It’s hard today, with the hundreds of on-line news and commentary sites, to imagine a time when there were few opposition voices to the liberal media. CNN had been founded in 1980 as a cable-based alternative to the “big three” of ABC, NBC, and CBS, and two years later the Washington Times was founded as a conservative alternative to the Washington Post, New York Times, and the only slightly less political USAToday founded that same year. And I do not mean to imply that CNN was “conservative,” only that it was the first to even attempt to challenge the big three.
In 1988, Rush Limbaugh launched his hugely successful national radio show. And that was it: for several years, conservatives had the Washington Times and Rush. Not until 1995 did the DrudgeReport, considered conservative-leaning at the time, appear and make a splash with revelations about Monica Lewinsky’s dress that eventually provoked the impeachment of Bill Clinton.
VDO.AI But already another force was building. Jim Robinson, a California-based software developer who specialized in writing accounting software for fruit growers), had been active on the early Prodigy bulletin boards. At the time Prodigy operated much as today’s Twitter, with a certain word limit before a person had to start a new paragraph and link to it. As Robinson noted, Prodigy was not only clumsy but expensive and he found himself spending a great deal of money just to post on Prodigy every month. “Instead of posting,” Robinson mulled, “maybe I should start my own bulletin board.” He began developing software for a conservative bulletin board in 1995.
A registered Democrat (as was his wife), Robinson “didn’t pay much attention to politics before [Bill] Clinton.” Or, as he put it, “Clinton got to me.” Robinson, a pro-life Christian conservative, was especially put off by Clinton’s private immorality. To solve the Prodigy problem, Jim’s son John—also a software developer—urged him to get his own server. John thought the new internet had great promise.
The original FreeRepublic.com had an html-code foundation, didn’t have a data base, and Jim had to create his own internal search engine. He, John, and a “Freeper” known as Doughty One (Jim’s business partner) launched Free Republic in 1996, just as Clinton was getting re-elected amidst scandal. At first, Jim did virtually all of the posting of articles (while still working a full-time job with his company). Within a few months, the site had 1,000 users, and by the end of 1997, 4,000.
Freepers could post articles from all other sites—Drudge was an early favorite—but also could make comments on the new, which was frequently more informative than the news itself. Soon, Robinson was spending so much time on Free Republic “I didn’t have time to do my own software work.” At that time, he had a company called Software Solutions that had gone public under the name Protosource Corporation, and which was grossing between $2 million and $3 million a year.
At that point, Robinson admitted, “I found out I was the world’s worst manager. The worst,” he added for emphasis. The company had ballooned up with a marketing department, an internet company, a computer training company and so on. The board of directors fired Jim from his own company. But he was allowed a year on his contract and complimentary hosting on the company’s web server. Then the company discovered Robinson’s Free Republic was eating up all of its bandwidth, and Jim was forced off. He started Electronic Orchard as the hosting site for FreeRepublic.com.
By then Free Republic had taken off, first by bringing along many of the older Prodigy posters, but also gaining a new audience of Clinton critics. One of the early Freepers was Lucianne Goldberg, who would become a confidant to Linda Tripp in the Clinton impeachment saga (and mother to neverTrumper Jonah Goldberg). Lucianne left early. As Jim saw it, “She just wanted to form her own website to copy FR.” Not only were anonymous posters present, but soon it became clear that Mark Levin (screen name “holdonnow”), and Sean Hannity were at least lurking, if not posting, on the board. As was Rush Limbaugh’s Bo Snerdly.
As the site grew with unfettered commentary (as Jim originally preferred it), posters could say anything about anyone and ruffled both Hannity’s and Rush’s feathers at some point. Eventually, Rush was attracted back; Hannity, not. At one time, Peggy Noonan, Matt Drudge, and Ann Coulter were all too happy to appear in public with Freepers at events. The Weekly Standard, in a spoof job application to be on Special Counsel Kenneth Starr’s staff in which one of the questions for an applicant was “What is your Freeper handle?”
Without knowing it, Jim Robinson had trained a new generation of internet activists in the person of Andrew Breitbart. Under the screen name “Andrew”—and no one knew who he was at the time—Breitbart lurked and posted on FR. But most important of all, he soaked up the structure and promise of internet-based activism.

Happy holiday to you too Cousin Mike.
I read the article.
Scary but with a lot of possibility to it.
I don’t think the American people will tolerate it.
Good ole Nancy Pelosi, my childhood ice cream friend, gave a great show of how the ruling class thinks.
Many of us were born at night, but not last night.
Asmuch as they tried to claim the video was altered it wasnt.
https://bongino.com/no-that-drunk-pelosi-video-wasnt-doctored/
She really committed a big one didn’t she?
Great pics.
She needs to be thrown out of office.
AND WHERE ARE THE REPUBLICANS CONDEMNING HER??????
So is today the first Sunday one of the Democrat candidates for POTUS-VP have been on the AM talk shows?
Very true.
This is such an unbelievable story but it's all to take the sunshine off of Pelosi.
Look at the ears in that pic! Huge, at least half the size of her big ole head.
I am pretty sure there’s quite a few political pundits reading FreeRepublic.
Mark Levin I’m almost positive.
Rush Limbaugh or his assistants.
Don Bongino.
I mean, why wouldn’t they to better get a handle on what America conservatives believe.
Tell them we all think Nancy Pelosi did a wonderful job of showing America just how our ruling class feels.
Then she goes and says she deserves an apology from that poor working woman, much like most of us.
This will NOT go away.
Facebook is loaded with Pelosi comments, many from people who weren’t paying attention to politics.
Add to it that she did it close to an upcoming election....
Pelosi....my childhood ice cream friend....THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It sure got Nancy’s lawless haircut of the news...
In case you haven’t read it, Michael Anton’s article, The Coming Coup? is a must read. Happy Labor Day weekend.
...
I read this article and thread and there are a couple others...all similar in theories...then there is the opposite mode of thoughts from Carlos Osweda’s Twitter feed which he posits there is gonna be so much overwhelming Trump support to make such attempts futile...not sure which to believe. There is no i. Between position...either PDJT knows every attempted move and has a foolproof plan or the dems will cause national chaos and we won’t know who “won” and the generals will try to remove PDJT from the Whitehouse.
Yes it's why they did it.
It's NOT going to go away. There's too much humor, satire, political nuance to it.
My granddaughter's paternal grandmother even put up a big Facebook post about Nancy's famous haircut, so perfect, the pics are so perfect. Then she adds an ad to vote for Trump which she's never done before, shown no interest in politics.
As this pandemic has affected us all till we're at the point we are suspicious of the whole thing, Nancy gives a fine, fine, perfect, God Bless Nancy, story close to the election.
I bet she's spent the weekend crying.
Well boo freaking hoo Nancy....best political stunt in many a year.
There is no in between position
