Re: The recent hypocritical liberal media criticism of Free Republic
Thread ^ | July 11, 2009 | Jim Robinson

Not only can’t they get the name right, they don’t have their facts straight. And they have no idea about Free Republic and the FReepers!

The FReepers are the absolute best posters on the Internet, bar none!

And the FReepers have made Free Republic the number one conservative site on the Internet and in the world for 13 years running!

Thirteen years! Three hundred thousand members! Thirty million posts!!

And all of this on a shoestring budget! No star glittered IPOs or stock offerings! No commercial sponsors or advertising contracts of any kind! No sugar daddies! No BIG Bucks donors! No advertising of any kind!

We operate on a shoestring budget with funding provided solely by our readers and participants. All those $10, $20, $50 dollar donations made by our FReepers and Lurkers are all we need to maintain and keep Free Republic on the air and kicking liberal butt! We strive to meet our costs but make no attempt to profit otherwise.

FReepers are the GReatest!!

I’ll put you guys up post for post, dollar per dollar, man to man, brain cell to brain cell against any other political forum on the Internet and you will shine through magnificently! No other political forum, no other group of citizen patriots can hold a candle to the FReepers!!

Our members have exposed more fraud, uncovered more hoaxes, shined the light on more corruption, impeached more horn dog presidents than any other political Internet forum in the world!

And that’s a fact, Jack!

DailyKOs, MoveOn, DU, HuffingtonPost, et al, simply pump smoke, hump rumps and wish they could be as effective as FR!

FReepers Rock!!

Oh, yeah. The liberals can dish it out but they sure can't take it. Well, you know what my old crop dusting brother-in-law used to say before he cracked up:

FReep 'em if they can't take a joke!!

Jim, I have to say if I need a question researched or an answer, Freepers usually come up with not one, but a dozen sources in less than 20 minutes. Almost any of us who have posted here for over 5 years know that you can't get away with anything---that someone is actually in the profession or line of work or endeavor of science that you are commenting on and will call you on it instantly.

Course, if you write off the cuff as I frequently do, that can be a problem . . . .

I’ve become more aware, more active, more informed and I have met people in this forum that are second to none...

Every single day, every sleepless night, every time I should maybe be doing something else, I find myself logging in...

I dare someone to try and silence this place...They will never, ever, be that unhappy again...

Besides, I need a place where some can poke fun at me...

I’m a sucker for abuse...

By the way, our compatriots at Free Dominion are watching this and they suspect deliberate trolling to make us look bad, which I’m inclined to agree with:

http://www.freedominion.com.pa/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=120656
“Since it is not a secret that Free Dominion spun off from Free Republic, and, since the guilt-by-association smear is a favourite tactic of our opponents, it would make sense for them to attack FR as a way of getting to us. I guess it just troubles me that it was a Canadian paper going after them.”

It’s still a free country (sorta) so you can do whatever you want.

The “radio actor” is only the LEADER OF THE CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT in America.

Of course, if you’re not conservative I can see why it wouldn’t interest you .. you’re too close-minded.

It's cute how you believe the advertising.

Hint: It's a radio show.

Thanks to you Jim, you started Free Republic and we came running. I just wish I had found Free Republic sooner!

We Florida Freepers will be looking forward to seeing you in DC along with Freepers from across the US. What a great National Freeper Convention it will be! :)

Well guy. I don’t listen to Limbaugh either. FR is my news source. I’m glad that you like him, and I used to listen before there was FR, but not anymore. Not everyone that is conservative does.

Leftist tritors at DUmmie Underground and other sewers and the traitor Leftist media.

We are going to do to 0bama what you did to Bush for 8 years times ten!

We are taking the game up a notch. 0bama is a traitor and needs to be impeached and convicted in the Seante and removed from office. Or resign. either one.

And no Web 2.0 doodads to make FR an unbearable experience, either! Thanks for keeping it simple, fast, and usable.

I think we find FR when we’re ready, as it’s not for the faint of heart:)

God Bless you Jim, and thank you for this labor of love. IMHO Free Republic succeeds because of the integrity, intelligence and accountability of its members.

FR does keep us honest, doesn't it?

I gave Rush a second shot as a subscriber. His show is dreadfully boring. It has turned into one boring economic seminar with statistics furnished by the Heritage foundation. The in-program commercials are the pits. I just cancelled.

Other shows are just as bad. Talk-radio is so afraid of the Fairness Doctrine and being accused of racism that they are boring and predictable. Savage talks about cooking and his dog and bullfighting.

At least on FR, we talk about most everything.

On FR we aren’t spoon fed info. We read what we want on a variety of subjects and are challenged to think by other posters. That’s what it’s all about.
