The Conservative Voice Forum Index Asks: "Is Free Republic Biased?"

Yes. We don't like liberals, as a rule.

[blinachka]

Well, since the site is dominated by paid party operatives and federal employees who allow no dissent from the Bush regime's latest political propaganda releases, you could say that it's more a solid, one way amen corner for the neoconservative cabal than a biased website."

Damn! Where's MY check?? (hehe)

[Bommer]

Is Free Republic Biased? Biased? Well, since the site is dominated by paid party operatives and federal employees...

Boy, I'm sure glad DNC Underground isn't operating this way!

"Of course it's biased. It's no different from any other enterprise that wishes to control its own private property. What's your point?"

[Does Free Republic and Jim Robinson ban those who disagree with them? asks The Conservative Voice.]

No reason to shoot the messenger; good to know what's 'out there' re Free Republic. . .

"lazamataz is something of a joker
lazamataz is such a retard"
lazamataz is hot
lazamataz is as decent
lazamataz is not a moderator
lazamataz is correct on the new authority that has been put in the hands of reno"

I dunno about the rest of this, but line 2 tells me some chick thinks you are hot, so I say check it out!!

[LibertarianInExile]

Correction:

where it says "purging immigration reform users" read "banning Stormfront members."

and where it says "They taunted and gloated with perverse kitty pictures, infantile cartoons, and guttural remarks that reveal their mentality." read "I was a big liberal whiner that the viking kitties attacked."

Simply look at any thread that concerns drug legalization, border control or religion and you will find some pretty spirited arguments. People who agree don't fight over the issues.

Agreed. Also look at all the Schiavo and Magouirk threads to see the level of discussion. Yes, the "pro-life" folks greatly outnumber the "pro-rule of law" group in these threads, but outside of "beyond the pale" remarks fit only for DU, the moderators have been very fair and open to both sides. Free Republic would not be the preeminent site it is today, if opposing viewpoints weren't permitted.

I've got your paychecks over here - if you'll just send me all your bank account information - account number, routing number and the like, I'll be happy to deposit them immediately. Right now, it's a total of about 115 million dollars. It'll take a few days, seeing how it's Saturday, and I'll have to route the money from the Central National Bank of Nigeria...

[Lazamataz]

I am a hot decent moderator retard joker.

[international american]

Line 3 that is.....putting on dunce cap........

[Lazamataz]

The Conservative Voice Forum Index Asks: "Is Free Republic Biased?"

The Free Republic Forum Asks: "Does the Conservative Voice Need to Get a Life?"

[international american]

That still might be good enough for her!

[Sicon]

It's like asking if NPR, The New York Times, The Washington Post and CNN are biased?

Actually, it isn't. All of those entities you cite present themselves as "objective" "news" organizations (except maybe NPR). And therein lies the problem. FreeRepublic is a discussion forum. The question of whether or not it is biased is meaningless.

[Drango]

the site is dominated by paid party operatives

Darn it! How come I never get paid for posting?

[Steel Wolf]

Really? How come I'm not getting paid like the rest of you guys?

You need to submit at VRCW Form 50-4-W.2 in triplicate with the Office of Kickbacks, Payoffs and Graft. The OKPG is funded through Haliburton subsidies, so there's more than enough gravy to go around. Stop FReeping on the cheap, sign up today.

(In addition to the normal pay, new applicants are given a complimentary T-shirt (only available in 'digital brown').)

The fact I don't subscribe to every single one of the President's policies doesn't mean I'm not a conservative.

True. But that's backwards. If anyone DOES subscribe to every single one--or most--of the President's policies, that person is NOT as conservative, because the President is not.

[Lazamataz]

I'm looking for a woman who will settle.
