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.

Can't you read? It says right there on the home page that posters cannot make statements of fact!
Do I need a tag for this?
