This article is a revenge article.
The effort is to create the ILLUSION of Guiliani as a centrist by saying FreeRepublic is too far to the right. IOW the mainstream of the USA is too far to the right.
They are trying to USE FR as a foil to rehabilitate the listing SS Guiliani.
The article is pure propaganda.
BTW to anybody, on a off topic, why doesn’t drudge list FR?
What’s a drudge? ;’}
