Was searching on Yahoo to find FR post on coastwatchers and found this from hughhewitt.com from 02/21/2003:

...Not much happens that isn't caught and analyzed by one of these dozen sites,and for late breaking news, keep an eye on www.freerepublic.com and www.democraticunderground.com which use their thousands of subscribers as early news alert teams. The coastwatchers at FreeRepublic.com are also a tremendous resource in the research department if you can separate the nuts from the center-right activists.

Uh, we are the center nuts.
