Free Republic won't let me play...
I keep on signing up & not getting my conformation e-mail with password.

I guess with names like "Liberal_Brit" & so on they might get a little suspicious, but I don't want to make abusive comments, I want to debate.

1. Debate a freeper?
Thats like saying, "No I don't think I want anymore of that pot!"

Utter nonsense!

3. A lot of them are idiots,
but there are a few who have something interesting & intelligent to say - I suppose I could try politics.org or something instead.



Your turn to skin up.:smoke:

2. Try....................
"neocon" and then any number to follow. You'll be on board the good ship Freep in seconds flat. THEN you may be able to get someone to debate, or be tombstoned quicker than George Bush can down a fifth of Jack. My guess it will be the latter.

4. Freerepublic is not a place for truth.
Since it's all about lies and repeating lies you have to go for a name that won't give you away. Try something more in tune with what a freeper would choose. Something on a religious or gun rights theme. Insulting Hillary Clinton or really any liberal will endear you to them so keep that in mind. Remember to play dumb and stand reality on it's head. Black is white, up is down, war is peace, that sort of thing.

5. Sadly the same thing...
...happens here. Both DU and FR are very restrictive. FR even says in the user agreement that you will post only pro-Conservative messages on their board.

Welcome to that age of "Free Speach in America"

6. Use something involving Patriot or American in your name.
And be sure to be heavily right wing for at least your first 50-100 posts.

Once you build up a rapport and credentials, you can start to steer the Freeper. :evilgrin:

7. Do you think with a bit of work
we could take over FR. If we get everyone from DU on board acting RW for a few 100 posts then very gently steer it left, until all the hardcore freepers leave & we convince the rest to see the light.:evilgrin:
