Most people on Daily Kos are (painfully) aware of Free Republic, the bottomless digital repository of bigotry, authoritarianism and hatred for most other Americans, all wrapped in 90's-era HTML. Usually, sane people who stop by there to check it out, find something utterly appalling within a few minutes of browsing, and close the page, never to return. Thus, there isn't a lot of detailed knowledge of Free Republic on Daily Kos.
One important feature of the site is that it is community-supported through donation drives called "Freepathons." In 2008, Jim Robinson, the site founder, seems to have decided to purge the archives of all but the current and most-recent Freepathon threads. This is a wise decision on his part because you don't have to go back very far to see that Free Republic is struggling to meet its modest fundraising goals.
I’M unique!

I'm betting that some anonymous donations have come in from Florida and New York. Rush uses this site for show prep and he is not ungrateful. On the contrary, he is very honorable.
Huh. I remember Daily Koz. Wasn’t that the fad for scumbag lefties before Huffington? It was only a few years ago I think. I’m surprised it’s still around. Whatever.
“Jim, he’s dead.”
Be interesting if some of the Kos guys out of curiousity came over here and got educated.
Definately this person is not too bright...and I don’t think we are a skeery bunch...no doubt the libs are threatened by us, because they know they are a bunch of a$$holes..with a communist agenda that is killing this country..and we will fight them tooth and nail.
He’s very cool...Jim Rob is a really terrific guy and he’s a true patriot..
Doubt it, they are soooooo deep in their stupid crap, they would just infiltrate and make trouble...they are instigators..
Aloha, BIGLOOK!

Anyone who would attempt to rag on FR's software is an ignorant ass.
FreeRepublic has the best forum software, bar none. No indented hierarchies or other cumbersome silliness like the lefty forums inflict on their members. FR is pure streamlined elegance. If the job of a forum is to facilate communication between its members, FR wins, big time.
Oh PUHLEEZ! I have little doubt that Rush is a monthly donor here. I have absolutely NO proof that he does so, but his lurking here makes me think that in all fairness, he would be at the very least a $25/month contributor. How much do YOU send?
The percentage of his income he sends is irrelevant, HE PAYS HIS SHARE!! (IF I am correct). Snerdly, Rush, any other EIB staffer?
If they brought over the language they use over THERE, they would have been banned. Thank God.
“...all wrapped in 90’s-era HTML.”
I like artsy stuff, but nothing is more tedious to me than elaborate websites. It’s funny that Craigslist is so popular, and it’s horse-and-buggy era HTML makes FR look sleek. They’re both among the best forums of ANY kind for their ease of use (and usefulness).
He reaps the site for his news... or so I am told....
Kos guys would not, but newbies coming over there might. I hope they keep up the full toilet mouth, because that has to be alienating to a lot of people.
Since Free Republic is a strong antedote against their truth-hating koolaid, they attack Free Republic.
