Free Republic

I wish to say thank you to Jim Robinson for starting Free Republic because it has kept me informed more than any other blog on the net. Jim I am so sorry you are under attack from the left, but I as a Catholic will pray for you and I now encourage all other FReeper to do the same. God is stronger than the liberal democrats and we know this. So I ask all the FReepers to send Jim Robinson your prayers and ask for God's protection.

Is making a racist remark about President Obama's daughter worse than wishing a conservative talk show host would die? Such should be asked of MSNBC's Keith Olbermann who on Monday was quite angered by some truly tasteless comments about Malia Obama posted last week at Free Republic.Yet, back in April when Olbermann published a diary at the liberal website Daily Kos concerning his waterboarding challenge to Sean Hannity, the "Countdown" host wasn't at all outraged by the venomous attacks made on the Fox News star which included some Kossacks wishing he would die.For those that can stand it, here's a...

Jim Thompson is in good company. There is an article about Zell Miller 'over there' entitled "Zell Miller Is A Racist Jackass" Comment about excessive spending-----you are a racist Comment about nationalization-------you are a racist Comment about excessive taxation-----you are a racist Comment on obama's excessive spending-----you are a racist Suggest Rahm glue obama's butt to the chair in the Oval Office-----you are a racist OR....maybe he is racist because he lives in GA and we all have white sheets in our closets, donchaknow. Anyone who lives in Ga has had disagreements with Zell Miller over the years. But he...

Daily Kos diarist CatM is threatening to sic the Secret Service on Free Republic founder Jim Robinson in retaliation for Robinson's refusing to grovel at the feet of the Kos Kiddies over the Malia Obama controversy, while another Kos poster threatened to sodomize Robinson.CatM is the person at the Daily Kos that wrote the blog entry that fellow Kos Kiddie Chris Parry used as his source for a full-of-inaccuracies hit piece in the Vancouver Sun this past weekend that has been used by liberals to falsely attack Free Republic as a bastian of racism.That the comments were pulled as being...

The runner-up, Jim Thompson, the owner of the right wing website Free Republic, which has moderated comments, meaning a grown up is supposed to read them and delete the crazier ones. But Thompson‘s folks waited as long as three days removing a comment thread devoted to the racist rage of a disturbing large number of his posters, possibly some of the same people who had previously conducted polls on the site on how best to topple the freely elected government of the United States. After President Obama‘s daughter appeared in a t-shirt with a peace sign on it at the...

Jim Thompson, the creator and owner of Free Republic should be a bit upset with Crissie. At least Kieth Olbermann knows the real name of the owner of this site!From the re-write: The writer has a point," wrote site owner Jim Robinson sarcastically. "We should steer clear of Obama's children. They can't help it if their old man is an American-hating Marxist pig." "I agree Jim," wrote commenter, by the nickname NoobRep. "The kids didn't pick their commie pinko pansy of a father. Nor did they choose to be put into the spotlight... ***** One poster by the name of...

"To entertain her daughter, Michelle Obama loves to make monkey sounds." Photo caption of Michelle Obama speaking to her daughter Malia posted on The Free Republic. Disclaimer on The Free Republic: "Free Republic does not advocate or condone racism, violence, rebellion, secession, or an overthrow of the government. " For those of you who have argued vociferously with me that we are living in a "post-racial America" rather than an America in which Jim Crow is on steroids, you apparently have not read the daily diet of racism that the readers and bloggers on this site consume and then regurgitate....

MSNBC's David Shuster, who was suspended in 2008 for proclaiming that Chelsea Clinton was being "pimped out" by her then-candidate mother, on Monday challenged a representative of Free Republic as to what he would do to try and "discourage people" from using "hateful, vile language" on the website. Guest Kristinn Taylor, a spokesman for the Washington D.C. chapter of Free Republic, appeared on the show to battle with the MSNBC Live host over offensive comments that were posted on the site about 11-year old Malia Obama. Taylor combatively contradicted an assertion by Shuster that some racist remarks featured under a...

Free Republic's Kristinn Taylor argued with MSNBC's David Shuster over a thread that was critical of Barack Obama's daughter, Malia. Taylor pointed out how the left and the press were brutal in their treatment of Sarah Palin and her children.

David Shuster sure is spending alot of time on Freerepublic, this is his lastest tweet...

