Have you found freepers on other messageboards besides FR?

[undeterred]

I am amazed at the number of idiots out on the internet. Post something "political" at a site which is not overtly left or right - like ABC news messageboard - and they come out with their nastiness instantly. Its always vicious and personal. I wonder if they all go to the same training camp or something.

1. Yes, I have... ...eom

[BreweryYardRat]

2. I used to frequent the Men's Health Sex /General Forum.

That had a ton of those nasty motherfuckers. One guy made a comment that's stuck with me to this day: "We can drill through glass, ya know."

Plus one of the few Democrats on the forums was a fucking tard who handed in her party membership and voted for Bush in '04!

3. Sure. They're few in number...

...and are probably feeling a bit desperate these days. They'll be out in whatever pitiful force they can muster, armed with the same old slogans and nothing else.

4. They are recruited by Rove and

FreepRepukes! They have been infiltrating DU, DKos, MyDD, etc. in the last few weeks.
I'm sure they're back on Randi Rhodes messageboard too! AAR.
They make the rounds. You can actually get 'paid' to be on messageboards!
This is an election year so I expect them, especially this year, to be out in force!
Best thing to do is ignore them or ask them why they hate Amerika!

7. The ones spewing the most repuke talking points

might be netvocates. I first read about them on Huffington Post earlier and I found out more about them here: http://www.netvocates.com/

They are probably the same whackjobs that take turns calling C-Span every morning.......

[Breeze54]

12. I wouldn't doubt that!

They start jamming the C-Span phonelines early and they tie up all the lines!
And they lie about they're party affiliation!
Assholes! :grr:
That's where they got the name 'bushbots'!
Because they use 'Faux Sux's' talking points verbatim!

I've seen ads for netvocates too.
Might be the same one's but I don't think they're the only ones!

5. Yes

usually my name brings them out in droves. Only one site do I know of where conservatives are polite, and it's a non-political site. The vast majority of posters there are liberals, and when someone does post politically, the conservatives complain or say they are bored with politics! What's funny is that the site is a fan site for a personality who is, himself, a liberal who has donated the max to the Democrats in 2004! (When I posted THAT link, there was silence from the conservatives!)

6. yup . . same training camp..

Designed to immediately shut down any meaningful discussion. They should be countered at every opportunity. (calmly and with reason. . . not to try to "change their minds", but for the benefit of lurkers and the curious quiet watchers. It's not too hard to show them up for the lunatics they are)

[HannibalBarca]

8. Oh Yes

a technology site I visit, on the politics and religion forum, there are quite a collection of individuals, sometimes I find myself shaking my head in disbelief. If anyone wants to have a look at it, I can PM you the address, you need to register to view it.

[McCamy Taylor]

9. All over CNN's when they had one. They breed in Salon "Politics"

[bbernardini]

10. phl.media on Usenet has a few...

...particularly "Darth Sideous." He's an idiot.

[Rageneau]

11. Freepers avoid any place where more than one point of view is allowed.

The icon for a Freepers is an angry white man with his mouth open, screaming, while he holds his fingers in his ears to avoid even hearing an opinion that isn't pre-approved, pre-spun and pre-digested by Rush.

13. I mostly lurk, but have seen them on other boards
