ANOTHER VIEW TAKES TO THE STREETS (FREE REPUBLIC GETS MENTIONED AS A RIGHT WINGED WEB SITE!)

A right wing organization..lol.

You had them on one side of the country and we had them on the other....

[smith288]

The other organizations are right-wing by name:

Christian Coalition (obvious crusaders), the Zionist Organization of America (evil jews) < /sarcasm>

FreeRepublic.com name doesnt show our extremist ideology, so they had to mention that.... But thats the media...having to detail exactly how "extreme" we are.

On the bright side, Laurie Dhue mentioned us without calling us right-wing...

Check out what this lady has written on her cheek! KEWL!

Pro-invasion demonstrator Linda La Greca shows where her sympathies lie with hand-drawn note to U.S. defense secretary on her cheek.

I didn't care for Laurie Dhue at first because to be honest I thought she was just more blonde fluff for Fox news station. But she is doing an excellent job! Kudos to you Laurie Dhue!

[NewYorker]

they started with "God Bless America" and chants of "U.S.A! U.S.A! U.S.A!"

Bunch of radicals!

[flutters]

LOL

[nicmarlo]

they started with "God Bless America" and chants of "U.S.A! U.S.A! U.S.A!"

Yeah. That sounds so INTOLERANT!!! : )

[hardhead]

Laurie has excellent lips.

[areafiftyone]

I'm a female so I have no interest! But I guess if you say so!! ;-)

[mabelkitty]

If Pro-American is Right Wing, then you can't ask for better PR for RWers everywhere.

[areafiftyone]

LOL - You wouldn't know that I was a female! But as a female I can truly say in all honesty Laurie Dhue is the prettiest one on the Fox. I wish they had a few hunks on Fox *sigh*!

Behind me a heavyset, bearded man was suddenly screaming at a middle-aged woman, "You're a bigot! That's what you are! You're a bigot!" And then he rushed her, knocking off her glasses, and started to punch her, and a cop was there, shoving the enraged man away, protecting the woman, and leading her away to safety.

"U.S.A! U.S.A! ..."

One thin young man who supported the war said to a friend, "That's just not right, man. You never hit a woman."

"Yeah, but she must've said something."

"But you don't hit a woman, man."

Cleverly worded to make it appear that a supporter of this war beat up a woman, though the reporter never states that. For all we know, the heavyset bearded man was an anti-war protestor, a hot dog vendor, or a homeless bum.

But the reporter is not interested in giving us the facts, only in planting his own biases into the mind of the reader.

(In addition, NYC police do not "shove away" men who punch women on the streets of the city. They arrest them, and probably rough them up a bit when nobody's looking.)

I'm convinced that FoxNews hires a lot of bleached blondes. Seriously. Looking closely, often they'll have the dark-root-syndrome ;-).

[areafiftyone]

The funny thing I noticed is that these girls are "bottle blonds". When Laurie Dhue was overseas reporting her hair was getting darker and darker. When Edie from Fox and Friends was pregnant (because you can't use any dyes) her hair was its natural color by the time she left to have her baby. Apparently Fox has a preference for bottle blonde reporters. But thats okay. They definitely are NOT Dumb blondes!

[longtermmemmory]

The press wants to pigeon hole FR because FR is a threat to the press. If they can marginalize and make extreme this successful forum then perhaps the mainstream media can triangulate themselves into the middle. AntiWar=left,FreeRepublic=right, so the Media=middle.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

I wish they had a few hunks on Fox *sigh*!

Shepard Smith qualifies in my book ;-).

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Dead on with your assessment.

I heard Laurie Dhue yesterday afternoon mentioning Free Republic. I was in awe that we were mentioned.
