Dear Owner of Free Republic: You said you would shut down your site if Romney was nominated.....

[LynneSin]

well we're waiting!

[bluestateguy]

1. Is that statement in writing anywhere?

For months and months throughout 2008 they said they would not vote for John McCain, but one by one they came back to the fold.

[LynneSin]

9. I'm trying to find the link on DU

It was actually Mittens or Ghouliani

[Dead_Parrot]

22. Think this it it:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2725798/posts

"I'd rather shut the place down than be involved in any effort to install abortionist/gay rights pushing RINOS like Romney or Giuliani into the White House!!"

Backpedal in 5... 4... 3...

[FBaggins]

26. He's not backpedaling

This from just a couple hours before this thread started.

29. Some real deep thinkers over there.

[DFW]

62. That is one very sick collection of people.

How did the American education system and health (mental) care fail them so miserably?

[freshwest]

71. Privatization. You know me, DFW, I'm a one-trick pony. LOL.

[pokerfan]

36. captured for posterity

before it gets scrubbed.

[stubtoe]

72. Now they're "the resistance".

he heeee

[pokerfan]

75. Rethuglic Underground?

[gateley]

2. Come to the party, LynneSin -- FR is now The Resistance!

5. Chuckle

They're nuts.

[pscot]

78. That 1st one is pure incitement

It was probably written by a provacateur from the Obama campaign.

[AzDar]

67. " We shove him up your Donkeys in November" ...

[msongs]

3. well he hasnt been nominated.... yet nt

[RZM]

4. Whenever anybody says 'I will do this or that drastic thing if so and so is elected'

It's pretty much an admission that they definitely will not do that thing.

[mac56]

10. +1

[AlbertCat]

27. It's pretty much an admission that

they're spoiled children having a tantrum. I wish they'd all hold their breath until November.

[RZM]

32. This shit happens every four years

In 2004 it was 'I'm leaving the country if Bush is re-elected.' Now it's the freepers saying they won't support Romney. It's all bullshit. Almost nobody left in 2004 and freepland will be Romney central come November.

[Jeff Murdoch]

44. Screw you guys,

I'm going home.

/cartman

[HillWilliam]

73. Make that November

of 2512.

[Justice wanted]

6. We would have to wait until the NRC convention in FLA but we should be asking if he is prepping for

it to happen.

[thelordofhell]

7. Sounds better like this.........

[Rambis]

11. LOLS (nm)

[Rambis]

8. I think Judge Smails put it best

[thelordofhell]

21. Great minds think alike......LOL!!

Beat you by 1 minute!!

[kentauros]

65. And Robinson's reply:

[Typical NYC Lib]

12. I see GT in this thread's future! ;-)

But never trust a rightie to keep his word.

[johnnie]

13. By the look of their site it looks like it was closed down in 1995

But people still post on it.

[Ilsa]

46. Haaaaahahahahaha!!!! nt

[Ter]

58. Some say we're up to 2000 now

All popular forums use vBulletin except for us two.

[harmonicon]

60. +1 nt.

[K Gardner]

14. K&R. Waiting. eom

[wandy]

15. If he is nominated, THEY Will COME...

If the leader of the republican party (Russ Limbaugh) tell them to support him. THEY WILL COME!
If the money tells the good christin pastor to support him. HE WILL COME!
If their pastor tells them to support him. THEY WILL COME!
If Ann Coulter (if you don't run Chris Christi, Romney will win the nomination and we will lose) tells them to support him.
THEY WILL COME!

Seriously. What do you expect mindless herd animals to do.

[Jamaal510]

50. What if Limbaugh and Coulter told them to vote for Obama?

[AtheistCrusader]

53. We'll see a point spread greater than 7 million votes. :D

[SnowCritter]

69. Then I'd say that there's a good chance

that we've entered the Twilight Zone.

[wandy]

76. Other than being fun to watch. I suspect it would work out something like this....

Imagen if when you got out of bed this morning, instead of you're feet hitting the floor you found you're self slowly drifting up to the ceiling.
At first you would be confused, perhaps a bit frightened.
You might tell you're self you were still asleep and it was all a bad dream.
You would get angry knowing that the indisputable laws of gravity had forsaken you.
Still,,, after continued reassurances from father Limpballs and mother Adam's apple you would see the light.
You would realize that you're feet had been pointing in the wrong direction all along.
You would simply start cursing out the crazy liberal socialist carpenters for putting all those trip hazards in the doorways.

Might you be getting the impression that I have little respect for the far right?

[samsingh]

16. yes we are

kick

[Tuesday Afternoon]

17. no. let him keep it open. don't need anymore of those rat bastards posting over here

that already is.

