Cool.


Mod update.
Ordinary Americans have dragged slowly but surely other big institutions to the truth. The big institutions were the last to arrive at the truth and some of them to this moment are still not there.

Now I realize that within this new alternative media there exists some jealosy,. I sense that some people don’t want to give the blogosphere the full credit. They have to parcel it out because every body wants a piece of the action; this is quite normal, this is human nature. The fact of the matter is that it was the blogosphere and it was a couple of sites: Powerline and FreeRepublic. And FreeRepublic has been one of the most impugned blogs / websites in the history of websites by the very institution that has been brought down.

When Dan Rather talked about partisan political operatives, he means those who lurk at FreeRepublic. Who is FreeRepublic, it’s ordinary Americans – liberals look down at ordinary Americans, don’t know have enough decision making power, [?] do the right thing, not smart enough …

You don’t know how much it grates on them at CBS that its something like FreeRepublic or one of their chat rooms or one of the FReepers there or the Powerline … you have no idea that it irritates them that that kind of person brought them down. An average, ordinary untrained journalist that … you just do not know how this irritates them inside. More than the fact that they got caught, it’s who caught them that irritates them.

And, so just as I started out … I was a fad, and I was a liar, and I made it up and I was bad for America and I posed threats to democracy, as the cover of Time said. So now the same things are being said about the bloggers. Fox news has had its turn and we all continue rotating in the criticism carousel of the left.

Even mentioned Freepers. Said we were scum of the earth to the elite media.

The feeling is mutual...

It's helping to police the threads for these cretinous people who would simply post something, burn JimRob's bandwidth, and who would waste our time and talents responding uselessly and in vain.

Trolls are part of a conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids

Keith Olbermann is the DUmmies favorite person on earth.

Doesn't that tell you all you need to know!

Thanks ... there is a lot more before the segment we captured but I'll wait for Rush's people to do the full transcript. It will be worth a read.

I am Freeper of Irish descent. I like to watch those crazy Irish dancers who dance with their arms flat against their body and only their feet moving. Aren't they called "Cloggers"? Sometimes I also jog. And, I'd love to live in the lumber states - the beautiful Northwest.

Does that mean I could be a "blogger jogger who cloggers with loggers" ??

In the last minute of the interview, while Olberman showed Free Republic.com on the TV screen, O'Brien said, "Free Republic is a radical web site."

Well, maybe she meant "radical" in the GOOD sense!

"This country owes a lot to him [Rush}"

That cannot be legitimately denied. The future will bear that out even more clearly. No one has been more effective in bringing the left to its knees.

I always think any well informed, well spoken person calling in to Rush, C-Span, or Fox is a Freeper. I always wonder which one of our excellent posters that person might be. Sometimes we have found out who it was later. They'll say..."did you hear me? That was me calling in to Fox & Friends this a.m."

FreeRepublic is just fabulous.

No, that would be just plan RAD.

"I worry about scaring some really great people away .."

Fear not. "really great people" have thick skins, don't care what others think of them, and are incapable of being "scared" off".
