FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)
Urban Dictionary: freep

Freep:

To slew or cheat an online poll by repeatedly voting (clearing cookies, using proxies) or to make a blog appear to be commented by numerous posters by the same means. (From the practices of the Free Republic or "freepers")
The results of the CNN question of the day were running 70:30 in favor until an hour ago when it got freeped.

That looks like one posting, in one location, that liberals and conservatives read... Your claim was that conservatives freeped the poll, linking to CD thread isnt valid evidence unless your claiming this site is conservative in nature..

Did you bother reading my linked post? They provide the links to Free Republic... where the "freeping" quotes came from. Regardless, since the discussion was old, I'll give you the cache pages to Free Republic where they discuss how they "Freeped" the poll. You can find them youself by google searching the title of the poll and the site Free Republic (MSNBC Poll site:Freerepublic.com - Google Search)
