Forgive my ignorance, but I don’t see why Google Analytics would know anything about traffic coming to your site from FR. I searched for the site name you mentioned at Google using FR as the source and this thread was the second result.

It is their job to know what traffic is coming to their clients' sites, and from where. It is precisely in order to learn such information that Web sites sign up for Google Analytics accounts in the first place.

The page I reproduced above from Google Analytics claims to show from what sites BadEagle.com received traffic between January 11 and February 10, 2009. However, the information it presents is wrong, because it ignores the traffic which BadEagle received from FreeRepublic during that time period.
