Freerepublic poster decides CLG should be 'investigated.'
Mega Barf Alert! A Freerepublic.com poster has decided that the CLG 'Bush hatred' needs to be investigated. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1084418/posts

From the Freerepublic.com message board:

The front page of the CGI web site features this: (Oops! They miss-spelled CLG. Apparently, it was a difficult word for them.)

TOPICS: Crime/Corruption; Front Page News; News/Current Events
KEYWORDS: CLG; ENEMYWITHIN; HATEHATEHATE; KERRY; KOOKS; KOOKYLEFTIES; LEFTISTTERRORISTS; LEFTISTTHREAT; LUNATICS; RICIN; SECRETSERVICE; THREAT; TMENWAKEUP; WAKEUPTMEN; WHATHYPERBOLE; WINTERSOLDIERCOM



To: Starve The Beast
Considering the rest of the Bush hatred she had spewed across the rest of her site, the Secret Service agent I spoke to said it would be properly investigated.

LOL! At least their moderator removed a couple of vitriolic posts against Michael Rectenwald.

Rest assured, the CLG will CONTINUE to 'SPEW' against the illegal, immoral, Bush terror team.

Cheers,
Lori Price

1. ROFLMAO!
These fucking brain-dead repukes just have no sense of irony or hypocrisy at all, do they?

Look how they spewed their Clinton hatred 24/7 for eight years, always trying to find something to get him with, or fabricating bullshit against him all the time, (especially that tired bullshit nonsense about Vince Foster being "murdered") screaming about their right to do so the whole time. But they can't take it themselves, can they, especially if this time we actually have damn good reasons to skewer the Bushistas, who are far worse than anything Clinton was or ever will be!

What was that that Truman said about repukes? "Democrats legislate, Republicans investigate." Never truer than today.

6. They have had death threats on their site vs. liberals
Freerepublic.com posts often suggest sick actions/crimes they would like to see 'done' to leftists. The thread cited above contains such suggestions. Freepers have added gun calibers as an 'aside' within their posts, when posting vitriol against leftists.

So, how DARE they rant about venting on a different (leftist) website?

9. EXACTLY!
That's one of the things I especially cannot stand about repukes and freepers, they can dish it out but they get their knickers in a knot at the very IDEA of someone doing the same thing to THEM!

24. Well, if they wanna compare calibers, I have about 10 different ones...
From .22 up to .357 and a bunch in between. I and my SO have let it be known very clearly that if any local freepers wanna fuck with us, we have mucho firepower. Nobody has yet. If anyone tears down our ABB sign, they will likely get a gift of lead, which when removed from their bodies can be converted into fishing weights.

5. David is one of our best
freeper slayers, and he doesn't buckle under their bullshit pressure and intimidation, either!

Of course, I've heard that he hides under his bed at night, but we'll just keep it a secret if he does!

25. 3: The Bush junta, circa 2000 - 2004.
BTW, even if the Democrat wins in November, the Capital has turned into an armed fortress. This was noted in Sunday's New York Times.

What stops these nutballs from.... NOT VACATING the premises?? They would have from November 2 to the third week in January -- that's a lot of time -- to carry out a last, desperate act.

Just a thought.

Post it as a separate topic .. i'm sure someone else saw it to.. it was yesterday.

21. LOL!
AshKKKan and his thugs seem to be busy little bees. Too bad they don't investigate actual terrorists, starting with the Idiot Usurping Lying Dictatorial Weasel, and his junta.

15. Writer Eric Alterman said he had a Free Republic stalker...
for awhile who did things like cancel his speaking engagements, and
hotel and plane reservations on his book tour. Now that's actual criminal behavior,
unlike hating someone, which as far as I know is still legal!

19. Freepers are icky poo-poo heads
to use their own terminology...
I heard once on DU that they were sued as a hate site. Does anyone know anything about that? I would think it should hold up if they actually threaten physical violence, and reference gun calibers.

22. Freerepublic JUST served with warning from Corbis re copyright violations
Edited on Wed Feb-25-04 11:37 PM by johnfunk
Subject: Kerry/Fonda image

February 23, 2004

VIA EMAIL AND U.S. MAIL

Jim Robinson www.freerepublic.com P.O. Box 9771 Fresno, CA 93794 USA

RE: www.freerepublic.com

Matter ID: 14-0486/John Kerry/Jane Fonda Image

Dear Jim Robinson:

Corbis is one of the largest digital image licensing companies in the world. All of the images in Corbis’ collection are subject to federal and international copyright protection. Indeed, all of the works found on the www.corbis.com web site bear appropriate copyright notices. Furthermore, we have a responsibility to our photographers to protect their intellectual property and pursue any possible cases of improper use.

It has recently come to Corbis’ attention that your company’s web site, www.freerepublic.com, through the web pages:

http://209.157.64.200/focus/f-news/1080321/posts, http://www.berkeleydaily.org/photos/02-17-04/DoctoredKerry03%2Ejpg, http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1074196/posts, http://209.157.64.200/focus/f-news/1080321/posts, , directly reproduces, adapts, displays, and distributes an unauthorized and altered version of Corbis images

#DWF15-563704 and #OF016339. This directly violates Corbis’ and the photographers’ exclusive rights to reproduce, adapt, display, distribute, and create derivative works.

Given the nature of the apparent copying and altering of this image, such infringements would be subject to statutory damages of $150,000 per infringement, in addition to costs and attorney’s fees.


Background: the altered photo was cooked up by Rick "Registered" Taylor and posted to FR -- apparently without warning it wasn't genuine. That's not parody. That's FRAUD. Will Rick get nailed by Corbis too? I'm sure they know by now that he raked it in on "Sore Loserman" merchandise, and can certainly afford to pay civil penalties.

The thread is here! Sit back and have the popcorn handy.

Oh, yes -- scroll down to the poster who tells that dumbass JimRobber not to send STUPID e-mails to Corbis' lawyer the way he did! That's just the beginning of the laffs and fun...
