Sorry, but I think more than 80% of the FR are still HERE! He's got his numbers backwards.
sniper style purge against members that disagree with the President’s ‘guest worker’ amnesty or support more control of illegal immigration
That's a downright lie. I believe the opposite to be true. Jim.....Can you sue?
I agree. I'm not in favor of wild, uncontrolled immigration of any kind, but neither is Bush and neither is JR. However, the stuff I have read posted by the "anti illegals" crowd was enough to make my hair stand on end. It was full of undeniably racist, raving bigotry, much of it anti-Catholic as well as anti-Hispanic, and I doubt that 80% of Freepers shared those opinions.
I'm glad JR is doing something about it. I was considering stopping my donation because I really didn't want to be associated with a site that had people like that posting on it, frankly. They should be off with the Aryan Brotherhood.
Actually, I have often thought that some of the more radical and off-the-wall ranters were plants from the Dems, trying to stir up some of the more easily stirred-up folks and also trying to make all of us look as though we should be wearing white sheets. I thought that one of these days, they were going to announce that FR was a hate site and get us closed down. That would be typical leftist politics, and I think JR is aware of it, too.
