If anything, this is very unfair and obviously the writer is a liar. If he stuck around long enough, he would know the Mods (and many other Freepers) immediately pounce on tinfoil hat/CRF conspiracy "Eisenhower was a communist", or racist posts here on FR. They are often, right away, banned into oblivion. That is one things the mods and so many Freepers will not accept nor tolerate, especially the racist crap (liberal sites bashing Condoleeze Rice, for example, with racism from the left are much more blatant, IMHO).
So, as I have said, the writer is a liar. This is someone who wrote an article making up his mind before he even wrote it.
BTW I feel so famous now that one of my replies finally made Creative Loafing! The only thing better would be if John 'I hate the chimp' Sugg himself started bashing me.
