Freeper conspiracy theories about the Dean campaign.

[janx]

This is so funny that I just HAD to post it. Check it out!

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1018979/posts

To: concerned about politics

This my theory:

Most of Dean's donations come from on-line credit card donations. These are under the amount necessary to require reporting to the FEC.

I think that big bucks are coming in from overseas and from a few leftists here in this country.

If said big-bucks donors deposit money in a compliant bank (say...Citibank) and a bunch of dummy credit card accounts are created, all with limits under the FEC threshold, then donations can be sent to his campaign at pre-determined times (say when he announces a fund drive) with a simple computer program. The credit card accounts are paid from the big-bucks donors.

No people to track down, no records, and he flouts the campaign laws without detection.

I absolutely do not believe that there are people donating to his campaign in the numbers he claims.

1. Please check out this thread...really funny!

.

[HootieMcBoob]

15. this one nearly made me spit out my coffee!

To: Miss Marple

I think I am right about all that money...it isn't coming from small donors.

The majority of the Democrat base lives off social programs. They have no money.
That's how the Buddist Monks came into the picture.
Dean is pro-homo, pro-death. He probably gets a lot of his cash through pro-misery groups / communist-socialist organizations overseas.

These guys are a laugh riot :crazy:

[gottaB]

27. lol

that's killing me

[janx]

29. That poster is a laugh, yes. Look at this one:

To: Congressman Billybob

My husband was telling me Dean is internet illiterate. He can't even figure out the e-mail system. Others do his net working for him. He could never get past 'Log in.'
I asked him if he was kidding, and he said no. It was on the car radio, and he thinks it was NPR. It was during the solar flair, and it was the only station that would come in. (It was 91.1 on the dial in NY, what ever that is).
Dean isn't quite the 'metro-tech-up to date guy' he tries to appear to be. He's sort of a backwords small state leftie. He doesn't really have much to offer.
If he can't even check his own e-mail, how the heck does he plan on running a whole country?
I'll guess he throws up every morning out of pure terror. I don't think he's any where near qualified for the presidency. He's like Bill Clinton. He'll be totally lost being in charge. He'll hide from everything the same way Clinton the coward did.

[Cloud]

38. Ahhh, Clinton the coward

If a dem calls Bush a coward we are considered unpatriotic traitors for criticizing the president in a time of war. If a freeper calls Clinton a coward it is all fine and dandy.

:grr:

[janx]

42. That's because everything's his fault...

even now!

[BloodyWilliam]

48. Hehe... solar flair...

"We'll toss around a few throw pillows, coordinate the drapes, the sun will be just FABULOUS!"

[janx]

59. I know...that part made the post even better!

Talk about tinfoil hat!!!

[eissa]

54. "He's like Bill Clinton"

One more reason to vote Dean!

[janx]

60. Trying to get them to post some more...

..

[HighNoonMeetUp]

103. There is some truth to this one

Dean refused to have an email contact or address while he was running Vermont Governor.

Make of it what you will.

[_NorCal_D_]

106. ROFLMAO!

These guys are great!

[Zolok]

69. It's projection...

no doubt these bundled credit card #s are a scam frequently used by the Rove gang to late fund embattled GOP candidates...it's a very telling admission in my opinion.
:)

[Screaming Lord Byron]

2. Good. The less they believe it, the more horrified they'll be

Let's try and lure them into a false security.

[janx]

4. But there's complete denial that the Dean supporters really

exist! It's so funny!

[Screaming Lord Byron]

10. Ahh, group psychosis. That most joyous of things!

They really are clueless. Thanks for the heads up. Keep trawling their trash for these gems.

[janx]

13. I do, I can, and I will. I see them frequently.

I just wish more people over there would join the thread because it's so entertaining to read those posts!!!!

[brainshrub]

94. I am there. I'm gonna start posting in a few minutes

Guess who I am. (Or just PM me)

[arcane1]

34. but of course! TV tells them we all LOVE Dubya

TV wouldn't lie, would it???

:shrug:

[janx]

39. This is so funny I can't stand it. I can't even stop laughing

long enough to post a reply to the latest post!!!

[SlavesandBulldozers]

3. so concerned

the writer is so concerned where Dean is getting his money, meanwhile Bush amasses a fortune through his Saudi-oil ties.

[dave29]

5. bwahhahahahha

My evil plan of winning the Presidency ten dollars at a time revealed!!!

[janx]

12. How many minutes did she spend dreaming up this theory?

Overseas money, fake bank accounts, etc.!!


Good GOD this is funny!

[HFishbine]

6. WhooHoo

How else can you explain it? There certainly can't be that many people who care about America.

They won't know what hit them.

[janx]

14. EXACTLY!

That's what makes it so funny.

