Hope it's okay if I post this.

I left the review for Free Republic (the top online Conservative forum) intact. If you want to read the rest, you'll need to go to the link.

Have fun.

#9?

What is a local on the internet?

9. Free Republic

The Freepers!

Membership: right

Simple but effective blog layout with comments posted on daily news items. Militantly territorial community, impatient with strangers, particularly left-leaning ones, but very active community. The "Freepers" are notoriously aggressive in print. If you're not ultra-conservative and you're aching for a fight, you'll find one here. The site excels as a breaking news source as well. Just know that you'll catch hell from the locals if you aren't ultra-conservative or libertarian. You've been warned.

Boy...we’re pretty mean.

DUmmies at #2????

I just can’t take this seriesly.

The left hems and haws about a “Fairness Doctrine” for radio but says nothing about the Internet where their sites, university sites, and Islamic “Death to the Infidel” sites have huge leftist support, funding, and reach.

But then, to the left, “debate” means we all try to be as Stalinist as possible.

And no, a troll probably will not be banned unless they break the clearly stated rules of posting. All they have to do is READ and follow the rules of the house.

But then, as leftists often prove: Rules are for us ‘little people’.

The description sounds askew to me. Although FR has some ultra-conservatives (as I would describe them), for the most part it seems to me a “center OF the right wing” sort of place.

Maybe the writer saw us during the Giuliani Purge. I did see quite a bit of vitriol back then. But I don’t think it’s the norm.

Apparently politics on the internet is overwhelmingly Leftist. Who knew?

[CaptainK]

Seems to have the membership and hit stats for everyone but Free Republic. Wonder why.

[Liberty Valance]

Number 9? Number 9? Number 9?

[clamper1797]

What a crock ... FR after DU ... suuuure

[MarineBrat]

Ping to come back after someone posts the real numbers...

[Tribune7]

It sounds like a list cooked up by some kids as part of a high school project. DU number 2???

FR v DU

Our children bite the heads off animal crackers.

Note they don’t mention Captains Quarters, LGF etc.

I have a hard time believing FR is not the number one political forum, and I do not believe the Daily Kos or Huffington Post are ahead.

-- Huh?

They got the Breaking News right at least.

Practice Courtesy and Consistency (PC²)in supporting a conservative agenda and one will do just fine here. It's not the place for those who only seek to inflame and incite and oft times use every convenient issue to do so.

Whats fun is watching site operators whine about Alexis ratings being ‘inaccurate’ til it suddenly shows a one day ‘surge’ then Alexis is touted from the rooftops of the site that formerly laughed it off.....I heard about that recently in a forum of kooks, and I’m still laughing over it.

If you're not ultra-conservative and you're aching for a fight, you'll find one here.

Somebody put that on the homepage.

Adding sites that have less than 10,000 members to the list is a bit funny. Considering that FR has more than 3,000 new sign ups a month. If John Rob hasn’t changed the thread numbering schema again, FR is approaching 1.5 million threads. That’s right, more threads posted here than on the bottom 10 on that list combined.

Anyway, FR statistics are not easy to find, i.e., they are completely hidden for a few years now. Sure wish someone would give us all a glimpse into the real numbers here.
