Very well said and I concur 100% with your analysis. Yes, there have been episodic events of racism here on Free Republic. But in every single case -- without exception -- they have been traced back to liberal infiltrators who have quickly been ushered out of this forum. Noteworthy was the summer 2009 thread when hussein (at taxpayer expense) took his "family" to France. Leftists sullied the reputation of Free Republic with remarks similar to those of the DemonRAT organization, the Ku Klux Klan. That thread was quickly pulled by the fast-acting moderators once it became apparent that an organized astroturf campaign was underway in an attempt to sully the good name of Free Republic.
And of course, the boss sees to it that every poster must adhere to his clearly stated policy and unambiguous words:
NO profanity, NO personal attacks, NO racism or violence in posts.
Getting butthurt over contentious debates in the RF or over folks expressing their disdain for hispanics being the largest by percentages, perpetrators of ILLEGAL immigration is one thing.
But to go around and accuse FReepers in general of being racist and anti-Catholic because of that butthurt is another thing altogether.