[BumRushDaShow]

18. More COWBELL!!

[lacrew]

19. Nobody see the setup coming?

Prior to the convention, Newt will have a closed door meeting with Romney, and they will emerge with their choice for VP...who will be more conservative than Mitt. It will then be plausible for conservatives to vote for Romney. Disaster averted, etc.

[arcane1]

20. And they'll forget everything they ever said about him

and anyone criticizing their front-runner-from-day-one will be ZOTTED!!!

[pinboy3niner]

25. By Jove, I think you've got it!

And it won't be pretty...

[MerryBlooms]

39. Fortunately,

Mitten's has been well documented. He'll never be elected, no matter who his VP may be.

[pinboy3niner]

23. Oh PLEASE, PLEASE...

--The Hamster

[Swamp Lover]

24. I'm sure that Jim Robinson will take the high ground and refuse to accept money from

Freepers who support Romney.

Although Robinson is a big government welfare leach who put in a couple of years in the military, nowhere near combat, sitting on his ass, and has, ever since sucked up every government benefit he can get the tax payers to fund. Certainly his lust for other people's money without actually working for it will stop at taking money from "liberal" Romney supporters. Of course it will require that he continue to suckle at the government teat, taking sparse resources from our real military heroes, to supplement what he can make by begging from the right wing dimwits at FR, but sacrifices have to be made.

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

28. Well, Lynne, the Mittster still hasn't been officially nominated.

Rimjob is probably waiting for that.

I'll make a prediction today. Romney's gonna pick Santorum as his running mate. That will pacify the right wing fundies and make Willard look "more conservative." God help the US if those two asshats somehow manage to win. I thought GWB was the absolute worst, but these two even have him beat.

[backscatter712]

30. Nah, I'd rather see Free Republic be the GOP version of hillaryis44.org!

Yes, folks, that site is still up. Still as batshit as ever!

[Typical NYC Lib]

31. Kick

Already recced

[dbackjon]

33. This post is so cute...

Constitutional Conservatism does not tolerate abortionists, the homosexual agenda and mandated health care. Mitt Romney is a big-government, eastern establishment politician much like the Nelson Rockefeller of 1964 who tried to derail Barry Goldwater. I have a long memory and as a worker for AuH20 nearly 50 years, I can't forgive what the GOP-e did than and is doing now.


Except Barry was pro-choice, and pro-gay marriage, serving in the military, etc.


This moran may have a long memory, just doesn't remember any facts.

[Incitatus]

34. Do you dare question the honesty of the master freeper

and suggest that he will not be a man of his word?

[Tanelorn]

35. I went to the site spent 15 minutes there(that I will NEVER get back)

This quote from FReeperville went with a picture of a sinking Titanic (Happy? anniversary)

"We can swim to the Carpathia and get with Newt, as long as she doesn't hit the icberg(sic) Obama".

Desperately trying to find some joke. Here is my lame attempt

From Wikipedia

RMS Carpathia was built by Swan Hunter & Wigham Richardson
The entire plant machinery and equipment from Swan Hunter was dismantled and transported to India over six months to be rebuilt at Bharati Shipyards.

[saras]

37. Maybe Anonymous can help them

[libodem]

38. Go Rimjob go

No, I really mean it. Go! Get outta here.

[Gibby]

40. Yet another Republican lie

How tedious. How faithless. How Republican.

[the antichristie]

41. K&R

but don't hold your breath!

[ellisonz]

56. Welcome to DU!

[Swagman]

42. can someone point me to the ''progressive media" they speak of ?

[kentauros]

66. Sure, but, other than the Pacifica Network,

none of the rest is in the US!

[Jamaal510]

79. Anything that isn't Fox News.

Every other major network, especially MSNBC (never mind them hiring Joe Scarborough and having people like S.E. Cupp on every week).

[Arkansas Granny]

43. As I recall, he made similar statements about Bush and McCain before they were nominated.

I see they are still spewing their hate and ignorance.

[abelenkpe]

45. Are Paul and Gingrich still running? Nt

[Fearless]

48. Technically. n/t

[4bucksagallon]

47. They're

eating their own, let's hope they are serious.......... but somehow I doubt it.

[provis99]

49. some moran in the thread is trying to start a movement to write in Calvin Coolidge.

although RimJob probably thinks old dead Calvin Coolidge was a commie socialist, too.

[jmowreader]

51. Rimjob can't afford a Romney presidency

Right now, the best thing in the world for Jim Robinson is an Obama reelection victory. It will keep the freepers pissed-off and, more important, sending lots and lots of money to Jim Robinson. You know Commodore 64s like the one he runs FR on are collectible, so if he has to buy another one it's going to cost him some serious scratch.

