annoyance. So get ready, get set, and go check out the "The 2nd Annual Twenty Most Annoying Liberals In The United States -- The 2003 Edition". Honorable...

Vanity alert... I use Windows XP Home. This annoyance began last week: When I click on the scrollbar with the mouse, the display drops down two screens instead of one. If I hit the "page down" key instead, it behaves normally, dropping down one screen. My wife, at her workplace, uses Windows XP Professional and has the same problem. I read on a tech thread that perhaps a Windows Critical Update that was uploaded last week might be the cause of this? Wonder if anyone else noticed a problem or has a cure?

Alright, I must have gone somewhere I shouldnt have,because I have hundreds of pop-up ads I cannot stop

Every person on the net has one thing in common. They all hate spam. E-mails offering Viagra via the net Anyone who has an e-mail account will have received these unsolicited commercial messages that offer you things you do not want, at prices you will not pay, from companies you will never call. 2002 was a bumper year for these messages and now 30% of all mail flying around the net is thought to be spam. Filtering firm Surf Control has compiled a list of the top 10 most annoying spam messages sent across the net in the last 12...

Now accepting nominations for YOUR list of twenty. Nominations will close on 12 am January 1, 2003, and the results will be posted later the same day. Have fun and don't spare the venom!

If being annoying was a crime, there are a lot of liberals who would be sitting on Death Row in Texas waiting for them to crank up "Old Sparky." But until now, these "serial annoyers" have never gotten their proper due. Well, RWN thinks that's a crying shame. That's why we've punched up a list that's designed to celebrate annoying lefties. So get ready, because it's time for the first annual, "Twenty Most Annoying Liberals In The United States For 2002." Honorary Mentions: Madeline Albright, Robert Altman, Alec Baldwin, Martha Burk, Robert Byrd, James Carville, Noam Chomsky, Hilliary Clinton, Maureen...

Who would have suspected that George W. Bush, a president who came into office vowing to "change the tone" of the meretricious Clinton era (a dark age when America howled under the twin lashes of peace and prosperity), would emerge as the country's leading exponent of situational ethics? Maybe true conservatives always understood. Ever since Ronald Reagan ended his second term with the Department of Education still intact, it's been clear how little even a committed ideologue can achieve in real politics. So it's hardly surprising that Bush, who ran the most content-free campaign since some nameless William Henry Harrison...

RadioShack Corp. is dumping its decades-old, laborious practice of asking customers for their names and addresses at the register. Some of the happiest people to hear the policy change Monday were those who've been doing the asking all these years, said Leonard Roberts, chairman and chief executive officer of RadioShack. "We've been flooded with e-mails from the stores thanking us for dropping it," he said. "We've gotten several hundred just this morning." RadioShack has been collecting customer names and addresses for its mail-order catalog business since before the chain became part of Tandy Corp. in 1963. At one time, the...

Sorry for the vanity posting, but I know that I am not the only that is being bugged by this company daily. I was finally able to trace where the phone calls were coming from as they would always block their phone number. The phone number they are calling from is 1-506-357-2011 and if you call the number back they give you a PO Box where you can write into, but they will not say why they are calling you or what type of service they are. They have been calling me day and night every day of the week...