Bill O'Reilly has called Free Republic a hate site and he may now have some ammunition to back up that assertion. "A typical street whore." "A bunch of ghetto thugs." "Ghetto street trash." "Wonder when she will get her first abortion."These are a small selection of some of the racially-charged comments posted to the conservative 'Free Republic' blog Thursday, aimed at U.S. President Barack Obama's 11-year-old daughter Malia after she was photographed wearing a t-shirt with a peace sign on the front. The thread was accompanied by a photo of Michelle Obama speaking to Malia that featured the caption, "To...

Conservative Free Republic blog in free speech flap after racial slurs directed at Obama children By Chris Parry, Vancouver SunJuly 11, 2009 11:01 AM This photo of U.S. President Barrack Obama's daughter Malia, wearing a peace-symbol t-shirt touched off a storm of epithet-laced comments on the conservative 'Free Republic' blog "A typical street whore." "A bunch of ghetto thugs." "Ghetto street trash." "Wonder when she will get her first abortion." These are a small selection of some of the racially-charged comments posted to the conservative 'Free Republic' blog Thursday, aimed at U.S. President Barack Obama's 11-year-old daughter Malia after she...

We will cover this monday: http://bit.ly/3pqS7M. But follow @joetrippi for what can be done on-line. about 2 hours ago from webThe embedded link goes to the Vancouver Sun hit piece posted earlier to FROver at Twitter, the leftists are all in a hypocritical lather over FR.David Shuster is on sometime mid-afternoon East Coast time Monday-Friday.

Not only can’t they get the name right, they don’t have their facts straight. And they have no idea about Free Republic and the FReepers! The FReepers are the absolute best posters on the Internet, bar none! And the FReepers have made Free Republic the number one conservative site on the Internet and in the world for 13 years running! Thirteen years! Three hundred thousand members! Thirty million posts!! And all of this on a shoestring budget! No star glittered IPOs or stock offerings! No commercial sponsors or advertising contracts of any kind! No sugar daddies! No BIG Bucks donors!...

Wingers these days, despite their shrill bravado, are a dispirited group, reeling from recent political developments that signify the utter repudiation of their worldview. In succession, they've latched on to a number of gimmicks to keep hope from being entirely extinguished. Palin is one of those gimmicks and conceivably the most important. And, although she is a gimmick, she is also the current and past respository of hope for deliverance from a poltical reality that crushes their spirit. Clearly, Palin is aware of this phenomenon and appears anxious to exploit it for either political or economic gain or both. Maybe...

File this under: It ain't braggin' if it's true.This weekend, Free Republic won a battle in the political and cultural wars over Sarah Palin by exposing an article published by the Huffington Post that mockingly attacked the Alaska governor and her infant son Trig over Trig being born with Down syndrome.The exposure by Free Republic went viral to Twitter, Newsbusters and Hot Air (includes screen grab) as well as numerous blogs. The Huffington Post pulled the article within hours and issued an apology. The author of the piece of work, Erik Sean Nelson, issued his own apology via e-mail and...

With all the bad news and sad state of our nation, this show and song is intended to remind us of better times, great people, heroic efforts, triumph over tragedy...and just the overall greatness of our beloved nation! It's also a call to action for all of us who cherish freedom and hate tyranny with every bone in our body. On Sepember 12 in Washington DC, a national Tea Party will be in full force, and Free Republic will be represented by FReepers from all across our great nation. This song is proposed to be our 'anthem', our 'rallying cry'...WAKE...

Is Free Republic frozen for some reason? Stuff from 10:30 am today is the last stuff showing up. A test.

We do not share this information to encourage people to engage in criminal acts against certain people or groups. There are other ways to handle them if one feels they need to, although it will depend on how one prefers to approach a situation. Some of the information may be very useful in a trial if any of the groups and/or individuals we are documenting are being sued or charged with a crime. We do recognize however that going to law enforcement is not a favorable approach for some people as law enforcement has had a history of oppression (and...

James Von Brunn’s writings don’t sound very “right-wing.” On June 10, the nation tragically witnessed a memorial dedicated to commemorating an atrocity become the site of yet more death. Just before 1 p.m., longtime neo-Nazi James Wenneker Von Brunn entered the Holocaust Museum on the National Mall and opened fire in an attempt to complete the Final Solution his hero had left tentative, an omission Von Brunn dubbed “Hitler’s biggest mistake.” As former Defense Secretary Bill Cohen wandered the museum grounds, Von Brunn killed Stephen T. Johns, a black security officer, then was shot himself. As of this writing, the...

