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.

Thank you. That's one part I could have explained a bit better. It did sound a bit nutty initially saying, "I go down to the White House and talk to the tourists...."

I should have mentioned the times Freepers confronted Bill Clinton in person in D.C. and around the country.

It seemed to me that the audience was focused on Free Republic as being singularly responsible for the downfall of the DCs. I did not see the movie (and don't plan on going to see it, either), so I don't know how much time was given to blaming "The Free Republic."

It's just like a liberal to blame somebody else, anybody else, for their own troubles.
