Freeps infiltrating Kerry-Edwards phone banks
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1250076/posts

To: Principled

awsome I just called Bernice from Florida, I stated that even though John Kerry is lying about almost everything we need to get him into office, even if it puts her grandchildren in harms way. What fun, next call please

4. Legal?
Are there legal concerns about doing that?

I bet it's a lie though. I've been phone banking for Kerry here in WI, and you hear what everyone else is saying. If a fellow had tried that in the room we were in, I don't imagine he'd have stayed in that room very long.

9. My fear
I actually had wondered about this, because can't you sign up to phone bank from your home right on the Kerry site? I mean, this is so disgusting if people are doing such a thing. I hope they can prosecute. Because I believe at least you do have to sign up to get lists, right?

8. Alert Kerry-Edwards campaign - they may need better security and/or
Edited on Tue Oct-19-04 01:45 PM by mazzarro
screening for their phone bank volunteers!
I hope this is not the same lousy security that senate democrats had for their server that was compromised by the reThugs!

15. No need to take chances
K-E should assume the worst case scenario in this case especially this close to Nov. 2 and act expeditiously to beef up security; because after the fact, there will little or nothing the K-E campaign will be able to do.

17. It is very easy to get the call list - you just sign up online.
Hopefully they can track what contacts were made by whom and find out if this freeper really called that person.

35. It's too easy...I was wondering when this would happen....
I've been calling for a few weeks and felt K/E needed to be more careful handing out phone numbers....

to be mainly all sizzle and no steak. But still, yeah.

18. Correct - most of their mother's took away their phone privileges
ages ago. Its tough, being in your 30's and living in your mom's basement without a phone - no wonder they are so bitter.

This oughta get covered by the press (yea, I know. I'm living in a dreamworld.) Just disgusting that these assholes would call people and harass them. Seems like they should get prosecuted for that.

16. Another example of retarded freeper behavior
So lets get this straight: these guys are making bogus calls with thinly / non-veiled anti-Kerry sentiments to a group of people who're emphatically pro-Kerry enough to have volunteered their personal info to his site so that they could be informed of opportunities to help his campaign? I say let the dumbasses waste their time and run up their long distance bill.

Maybe the Patriot Act will allow investigators to get kendu's real name, address, etc, from the FR webmaster?

26. Actually, I think the pathetic droogs are just shooting themselves
in the foot. If you received a call like the ones described over at freakville, what would be your reaction? This is just going to make people angry at the slimes that would do such a thing.

must be really really sad to have such low self esteem that one would have to deliberately pervert the election process to feel like big shit on turd mountain.

39. Absolutely. They're not cold calling people out of the phone book.
The folks they are reaching (if they're not lying just to show-off to each other) know enough to understand these are cranks. :eyes:
Pitiful, really. Calling numbers out-of-state that they've received through fraudulent means (signing up as Kerry volunteers, no less) is probably breaking a few federal crimes, at best. Well. Gosh. Too bad.

:nopity:

Their excremental hypocrisy is heaped so high that they need wings to see over their own waste. :grr:

32. Can you imagine the outrage
If DUers signed up to phone for Bush and then said stuff like, "He has an IQ of -3 and he's a war criminal, but FOUR MORE YEARS ANYWAY!" We'd be lynched!

34. Sad--probably true, but lame. The Kerry Phone Corps numbers are
SIGNED UP VOLUNTEERS for JK! Yeah they can use up their Long Distance minutes calling strong JK supporters to talk some RW BS instead of calling their own folks! Nice use of time and money!

41. Not only that, each phone call for their OWN side would be MUCH more
effective for them than trying to fuck with JK phone corps. I guess it's just like the story of the scorpion who stung the turtle while crossing the river, causing both of them to drown. It's just their nature.

43. These are the kind of people
who justify purging minority voters, surpressing voter turnout, intimidation and cheating is justified to win an election. Staging attacks at rallies, breaking in and shooting into their own headquarters. Rove planted a bug to smear a political opponent in his early days.

Of course this latest move by them is not hard to believe, this is who they are, this is how they operate.

42. This would make an interesting expose .
If you add this to all the other vote and voter tampering that has gone on by the Republicans , you see a Party that is corrupt to it's very grass roots .

Do you think Paul Krugman would be interested in this ?
