I thought that this was a good review.

[Glenn]

Not bad!

[Focault's Pendulum]

As reviews go I'd call that a keeper.

[conservatism_IS_compassion]

I have read posts stereotyping of women and blacks a few times (which perhaps got through only because of the sheer volume of posts.)

How can you possibly consider this article fair? The only real criticism of FR in it is tempered with a simple explanation which puts it in context! Obviously a right wing puff piece!

</sarcasm>

Way to go Bart. If you're a lurker not a poster, c'mon in, the water's fine. V's wife.

[waxhaw]

Let's freep Flak Magazine! (just kidding)

[Gramps]

You can expect the usual Republican Party apparatchiks and Bushies,

"Hey honey, they mentioned me in a magazine article and again on the internet. Kewl"

[Ligeia]

Then there's TLBSHOW, king of the vanity posts; _Jim, much-hated government apologist; Michael Rivero, conspiracy hunter du jour; Inspector Harry Callahan, who believes the moon landings were faked and is FR's resident extreme right-wing wacko and Murraymom, FR's best-known and best-loved liberal gadfly.

Heads up!

[Pharmboy]

Yep, he must've hung around a while to get this much accuracy in the review. Thanks for posting.

(One question though: will Registered's head be too swelled now to get through the door?)

Good review. I wonder, though, how many freepers also check out Lucianne on a daily basis? I do because I love her comments in the beginning. Jonah much have gottne his humor from her. I also try to catch everything he writes.

Hmmm? I wonder if Barton Wong left out Hitlery on purpose?

Not a bad piece at all and very fair to boot. I especially like the paragraph about Dowd.

Thanks Barton Wong!

[WIladyconservative]

Wow! Not bad - bump for our side

[Copernicus]

It goes a long way to explain many aspects of Free Republic that have confused me in the short time I've been registered. Maybe this should be included in the Welcome Newcomers thread? Best regards,

[Caipirabob]

Ahh-hem...

WE RULE!

[f.Christian]

That a forum like FreeRepublic can survive and thrive(at a time where most political pundits say that public views of political discourse in America today has reached an all-time high in cynicism and apathy)is good news for all Americans.

The audience-wisdom-participants seem small---miniscule!

[snippy_about_it]

Nice review. Well done.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Is this a re-print? Seems like I read it several months ago..... anyway - it is a good article and nice publicity for FR

[M Kehoe]

Some people get all the press. Sheesh.

Pretty good.
Shows the diversity of opinion and beliefs.
More emphasis could have been made on the esprit de corps, in that, though we often disagree on tactics, we will muster our troops when called upon.