The WORST thing that could happen to him is for Romney to win the election, because no one can donate to a crappy website in the middle of a depression. (And trust me: if you thought the economy was bad before, wait till the Republicans get within 20 miles of the Oval Office.)

Given that, I really do believe Jim Robinson would zot his entire membership if they started looking like Romney accepters.

[rhett o rick]

52. They lie! It's who they are. nm

[nadinbrzezinski]

54. WOLVERINES!!!!

Yup, they are doing that now.

SNORT

[NYC Liberal]

55. RimJob in 1999 on Bush:

To: Freedom Wins

So, it doesn't matter if he snorted coke as a youth? It was a long time ago, a youthful in-discretion? Kinda like people who frequented sneakeasies during prohibition? Kind of a cute story, eh? Well, how about all the people whose lives have been destroyed by being arrested for the felony of drug possession? What about the millions of people who are rotting away in your filthy drug infested prisons at this very moment?

Well, by God, if you people insist on electing another cokehead as President, you damned well better throw open all the prison cell doors and free every man, woman, and child you're holding on drug charges. And if you're gonna elect another drug felon as President, you'd better rescind each and every one of your unconstitutional drug laws now on the books, including all of your unconstitutional search and seizure laws, and your asset forfeiture laws, and your laws that enable your unconstitutional snooping into our bank accounts and cash transactions. Well, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. You people are sick! Conservatives my ass. You people are nothing but a bunch of non-thinking hypocrits! You're a shame and a disgrace to the Republic!

And, I, for one, am tired of taking orders from cokeheads and felons! Elect another one and I'll tell you what. I'll be ready for war! It'll be time to take up arms and run the filthy lying bastards out!

61. "sneakeasies" *snork* Didn't he ever watch the Untouchables? That's speakeasies dork!!

[LAGC]

63. In 3 months he'll be kissing Rmoney's derriere...

When push comes to shove, whatever "principles" he had will go out the window.

I can't wait.

[Doc Holliday]

70. Homonyms can be a real bear.

Republicans don't deal in "principle"....only "principal." That is their only "interest." One cannot "invest" too much time and effort in nebulous things like principles-- there's no "profit" in it.

[ellisonz]

57. C'mon dude...

Shut it down.

[Ter]

59. He hasn't been nominated yet

Just sayin'.

[DiverDave]

64. Are you KIDDING??

That place is his cash COW.
He would NEVER shut it down.
What and live on JUST social security? (and disability, I think)
Nah, he steals from the knuckleheads and puts it right into his pocket.

[greytdemocrat]

68. That's pretty funny!! nt

[nolabear]

74. Oh, you know, Etch-a-Sketches are all the rage on the right these days.

Lying and deceiving also seem to be enjoying a rise in popularity.

[madrchsod]

77. oh jimmy..you are such a silly git...

[penndragon69]

80. And rush LIMPBALLS,

Said he would move to the Dominican Republic if
Obama care became law......we're still waiting on you
LARD ASS !

[Faryn Balyncd]

81. The strategy of the RW is falsely frame Romney as a "moderate"...That is the SCRIPTED ROLE, not only

.....of Free Republic, but of the entire RW hate radio/Fox "News" machine.


The Republican RW propaganda Wurlitzer is, as we know, the most effective propaganda machine ever ginned up anywhere in the world since 1930's Europe.


And the most effective thing Free Republic and the rest of the fringe RW can do to elect Romney is to raise hell screaming the myth that Romney is a "Liberal".


It is not just that the RW haters will vote for him come November:


The reality is that Jim Robinson and his fellow fringe wingers have a much BIGGER job to do for Romney RIGHT NOW:
Specifically, to attack him from the right, so that the corporate media will dutifully take the cue and continue their coverage from the FALSE PERSPECTIVE of portraying Romney as a "moderate".


Romney's corporate schemers could not have written a better script than for Free Republic to take this position.








(Actually, falsely framing Romney as a "moderate" or a "liberal" is perhaps the only way the entire campaigns of Bachman, Perry, Cain, Gingrich, and Santorum makes sense, or to make sense of Sheldon Adelson pouring $15 million into an already braindead Gingrich "campaign".)

[FedUp_Queer]

82. I'd never seen that site.

However, after going there and reading that stuff, wow...just wow. I used to be skeptical about people saying liberals just were not as bad as conservatives when it came to some pretty acerbic statements. After reading that site, I'm no longer skeptical. Conservatism=hate. Conservatism=violence. Conservatism=fear. I have a hard time thinking people could be so hateful, but right there it is in writing.
