Yes, it’s a first for the Free Republic Welcome Walgon. That ping had nothing to do with birthers v. anti-birthers. Read the thread to which the Admin Mod linked for more information.
Good grief....talk about conspiracies...
Who cares that an Admin pinged you to this thread?
And who cares what the topic of the thread is?
Some people just don’t have any clue how to be open minded and see this new “Welcome Wagon” for what it is....simply to welcome new FReepers. You’d think we were starting a new elite group or something, and they are jealous they weren’t invited.
How childish. In any case....I think it’s rather funny how so many jumped on this article and Western Journalism for posting it (because he’s new) and their validity, when the same exact article was posted by another FReeper not too long ago and THAT one was just fine. Sheesh
