When his fellow bloggers [FR is NOT a blog, maddoggit!] were accused by audience members of bias, he said that “politics has been rough and nasty well before FreeRepublic.com.”

Yeah, and most of the "rough and nasty" stuff originates from the Democrat/left/progressive side of the aisle.

Union goons (1998) beating up Don and Terri Adams...

Gore/Lieberman goons (2000) punching a 12 year old Freeper kid in the gut, at the "Get Out of Cheney's House" election protest...

Goons (2004) tearing a sign out of a little girls hands and ripping it up...

"Peace" goons Gael Murphy and Medea Benjamin (2006) slamming into my camera and me...

Assorted "peace" goons who have entered our rallies and torn signs, grabbed flags, and shoved our people around...

Heck, alll us Freepers did WRT to Ditsy Chicks' mouthing off was to comment here, dump our CDs, call our radio stations, and in some areas peacefully protest outside their concerts.

We don't beat people up. That's a characteristic of their side.

P.S. In case the DC are reading this... FUNM!

I like the way the discussion moved. Kristinn's appearance changed the tone and focus of the panel to the new media. He was asked early on what Free Republic was and does. And there was some chuckling when he mentioned he spent every weekend when Clinton was in power at the White House talking to the tourists -- it stopped when they realized he was serious about his activism. There was a lot of interest by the audience about FR and Kristinn did an outstanding job answering and stepping into the lion's den on very short notice.

Still watching the panel -- libs are so clueless, thinking its gender related -- Kristinn pointed out we are quite comfortable these days with strong women of all political persuasions.

I was a fan of their music, I still think it's great. But I'll boycott it, won't buy it, or even listen to it, not because I'm afraid of appearing supportive, but because I disagree with what they did, when they did it, and their current condescending attitude towards their former fans. And that's what people who disagree with their stand do. They boycott. Along with voting and speaking out, it's a time honored means of individuals making a statement.
