I was listening to the news out of the corner of my ear when I heard FreeRepublic specifically mentioned as a "hate site" about fifteen minutes ago.
Ostensibly the long report was about the Klan using the web to recruit new wackos. Then the focus turned to Casa Maryland, and their director who claimed that calls for his murder had circulated on the internet by anti-immigrant bigots. It was then that the anchor identified FR by name as a hate site.

Whoever these folks are making the accusation that FR is a hate site, obviously, missed the fabulously entertaining, enlightening, AND educational thread several Christmases ago regarding, of all things, FRUIT CAKE!
On the other hand, it did elicit some pretty “hate filled” posts.

So you believe that threads on immigration are nothing more than hate speech?

More ‘fake but accurate news’?
The typeface in the last two screenshots occurs on FR only when one is editting a reply, post or private reply. Note also the left edge of the window
in the last screenshot: the blue border and blue background beyond seem to be the left edge of the browser window in the ‘Your Reply’ screen. (I’m looking at them now, you can see for yourself by posting a reply.)
The content seems to be something the ‘reporter’ was posting, so if it shows up on any FR thread, we have the reporter’s FR screen name (and I’ll bet it’s a new sign-up). Either that or it will never show up since the reporter didn’t hit post twice.

Freerepublic and others sites along with talk radio has successfully exposed several lies and misimforation by the main stream media, we celebrate their lose of power. These attacks are a measure of our success. The better we at exposing them the more they will lie about us. These attacks are cause for celebrating.

I know what winter in the Corpus/San Antonio is like. It was 85 degrees on Christmas Day when I lived there.YES! We'll meet you on the River Walk in mid-January. Deal? :-)
To: Junior_G
LOL! Yea the women say no, don't hate, the men say yea kick some ass! This 'hate' debate is so touchy, touchy, feely, female-ishly liberal, sensitive, emotional, hippie, love everyone, make peace not war nonsense, I can see the day when everyone will be afraid to say anything less they be outed as
"Hater!"
To: txflake
Yep, they see it coming. The figurative reinforced iron bar across the teeth, coming right their way, politically speaking. It scares them no end. So they adopt these “whining” campaigns. It is all like a well coordinated orchestra of wurlitzer organs.

“I was listening to the news out of the corner of my ear when I heard FreeRepublic specifically mentioned as a “hate site” about fifteen minutes ago.”
The announcer was probably reading the news item from a third party source such as the AP.

Only in the msm, the demonrat left, cair, and other assorted quickly becoming unknown groups am I known as a hater.....I shall wear your post, as a Badge of Honor, Thank You.
Mr. Robinson, Thank You for this Site! There is a War to Win everyone. Even the least amongst us (better known as me, myself, and I) can help America Win. What do you say folks, Let's Win One For the Gipper!

I did not take them personally while they were directed at me. Which shows how completely ignorant the hate monger is because I am pretty sure a married women can't be a fagot.
Anyway, I was asked to produce an example for a person unwilling or unable to search for themselves and as his exchange happened yesterday this is the one I sent.
Was your red herring post your declaration that there is not a lot of hate here?

LOL!
While I love the River Walk, and I love the weather, I don’t think I’ll be able to get there in Jan.
The only time I get to Texas now is to see my in-laws just south of Dallas.
We happened to be there during the three consecutive days they were dry this summer.
However, we spent two days at DFW trying to go to Mississippi.

Hate sight?.....Thats exactly how the left sees anyone who doesn’t agree with far left extremist thought...Sorry, I don’t hate anyone...I just love to make fun of and point out the extreme short comings of leftist thinking in modern society.
To: Caesar Soze
If you really think FR is a hate site, why do you post here? Are YOU a hater?

You, and a lot of other people, do not understand what "hate" means in this context.
I just love how Free Republic is full of so many experts on so many things.
You do not get to tell me what is and what is not hate. I have seen it here the past 6 months on a daily basis.
Just ask a few of our loyal and dedicated Mormon posters how they are being treated on Free Republic by some.

If you have a prolem with FR, why don’t you leave? Why make yourself and everyone around you miserable?

Hate is in the eyes of the beholder
If you say so. But calling somebody a with whom you disagree a Satanic worshiper is meant as a statement of hate.
Also, check out some of the late night threads were the gay bashers really get going feeding off each other's ignorance.

Courtesy Comment:
From the take on you words your already convinced we are a hate group, at least in your mind.
Politics is a dirty game usually played by the liberals in cesspool of their making.
The election of 2006 should have taught many that playing nice got us absolutely zero’s worth of respect from liberals and RINO's.
Some on FR want to throw sack cloth and ashes every time some liberal opens their mouth or points a finger whether true or not.
