Freepers Are Threatening To Murder NYT Reporters And Publishers

[cali]

Is this illegal? It sure is disgusting. The wingnuts are getting so worked up over this that someone's going to get hurt. I hope certain Times reporters and Sultzburger have body guards. Even if you think the NYT is a corporate whatever, it's time to stand with them against this shit.

1. Lower life forms you will not find on this planet...

Kill someone for telling the truth, rather than turn your anger on the one who's been telling deadly lies. Freepers are some sick mofos.

[tinfoil tiaras]

2. Sounds a bit Nazi-ish to me...

I only wish you could re-arrange the letters in Nazi Party to make Freeper....

[johnfunk]

21. Little Julius Streichers, the whole lot...

... Free Republic, America's foremost haven for cowardly, anonymous fascists.

[tinfoil tiaras]

35. Indeed

:puke:

[whistle]

3. Republican brown shirts

[benburch]

4. Legally it is called a terroristic threat.

And it is absolutely prosecutable under both state and federal statutes.

[cali]

7. Thanks, benburch

Who should I contact? Really, it's scary over on that thread.

[JuniperLea]

8. Wow... good question!

Do we have Cyber Cops now? I'd call the police... start there anyway.

[benburch]

17. Call the New York Times directly.

They will know how to deal with this.

[Swamp Rat]

23. Not only are Freepers advocating premeditated murder, the owner of the

website is just as responsible, especially since he did not delete the thread (for nearly 4 hours so far):

"Disclaimer: Opinions posted on Free Republic are those of the individual posters and do not necessarily represent the opinion of Free Republic or its management. All materials posted herein are protected by copyright law and the exemption for fair use of copyrighted works." - If he copyrights it, he is responsible for the contents. Putz! :eyes:

Diogenesi initiated the calls for premeditated murder with this quote: "President Washington: "I want Bill Keller. I'll hang that traitor if it's the last thing I do on God's earth.""

by makoman: "I can only hope I get to see the video of Sulzberger's beheading!"

by Lazamataz: "If the government won't act, perhaps some private citizens will. Nice and direct and personal-like"

by Lazamataz: "Tar, feathers? You are the very definition of the term 'restraint'. I was thinking more along the lines of the Muslim solution."

by pissant: "String em up, right next to Murtha's sad carcass."

by Zechariah1: "Any retired snipers out there?"

by danmar: "Find the leaker and hang him/her!"

by Don Carlos: "PS. Find the leaker and hang him/her!"

Btw, I only go to that website when I need to make a hardcopy of freepers advcating murder/breaking the law. This will backfire on them.

[niyad]

19. is there ANY likelihood of any of those lunatics being charged, much

less prosecuted over these threats?

[benburch]

30. If the NYT wants it badly enough.

YES.

That is why you need to contact the NYT.

[Raydawg1234]

5. Freeper=All Talk

[William Seger]

36. Ann Coulter wannabees

"Oh, won't someone please murder these people I hate?"

[flyarm]

44. do not always count on that..call NYT and police!..remember

Timothy McVeigh..he went off the deep end..with this freepers shit!

fly

[Initech]

6. Read what one freeper wrote about Adolph

And it's funny - he talks about how Hitler manipulated the press and how he expressed his love for peace and distaste for war - it's exactly every thing Bush has done!

Wow, they are insanely delusional. :eyes:

[Beaverhausen]

11. I refuse to go there - can you copy and paste it here?

thanks!

[Initech]

15. Here ya go:

"To: pissant

I've been reading a book about Nazi Germany. It's funny how things don't change. Back in the 30's, after making a provocative move, Hitler would immediately call in the western press (namely the Times of London, the New York Times, and whatever the big paper in France is). Anyway, he would hold conference with them and just wax on and on about his love of peace and his distaste for war. Naturally, those publications drank this B.S. up went home and published it for an ignorant world to read. These big papers were efectively tying the hands of the west by rallying public sentiment against responding to Germany's provocations. Hitler used to sit back and laugh at how easy it was to manipulate the free press into doing his bidding. Do the Editors of our large news organizations realize that they are once again being used like whores?"

