2. It seems that
the Republican party is coordinating itself with the Free Republic website.

Geez, I wonder if they're a 527?

5. The webmaster and director of Free Republic
(Scott Swett) also is the webmaster for the Swift Boat Liars' site. Don't know how connected they may be (in any legal way), but it is a fact.

This morning, somebody posted it. It's at the bottom of that Disinfopedia entry. Pretty funny, no?

FReeper Stuff is back! Buy gifts for family and friends, show off your FR items to your liberal office mates, or attend a freep in the hottest FRashion. BBQ the Libs (metaphorically, of course) in your Free Republic apron!

Click the FR coffee mug to view FReeper Stuff!

Proceeds go to Free Republic Network, a 501(c)(4) non profit corporation, to help fund FRN operations and activism projects. Free Republic Network is an independent and separate organization and is not owned or controlled by Free Republic, LLC.


Now wtf is the "Free Republic Network???"

"Site under construction!"

This stinks to high heaven! But I wonder- what the campaign finance laws say about coordinating a political campaign with LLC?????

I bet Jim Robinson's got some more legal worries...

that one still works.

All the other say "duplicate," which is a reason they lock threads here on DU as well.

12. And of course, that one is a blatant lie and misrepresentation
CNN has been notified that the Kerry camp will seek to have the goverment pull the Swift Boat veterans for Truth ads.

Which is not the truth.

18. Ah, NOPE. That Thread Is NOT About FEC Complaint
it misrepresents Kerry's words and actions in this matter.

It also does not mention that Democrats found GOP handing out flyers in support of Swift Liars.

15. Well... not exactly!
Check this out on Freepnet:
http://ice.he.net/~freepnet/kerry/staticpages/index.php?page=AWOL

Interesting how they describe Kerry as the AWOL one!!!!

They have this shit plastered all over the internet..

http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&q=Lt%2E+Kerry+was+involved+in+a+meeting+that+voted+on+assassinating+members+of+the+US+Senate%2E

What can we do about this?
This is the most disgusting, negative campaign ever. These people allege themselves to be Christians, too. That is the most disgusting thing I have ever heard.
They don't even have a clue as to what Christ was all about.

Do you? And if you do, was a line crossed?