Denver, CO–In what could only be described as an inexorable blow of justice, FReepers unloaded on a leftist with both barrels, blasting the person, and had fun doing it. The comment from the leftist came after a satire was posted entitled, Rush Limbaugh To Award Obama With A Crap-Filled Diaper. Tip Top was the name of the anonymous person commenting. In an exhibition of total class, this person said, “The crap belongs to Bush. Bush left a big steaming pile on the Oval Office desk when he left office.” Here at Elective Decisions, we have a firm belief in the...

I'm wary of drawing too many lessons from anonymous message board comments. One could certainly pluck comments from Beliefnet's boards to prove that we harbor either right wing or left wing extremists. But it's worth perusing the message boards of FreeRepublic, a conservative community, to gauge the general mood of the most hardcore conservatives. First, quite a few people are saying that murder is wrong, no matter how evil the victim was. SnakeDoc: Thou Shalt Not Murder. Both the shooter and the victim will be judged. Patriot preacher: Pro-lifers should condemn this as antithetical to their philosophy and beliefs. Hopefully,...

In conjuntion with www.freerepublic.com, The American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), Patriot Guard (AR), and Alerts Secure Arkansas is planning a huge rally to support our military. It will be held on Thursday, June 4th, at 4 p.m., in front of the Army-Navy Recruiting Station at Ashley Square, corner of Reservoir Road and Rodney Parham in Little Rock (. This is an emergency rally to show respect for our troops and let them know we mourn the loss of soldier William Long and the wounding of soldier Quinton Ezeagwula. Please bring your Flags, yellow ribbons, and signs. For more...

The murder over the weekend of Dr. George Tiller, one of a handful of physicians who performed late-term abortion, is an absolute tragedy. As Kristen wrote yesterday, many are in mourning and angry over this disgusting and hate-filled act. This was an act of political aggression against a doctor who helped people who were in absolutely desperate circumstances: Anti-choice activists often cast late-term abortions as the murder of a viable baby at the whim of a woman who doesn't wish to be inconvenienced, carried out by a doctor who looks at her and sees only cartoon dollar signs. They're egged...

Freepers do it more often while Michelle Malkin, HotAir, American Thinker, and Washington Monthly Blog sites are trending higher for the past year. As expected, traffic significantly fell off after the presidential election for all sites. DailyKos and most liberal blog sites are trending lower than their conservative blog counterparts. Favorite search term for Freepers include "somali pirates" and favorite tags for liberal sites: "liberal". Go figure! You know they say apples don't fall far from the tree.

From the Free Republic blog commenters, courtesy of Balloon Juice: What goes around comes around... One less nazi as far as I am concerned. This isn't good, boys and girls ... not good at all. This serial-killer piece of excrement will be held up by every abortionist and every lover of abortionists as the reason why the Secret Service needs to be assigned to guard every abortionist, every abortion mill and every lover of abortions in this country. SNIP

I don't know about anyone else, but Bill O'Reilly (O'Reilly Factor--FNC) seems to be bending over backwards to make friends with the left. For some reason, O'Reilly took another cheap shot at conservative blogs the other day, specifically targeting the Free Republic [www.freerepublic.com]. However, it is obvious what the popular television host is trying to do. By attacking blogs like the Free Republic, O'Reilly is trying to position himself as a man of reason, beyond the trappings of political partisanship. Quite honestly, it is clear O'Reilly needs to do more homework before making himself look foolish. Comparing the Free Republic...

(Note: this report is a paraphrase based on memory, not tape. Any inaccuracies will be corrected down thread by me or other FReepers.)Fox News Channel host Bill O'Reilly responded on The Factor tonight to criticisms of his attacks last night on Free Republic and Hot Air by the sites' respective founders, Jim Robinson and Michelle Malkin. The segment last night was on reaction by right and left wing websites on the Judge Sotomayor nomination to the Supreme Court. Free Republic was singled out for an obnoxious comment about Sotomayor being diabetic. Hot Air was singled out for an impolitic strongly...

Anyone else just catch O'Reilly slur of Free Republic He quotes a post says that bama's nominee has diabetes and may not live as long as other recent judges on the SC He sure does like to bash FR!!

Re: Your on-air bashing of Free Republic So, you think that because one poster on FR comments that a diabetic supreme court nominee might not live to a ripe old age that all 350,000 of us are insensitive right-wing loons? Got news for you pal. The owner of Free Republic (namely me) is diabetic and I've already lost one leg due to this despicable disease and the other leg looks like it's ready to fall off any day now. My sister died of complications brought on by juvenile diabetes at the tender age 43. I've out-lived her in years, but...

The great referee standing in the middle equates freerepublic and hotair with the dailykos, a highly irresponsible report from Bill O'Reilly tonight, we need to fill his e-mail box full of exactly what we think....

