Heads up people
The freepers have gotten ahold of some lists of names, from both the ANSWER petition and the Not In Our Name site, among others. Getting all riled up, wanting to come after people now. They apparently have already called up a couple of soldiers' COs to rat them out, and from the general tone of the posting over there, they're looking to get either a figurative or literal(or both) lynch mob together in order to hassle and harass the signers of these petitions.

So, if your name is on these lists, be warned, especially if you are in the service. These hate filled POSs are out to get you. Check it out for yourself here: <http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1092851/posts>

2. Agreed, but who would have jurisdiction
The only force I could think who would remotely have jurisdiction would be Rim Job's hometown police.

Might be worth it just to get the site taken down. Anybody know where Rimbo lives? I know it is somewhere in CA, but don't know the specific town.

3. since freeptardland is on the net
Edited on Thu May-13-04 01:40 PM by redqueen
perhaps the FBI? If they're discussing doing this in a forum, conspiracy charges may apply.

cc: the ACLU of course, just for safety. :)

9. Apparently just sign your name to an antiwar petition or website
And maybe not even then. I think their lists are incomplete, as my name isn't on them:cry: I would love to see some of those out of shape fools come after me. Just because I believe in peace doesn't mean I won't fight back if attacked:evilgrin:

12. I'm with you....
I am a pacifist at heart, but I really don't know how much more of this crap I can take.
I try so hard not to let my anger and disgust get to me, but damnit, I can't take much more of this shit from them...ntit just the freepers, all the whole rightwing assholes. Their frigging arrogance and superiority is really starting to get to me. Not to mention their damn black/white....us or them...my way or the highway shit.
The world is not as simple as that you stupid assholes!
I would like to say I feel beter...but I don't!
Thanks for the rant space and time.

Here is my answer:

Arming the Left: Is the time now? --by Charles Southwell "As long as we pose no REAL threat to the powers-that-be, to what is shaping up into a dictatorship, we will continue to be ignored. Right now, we are ignored because we present no organized power to fight this onslaught of anti-democratic, totalitarian government that we are up against... We should remain committed to the absolute condemnation of individual acts of violence or terrorism."

29. The red/white/blues love to intimidate.
Freeper stoolies. Anti-choice types who post doctors' names on the net and write down license numbers. Lynn Cheney and her professor blacklists. I'm sure there are more.

Everybody hates a stoolie.

10. It's time to alert the FBI
Seriously people. I can't stomach reading all of that there but there is definite conspirators actively involved in threatening American citizens and violating their Constitutional rights. I really have no idea how the thread should be saved and passed on. But what they are doing has to be illegal. It's not a 'free speech' issue with the methods they are taking. And if someone suspects that an individual is a threat, then they should be reporting it to the FBI or Homeland Security to check it out.

This is so infuriating, let alone terrifying, that they are so overt about it all.

34. liburl - check the date. It's scarier than that.
Edited on Thu May-13-04 03:02 PM by Tinoire
That list was posted March 7, 2004.

When did the FBI start knocking at the Berg family's door and arresting/interrogating Nick Berg in Baghdad?

No one in this day and age should ever be turned in to the FBI & especially NOT Homeland Security - they are the new Gestapo, they work for Bush.

That's exactly what those freeps did, they turned the Berg family in to the FBI... We need an icon for a broken-heart :( I don't recognize this country anymore.

Those freeps were turning in people they don't even know... "kids pranks" as Lynndie England's mother put it.

Cry the beloved country.

not a care that they were ignoring REAL problems like Al Qaeda.

I suppose we shouldn't be surprised.

The stuff about all the _____ for peace making them sick, the stuff about how that coastie must be a muslim because of his name, etc. Am I wrong that you can be active duty and participate, as long as you don't go in uniform? God. Are they really saying that people who want peace are evil? How jacked up is that?!? Scary.

Edited on Thu May-13-04 02:48 PM by Tinoire
I wonder how many of those people could be found and asked if they have been harassed or fired since the freepers started their patriotic little prank on March 7.

Any lawyers reading this, how about a nice class-action lawsuit against Jim Robinson of FreeRepublic and the Nazi who posted that list and encouraged people to have "fun" with it?

No wonder they see nothing wrong with the torture at Abu-Ghaibr- they have no souls.

No wonder they loved Ronald Reagan; he did the same thing to Hollywood Liberals & got them black-listed.

All fun and games for the Freepers until somebody loses their head.

Note one of the responses on their thread:

Those names should be culled and forwarded to the FBI, and I suspect that they are being culled as we commune.

Hope they're happy now!!!!!!!!!!!

24. This Is Confirmation
That freepers are anti-American and unpatriotic. I didn't see any of the groups I've signed petitions for listed there, and my wife who is active duty military gets her news from me. And I don't involve her in order to protect her from these pices of flith.

I only have one thing to say to these things, come after me and mine and you will reap what you sow.

26. Guys. Check out this story in LBN about that list & Nick Berg
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x551264

They started turning those names in in March...

Salon and several journalists are already on this story.

Those freepers are slimy shits. You should see the spin in their newest thread since this exploded yesterday. Spinning and wailing and whining all over the place- all so innocent- to include the one who originally posted the list so that they could take turns turning people in as "enemies of the state".

I hope they sleep well tonight knowing that their little fun is what may have started Nick Berg's harassment by the FBI. Harassment that got a little too out of hand like the freeper-style "frat party" at Abu Ghaibr.

What vermin. What scum.

Appears to have been posted 3/07/04? If anything should "happen" to any of the service persons noted I would most certainly be suspicious. This is what we want to deliver the Iraqis to?

30. Text of petitions
this is what they signed. Those freepers really are fascist thugs aren't they.


Bring the troops home now!

End colonial occupation from Iraq to Palestine and everywhere!

Money for jobs, education, healthcare and housing - Not war!
Stop the attacks on civil rights and civil liberties!



If they are calling for the persecution and harrasment of people who signed onto this statement, then they are no better than the Nazis or Stalinists.

32. Well, we know the answer to your last question already
And that is no, they are no better than Nazis. In fact in wouldn't suprise me that many(if not the majority) of these little freaks don't secretly worship at the the altar of Hitler.

They can't stand the thought of peace, non-violence and justice for all.

Pathetic, truly pathetic.

For those of you whose names are on this list, copy this little thread of theirs and use it for litigation purposes if you start getting hassled and harassed. Hit these fools where it hurts, in the wallet, for all they truly care about is money.

45. The More Stuff Changes...

The more it stays the same!

I know of people posting online on Usenet groups as well as forums like this one who have been driven out by IRL stuff. It seems to be a trend.

And not just ordinary 'harassment' either... seems several liberal friends of mine have had some serious legal shit hitting them, charges, violent threats, etc...

It's getting *very* strange!
