One way of looking at this is that FR must be important to the Socialists or else they wouldn’t bother attacking it. The more FR grows, the greater the attacks. Consider this a red badge of courage.

Exactly so, old chap. If FreeRepublic wasn't making trouble for Zero somehow or somewhere, there would be no need to come after us. Kinda makes me feel all warm inside... like I'm getting that Chrissy Matthew's "tingle..."

NO!!! NEVER!!! Slap me when I talk like that.

It's possibly even that the Fox Phenomenon is hitting FR. Maybe Jim-Rob has more bloggers enrolled than Move-On and Daily Kooks combined, and it's got them throwing hissy fits. Or...

...they've finally noticed that we're reader-supported (we don't need Soros' billions to keep afloat), and they are terrified by that level of belief in something... the thought horrifies them, so they lash out in fear and anguish.

Yeah, yeah, that's the ticket. Fear, and anguish. ;-/

yep. Consider us part of Sarah's team now, too. This won't be the last accusation. They will attempt to use the same tactics with us they did with Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh. "Over the target..." and all, you know.
