Congratulations to you and the Fresno Freepers. A "WIN" for the good guys and a good start for the new year.

[OXENinFLA]

DU is having a conniption fit over this. Ain't it great!

[RockyMtnMan]

Congratulations! Nothing like receiving an entire qtr's revenue/donations all at once! (or close to it after taxes)

"They were totally out of control," Robinson said. "They need to get some adults over there."

The same can be said for a lot of our legistative branches.

And some of you folks want tort reform.

"It's not in any way admitting any liability by any party," Montoy said.

Bullscheist!

[Wheee The People]

Sweeeeeeet!

I am glad to hear it.

I hope this sends a message to government officials that the definition of "hate group" is not Conservatives and patriots, and that just because a liberal HATES the idea of Conservatives getting together, that does not mean they can use their government position for tax supported "smoke and mirrors".

Another victory for the "just because you say it , doesn't make it true" files.

Ya gotta hate it when you have a windfall of money!!!

This is a banner day! I'm sorry the real culprits do not suffer more. I'm sure this will not cause any real outrage from the citizens of Fresno (as it should).

I'll console myself knowing the foul-mouthed wretches on that other site must be wallowing in the pond scum with their mass anger. I'm sure the "Kerry Word" is flying out like bats at sunset.

"Hate" is such a strong emotion. It is almost always used as a label for those that do not hate by those that do.

I entered "Debbie Reyes" in the search dialog of the Fresno Bee website.

The results may be seen here.

You know, sixty grand would pay for a lot of beer.

"Fresno will pay $60,000 to forum' City to retract release calling Free Republic a 'hate group. "

In their mind they are supporting a hate group by paying the money.

[SerpentDove]

WOOHOO!!!!

[Billthedrill]

Robinson said he plans to use the settlement money to travel across the country in a motor home visiting Free Republic chapters.

Par-TAYYYYY!!!!!!!!

[steveegg]

Thank you, City of Fresno. $60,000 (though you guys should've said "We're sorry" far earlier).

[metesky]

Robinson said he plans to use the settlement money to travel across the country in a motor home visiting Free Republic chapters. He will end the trip in Washington, D.C.

Hey Jim, if you're planning on visiting us Mainiacs, I'd hold off until ice out July 1st, if I were you.

Personally, I'd suggest . . .

get a plush mobile home or indoor swimming pool.

I suppose we could suggest something disciplined and rationale like extra funding for targeted election year pushes in key states with posters and specific docs outlining election fraud; Shrillery's treason etc . . .

Perhaps we could hire some private eye to pry loose Shrillery's commie thesis.

But a lot of my heart would rather Jim bought a swimming pool or some such.

I do recognize that political action is more what we're about but I think he's earned whatever goodies he'd desire--for him, his family and John and his family.

[evets]

See ya!

This is George Bush's fault.
