Thanx for the 2 AM levity.

For the newbies, or semi-newbies, Hannity has carried a long standing grudge against Free Republic, so anything that he allegedly said should be considered in that light, though I doubt the conversation that this person mentioned ever happened.
As best as I can recall, Hannity’s complaint is that he isn’t afforded the respect he feels he deserves on FR. But I guess his Twitter Army gives him the worship he requires.
Well, Jim, congratulations are in order.
The GOPe is really getting concerned to come up with this pathetic attempt at manipulation.
They know Romney is vulnerable at the convention in Tampa. Sounds like they’re peeing in their silk panties.
Of course anyone who reads my rants soon realizes that I do NOT support Romney but OPPOSE B. Hussein Obama.
That is much the same as I (and so many of my Nam Vet brothers and sisters) did in 04. We were not supporting Bush (as most of us realized he was a wuss, RINO) but opposed that bottom-feeding, TRAITOR and Rat-Bas-Turd, Kerry.
I did get banned in 07 or 08 when I brought up the "I" word (impeachment) when W was pushing for "Amnesty" but hey, no biggie.
I guess time will tell as to how far I can go with regards to continually sounding the warning about our Community Agitator and his intent on Harming--if not DESTROYING--our Republic and comparing his record, words and deeds to Mitt's whenenver someone here posts something attacking him and encouraging all to stay home come Nov based on "Principles"...which in my opinion, is the same as wanting to see O'Bummer reelected.
Time will tell.......!!!
0bama symathizers? Really? I didn’t count how many times he mentions your name. Slandering others is no way to drum up your own business..
I may not agree with everything posted here...but that’s what the FREE in FreeRepublic stands for. And I’ve never seen anything like the derogatory behavior this one describes, especially from the ladies mentioned.
An axe to grind but he’s approaching slander limits.
For the record, I can get more news on more subjects in one day than listening to Hannity parroting the same thing over and over again. And I’ve seen Rush use stuff that I’ve seen here first and believe either he or his staff must read this...and it trickles down to the old media in a few days time.
Plus, we’ve got the Gods, Graves and Glyphs (Thanks SunkenCiv!!), the gardening thread..and so many other worthwhile subjects.
It's ten gallons of manure in a five gallon bucket.
I know nothing about any of this, but I must say it reads like it was written by someone who never got past Junior High School.
With any site personalities are going to come out. Geeez, get over it.
This worthless pos dog poo is a self lover...
The person I know of who could exhibit such naked vanity and conceit, while so blandly referencing Quix ... is Quix.
I meant to say “The ONLY person ... etc.”
Hannity isn’t much of a man...neither are most RINO’s...
RINOs sure go nuts when you refuse to go along with their statist plans for us. Just like liberals.
By the way, I doubt I’ve ever said a cross word about Hannity. Oh, maybe a little critiquing here or there as I’m wont to do (critiquing the media is part of the job y’know) but I doubt I’ve ever kicked him under any buses.
As far as our budget is concerned, a link to it has been posted on our donation page for at least the last 10 years or so. Have no idea why anyone would think I’m trying to hide it. Not unlike most other businesses, our largest expense is compensation for the four of us who operate FR. We all have mortgages and debts and have to pay the light bills, eat and pay taxes just like everyone else. And we seldom eat at the Olive Garden. None of us are independently wealthy and I announced on FR many, many years ago that I do not have the financial wherewithal to fund it myself. This was way back when we had only a couple two or three thousand posters signed up and we out grew the service we were hosted on. We swamped them and were basically kicked off the service. We had a choice to make then, find a way to fund it or shut it down. It was just a hobby at the time so no big deal, but the FReepers thought it was worthwhile to continue. We now have over three hundred thousand accounts signed up. It was the FReepers who came up with the idea of funding FR by FReepathons. We’ve been following suit ever since.
And I’m pretty glad we continued because we had some great successes during the Clinton years. Bob Barr credited us for getting Clinton impeached. That’s one for the history books. Then there was the little blowup in 2000 when Owl Gore attempted his coup d’etat. FR was thick in that battle too. And again in 2004 when the FReepers took down Dan Rather and helped swiftboat John F’n Kerry. And, of course, our part in the 2010 tea party sweeps. And our hundreds of other smaller adventures, rallies, protests, etc, in nearly every city in this great land all during the Clinton years, the Bush years, the war years, and now the struggle to help save America from the Marxists and statists. We were the tea party before there was a tea party.
We can fold up FR and go away anytime the FReepers feel it is no longer viable or worthwhile. Either that or we could take a shot at funding it via commercial advertising. I’d rather not go that route though, if we can possibly prevent it. I think it would change the entire purpose and nature of FR. I kind of like being totally independent and genuinely grassroots oriented. And I really like the freedom to speak my mind. Well, maybe I do rant and rave a bit too much, and I’m pretty quirky, some say an ideologue or a “purist” (now that’s a laffer) and some say a tyrant even an ogre or a “mean shit” but sometimes I just can’t help myself. I was raised in an earlier time, way back when America was a free country and God and country were worth fighting for. It’s hard for an old dog to change his ways or go along with all this RINO statist b/s.
Thank you all very much for making FR the leading pro-God, pro-life, pro-liberty conservative website on the planet!!
God bless America!!
God bless the FReepers!!
FReepers ROCK the world!!
We are the resistance!!
Geez, what a drama queen that clown is.
Hannity has his own forums created after he bashed this place in 2005, so I read, and even on their a guy is saying Romney will lose because he is rino. But they purged the thread I think. I can not find it. Evictlibs was the user who posted it.
Fawn Vanity lost me when he wouldn’t touch the DADT issue. Lightweight. I’ll take the average Freeper’s opinion over Fawn’s anyday.
His site is so odd that the first post is on the last page of a thread. Therefore the newest post is on the first page.
Why post this silly “We don’t like you” middle school junk? Who cares about other websites who don’t like it here? Have fun with All That, if they have nothing better to do. I like this site as what it is, a great collection of opinions on things from the conservative viewpoint. I feel at home here and have for almost 12 years except for briefly during the recent Newt Gingrich phase.
I have defended Sean Hannity here a million times. People here love to hate him, calling him “stupid.”. I think this is unfair. He is a strong conservative with 5hours pf airtime a day, more tv time than any other conservative, and may be converting people to our side in huge numbers.
No one calls ann coulter stupid, but she does and says a lot less conservative stuff. If conservatives were judged by their dogged work for the cause instead of IQ, Sean would be a gold medal winner. He’s a hockey player, a bulldog, and we need him on our side.
But being constantly called stupid here -— well, I get why he doesn’t like this place. We eat our own. I don’t even listen or watch him right now, but I respect him greatly and am grateful for his honest, treue blue conservative hard work.