Let's see the comparisons, shall we?

Call the western press? Check.

Love for peace and distaste for war? Check.

Publications "eating this bullshit up"? Check. (and that one is ESPECIALLY if we count Fox News, which in the last six years, has proven to be nothing more than a mouth piece for the White House and Satan's spawn)

Rallying public sentiment? Check.

Sitting and laughing about how easy it is to manipulate the press? Checkity check check!

Oh and let's not forget to mention that the Bush family once had ties to the Nazi party.

[Beaverhausen]

18. oh my

I suspect a troll. No one is that stupid, right?

[William Seger]

32. That freeper is suffering from an irony deficiency

[Initech]

40. Wouldnt surprise me in the least if they were serious or not.

Knowing the "kill all the liberal traitors" mentality of Free Republic... neither would surprise me.

[aquart]

9. Didn't that get the Miami 7 arrested?

12. They ought to watch the Bernie Ward video, and their heads will explode

At Crooks & Liars.com. Is there anything more ignorant than a FReeper? Don't you think they would have evolved by now in the Earth's rich 6,000 year history? What do you expect from a crew whose two most trusted scientists are Ann Coulter (creationism) and Rush "I attended college for three weeks" Limbaugh (global warming)? They don't know or care about processes and protections and rights, Constitutional or otherwise. They just demand validation for their simple views, acceptance of them by all, and they are very frightened right now. So they lash out, and Bush/Cheney/Rove pull the strings.

[johnfunk]

29. "Is there anything more ignorant than a FReeper?"

Yes:
• Rev. Fred Phelps, his family, and his Westboro Baptist Church congregants; and
• Carrot Top fans.

[Gabi Hayes]

31. what about Blue Collar Comedy Tour fans, espec Larry the Cable Guy?

now THAT's some comedy

[johnfunk]

33. If that's comedy, I prefer root canal...

... 'nuff said.

[Faygo Kid]

37. A few contenders from this end for your consideration. . .

Those who don't hit the mute button during Progressive Insurance ads, loudest ever.

Those who believe Barry Bonds got really big because of good nutrition.

Those who think Kevin Costner is one of our finest actors.

Those who are torn between Debby Boone's "You Light Up My Life" and Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" from Titanic as the greatest song of all time.

[proud2BlibKansan]

13. It's amazing how truly clueless they are

It is okay to spend more money investigating Clinton's sex life than the 9/11 attacks.

It is okay for KKKarl to out a CIA agent.

BUT it is NOT okay for a newspaper to report what the administration of the country is doing.


:crazy:

[Minnesota Libra]

14. These Neocons sound like Hitler's Nazi SS nt

[dogday]

16. I believe they are called freeper terrorist

Isn't that what terrorist do?? Threaten to carry out an event to cause fear and terror???

[gatorboy]

20. Isn't Tony Snow a member?

Perhaps at the next press conference, someone should ask what he thinks about his fellow member's remarks.

[cali]

22. upon a closer reading

these probably don't constitute actionable threats, but they come close to soliciting violence.

If the government won't act, perhaps some private citizens will.
Nice and direct and personal-like

That's going to be what it takes to stop this kind of crap and, deep down, we all know it. Civility is wonderful, but it allows cancers like this to get out of hand.

25. They know enough to not be specific.

They might be hoping for some "lone wolf action," though.

[dave123williams]

24. I'd love to see a freeper try something in that regard....

THEN, I'd love to see them try to get off of Manhattan Island without getting fucking killed.

[lonestarnot]

26. Oh but it's ok to leak the names of CIA NOCs

[zbdent]

27. If it were a leftie threatening to hit Mannthrax Coultergeist with a pie,

DHS would be all over it.

If a freeper posted all kinds of schematics and pictures and personal information about Hillary Clinton and threatened to behead her and shi- in her skull, DHS would say "Oh, that's just someone goofing around. Look, there's a homeless guy who's going to blow up DC . . ."

[Avalux]

28. freerepublic is harboring terrorists -

report it to the FBI. It's not funny and it's illegal.

