Contrarian commenter anon1 found this one, but alas it had been pulled. It's too good to pass up, though, so I used Google's cache-based infomancy to pull it up. All
3 glorious pages.
Beyond all the attention, what I really enjoy is when Freepers search themselves, find a particular post, and take issue with it. They seem to have a habit of misinterpreting themselves, which I would not have expected. I've saved those for the end.
I think this is the only Freeper to at least find me funny. Thanks, such an admission against interest means a lot to me!
I Google my screen name a couple times a year just to see what comes up.
I got two hits on this guy's website.
Both my posts were pretty innocuous.
I didn't really understand the point of the guy's comments on either one of them.
He does have a good sense of humor, though.
And he does write some good one liners.

Many Freepers take mentions here as a sign of honor. As an external sign of "more Freep than you," I suppose that's hard to argue.
I’ve made it’s list a couple of times.
Like earning a stripe.

It’ a true honor. lol.

Because when you call for
killing innocent Muslim Civilians,
think Ken Burns is gay for negroes, and
complain about Obama's shucking and jiving, you don't have much choice but to double down.
He's not insightful and doesn't seem to make any sort of counter-argument beyond variations of: "Can you believe this guy said this?"
And for the record, I agreed with everything I said that I found on his blog.

ClearCase_guy correctly pointed out that I'm not exactly engaging Freeper's arguments. This is true - that would be too much like work. Though this guy thinks differently.
LOL, I figured they read here but it they must be besides themselves because they can’t respond here and spread their BS.
So they have to create a site to respond. That makes me laugh. It sounds like being confined to the children’s table for them because the adults don’t want to hear their childish rants, LOL.

This is my favorite post, I think. The idea that Free Republic is so evidently true, only idiots can read it and not become Freepers. Also,
never mind the
constant zotting of apostates, it's intellectually super-free!
The guy has to be a moron. He can’t read FR for that long and still have his head wedged so firmly between the cheeks of his ass. Its Intellectual cowardice.
One of the nicest things about FR is the fact that we do disagree.

A number of Freepers play the "isn't this pathetic" card.
I saw the guy remark that a particular Freeper posts all the time. That’s really a source of hilarity; he apparently spends every waking hour scouring FR, copying posts, and stalking individual posters to build up personal profiles on them. There’s no way this loser could have a job.

Believe it or not, I am able to hold down a 60 hour a week job. It really doesn't take too long to assemble a post. And I wouldn't do it if I didn't enjoy it for some reason! I'll admit I will probably have to give this up when I start a family.
Also, the "all the time" poster? Probably
little jeremiah...yeah.
Joke or actual conspiracy theory?
You misunderstand.
That is his job.

It has to be something really extraordinary for me to note posting frequency (or typos) - I'm aware of the irony. Some, however, are not.
I’ve made his blog.
And a personal message to the blogger because we all know he will read this.
Dear leftist blogger,
You really need to get out more. Nice blog though, Your parents must be proud.
Thank you,

Freepers do love the word
creepy!
There are a number of those sites that exist solely to read our posts and respond to them privately, (in his own head, on his own little unread blog), it is creepy.
Some of us see personal stalkers who become obsessed with us, but nothing is like these private little stalker blogs set up purely for reading and responding to our individual posts from the freerepublic forum.

I'm pretty happy, machogirl. You, however...
The analysis that takes my interest as a sign of Free Republic's national significance is flattering, if silly.
Like Palin, they wouldn't talk about us if we weren't relevant.
Keep on Freepin' on!

Though I will say that I think this current Tea Party moment is basically coming from Freepers' ideals, so they ain't nothin'.
Shockingly,
Viennacon finds I complain about race too much.
He likes to cry ‘waaaaycist’ a lot.

Then there are those who looked themselves up and have specific complaints:
Wonder how it feels to not have a conscience? They mock you for believing a baby deserves life and not to have its arms, legs, head....cut to pieces. How cruel of me to disagree.

She seems to take issue with my posting her prayer for Sarah Palin in 2008, which included asking God to show America Obama's "associations with criminals and evil people" which I'll admit is at least consistent with Free Republic's understanding of truth.
She did not mention some other posts: her desire that
men post that Obama is a Muslim on CNN because "I don’t believe women should serve on the battlefield, and that site is hot with the enemy." Or her seeing
Obama's car failing in Israel as a sign from God, or
her fear 'the left' would bomb a mall to distract us from the Benghazi hearings.
null and void recognizes why his post is horrifying, though he doesn't seem to care.
null and void may have the most tasteless comment I’ve ever seen on Free Republic.
“Because no one would vote for a democrat with brain damage, right?”
(Referencing Hillary Clinton who couldn’t remember anything under oath after banging her head, I did include a big picture of Gabby Giffords, though...)

Darksheare seems to have misunderstood his own post.
I made his list for correctly referring to Israeli action in southern Lebanon as having slammed Russian plans to a halt in 1982.
...
So what does illiterate liberal idiot boy do upon reading my post?
He tries to claim that my reference to “the 80’s” means “today”.
I laugh at him and would thoroughly enjoy making an Undead Thread out of him.
Especially since he is subliterate and temporally challenged.

I do misread sometimes, but in this case the
post in question ends the description of 1980 shenanigans with "I’d say Gaza is their backup plan" in a thread called "Russia Sends A Detachment Of Ships To The Coast Of Gaza." Better luck next time,
Darksheare!
Yeah, I'm not buying that "
sons of Obama" refers only to Obama's male offspring.
Barack has no sons and there is no draft for women. When I said how many of "Obama's sons" are going to Iraq as he gears up to send troops back in, it was a "trick question". The answer is ZERO. He has no skin in the game and will send other peoples' kids to the meat grinder just as he continually spends OPM (Other People's Money).
Nothing was implied about "how many black people are going to be sent there".

Surprisingly few actually completely miss the gist of my criticism, though there are some!
I was reported for having an issue with Haitians trashing residential and resort areas in the DR. I imagine the author wanted to point it out as a racist issue. I suppose if he had ever been to the DR, he’d notice that many of the people are black or of mixed heritage, as is my wife. The Dominicans mourn the destruction of their side of the island by a people who have no respect for them or the land. Interesting that lefties do read our site. I’d like to think they could become better people for actually being exposed to something other than the mung of leftist groupthink.

The
post in question starts: "The Haitians are crossing over into the DR enough to noticeably soil paradise." The issue is not with the truth of the events, dude.
And let us end this foray into the meta with a return to the Free Republic we all know: Darksheare tells a story of being a badass.
I had a physical stalker.
I scared him bad enough that I never saw him again.
I probably shouldn’t have stood next to him for ten minutes before offering him assistance.
He tore out of the parking lot by the house screaming.
What a pansy.
