We are not a blog. If we were a blog, the articles would all come from Jim. We are a forum.

Actually not a bad article. But in the search for FR’s notability surrounding high-profile events, it should have included exposing the fake Rather memos.

Huh? I guess I’ll take that as a compliment, considering what the media defines as “mainstream.”

Yeah they always say “blogosphere” without ever really knowing the difference between a “blog” and a “message board” and whatever else happens to be out there. There’s a lot of clueless people out there.
To: kristinn; Jim Robinson
Horray!!!! Horray!!!!
This is by far the best conservative spot anywhere!
I think Free Republic IS NUMBER ONE though!!

They say that like it's a bad thing.

Free Republic, founded by Robinson in September 1996, doesn't attract much attention from the national press and is not well-known among political expertsYet no political hack worth his or her salt doesn't monitor FR daily.

Welcome to the edge of tomorrow. Christ and our Founding Fathers were fringe in their day too.
To: kristinn; Jim Robinson
Awesome site, awesome job from all on FR. They made a few digs in the article, but all in all it was ok. I suppose considering the election results, we are a fringe group......oh, well, that can change.

Drudge is an old-style news aggregator, with no feedback mechanism for readers that I am aware. Politico and RCP are blogs. Not sure how to categorize Puff Ho. Free Republic is a forum in the old bbs tradition, the granddaddy of them all. Long may it prosper.
To: kristinn
Count down to new trolls 10.... 9.... 8.... 7
Congratulations Jim! And Thank You!

Except for vanities, our threads mostly come from news sites, with plenty of AP posts.
But, at least it’s nice the AP admits their stuff is made up.
