Should the Freepers be on a terrorist watch list?
Edited on Thu Mar-19-09 11:24 AM by Adenoid_Hynkel
A typical thread on Freerepublic...

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2209577/posts?q=1&;page=51

...usually contains the expected racism that are typical of "core conservative values and principles(TM)."

"We have elected a monkey as POTUS. I doubt he has any clue that the election is over. That's all he's good at. This "Ruling" stuff is way above his pay grade... "

AND

"No. Only when his purple lips are moving."

but there's always vile, scary shit like this:

"These traitorous bastards apparently forget....

the entire country (excluding clueless, Stuck-On-Stupid Obama supporters) know what he and the rest of his thugocracy DemocRats look like. If or when the country does finally tank....they will ALL be living on borrowed time....and looking over their shoulders for their remaining time on earth."


AND

"Chris Dodd suicide/accident watch?"

Shouldn't these nutcases be getting a visit from the Secret Service? Is there any way we can turn these dangerous rightwingers in for making threats to the Democratically-elected representatives of the people?

2. be careful there....
...maybe you didn't hear about the episode some years back when a city council member (Fresno?) called FR a "hate" site and became embroiled in a heated legal battle.

4. Not as a whole but I bet there are a few there who might fit the bill from activities elsewhere.
Most are little wussies who need their opinions told to them and pretend to be fiscal experts. That in and of itself is laughable.

5. They probably already are

I would think that anyone who posts stuff inciting people to violence or threatening violence is being watched.

Freeperville is hardly an obsure website so I don't doubt that the PTB are aware of them.

Most of the stuff I read over there is just drivel. They sound all macho but it's to impress their buddies. Most of them couldn't find DC even with the help of a GPS system in their pickup truck, (in my humble opinion...)
