Team Sarah has its own issues, but Free Republic is well-established and would be very difficult to attack. Someone is being a little overly paranoid in this email.

Attacks can come in various ways. Anyone who doesn’t think some of our 2008 Freeper Boomer Generation aren’t a part of something like this is naive.

You're a dreamer!

Freerepublic has been taken down completely so many times that you should know better than that.

I would agree. We need to be very diligent about trolls, as has Team Sarah, but that is what these “recruits” of the one will be doing. Spying, creating racist remarks and then playing tattle tail for the one.

There are more than one way to interfere with FreeRepublic. It would not take an official shutdown. An Obama disciple employed by an Internet company in the right place could make access to FreeRepublic erratic and slow. He could do this on his own without orders. He could do this and get away with it.

Let's not forget than when our current Attorney General Nominee, Eric Holder, was responsible for NICS firearms database under Clinton. That database had frequent outages. Many of the outages occurred during gun show weekends. Those outages stopped as soon as the Bush administration took over.

In times like these, nothing is over the top, so to speak.
