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.
I don't.
If a veteran FReeper like me sees "hate" in some of those posts -- and I do -- then imagine how they'd be interpreted by somebody who has never seen FR before.
Part of being a grownup is harnessing your "passion" so as not to cause more trouble than you can handle. Too many FReepers have either forgotten, or never learned how to do that.
I HATE THAT
Please tell me you’re joking.
If not, look at your post. Now look under your name. There ya go.
The post you refer to I read as sarcasm. If we start labeling all opposing view, especially views opposing the MSM’s, as hate, we are playing the liberals game.
Well, I (no doubt like many others) DO hate Hillary, Schumer, Reid, Pelosi, Boxer, Feinstein, Edwards, Obama, and Kennedy and I especially hate what they do to our great nation. So I suppose there is some truth to what he said.

Do not know who the station is. CASA Maryland urged people to picket Minute Men’s homes. So, I surmise any positive posts for the minute men were hate to them and any posts against illegals are hate.
It’s all part of the vast right wing conspiracy don’t you know? This site is about as far from a “hate” site as any I have been on and that includes genealogy boards and hobby related sites. Have O’Reilly & this bozo ever even been on the internet or to this web site and read even one thread? I bet not. Anything I have ever seen on this site that was questionable in any way has lasted a very short time and the poster has received reprimands from many other posters even in the short time the post is up.
For all the gawkers who are visiting to see the hate, have I made my point?
This is actually one of the “cleanest” site on the web, and probably the main reason I frequent it.
If Freerepublic is a hate site, then what ISN’T a hate site?
Well now, this is Maryland, I think. That MAY not be the case. It may more be a “minority prejudice against the majority” kind of thing. Wasn’t something said about “Casa Maryland” (whatever that is)? It sort of implies “immigration” or “illegal alien” differences.
My Mom lecture pose kicking in lol and said with affection! ;)
True, but this’ll never get mentioned on TV. DU is disgusting.
“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.”
CASA Maryland?
NEVER HEARD OF IT!
But I guess it’s a racialist group trying to get more-than-equal rights
for the gutless Central Americans that wouldn’t stand-and-fight the
Communists and instead turned tail and ran to El Norte.
And then try to muck up this place like their legal residence
(the countries they ran away from).
(from Casa Maryland’s website)
CASA of Maryland is a community organization that was founded in
1985 by Central American refugees and North Americans. CASA was
created in response to the human needs of the thousands of Central Americans
arriving to the D.C. area after fleeing wars and civil strife in
their countries of origin.

.......but they ALWAYS get a pass from the MSM.
Probably because they’re all members....
You, too? I'm suffering unbearable psychological anguish. The damages are mounting as we speak.
I’ve been posting here for over 5 years, and I just don’t see the hate of which you speak. Yes, I’ve seen newbies show up, post things that are inappropriate, and then they are banned. But that’s about it.
Pop on over to DU, etc., and be sure to take cover as the F-bomb flies over there every hour.
And for the record, I am a grownup.
I’d love to see a list of these hate-filled examples from you or anyone, really.
