Free Republic MENTIONED????This piece was ALL ABOUT Free Republic. And has anyone actually been banned for Pro-Giuliani propaganda, or just argued into the ground?
This piece was good, and unless the reporter got his facts wrong, it only serves as good “PR for FR” at least as far as its a site that will draw people AWAY from Giuliani. I am against Rudy for other reasons, which I find reprehensible: I just think he jumped too quickly into the whole new heady realm of security profiteering that his contact with 9-11 brought to him. I find it TOTALLY unseemly, and it undermines some other good moves he made, like giving the big check back to the Saudi “Prince”.
the reporter may npy have gotten his facts “wrong” but this steve gilvert mentioned in the article was a DU troll that defended jimma carter on his first day, which couldn’t have been more than two weeks ago. I know because i complained about him to a mod.
So, my take is a bunch of du trolls signed up and purposefully got themselves banned so they could write an article about a “purge” at FR
I have yet to run across a case where the banned poster did not attempt to either a) trash other, far more conservative candidates (or icons) to make Guiliani look good, and/or b) re-define core conservative concepts to make Guiliani's positions seem less heinous.