[MoonAndSun]

7. Freepers are always in denial, keep them there. Their heads will

explode when the truth finally comes out in November 2004.:evilgrin:

[TennesseeWalker]

8. Sounds like they can't believe that there are that many "leftists" here.

I just finished reading "Dude, Where's My Country". Moore argues that America is NOT a "conservative" nation. Instead, he makes the point that we are a nation of socialists, and furthermore, that the right wing knows it. That's why they're so shrill and terrified all the time.

Maybe the actual implementation of this evil agenda of Shrub's has caused more that a few sleepers to wake up and smell the coffee. It will be very interesting to see what the right does after 2004. Will they give up power peacefully?

We live in interesting times, indeed. You know, the world wasn't always like it is now. Ask an 80 year old what it was like growing up. It could be that way again, if we allow this election to slip through our fingers.

[Loonman]

18. LOL

I had a civics teacher who said the same thing.

I never believed him until recently.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

9. Good grief

Are these people for real?

[janx]

17. I think they are real, yes. But it's hard to believe.

I just wish I could bump that thread and keep it going.

The article is the one that was posted here a day or two ago--the one about Trippi and the success of Dean's campaign so far.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

11. Obviously they haven't been to DU

[janx]

57. Yep. They seem to believe that Dems don't donate during

the primary--at all.

[donotpassgo]

16. Love this quote

"The majority of the Democrat base lives off social programs. They have no money.
That's how the Buddist Monks came into the picture.
Dean is pro-homo, pro-death. He probably gets a lot of his cash through pro-misery groups / communist-socialist organizations overseas."


There is no opposition in Freeps mind, just dark people, homos, and poor people. What kind of sick world do these people live in????

[janx]

19. HAHAHAHAHA! I don't know but

it's the ultimate humor. They are not going to believe what is going to happen.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

22. Good God! Not the Buddhist Monks! AAAAAARGHHHHHH!

[janx]

24. How can we get them to post more? I have to see more!

?

[Screaming Lord Byron]

28. Far as I know, Buddha sat around on his ass all day, doing nothing

Sounds like one of those Democrat sponge-monkeys living off the backs of us hard-working Murikans.

[janx]

32. Yeah, Buddah was a socialist living off the dole. You can tell

because all the statues of him are fat!

[janx]

35. Here's another thread--almost as funny.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1018511/posts

To: Wphile

I wasn't suggesting we be complacent. I was just saying that if Bush loses, he'll lose by a significant EV margin. If he wins, it'll be a significant EV win. This won't be a razor-thin Florida recount repeat of 2000.

Bush does have lots of things in his favor, though. He's a Republican, he's running for re-election rather than an open seat, he was elected after 8 years of Democrat WH control, he won't have an opponent in the NH primary, and he will have more money than his Dem opponent. These are about the best conditions he could hope for. I don't think a presidential candidate has ever lost with these advantages.


63 posted on 11/10/2003 4:39 PM MST by GraniteStateConservative ("We happy because when we switch on the TV you never see Saddam Hussein. That's a big happy.")


Let's see, what are the things in Bush's favor? He's a Republican and he has money? The rest of the reasons this guy lists won't matter at all or have no bearing whatsoever on Bush's chances!

[brainshrub]

96. Post something so inane that even THEY would have to reply.

[GinaMaria]

72. I don't get the "Buddist Monks"

part. Anyone know what that's about? and what picture did they come into? Are the monks wealthy?

:crazy: :freak:

[janx]

73. They came into some freeper's head. That's all there is

to be derived from that post, unless Concerned About Politics returns and explains further.

[Chovexani]

91. I think it's a reference to Al Gore

You know that big stink they made about the Buddhist temple fundraiser? I think it might be a hysterical reference to that non-issue.

I'm not sure though, I'll have to run that thread through my Freeper to Terran dictionary and get back to you. :P

[maha]

20. I love this one!

"The majority of the Democrat base lives off social programs. They have no money.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1018979/posts?page=6#6

You can't make this up.

[lancdem]

23. What do Buddhist monks have to do with social programs?

These people are weird.

[janx]

25. Why everything, of course. The evil Buddhist monks

fuel everything that is against Chimpy!

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

26. Maybe

The world is divided in two categories

1. Right-wing Xian fundies
2. The rest of the Universe

Buddhist monks obviously belong to category 2. Therefore, they're evil and part of the Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy.

[janx]

31. Probably. Keep your eye on the thread.

I'm trying to draw some attention to it...

only because I want to see more of those posts!

[JackRiddler]

65. Correct.

Except you forget, it's not vast - there are no real leftwingers, just isolated freeloaders, inferior races and sickos run by the Buddhist monks and Satanists from abroad.

[janx]

93. Yes. That's where the money comes from--

! :evilfrown:

[Renew Deal]

21. Haven't they gotten the memo.

The money is coming from Republicans because they want to nominate a weak candidate.

[janx]

30. I might make that suggestion...wait a sec...

...

