The Conservative Voice Forum Index Asks: "Is Free Republic Biased?"
16 April 2005 | | fight_truth_decay

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.

Buttsex3 ..#260 pulled after some delay

ahhh..we must not ban all posts..is this a token post to show we are fair and open minded lol!! Good thing I had breakfast already. Graphic showed " diarrhea (relative to the poster's name) to the mouth" in case anyone questions the post #260.

However, the Bold faced hate/racist terms used against certain individuals including myself, FreeRepublic, Jews, trueblackman, and others ,etc are a prime example of ignorance on the part of Buttsex3 and why the post got pulled after a slight delay.
Buttsex3, don't feel slighted, I for one got to enjoy your psychotic behavior..feel better now? ;)

Howlin, you're the poster child of paid Freepers. I've heard about your million dollar house and your fleet of Hummers, all paid for by the White House.

Why on earth do you need FOUR Hummers??

That's a pretty good question. Let me know if you get an answer.

Wait a minute, we're supposed to be paid? LOL. I am not, and have never been in league with the Bush' regime. I voted for him twice. I do not (for the most part) regret that. I would love to have a nice ong chat with him about the border issues but to call those of us on here basically republican operatives is foolish at best. I consider myself conservative before republican.

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.

If this is the guy I am thinking of he did more then complain, he out right whined at high volume.

"neoconservative cabal"

Only a liberal would put those two words together. No wonder he didn't like it here, it's like Texas for an Eskimo, or the Arctic for a Southern Californian.

put together a forum dedicated to complaining about me

You know, it's customary to provide a link to any sites we may find useful. :-)

Nathan Tabor seems to be annoyed at several things:

(1) He lost the election for the NC 5 seat to Congress. Never mind that he had zero experience and pretends to be qualified merely by being "Conservative."

(2) He signed up on this site for one reason: he thought that by espousing Conservative ideals that he'd win the support of us in the NC 5th. However, he found that we are a tough lot out here. We ask tough questions and we don't simply roll over for every fresh face that has an "R" in back of their names. And it was pretty evident that he was trying to use us. And thus...

(3) He got banned. Multiple times, IIRC.

So now, in an effort to remind people that he still exists, he's finding things to write about in the hopes (presumably) that Virginia Foxx will either die in office or otherwise retire so that he can get another shot at this seat.

So with that, tarheels, keep watch: young Nate ain't goin' away quietly.

Thanks for the NC ping.

Re: Is Free Republic Biased?

Free Republic is not biased, it is confused. There are many good conservative Americans there. The owner is biased on some issues, such as Illegal immigration and the Minute Men Project. He’s for the former and against the later, just as Grover Norquist is.

90% of the forum supports the MMP and he is now in a quandary, because he can’t ban them all or even allow them to know how he feels at this point. Instead he allows/condones half a dozen long held self admitted liberal disruptors, Harrowup, ClintonBeGone, Dane, bayourod, etc. to attempt to run off the opposition with lies, race baiting, slander while holding to the one principle that keeps the forum alive, that being most posters won’t bother to find out the facts, they’ll just follow the leader having no idea where he’s going.

Immigration threads are often stuffed in the smoky back room to try to keep their exposure at a minimum when they are not deleted. In his own words:
This thread has been pulled.

...lies, race baiting, slander? Rather, I would say we had a rather long, lively, and interesting discussion. I reference: "Costs of Illegal Immigration to Texans[Senators Threaten Immigration Amendments to War Bill].As far as MMP discussions, I have participated in many and the room was neither smoky nor in the back. I reference another of many: Minutemen find signs of border-crossers-Locals estimate illegal entries at 30,000 per month

Let's face it how much can one really say about immigration and our borders without becoming redundant. Twas the same with the Schrivo scenario; you are either on one side or on the other; and perhaps vacillating in the middle. Makes for great debate and fact checking. Posters just cannot take it personally--so much for the leap to whining over on TCV.

As someone once said , "if you can't stand the heat, get out of the fire". Good advice.

However, in the early going, Jim and the mods made some serious mistakes regarding ALIPAC and the Minuteman Project. They tied ALIPAC and MMP to organizations like Storm Front solely on the basis that those organizations approved of parts of ALIPAC's and MMP's message.

They're interchangeable. The titles are different, but the people that make up their membership is the same. ALIPAC is a particularly vile swamp.

That is an outright lie and you know it. Unless you can offer up some proof of that claim pretty quickly, I suggest you retract it forthwith.

ALIPAC is a particularly vile swamp.

You represent the worst of this discussion in every aspect. Your undying admiration for the fascist Vicente Fox and his underhanded coup attempts on US sovereignty are nauseating in the extreme. Americans who are sick of the millions of illegals who thumb their noses at out laws and our society are not all racists or bigots. Your continued attempts to lump them together with every crackpot fringe organization is now completely transparent. You are a vile, bigoted troll and your stubborn, antagonistic stupidity on this subject has become very tiresome.

Check the FR bashing headlines which makes up a major portion of their site and tell me it does not have an identical total format to TCV. That webmaster needs to get more creative. The door may have a different address; but the same folks live inside.

You need to re-read the post from ClintonBeGone.

He compared ALIPAC to Storm Front, a white supremacist organization. Your response is non-sequitur.

You are unhappy with the fact that ALIPAC and TCV both bash FR. I agree that is unfortunate, but that is where their similarity ends. TCV is Nathan Tabor's own little fan-club page dedicated to his ego alone. ALIPAC is a lobbying effort to get legislators to pay attention to the issue of illegal immigration. To generalize them together simply because they both have bashed FR is ridiculous.
