Open Letter to the Freepers Among Us
Recently there have a couple of articles exposing the right-wing infiltration of lefty blogs, one particular infiltration that we know of was perpetuated by a Congressional staffer who was using his employer's office to do his dirty work. When you use taxpayer equipment to play politics, it is illegal. Like an iceberg, most right-wing corruption is beneath the surface, so undoubtedly these are not isolated cases. Of course there are Freepers among us. Some are just lurking and more insidiously, some are probably even posting.

So listen up Freepers, I've got something I want to say to you.

You lurk here and you post here and you try to get us to squabble among ourselves. You are smug and you think you are so smart when you create dissension within our ranks. But you are missing the point here: we are liberals, progressives, independent minded people and DEMOCRATS. We are the thinkers and we do not blindly follow any mantra. You will never see us in lock step because we believe in liberty, freedom, justice and the power of diversity.

We will argue and we will squabble, but in the end, we will unite STRONGER for the debate. You can't hurt us through infiltration because dialog is our strength. We will never give up our values and we will never fall apart because you cannot destroy our faith. We believe in the power of justice and in our country. Your faith in the power of manipulation and lies will ultimately fail you as it has throughout history.

The tide is turning. All over America people are waking up and there is nothing you can do to stop it. America will not accept your poisoned vision of totalitarianism any longer.

2006 isn't about politics; it is about survival. We are in a battle for the existence of our republic. We will not succumb to your imperial rule. Our forefathers threw off the chains of imperialism and we can and will do it again.

So listen up: America is great because of people like us. We are reasonable and we are fair but push us to the wall and all bets are off. We don't suffer bullies for long.

7. Thanks. Today was a sad day but we have to get fighting mad.
These vermin are everywhere and they are evil. Today's vote might well have been "shot heard round the world" of our time.

2. Also - you stand out like neon lights in desert solitude
because of your inability to spell correctly or use the English language like literate people.

So you also need to know that the vasst majority of time that people are "arguing" with you, they are only doing so ironically, because they know who you are and they are deliberately wasting your time.

8. Some do. But the paid staffer was probably very literate.
I hope they throw his rotten ass in jail.

freepers for poor spelling then you should check your post to make sure there are no typos... ;)

11. Thanks BLM.
Same here. You are quite the fighter yourself.

It kills me when they say Dems don't have a message. We have a message: give us our country back you effing, scumbag, torturing, lying, greedy bastards! Think it is a little too strong for prime time?

13. And, like any family, no matter how much we fight and argue
We band together and have each other's backs when outsiders attack us. WE know who you are: newbie Freeps and long-term Freeps. You don't come into OUR house and make the rules.

Fuck off, you unamerican, fascist morans.

32. The "towell" guy was pretty funny
I love it when someone with 13 posts suggests that Dems should throw in the "towell" - out of pure concern for our mental well-being, no doubt.

That is the definition of democracy -- dialoguing. And those MF in the Senate LIMITED debate about the most basic civil liberties. Completely anti-democratic!

Edited on Thu Sep-28-06 09:01 PM by tlsmith1963
There always seem to be people here who take the conservative viewpoint & cause dissension. I figured that they might be Republicans infiltrating our discussion boards. Go away. We don't need fascist-wannabees here.:evilgrin:

43. They make me angry because they think they can break our spirits.
Not a chance. We use our emotions to inspire action. We get sad. We get mad. We rant. But we never give up. All they do is inspire us to fight harder.

34. Look for things like 'Dems can't win in this state'
'So and so is really popular, we can't beat him' , 'Dems do it too' etc. Exactly what the congressional aide was caught doing.

37. Damn. You stole those words right out of my head.
The posts today! They are all mirroring my thoughts.


It's lovely, even as sick a time as it is.


And the part that is so bothersome for me is the freepers getting ready for deer hunting season. Their guns are going off outside my window all day. It's like the war has already begun.

39. My Dear Beloved Freepers, Republicans, and Bush Supporters,
You are the sole reason for our existence because
Only you know how this world should be run, and only you
Understand how confused unfortunate people like us are, yet

So many of us are in awe of your unflinching conviction that
Unity with this President supercedes all principle and conscience. And if you
Carefully read the first letter of each line in this message, you'll
Know what we think of you deep down in our hearts