[denverbill]

33. What a stupid cow.

I've donated to Dean twice via credit card, $100 & $150. I've seen online records of my contributions that were publicly available.

Anyone got that website? I know it was out there in a PDF format.

[janx]

36. What website? I'd love to see it. I've donated a few times,

the last time by check. That's what's so funny about it. She just refuses to believe that this is happening and so launches some insane theory about overseas money and fake bank accounts and the distribution of credit cards! :crazy:

[denverbill]

67. Sorry, but I can't find it.

It was several months ago when I saw it, and it was kinda cool to be able to see my name in the contributors list, but since it was a PDF file it took a lot of paging around to find my name. If I find it again someday, I'll post it.

[janx]

74. Please do--

and thanks for checking.

[janx]

37. LOOK! She posted again, explaining why this is not

a conspiracy theory...

To: huck von finn

Really? Are you aware of the practice of money-laundering, which Demnodrats have been caught doing on numerous occasions? Are you aware that Democrats have lots of supporters who do not donate? Are you aware that most Democrat candidates counted on soft money to run their campaigns? How about all those illegal donations in the 92 and 96 Clinton campaigns?

I know quite a few democrats, and most do not donate until they get to the general election. None donate over the nternet...they don't even order books from Amazon. College students do not have enough money to account for the size of Dean's donations. Neither do university professors.

Large scale donors from the past, both from Hollywood and Wall Street, as well as foreign dnors, would be more than happy to help with a scheme such as this.

Yes, it is a theory. I do not think it is a tin-foil type fantasy, though.

I am ALWAYS thnking of the past behavior of the criminal party in order to think what else they will try.

[janx]

40. Democrats do not order from Amazon?!

Oh dear oh dear oh DEAR!!

[Loonman]

43. I guess she never heard of Newsmax bulk ordering

So they can give away copies of O'Reilly and Coulter.

[janx]

47. She would never believe such a thing

about Newsmax--or the American Spectator either.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

51. I don't. I order from B&N.

Because of this: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/amazon.html

Bought many good boks there, and books are exempt from import duty here in Brazil.

[eileen_d]

80. Yeah, and what exactly is a "Demnodrat"

Someone's trying way too hard for a new opposition "catchphrase" I think.

[janx]

92. Double indemnodrat!

It's a new kind of insurance.

[HFishbine]

45. She seems to be under the impression

that Dean is getting large donations, you know, the kind students and professors can't afford. Show her this:

http://www.opensecrets.org/presidential/donordems.asp?sortby=P

[janx]

50. Thanks, I will--even if it means getting kicked off.

It'll be worth it.

[janx]

52. Brilliant idea, by the way.

Thanks for the link.

[HFishbine]

55. Reel her in now

She thinks contributions under $200 don't have to be reported by individual.

Send her here: http://herndon1.sdrdc.com/cgi-bin/fecimg/?_23992096077+0

And ask her to click on the "Last Page" button for a sample.

71. You did a good job

conceling your identity.

[janx]

76. I've done it for years over there.

But all it takes is one freeper lurker here, and they'll kick me off again.

This would be worth it though.

Freepers are nothing if not predictable.

95. 10...9...8...7...6...

...

[arcane1]

49. you know what this means, right?

they pound illegitimacy into the Dean campaign for a year, until eventually even those who actually have a few brain cells begin to believe it.

Then, when Dean wins, they are justified in using any means necessary to prevent him from taking office, due to the illegitimacy. Their violence will be (to them) for the good of 'Murica.

Just like FL in 2000. Convince the brain-dead that votes are being stolen, thus they can shut down LEGITIMATE vote counts in the name of democracy. Projection is their #1 weapon.

you heard it here first. It will happen (regardles of which Dem wins)

[janx]

53. I hadn't thought about it that way, but you are probably right.

Wingnut mentality dictates that they make up things and pound, pound, pound.

I don't think it's going to work this time though.

[ScreamingMeemie]

Hahahahahahaaha.

[maggrwaggr]

the way our out-of-line comments get famous?

[janx]

44. Nobody would ever believe it...I've been watching it for a long

time, but most people would not believe it!

The Dean threads are the greatest. I love to see the reactions.

[maggrwaggr]

46. Man! We need our own news channel, we could entertain all day long

just reading freeper posts on the air.

Calling Al Sharpton!

[janx]

56. There are so many posts like that there.

So many conspiracies, and so little time.

Also, almost any Dem candidate thread ends of being a Hillary thread.

[Northwind]

58. Hmmm....

How different is this, really, to all the crap we have heard around here about Dean's money coming from Republicans?

[janx]

63. Miss Marple gets points because her theory was much

more elaborate. It involved overseas money, fake bank accounts, and fake credit cards distributed who knows where. It also included a lack of reporting. As much as I'd like to give some DUers credit, their theories are NOTHING compared to hers!

