Someone needs to tell the poster that all the Cruz supporters were purged long ago.

RE: Where are the Cruz Supporters on FR?

1) Most of them have been Zotted

2) Many of them have come to this forum

3) Some of those who have NOT been Zotted are AVOIDING posting anything derogatory to Trump, preferring to post something more "acceptable" or "JimRob approved" instead, like attacking Democrats.

which is to say, if you are looking for any messages supporting Ted Cruz, FR ain't the site to go to.

And here's the other thing, if you are looking for nationally syndicated Talk show hosts who are supportive of Ted Cruz, these are NOT the people you should be listening to:

Sean Hannity
Laura Ingraham
Michael Savage
Mike Gallagher
Bill Bennett

(I'll reserve my comments about Rush Limbaugh until I listen to him later ).

Those talk shows that are more supportive of Cruz are:

Mark Levin
Michael Medved
Dennis Prager
Kevin McCulloagh

Almost all...lol. I'm currently under suspension. There are very few left, a hardy bunch that braves JimRob's echo chamber.

That is why I find this funny.
They aren't smart enough to figure out that they have fewer and fewer people that are in opposition to them, and it took them all this time to do so.

Either Zotted, or soft Zotted.  I fall into the latter category.  All of my comments are reviewed before published, and anything that is not pro-Trump is simply not allowed.  It's a shame what JimRob has done to his once proud and respected site.

As much as I used to love FR (16 years worth), it seems so troubling that most of the remaining contingent seem to have some brain rotting fungus in their heads.

I also noticed that they're 21 days into their latest Freepathon and at 24% of their goal, slower than usual.  I wonder if that is sinking in yet?

Hm. I hardly recognize any of the handles posting on that thread.

FR may have even more n00bs that TBR, but you can guarantee that none of them will stick around after Hillary wins in November.

You'll notice many of the rabble-rowsers enticing mob action only come around every four years.  One one of the threads around February or March, before the purges began (and this is by far the biggest purge on their site) there were several people who called out some of them and posted links to their posting history to show they just come out for election cycles and every time, do the same thing- start fights, and get the mob worked up and divide people. It was almost like clockwork.

If you don't remember it, there was a book written around 2001 by a FReeper called 'Hillary's Secret War' and the entire introduction outlined examples they discovered of Clinton political operatives creating accounts on FR and other sites in order to steer opinion.

They know good and well this has happened but for some reason, they let it (they are about the drama, not values any more- that changed somewhere between 2002 and 2004)

Seems like I've been kicked off, also.  Been on for 10 years, but they say I'm a troll now because I questioned Donald.

Come to think about it, I didn't really question Donald, I just asked how come nobody thought Cruz was referring to Donald when he said "is to commit to each of them that we will defend freedom and be faithful to the Constitution?

Welcome @mirvin

You'll probably recognize a ton of names... And a some what saner environment.

Here's the official 'Welcome FR Refugees' thread - though trying to read it all would be a major undertaking...

It's still there, getting views.  The thread is over 300.  Thanks for the plug!  Apparently the purge continues because we still have lifeboats coming in to the FR Refugee Welcome thread.  It's a good thing I still have plenty of coffee and donuts (and beer) for the new arrivals.

Lick spittle cowards lying their heads off about Ted because they know they cannot be challenged.

What an offensive place it has become. I've never read DU but I can't imagine it being any worse.

As for those over there hoping the zotted ones will return, not me.

Jim Robinson and his jackals can rot in hell. They'll never see me spend a dollar there or write a word ever again.

Robinson is too damn stupid to tell the supporters of his forum from fly by night Democrats.

I was there for sixteen years and gave him many dollars in the belief I was supporting a good forum and a good man, and I get chucked off for a fairly held and expressed opinion.

"Reported" to him by a bunch of running yellow backed Johnny come lately jackals.

Eff Robinson and the horse he rode in on.

Well I answered the question, and quite politely and honestly, but I have been on double secret probation with all comments held for Moderator review and they deemed it to offensive to be posted. I was once castigated by a forum member for not being a Trump zombie, he told me that I shouldn't even be posting there................but then said that if were pony up a donation then maybe I could be allowed to continue posting. :wtf!:

I doubt there was ever any chance of it anyways. I was suspended and then banned while Jimmay was still pretending to be divided between Trump and Cruz, even while talking up Trump and downing Cruz.
