We need to keep an eye on this one;
Free Republic Tenth Anniversary Plans (Vanity)
Me ^ | 06-18-06 | WestVirginiaRebel

Posted on 06/18/2006 2:36:47 PM PDT by WestVirginiaRebel

The tenth anniversary of Free Republic is coming up (this November!) As a result, I would like to see some sort of a get-together take place, in either San Diego, Arizona, Texas or Florida (or some other venue in a Freeper-friendly part of the country). What I would really like to see is someone, perhaps a well-known or wealthy lurker, help organize a Freeper Convention that would include banners, flags, Freeper stuff for sale at booths, a Freeper "museum" with displays centering on famous Freeper moments (threads, Freeper Actions, well-known and infamous Freepers, and Freeper lore, etc). Also, I'd like to see a well-known guest speaker emcee the event (Rush Limbaugh? Ann Coulter?) For entertainment, I'd like to see Toby Keith, Alan Jackson, Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Cosby or some other well-known, preferably conservative (or at least not rabid left-wing) entertainers. Any plans afoot for something like this? It would be a blast and we could all get to meet each other in person (travel arrangements could be made for Freepers in other countries).

Bill Cosby?

Bill Cosby? Sure, I can see Bill up there talking about sharing, caring for others and seeing a sea of white. I wonder if those select few in the audience will follow protocal and take off their sheets while the star is on stage?

Every picture I see of their public appearances are always laughingly small.

4. Well, I hope we can get a mole in there to keep us informed of
the festivities. That should be a hoot, especially if they get Bill Cosby for entertainment.

:rofl:

11. Maybe we could help!
"What I would really like to see is someone, perhaps a well-known or wealthy lurker, help organize a Freeper Convention" .....
We could probably organize it for them! Wouldn't that be a hoot! We could plan a weekend they would never forget! ROFL

13. Toby Keith
Toby is always saying he is not a Repuke, now we know he is a liar. He should sing at free republic since we now know he is definitely one of THEM.

14. Jeff Foxworthy is probably the only Republican in that lot...
Edited on Sun Jun-18-06 09:36 PM by larissa
Maybe Alan Jackson - who knows - he doesn't donate to anyone in politics.

Toby Keith is a DNC Democrat... Conservative Democrat.. New Democrat... Western Democrat... whatever you want to call it.. Just because he donated years ago to R's doesn't mean jack $hit now. http://www.westerndemocrat.com/2005/05/toby_keith_and_.html

Bill Cosby has never donated to a Republican in his life.. http://www.newsmeat.com/celebrity_political_donations/Bill_Cosby.php

I wonder if there's anyone at Free Republic with anything over an 8th grade education?

Edit to add ---- Look at what they worship!!:

19. Ever notice you never see a picture of Jim Robinson and Saddam
Edited on Mon Jun-19-06 01:17 AM by gbrooks
together???

Coincidence???? I think not.

   

I suggest they have Saddam MC the FReeper convention
and if Jim Robinson fails to show up we'll know the
truth.

15. I hope they take pictures of their banners...
We could make a twenty million dollar comedy based on those alone.

MORANS!

20. Freeps -- I'd be delighted to donate some food to your worthy gathering!
I'm thinking potato salad. Noooooo, I won't let it fester in the sun for hours before the event, causing you painful abdominal cramping and projectile diarrhea ... You can trust me, Freeps! :hi:

21. I'm mildly curious...
will their banners and flags and other "freeper stuff" be "Made in China"?

Okay, I'm not really even mildly curious, I just wanted to snark a bit.
