Nope. FR still gets a couple of hits from content keywords alone, just like the other sites. And if you want hits only from FR, do like the following.

keywords here site:freerepublic.com

Of course FreeRepublic gets plenty of incoming traffic from Google and everywhere else. There can be no question about that.

I am talking here about outgoing traffic. When FreeRepublic links to other Web sites, does Google keep proper track of the traffic those Web sites are receiving from FreeRepublic?

Our experience suggests that it does not -- at least not in all cases.
