What makes the Free Republic on Facebook group Official?
Vanity ^ | 4/24/14 | TankerKC

I’m curious what make the Free Republic on Facebook group Official? I see a note from Jim on the page, but I’m not sure that anyone is monitoring the site.

It seems to me, that there’s a good amount of kooky crap on Facebook that would never be allowed on FR proper.

Who “owns” the facebook site?

I’ve seen Jim check in from time to time there.
There are indeed some posts there from shoe salesmen
and kook blogs. I don’t expect it to be up to FR standards.

There are two admins there:

What specifically do you think needs attention there?

Me either, but the FB site is fairly visible. If it's full of blog crap and selfies from the paranoid, folks will figure that is was FR is.

Without scanning the entire set of posts, the beforeitisnews & misguidedchildren "news" and the lady who posts her own face a few times a day come to mind.

Viking kitties?
Jim Thompson?
A Moose?
Thailand?

Is this multiple choice?

I agree, but can offer no solution.

Jim’s busy with FR and Mr. Pon is off on tour with the Tea Party Express, last I heard.

You could always mock and minimize the interlopers to show that they ain’t welcome.

Hell.. I do.

I tried that, but got some unwanted private messages through Facebook.

Pshaw, I'm compiling mine into a book. From a couple different sources.

It's fun.

“the lady who posts her own face a few times a day”

Sounds like several people on FR. Not just their faces, but other personal photos they can’t resist subjecting us to every time the right subject pops up.

If Liberals hate it, it’s “official”.
