Nope, not buying it.
When discussing victim-blamers, there was no need for the author to mention Free Republic specifically.
And if the author was determined to mention Free Republic, he could have cited a few other sites as well. But he didn’t. Free Republic stood out all alone.
But wait, it gets worse. The author goes on to connect those minority opinions on Free Republic with Muslim practices.
It doesn’t seem to me that the author was deliberately trying to smear Free Republic. But smear Free Republic he did.
Wrong. If you are claiming that there are no defenders of the pervert Weinstein on FR - blaming the victims = then you haven’t been reading the threads. Thankfully it is a small - but vocal - minority.
