How Freerepublic monitors other message boards for those they banned

DISCREDITED Internet forum Free Republic has been sending spies over to rival websites. Paranoid insiders on the mediocre message board have a designated moderator whose brief is to log the goings-on at other sites and report back to his superiors. It is thought hundreds of posters have been banned after the spy passed on valuable information to FR owner Jim Robinson.

"Through our spy we have been made aware of planned newbie attacks," admits a fellow FR moderator. "Yes, we are the recipient of planned anti conservative attacks. Thanks to our spy, we have a heads up."

The information comes to light in top secret internal threads obtained by FRS investigators. On one of the threads - which FRS readers will be able to access this weekend - four of the forum's moderators explain some of the tricks of their shadowy trade to elite posters from the Free Republic Advisory Board (FAB).

"It comes as no surprise to me that Jim Robinson is allowing spy moderators to lurk on other forums," says a senior Free Republic source. "Let's face it the sort of person who would do this is hardly 007 - more like Double Oh Weenie."

3. How about we give him what he's so damn afraid of?

Get a bunch of DUers to invade FR. After all, I would not be surprised if they tried that on us. All is fair in love and war.

6. I think the freepers are especially thick at DU right now.

Someone will probably post a link to this thread over at FR shortly.

8. On book purchases: What? No "Mein Kampf"?

Guess Amazon won't send it in a plain brown wrapper.

BTW: Thanks for sharing the link to that site. Hilarious!

Especially RimJob's infamous post from 1999:

10. I'm surfing this site, and it's kinda funny

Check out the 'links' section. Lots of links to Freep-type sites (Lucianne, Liberty Post, etc.). And even one to DU (though I disagree with his opinion that the forums are not as user-friendly as FR).

And a link to something called "Freedom Underground". Now, at first thought, it sounded like a bad parody. Looks like a conservative libertarian site. Got a kick out of this thread:

Even the conservatives can't stand the GOP anymore! Ha ha!

Of course, these paople are also knuckle-dragging morans. One actually called Bill Clinton a "vicious dictator".

Some people just have a lot to learn.
