FREEPERS ARE NOW UNITED AGAINST

1. The site being the equivalent of a Pinto:

THREAD:

Free Republic: 2 Weeks Left of Relevancy Unless You Fix It


I’m not a tech guy so I can’t offer any solutions, but I do see that it’s not excessive posting that’s causing the problem. That leads me (a non tech guy) to believe it may be an external problem. Whatever it is, it is real.


And nobody thinks Zero's minions couldn't be behind these failures?
More importantly, it is much easier to bring a website down than it is to keep one up.

Any website that allows people to post, is always a hundred times more vulnerable than a we site that allows viewing only (Drudge for example).

In sort dear friends, this may be a situation that no amount of money can totally eliminate.


I think FR needs professional help.


Ruh-roh!


2. Ann Coulter being a retard for calling Obama a... retard:

THREAD:
ANN COULTER IN TWEET: ‘I HIGHLY APPROVE OF ROMNEY’S DECISION TO BE KIND & GENTLE TO THE RETARD’


Because the left are not “retards”,
they’re arrogant, vile and vicious.
Her comment is offensive to children and adults with downs or mental retardation and doesn’t really effectively describe Obama .Yea, she’s an attention whore and an embarrassment at times.


Just fantastic. I wonder what the Palin family will have to say?


Also?


(Please note that the 'r' word is used in basically every post even though they are criticizing her for using it)


Those are the two longest threads right now.

Can you smell the Mittmentum? Are you trembling in fear of being overwhelmed by the wingnut horde?

Third time I've checked in since Sunday. I guess they're saving all that mentum for Election Day.
I await in trepidation. Chuck Todd says they're coming so it must be true.

Apparently if more than seven people show up, the piece of shit crashes. Make it so!

5. Actually, I'd like to see RimJob keep it

going. In it's absence a really decent site, perhaps modeled after DU, could be started. And FR would fail and we'd miss it! LoL.

As much hatred as RimJob has for RMoney, I'm surprised the whole site isn't down until Nov 7.

So they really think Obama supporters are purposely hacking into their site. Even if that was the plan, we would abandon it in oity once we saw their 1993 looking format.

I mean, JimRob can't get with 2012 technology already? Doesn't he have money from the stupid Freepers to upgrade his servers? Free Republic looks like a 90's website.

They're so irrelevant, but so fun to laugh at.
