Quote Of The Day - Jim Robinson
"Youre a tool. And a coward. A surrender monkey. Willingly voting for a known abortionist/socialist constitution trampling liar. Going down on your knees for the evil bastards for political expedience. If I were you with your cowardly attitude I wouldnt wait to be banned. Id flee this pro-life conservative site as fast as my weak knees could carry me. But that too would take guts and obviously you dont have any. So long, RINO." - Free Republic founder Jim Robinson, in a message to one of his longtime site members who expressed opposition to Robinson's edict against voting for Mitt Romney. Robinson is issuing bizarre commands for a "Tea Party revolution" against the RNC. Any Freeper who doesn't fall in line is now being banned from the site.

(44,173 posts)But this rabid hatred of him to the point of not voting for him, whereas they did for John McCain has me a bit confused.
But far be it from me to tell them how to run their site. If they want to abstain from the presidential election, it's certainly not my job to interfere.

(5,158 posts)Over two weeks after the start of the "Freepathon" he's only reached 17% of his goal. Golly gee, wonder why?
The target is $94,000. Does it really cost that much to run a site that hasn't updated it's software since 1997?
If RimJob keeps it up, we won't have Free Republic to kick around anymore!

(25,183 posts)I used to lurk there, and got somewhat familiar with names that kept popping up. And yes, I remember "Gay State Conservative", I strongly suspect he was a contributor, at least at one time. They're finally in sight of the iceberg, and there's nothing else to do but holler.

Freepers are strange. They must be authoritarian-following masochists.

(45,274 posts)That's pretty much their defining characteristic. Except for the ones who are authoritarian-following sadists.

(46,328 posts)I mean, the actual percentage of the GOP.
I know we like to think the entire GOP posts at FR, and many times it does look like today's GOP is composed of nothing BUT Freepers.
But I wonder how many actual Freepers there are that are active GOP voters.
My guess is the percentage is pretty low.

(7,675 posts)The guy is a pathetic, ignorant, low brow boozer. He's been sucking the public tit
all his life. First as a low rank communications specialist in the Navy and then on
VA disability benefits.
He was absolutely silent when his favorite crush Ann Coulter went for Romney.
FR is just a cash cow for a bitter old creep and his immediate family.

(24,780 posts)Once threads with 500-1000+ posts were very common at FR. 10,000+ was not unusual. Now most threads have less than 40-50. Many with only 10-20 responses. Freepathons are perpetual.

(24,780 posts)I expected to see "Account Suspended" on his profile. But it's fully there. Maybe RimJob doesn't have the balls to do ban him.

(8,339 posts)They don't want medical research, health care for children or anyone who isn't rich. They want people to die from starvation, malnutrition, and exposure when they're homeless. They want medical procedures that would save women's lives to be banned, and they want drug companies to charge exorbitant prices for life-saving drugs. They want to kill those they disagree with and think that carpeting bombing and nuking countries is a-okay.
Repukes are the scum of the earth.
