Were you in South Carolina in the summer of 2001 for the Freeper Convention?
That was before my time-I joined in 2004. I went to the one in Washington DC - I don’t remember the date, but it might have been 2010-The First Annual Free Republic Tea Party Convention.
LOL, it was a lot of fun. I drank a lot of 7&7s and cornered some poor guy who I admired and chewed his ear off.
Sigh. He would probably never forgive me for that one.