[dogday]

34. Sounds reasonable to me

If it was us, you bet your aunt sally they would of already had 100 reports filled out....:shrug:

[Loge23]

38. They call it treason!!

The nutjobs on the "free"republic call freedom of the press treason.
This sums it all up quite nicely IMO.
They ARE the enemy. They ARE the opposition. They ARE the ones that are destroying our free America.
They ARE the enemy within.

[Contrary1]

39. Must be comforting to be so willfully ignorant:

He has not only endangered the lives of my fellow Americans, he has jeopardized the lives of my wife and child. Yet, I can do nothing or else I will wind up in jail while he is at cocktail parties laughing with his lib friends about how they have gotten away with it again. What's wrong with this picture?
In my lifetime, I would only place Reagan higher than Cheney. Please do something about this Mr. Vice President. Rheoric followed by inaction only fuels their fire.

41. Places Reagan higher than Cheney eh?

It what regard "MattinNJ"? First in line for a place in hell maybe? You wouldn't understand what democracy and freedom are (or honor the people who have died for it-in and out of uniform) if it bit you in the ass, you paleocon.

[tinfoil tiaras]

42. Again, I say that Free Republic

is classified as a HATE GROUP.

...which is exactly what they are.

[flyarm]

43. TURN IT IN TO POLICE!! i won't read their crap...but its against the law.

a threat on life is terorrist behaviour and should be called into fbi ot homeland security ..through your local police..also call NYT and tell them about it!!

fly

[Canuckistanian]

45. Can someone tell me about US law?

In Canada, it is absolutely illegal to threaten someone with death. The charge is called "uttering a death threat" and is taken very seriously, even if the the "utterer" is only half-joking.

Does such a law exist in the US?

[drhilarius]

46. Well, they're terrorists then...

ever bit as guilty as the "islamo-fascists" they revile for killing film directors, journalists, etc.

[Charlie Brown]

47. If their names are mentioned, the reporters should contact the police nt

[ThoughtCriminal]

48. Seriously

And I'm NOT KIDDING. Which one of these assasin wanna-bees mailed the anthrax? Is there really much doubt? I remember how excited a few of them were about the selection of targets.

[fujiyama]

49. Nothing new

These people are Coulterites. Remember when Coulter expressed regret that McVeigh blew up the "wrong" building?

"If only McVeigh had blown up the NYTimes building instead".

These people are a bunch of psychotic violent fucktards. It's also a reminder as to why liberals should arm themselves - if only to defend themselves.

[lolly]

50. Hmmm

Well, as awful as this is, it's hard to get worked up about something the NYT doesn't itself seem to get too worked up about.

Why don't they print this S**t? Why don't they expose the hatred of the wingnut blogosphere? Every time anybody in the press gets a few e-mails from liberals questioning their use of Bush talking points as "news," they run articles screeching about crazy, mean liberals.

So, why not cover this? Why not make a feature story about the bizarre hatred pulsing on right-wing blogs?

Or do the rules only apply to leftist blogs?

I know, stupid question.

[Marr]

51. So*they're* that 18% that actually likes Cheney.

That's about the sort I expected. The stupid, the religiously insane, and the openly fascist.

[mistertrickster]

52. Never forget--FReeptards are indirectly responsible for Nick Berg's

death.

When they published on-line the names of people who attended an anti-war rally, Michael Berg (the boy's father) was linked to Nick Berg by listing his profession: manager in his son's cell-phone company.

CIA in Iraq held Nick Berg for six weeks without charge because he was somehow connected to this anti-war protest thanks to FReeper information. In reality, he was a gung-ho Bush-backer and supported the whole nine yards.

When the CIA finally let him go following his father's "habeas corpus" lawsuit, the situation in Iraq had deteriorated (think, Abu Ghraib) so badly that any American was in mortal peril.

Nice going, FReeptards! You cut off your nose to spite your face.

On edit--the thing is they're so fucking stupid, they probably don't even know that Nick Berg was on their side.

Fucking idiots.