Oh--and Miss Marple got help from Concerned About Politics, who threw Buddhist monks into the mix.

Nope, you can't beat that!

[Screaming Lord Byron]

66. Hey! I'm Concerned About Politics too.

Taking over the country with its ideas and theories. Bunch of Commie-talk if you ask me. What's wrong with a good old fashioned dictator. You know where you stand with a dictator.

Maybe she's outside with a telescope trying to find some more "solar flairs."

82. MORE conspiracy and how to use the Patriot Act to snoop

into campaign finance...:

To: concerned about politics

The majority of the Democrat base lives off social programs. They have no money.

I've often wondered about where all their money comes from.

Wouldn't it be interesting if the Patriot Act that they all despise so much actually enabled our intelligence folks to trace the source of all those "donations."

Maybe even a few coming in from some folks otherwise hiding out in the Middle East?

[KayLaw]

75. Insanity!

What kind of weirdo would believe this nonsense? Who would believe that a doctor is too stupid to learn how to click a mail icon?

[truthspeaker]

77. for those too young to remember

The "Buddhist monks" jibe probably refers to the so-called scandal where Al Gore attended a fund-raiser at a Buddhist monastery. Allegedly some Indonesian or Chinese used some of the monks and nuns as straw donors to get around donation limits. But IIRC, no charges were ever filed, despite the efforts of the Repug Congress to make hay about it.

[janx]

79. The same one who believes that Buddhist monks are

involved in some kind of political picture...but that's the hard right for ya!

[xultar]

78. Anyone hungry for a Freeper Sandwich...

OK...Freepers, get off DEAN.

Furthermore no one cares what you believe. If you only knew how much everyone wants SHRUB OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE!! You'd know his donations are real.

There are hundereds of thousands of dedicated Dean supporters who are donating their hard earned money so that we can get ridda u and SHRUB!

I hope that Billionaire dude spends A BILLION dollars to oust the SHRUB!

PS no one is tracking SHRUBS funds and what about that lady who brought rape charges against SHRUB that just died.

Don't let me get started FREEPERS! :nuke:

Without that, would freeperland even exist?

[bushisanidiot]

83. Believe It, Freepers! And get ready for the TIDAL WAVE!!

There ARE that many of us. THOUSANDS of us have never been involved in a campaign before, but DEAN is ELECTRIC! Freeps have no idea what's going to hit them on election day.


HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!

[janx]

90. I hope that some of the more libertarian freeps will join us,

actually. Not all are stupid by any means, and some are very fed up with Bush.

[GinaMaria]

84. Here's a shocker

I just ordered from Amazon, using the DU link. I also used my credit card :eyes:

For the record, I've been earning a paycheck since I was 12 and luckily have held a job ever since. Where do they get their ideas?

I also suspect that Dean knows how to send and receive email.

:freak:

More shock for the freepers... My husband and I will donate to candidates in the primaries, via the Internet, with a credit card.

Sheesh... their posts are down right insulting to working Americans.

[bushisanidiot]

85. This Thread Has Inspired Me To Make Another Donation To Dean! :)

thanks for the inspiration, freeps!

you sure know how to unite us! ;)


hehe!!

[janx]

86. Good for you! I just did so via snail mail over the weekend...

and will do so again in coming months.


Maybe if I can post another thread or two like this, the Dean campaign might get another donation or two!

I'll definitely keep it in mind.

[Jacobin]

97. These people truly do live in an alternative reality

They are beyond stupid....that can't be the only explanation. Clearly they have serious mental issues.

[janx]

98. Look at this one--from a new freeper (so maybe a joke)--

To: concerned about politics

I think Dean gets money from political "turtles" who break the hearts of young writers. Sometimes those writers even start to feel a little burned out.

During this burn-out time, they start making donations to Dean. Since most writers know about Buddhism, this makes total sense.

It is absolutely true that Dean is insane. His operatives call themselves: "Deaneacs".

!!!

[LoZoccolo]

107. Again, a FReeper makes a surreal post.

I have no idea what this means, or what it has to do with "writers".

Writers as in journalists? What would someone breaking a journalist's heart have as a reason to then go and donate money to the Dean campaign? How are these two things correllated?

Does this have something to do with the ProudCon1776's real experiences or something? Was he/she a burned-out writer?

How would knowing about Buddhism make you contribute to Dean? I think I'm missing something if it's supposed to make "total sense".

[janx]

100. THE TURTLE CONSPIRACY!

At first I thought this was a joke, but it's not!

To: huck von finn

If you don't know I'm not going to tell you. It was all over Hannity last week during the Memogate scandal.

But be aware, that political turtles are the core of the Dean campaign. Turtles live a long time...like Hillary, and they will try to wait out Dean.

It is simply not possible that SO MANY small donations are going to Dean. It must be the turtles.
