The Conservative Voice does, however run some interesting articles. My intent is not to cast stones at their website.

I just found it interesting that the FR Index question popped up as I was finding my way around the site.

And who is this Laz? ( asked about in the FR discussion forums on TCV).

(My Note: it seems much easier to read the whole body of comments on 1-2 pages without registration.)

The Moderator on TCV also has the power to "Lock a Topic" or consider it "Sticky".

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?

And who is this Laz?

Prolific FReeper Lazamataz no doubt.

I can answer the bias question easily.

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.

Its like calling the kettle black. I'm anti-illegal immigration and have blasted Bush's indifference towards keeping our country safe here on Free Republic and haven't been banned yet. The fact I don't subscribe to every single one of the President's policies doesn't mean I'm not a conservative. Where I disagree with the Administration, rest assured I do so for different reasons than that advanced by the RINOs.

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.

But seriously now, who is "ALIPAC?" I've seen threads on this person, but can never figure out what's going on.

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

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

I'm scared now.

Yeah, That thread is just loaded with "comment removed by moderator" /sarc

[BenLurkin]

"They taunted and gloated with perverse kitty pictures . . ."

Viking kittens perhaps?

[dighton]

They taunted and gloated with perverse kitty pictures ...

Now accepting bids for tagline rights.

[Colonel_Flagg]

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!

[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."

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

[BibChr]

Thirty seconds isn't enough to judge a site, BUT -- I clicked under "Is Jeff Gannon wrong or right?", and just the first burst of postings indicated there seems to be no conservative control there whatever. If I want to see liberal hatevomit, I can go anywhere. I'm happy for SOME controls, and SOME Viking Kitty patrolling, or we'd be completely overwhelmed.

But I could get going on the lack of even-handedness in some areas, here at FR.

Made me do it.
