I wish I had gotten here sooner than I did, September 22, 2004!
I learned about FR from hearing on the news [probably Fox] about the fake documents that Dan Rather was pushing as real about GW’s National Guard Service.
I kept hearing FreeRepublic and a person named “Bankhead” that proved that the documents were fake. I clicked...and 260 threads and 196,236 replies later....the rest is history!
