freepers ? keeping Bev /Olberman issue front and center ?
wtf

Nothing like eating your own in the critical hours that we need to come together

Anyone that is concerned for our country should refocus and let Keith and Bev and those surrounding them hash this out.

WE MUST NOT DIVIDE OURSELVES IN THESE LAST FEW WEEKS

WAKE THE FUCK UP AND DROP THIS

2. Yes, accusing people of being FReepers...

...is not divisive. Noooooooo. :eyes:

Listen - if someone holds Bev accountable for how she carries herself on our nickel, in hopes that she might correct it and do what's best about the fraud, it's not divisive. Shit like what you just posted, where you attack other people, is.

9. I am tired of being called a freeper because I am not a mindless drone.
If the people who keep yelling "freeper" at me know how stupid they look, especially when I am usually in general agreement, just not 100%...

3. Take a look at who is posting.
A lot of long-time posters are arguing against BBV.

Now unless you're willing to dismiss a very large handful of DUers as 'freepers,' you have to consider what is being said.

My 2 cents.

Yes, I see a number of long-time posters. I also see a rather agressive number of n00bZ throwing head butts and elbows and knees as well.

A little discernment in the process is needed. A little moderation. A little critical thinking. A little constructive action.

Just a little.

4. Absolutely.
Constructive people would be working for constructive dialogue in this matter. I do not see a lot of that coming from some folks. I see people throwing wedges in this matter. I see clear agendas. I see the sowing of seeds of suspicion and acrimony.

People need to wake the fuck up, regarding some of these contributors. They are bringing nothing contructive or helpful to the table.

Recognize what is going on here. That is the first step.

10. That's right, we're hurting our own cause.
I'm sure both Keith and Bev are getting deluded with e-mails right now. Does it do any good for our cause if one or both of them get sick of it and decide to drop the issue completely? Keith isn't required to report on it. And Bev isn't required to sacrifice 100% of her time to work on this right now, or to keep us informed. So if everyone here is on the up and up and genuinely cares about the actual cause, please, this infighting needs to stop, because it's not helping the cause. It's not just wasting time, it could also drive away one or both of the people who are working the hardest to get our message out.

12. The disruptor's and freepers
have much to gain by this assault on Bev. I wish Skinner would put a halt to this abusive discussion and posting.

Bev began the voter fraud mission here at DU. She is a champion! A DU hero.

I salute her!

If folks have nothing respectable to say about Bev, in a constructive, proactive manor then don't say it at all.

To disrespect Bev as it has been done here.....suggest poor intentions and do not support the DU mission.

13. Agree
I'm fairly new to this site (Nov 4 or 5) but this explosion of KO-BBV posts smells fishy as JJ would say. It's diverting a lot of time and energy from the real issues.
