Yep, I used to have a lot of respect for that site when it concentrated on getting facts out about the Travon Martin case, but now that it has become a surrogate site for partisan mud slinging and worse, I there is no more respect. But there is a contingent around here who post from that blog as it it is the word come down from on high. Free Republic ought to be something more than a repeater station for the Conservative Treehouse’s slander machine.

I suppose I don’t have much longer before I’m gone, too; either voluntarily or by being kicked off for refusing to worship at the Trumpite altar. It’s been a great 17 years, but like all good things, it may have to come to an end.

Exactly where I am at.

To be fair, i've noticed a few other sites who have become way too partisan. "Gateway Pundit", for example.

I'm thinking that if enough people voice dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs, perhaps management will intervene to put a damper on some of this ugly mud slinging at the candidates?

By all ethical means, people, support your candidates, but do not give in to vile gossipmongering!

Noted....I doubt you’re alone in what you’ve stated. Even taking some breathers from the site now and then doesn’t help much as it’s like stepping back into a mud no matter how civil you try to be, the vile spews until that’s all there is from one post to another.
