Flies????

Consider it a compliment. Surely he's referring to THIS kind of "flies".

[Outraged]

Within minutes, if the story is juicy enough, just like flies, freepers all over will descend on the story and give their two cents worth.

We use the grey matter between our ears and most of the rest of the world does not.

[WestCoastGal]

Yikes, ouch.

No wonder the RATS are always running around in circles screaming!!

The only place I go for the latest news is Free Republic, I want it fast, fresh and funny (when appropriate). I wouldn't have returned to the optimism I now have if I had never found Free Republic. I was all doom and gloom for the United States, my favorite line, "the fat lady is singing". I now am back at being political active, though I always voted, I now make calls, send letters, send emails, volunteer and am better informed with correct information than at any time in my right sided life.

Oh sure, they use it, but their inner nature and true character prevent them from using it efficiently, as it works best.

That's because they aren't interested unless they can make it 'all about them'. They are inward looking, instead of outwardly focussed.

"Knowing a lot" doesn't do you any good - if what you "know" ain't so.

Big Minesota Northern Alliance Bump!

Thanks for posting this Valin.

I look forward to hearing from Generalissimo Duane and compadres every Saturday - some of the best listening around.

(Are you Generalissimo Duane?) (<;

[Eagle Eye]

Ah.....thanks...

[Eagle Eye]

So?

[Seaplaner]

...this is the reason why liberals can no longer dominate the media and control the spin to suit their agenda.

Correct you are, Generalissimo! To torture a Leninist trope, one might say that we take some of the "usefulness" out of the MSM "idiots".

(Like your blog, BTW)

[WFTR]

The important point that he misses is how many Freepers are expert in some subject or another. Often, when something happens, I can find in the threads on the subject some expert who has personal experience in the issue. Sometimes, that person even knows some of the individuals in the story. Other times, while there may be no true Freeper expert posting, there is a Freeper who has followed the story or some part of the story for a long time prior to the story making news.
