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

Most all of the posters seek "Anonymity" when replying to the question raised on The Conservative Voice website: Is Free Republic Biased?
Nathan Tabor, Senior Editor and webmaster, moderates this running "Topic of the Day" and everyday discussion.

One "Anonymous" poster writes: "Re: Is Free Republic Biased? Biased? 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."

Still another "Anonymous" poster writes:"Re: Is Free Republic Biased? They banned me for complaining about losing my career to outsourcing. They taunted and gloated with perverse kitty pictures, infantile cartoons, and guttural remarks that reveal their mentality.The flames fanned by their hatred are now licking at their heels."

ALIPAC also posts the subject: Conservative Website FREE REPUBLIC Mutinies over Bush Comments" and notes: "With reports coming in from around the nation of a split in the conservative base over the Bush amnesty and open borders plans, the nations most frequented conservative website erupted into a mutiny against Bush policies on Thursday. This article below elicited the response. Please take the time to read this article and the comments of many conservatives that are dismayed by Bush's statements about the Minuteman Project on FreeRepublic.com As many of you know, Free Republic had made previous efforts to control the debate by purging immigration reform users."

What seems to be a fledgling conservative based site, The Conservative Voice appears to seek readership through indexed forums dedicated to the Mother Bird herself, Free Republic. If you were wondering what happens to those little birds that fall or are kicked out of the FR nest (which I know you do not, but makes my play on words work); you might find some of them under the Free Republic Indexed forums over on The Conservative Voice.

Then you already have all of my routing information. I would come to your beautiful country to pick up the money myself. But it seems that everyone with my last name that goes to Nigeria and has some money seems to die in a tragic car accident...

All the whining about FR was amusing

Yes, I agree!

Seeing as I'm just reading the thread from top down, I'm quessing it's in reference to post #25 within this thread.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

They banned me for complaining about losing my career to outsourcing. They taunted and gloated with perverse kitty pictures, infantile cartoons, and guttural remarks that reveal their mentality.

Hello,

I needed a laugh today, that is, until my check showed up. Now, I can rest easy, knowing that my work here is appreciated. Thank you to those that pay us to Freep.

Glad to be here, planning to ask for a raise real soon, MOgirl

you will find hundreds in this forum that are pissed off at Bush because of his stance on illegal immigration

I've posted that because of Bush calling the Minutemen 'vigilantes', I've scraped the 'W' stickers off my car, torn up my Bush/Cheny 04 signs, and am using my 'Security Moms 4 Bush' T-shirt as a car rag. I haven't been suspended, so I'd say that dissent is allowed!

since the site is dominated by paid party operatives and federal employees

Well, in MY case, since I've been on the Federal payroll since mobilization, does this mean I dominate the site?

I REVEL IN MY POWER!!!!

[Michael.SF.]

Yes, but there still is hate and anger spewed out here on FR. Mention France, Europe, Jacko, Bubba, Hillary, Jimmy Carter etc etc and out it comes.

Of course, FR is not w/o sin, I do acknowledge that fact. However, the depth of hate that site (Democratic Talk radio) has for anyone who is a Republican or a Conservative is so deep, that those who do espouse those feelings could be considered to be psychologically disturbed.

Rational people can disagree and tolerate dissent, but irrational people seem to be more common in their depths.

I didn't know 7.62 x 51mm was banned here. Dang, if he's who I think he was, I liked him.

[Nita Nupress]

There will always be people who love me and people who hate me. ... I don't visit his place any more, but I'm sure he's still there, posting comments on everything I write. :o)

How do you do that, anyway? I occasionally go to the other sites just to see what's out there, and I'm never the hot topic of conversation among the AF'ers. I feel so... so.... (sniff) ... left out. :)

[Nita Nupress]

Can anyone tell me where Fred Mertz went? I miss him too. :-(

WAAAH, PEOPLE SHOULD LOOK AT MY LESS POPULAR CONSERVATIVE WEB FORUM, WAAAH!!!

[TaxRelief]

Nathan Tabor has been tossed out on his self-promoting bootie several times. He is now an anti-Freeper; green with jealousy; and pathological in his narcissitic over-reaction to rejection.

Sorry Kent, but to bastardize a Texan quote.

[Dr.Zoidberg]

Whats to worry Laz? Zoidberg will always be here for you.

In a purely hands off heterosexual sort of way, of course.

"I can't get over the fools who refuse to accept the fact that FR is a privately owned site. The owner may do with it as he pleases, and accepts us in his home out of his hospitality. He has the right to kick us out if we are rude guests."

The situation changes once you start contributing financially to the upkeep of the site.
