2.2% of page views of FreeRepublic originate from India, according to the Alexa website:

Now, I suppose there could be a contingent of loyal posters from India, but I strongly suspect this represents the hot houses we've all heard about of serial posters and disruptors who come out of the wood work, especially during primary season, to push a given candidate and then switch to "I'm not going to vote" mode come general.
Since there are apparently thousands of real Freepers from India, I encourage you to post here to dissuade me of what I feel certain is correct.
Who put the goat in there? The yellow goat I ate.
“I don’t see many threads about Indians here, odd.”
Exactly. I have zero against Indians being here, but 2.2/100 posters being from India strikes me as obviously a hot house.
There is zero chance there would be that many Indian posters interested in Republican politics.
I have a friend who is originally from India who’s a pretty hard-core right-winger. Always going off on rants about “those commie bastards!” back home.

It is like trying to talk to someone who learned English by reading a book that has been translated from English to Chinese and back to English again.
Do they send money? Rupees would be fine!
Please not to be accusing me of posting from India. Now, I will thank you to leave. And come again!
No those are real Trump supporters.
“New Mexico, you say.... Hummmmm”
Well, Mrs. TheThirdRuffian is an Indian, but of the Apache-I-will-f-—king-kill-you-if-you-look-at-another-woman variety.
Maybe they are programmers just checking to see when we will get that damn text thing fixed.
“Do you have a way to track where actual posts originate from, as opposed to simply views? “
Not me. I presume Jim does.
How many are from the Middle East or local mosques? Or ValJar’s staff using proxies?
Thank You, Please Post Again

India tried communism-Lite from 1950’s till about mid 80’s and they only began to grow rapidly once they decided to toss many aspects of that system away.
Don’t forget Dinesh D’souza left India in the 1970’s and I think he worked in the Reagan admin!
Maybe a fee expats just do a lot of clicking?
My VPN server is in Mumbai India.
Forget the Indians, I wonder how many posts originate in Russia?
I wonder who’s paying them? Possibly the same people who call and tell me I need credit card protection 3 or 4 times a week or those who start out, “This is not a sales call.”
“I don’t see many threads about Indians here, odd.”
Casino or Tech Support?
“I have a friend who is originally from India who’s a pretty hard-core right-winger. Always going off on rants about “those commie bastards!†back home.”
Yeah, but he doesn’t have an Indian IP.
