I have every idea that picture was stolen from my web site:

Dtogo took this pic in Stamford, and I hosted it for him. To the best of my knowledge it only appears in wastedyears' AAR here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1778669/posts

No one asked me for permission to edit and use the photo.

On the other hand, maybe they quoted Diane and Carolyn accurately...maybe.

Unusually even-handed coverage of FR, I think.

Dtogo - anyone ask you for permission to use your photo? I credited you in the original AAR.

nothing gets him angrier than people who came out to protest against him

The left does not tolerate dissent.

read it again, they are trying to tie us to Vandalism and gestapo like tactics.

Note they didn't quote a single Freeper, but they did quote a bunch of war protesters.

A rather sensible article, and the quotes from Diane sound just like what she's said to us.

Of course, in describing the "anti-war" side, they don't mention the men in tutus and other bizarrities ...

Diane Fanning is a FReeper, as was her late husband.

And for this quiet 60-year-old, nothing gets him angrier than people who came out to protest against him and behave in a manner that he believes to be disrespectful.

In case anyone missed it, this is proof in writing that liberals believe that they are the only ones who have the right to be heard.

I missed that, it was buried in the article.

Still to describe acts of vandalism and threats just before launching into segment about the Free Republic and it's members is an obvious attack intended to let the reader into believe that Freepers are behind those attacks.

Both camps say soldiers are the real victims and both groups deny being antimilitary or anti-American.

Freepers are never accused of being anti-military or anti-American.....and, thusly, don't need to deny it.

Freakin' "peace" weenies that call for the Victory of the Iraqi Resistance or for soldiers to shoot their commanders or to desert their unit or refuse deployment....are the ones needing to deny it, but I can see right through 'em, just like I can see that the UJP fall under the umbrella of the Worker's World Party....a nice group of Comrades.

Any reason why this was removed from Activism/Chapters sidebar?

I didn't get that from the sequencing in the article, but it could have been intended.

Good question. If this doesn't qualify, I don't know what does.

If it wasn't intentional then Freepers would have been in the first paragraphs instead of immediately after allegations of abuses by "pro war" types, I'm not pro war, I'm anti surrender.

Oh, and did the "military wife" report these alleged incidents of vandalism and terror to her local police? Hell, I can march into any meeting and say I'm the wife of a soldier in Iraq and here's what happened to me. Doesn't make it so.
