‘Free Republic’ Now A Safe Space for Donald Trump Supporters [Jim's response at post 25]

On the right, we’ve grown to pride ourselves on our greater openness to debate and ideas, on having no need to toe a Politically Correct line or crawl into a “safe space” like pampered college kids who just can’t handle hearing from anyone who disagrees with them.

For myself, I am so personally dedicated to this ideal that I even perform the great personal sacrifice of reading the comments field beneath my articles.

Yet somehow I wasn’t surprised to see Donald Trump supporters, those swaggering tough guys, turn one of their favorite Internet forums into a safe space where they no longer need to encounter criticism or opposition. Earlier today, Free Republic proprietor Jim Robinson announced that the discussion board would no longer tolerate opposition to Trump’s candidacy.

Not me...lol.

Well, that's one down.

[nhwingut]

Haha... Thanks.

[Night Hides Not]

Well, that's one down.

Shouldn't be hard, 90% of the Class of 1998 has been zotted.

the Butthurt one

FR has never been a “free speech” forum. You can find those on liberal campuses. We are and always have been heavily biased toward God, family, country and we are looking for like-minded patriots. Liberals and disrutive naysayers get the zot.

NeverTrump=OkWithHillary, a godless America-hating treasonous communist bitch!

To hell with that nonsense.

FR was founded over 20 years ago specifically at that time to fight against the Clinton crime family. And you think I’m going to give up that fight and allow another Clinton to waltz into the WH to appease a bunch of sore losers?

The hell you say.

[JOAT]

Yawn. Enjoy your new site.

This guy just doesn’t understand that talking to a Clinton voter is like talking to a dog. Neither understands you but the Hillary fan craps on the floor before walking away beaten on every point.

LOL.

[SaveFerris]

He’s probably all-in for Jeb Bush or Ted Cruz and it just didn’t work out. So now he haz a sad.

Dear Robert Tracinski ....

[laplata]

What lies?

[Sir Napsalot]

The Federalist? Why?

[JBW1949]

Yeah, that was kinda obvious, wasn’t it???

[JayGalt]

Yes indeedeo. CW Wright has found a home there too.

[PROCON]

Bump!

IF ALL those were in fact the original members of FR and not some usurpers of accounts/logins.

Ninety percent you say? Well, you must be privy to info not available to all FR members. How did you come by that?

Another sissy Mom’s boy talks tough behind his computer screen and then squeals in hysterics when his poison pen gets responded to with the same level of vitriol.

Note to the screaming cry babies in the Petulance Party. If your are going to write these sort of childish polemics, expect people to shoot back

[smoothsailing]

This guy apparently thinks there are other Republican candidates still contesting the Republican primaries. Otherwise what he’s saying makes no sense.

[Eddie01]

“Pussywhipped”

[Jim Robinson]

You still here? If you hate FR so much, why don’t you change the channel?
