What the disclaimer does not say is that every single post is an opinion. In other words, some posts may be opinions, while others may constitute assertions of fact.

Nope. It says they're opinions. "Opinions posted on Free Republic are those of the individual posters "

Nope. It says they're opinions. "Opinions posted on Free Republic are those of the individual posters . . . . "

That disclaimer is definitely posted on the FR website. There I just made a statement of fact. If I was to say "that statement is nowhere to be found on the FR website," I would also be making a statement of fact, albeit a false one. The disclaimer you rely on is not ironclad, and it isn't even unambiguous. I'm not sure how you can argue with a straight face that FR posters are incapable of making assertinos of fact in their postings.
