2.  It's coming.
The new Congress will seize the Free Republic Servers and place their denizens on Terrorist lists.

3. But they did mention he votes Republican.....
That might be even more damning.

I wouldn't want to give freeperville any publicity and web traffic. They know that we know that they know Castagana is one of them.

7. Sounds to me like they did
Edited on Mon Nov-13-06 10:40 PM by Zensea
They just didn't use the word freeper.

" ... described himself as a compulsive voter who votes Republican and he said that he sent the letters to specific inndviduals because he did not like their policies."
Sounds like a freeper to me!
David Letterman's policies?!?!?!
:wtf:

Plus this description has freeper written all over it ---

" ... unemployed sci-fi buff who had previously written anti-liberal screeds and germ warfare speculations on the internet."
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

30. Compulsive voters need hugs too!!
Edited on Tue Nov-14-06 10:38 AM by exlrrp
HEY!! I'm a compulsive voter too!!! Ever since I was old enough!! I started when I was young because others were doing it and I thought it made me look cool, like the other kids. It was only a little vote (Sewer Bonds) but before I knew it I was desperately researching everyy issue!!. Later, I found I couldn't pass a voting booth without running into it.
Ive tried Compulsive Voters Anonymous (CVA) but gave up believing in a Higher Power God the 2d time Bush was elected.
And now--its terrible!! Not a day goes by I don't read political blogs. Everytime I pas the county courthouse I want to run in and tell them what to do. I even check boxes on junkmail just to do it!
Oh God, Help me before I vote again!!

20. Just wait until the authorities analyze his computer's hard disk
In the course of the investigation, they will discover what's been going on over there at the FR and I wouldn't be too surprised if the site is taken down during the investigation.

39. UNEMPLOYED!!!11!!1 THAT'S HUGH!1!11!
Why didn't he pull himself up by his bootstraps? :shrug: He must have lost his grape picking job to an illegal alien or something because a freeper would NEVER be on the dole. He must have mislaid his bootstraps I guess. :rofl:

Stupid freepers. He'd better not bend over to pull up his bootstraps in prison. :rofl: Do you think freakrepublic will have a fundraiser for his legal defense? Maybe RimJob could put his new, freeper bought motor-home, up for collateral. Fat chance of that happening. Hopefully freakrepublic will attract more attention as the hate site it is now. Most of the original freepers have left anyway. All that's left are the crazies and the really, really stupid.

Another one of your supporters makes the big time, Rimjob. This one's for you. :toast:

35. so this is absolutely the practice of "terrorism" in its purest sense
why on earth isn't he getting his ass rendered to Fresno (or some other foreign country full of weirdos with strange notions who talk funny) and waterboarded and testicular electrode-fried?

:shrug:

According to the freepers anyone caught engaging in terrorism deserves to lose all human rights, regardless of nationality. Oh wait . . . . I'll bet he's so cracker-ass white you can see him from outer space.

:P

38. The Fact That He's a Sci-Fi Geek
Is going to be even worse. We're already labeled as weirdos. We don't need this kind of bad press.

I wonder if he was targeting Viacom because they took Star Trek off the air?

42. A real fanboy experience for y'all.
Years ago, the first science fiction con I went to had Jonathan Frakes (Commander Riker of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" in the audience. He patiently explained to an audience of about 1500 people that he could tell us some stuff, but certain plot developments he was honor-bound not to tell.

Twice behind me, there was a teenage kid who asked about one of the forbidden topics. The secodn time, he said, "I know you said you couldn't tell us, but could you just tell me?" The entire audience booed.

"You'd better be nice to me," he sputtered, "'cause one day I might be writing your scripts!"

I immediately turned down and repeated my favorite phrase from "Animaniacs" - "IN YOUR DREAMS, pal!" The nudnik finally sat down.

That guy was the kind of fanboy that makes all of us look bad. And the anthrax bomber was exactly that kind of guy.

By the way, no one has yet commented on something Olbermann said: none of the victims blabbed about these envelopes during the investigation, but the New York Daily News, the Murdock operation, a part of his right-wing news operation, DID. The News deliberately interfered with an FBI operation, for the sake of assaulting a liberal. Isn't that kind of significant?