Upon rewinding the DVR, he quoted: "She HAS diabetes. And that might be a good thing, because she will likely not live as long as recent Justices are wont to do." Then a quote from HotAir as well. No link, this is from the live broadcast of the O'Reilly Factor.

Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks unknowingly kicked off a firestorm in 2003 when she told an audience she was embarrassed George W. Bush was a fellow Texan. Her criticism of the president prompted outrage from conservatives and, in the following days, a movement formed to have the group pulled from the airwaves. Organizing this effort was Free Republic, one of the Web's largest conservative sites, which distributed the contact information of music stations and encouraged members to demand the Dixie Chicks be dropped from playlists. However, fast-forward six years to Barack Obama's election, and Free Republic has a different...

Most people on Daily Kos are (painfully) aware of Free Republic, the bottomless digital repository of bigotry, authoritarianism and hatred for most other Americans, all wrapped in 90's-era HTML. Usually, sane people who stop by there to check it out, find something utterly appalling within a few minutes of browsing, and close the page, never to return. Thus, there isn't a lot of detailed knowledge of Free Republic on Daily Kos. One important feature of the site is that it is community-supported through donation drives called "Freepathons." In 2008, Jim Robinson, the site founder, seems to have decided to purge...

I'm going to try one more time to explain what FR is all about. Free Republic is a conservative site. That does not necessarily mean it is a Republican site. In fact there may be many Republicans we don't support and some Republican issues we cannot agree with. I'll throw in Arlen Specter as a prime example of a Republican we cannot support. Should be obvious to all why not. Should also be just as obvious to all that we cannot support Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins, John McCain and his lap dog Lindsay Graham, Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, et al....

In early March, a gal named Rosanna Pulido won the Republican primary for the upcoming special congressional election in Illinois’ District 5, Rahm Emanuel’s former kingdom. She will lose. But not before making the funnies! She was the founder of the Illinois chapter of the Minutemen, because she *hates* the Mexicans. Once in a CNN interview she described John McCain as “just another politician that acts as if he was elected to represent the Mexican government.” Well maybe he was! AND YET, her most delightful comments came under the name “chicagolady” on the Free Republic website, where she wrote hilarious...

FREE REPUBLIC.... I want to suggest that you set up a function like YOU TUBE. Why should liberal Google have control of this function? Why should all the traffic and adverising dollars go to Google?

I just discovered FreeRepublic's Twitter page @FreeRepublic and I want to say kudos to whoever put it together. If you aren't following, click on the link above to join.

Woo hoo! I just had a warning pop up on this computer (not mine) from something called "Net Nanny" that Freerepublic.com is a source of hate and violence!!!

Thank you, Jim, John, Mods, Posters and Lurkers Somehow I don't like the fund raisers....but I really like this Forum I know it takes money to keep it going Now, that you are not asking, I want to give.... Just to say, Thank You.

Another day, another outrage from the Obama Administration. OK,how about a little diversion? Who is the posting champ of FreeRepublic? Who has posted the most number of threads? The most number of replies? Who has been here the longest(other than JimRob,of course!)? Check "Account" at the top of the page and let us know.

I secured a permit for a March on Washington on 9-12-2009. The next round of tea parties will be on July 4th, but I'm going to start promoting the 9-12 protest as well.

I have met so many wonderful freepers here on FR over the years, and many that I would like to connect with for Conservative Activism!!.. It is hard to do, however (unless you remember every kind poster's nick.), Please would it be so hard to make it possible to have a "friend's list" next time you update the site like Facebook, Myspace, Youtube. Thanks, Jim. Thanks, I do however love FR! JS.

Taking aim at the way news is spread across the Internet, The Associated Press said on Monday that Web sites that used the work of news organizations must obtain permission and share revenue with them, and that it would take legal action against those that did not. A.P. executives said they were concerned about a variety of news forums around the Web, including major search engines like Google and Yahoo and aggregators like the Drudge Report that link to news articles, smaller sites that sometimes reproduce articles whole, and companies that sell packaged news feeds. They said they did not...

Friends attending the tea party locally, tell me that ACORN is attending them and misrepresenting their allegiance. They are getting petitions signed, misrepresenting them as against Obama and taxes. They explain something different than that written on the petition. More fraud, and lies from Obama Acorn people.

FreeRepublic Announcement- Partnership Agreement with the Church of Scientology Citing the need to improve its image in the World Wide Web, the Church of Scientology, today, announced a partnership with the world's leading political Website, FreeRepublic.com.
