The Associated Press has picked up the Fresno Bee article published last week without editing it, as far as I can tell.

Congrats, Jim!

Congrats Jim. Get the kitties on alert for the incoming trolls.

[DTogo]

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!!

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.”

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

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.

Horray!!!! Horray!!!!
This is by far the best conservative spot anywhere!
I think Free Republic IS NUMBER ONE though!!
Polly.... who has been here since 2000

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 experts

Yet 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.

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.

[RegulatorCountry]

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.

Count down to new trolls 10.... 9.... 8.... 7

Congratulations Jim! And Thank You!

[wolfcreek]

Now, if we can just keep it up and running. *8>)

[mainerforglobalwarming]

FR’s the best site on the web, and provides me with free therapy in these troubled times. God bless Jim!

'Many of its postings have a decidedly fringe feel.'

Who, me? SADDLE UP!

[bert]

John Who? was he born day before yesterday?

[Falconspeed]

Bravo, Jim. This is the home for people who spot a problem, carefully look at options and then quickly promote the best solution.

When the Somali pirates started taking boats, I turned to FR to find possible solutions and then found the best solution: allow the U.S. Navy to do its job.

[NCBraveheart]

This means we are on the Obama “enemies list”

[Ditto]

Hummm? No mention of Rathergate.

[Yaelle]

Fringed and ready.
