He must spent all his time tracking all the threads here....

[BlessedByLiberty]

Exactly.

Let's boil down what he said: Hey don't go over to that (Free Republic) free site where the nut jobs are, come on over to my forum where you can pay for the privilege of posting.

Do you think he allows criticisms from his forum posters or is it a place one pays to idolize the host?

[hoosiermama]

That is not good advertisement for Sean's sight....WOnder if he has a way of banning "problem" posters? He might find after walking a while in the shoes, that running a place like FR is not easy. A little bit more respect for the job JR has done will be the results.

[airborne]

I think you're right. Look at the number of folks here who do not know FR history regarding the cited former FReepers

Well, we sure are getting a pretty good education today. This is fascinating!

[demlosers]

Sort of; it's been 'Shopped.

Yeah, but it depicts his clownish essence.

[deport]

I like this one better....

Is it?
The walk down memory lane...
I reckon it has its pluses.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Oh no!

[cyncooper]

He says the reason why he said what he did was because of comments (attacks) made about Connie Hair, Lucianne, Drudge and Rush

When? Five or six years ago?

He doesn't like the attacks

So he attacked FR.

I'm not angry or mad at Sean. He's nice and I like him. I don't get all worked up over this but it IS interesting and I had to wonder why he drags up all that old news. Trixie is rememered fondly and if Connie would get a grip, so would she. Drudge and Rush have huge fan followings here in addition to their critics.

We all get flamed here and if we're able we may get our backs up but sometimes there's some constructive criticism in those flames and we can emerge the better for it.

[airborne]

I have been kicked around here a few times, but there's no way I would tuck my tail and run.

I get more information reading FR than I get watching Hannity & Colmes.

That's the TARD we all know and love!

Kicked around here?
You?
Not by me I hope.

[BlessedByLiberty]

"...but sometimes there's some constructive criticism in those flames and we can emerge the better for it."

Apparently Mr. Hannity does not like criticism of any sort. Why else continue digging that negative vein?

The old saying, "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer" is brought to mind. He forgot the 'keep your friends close' part.

[prairiebreeze]

I agree RK. I was offended by Seans remarks because I know how much I value this forum and most of the people that participate in it. Their hard work is important, our insights and research has been critical to some very big happenings of late. To lump all freepers together as those "who eat their own" was a cheap shot from Hannity. And remember, this was NOT the first time he's said that on his show. Nobody forced him to leave FR, it was his choice. Perhaps he's forgotten that.

I personally don't listen to his show due to time conflicts but watched H&C with some regularity. That's changed at this point.

[Howlin]

OMG......I am dying here..........LOL............that is so funny!

[CyberAnt]

Thank you! Took the words right out of my mouth.

[Mr. Silverback]

"all the best Freepers have left"

That can't be true. I'm still here, and so are you, Howlin. ;-)

******OFF TOPIC**** Dom G is on the radio discussing the Bill Cosby

DA Bruce Castor DECLINES to file charges against Bill Cosby

There is NOT enough evidence

[prairiebreeze]

If you had a radio show and you enjoyed FR for your show prep, how long would you remain a member if each time you logged on, it said "A Citizen Reporter" is like a stupid man's Rush, or "A Citizen Reporter" can't find his behind with a flashlight and a map."?

After feeling stung, I might consider it feedback and try to improve my knowlege. Especially if I was calling myself a professional radio host. If that improved the comments I read here, (realizing that nobody can ever please everybody) I'd call it a lesson well learned. It occurs to me that a media person has probably seen MUCH more bare fangs in that cut-throat profession than they'd ever see on FR. So Sean's criticism of FR rings pretty hollow in a lot of ways.
