Well, well, well. And yet another anti-Freeper site springs up:

We must be doing something right to have so many Bush haters hating us so much.

Well, we wish you luck. You'll have plenty of competition from FR haters.

[mabelkitty]

Awesome!

Good job!

My "end of the day" conversation with husband always has at least one, "I read on Free Republic today..."

Thanks for the safe haven!

[jriemer]

Alright, newbie! What are you doing posting this drivel in a vanity? You know the owner of this site doesn't like this garbage posted on his site. Get ready to be zotted, pal!

I'll just go ping JimRob . . . right . . . now . . .

. . . nevermind.

ROTFL!!!

[thepainster]

Great. Another place for people who spent most of their high school years stuffed in lockers and sporting high-torque wedgies

Best laugh I had all day! Can't help but thinking about George "Cantstandya" getting hit with and atomic wedgie from his high school gym teacher........

[cyncooper]

I'm seen all sorts of question of Dubya on this forum. Most recently concerning the assault weapons ban.

Those who pose serious questions and are able to discuss appropriately are not banned. He's talking about throwing out an accusation and sticking by it no matter what facts are presented to refute the claim, then crying about being slammed and "not being able to ask questions".

I just knew it was gonna be another sentryoveramerica style site.

Complete with pop-ups.

I have become a bit of a masochist....I enjoy watching other folks get pissed off.

[NeoCaveman]

And here I went sending that in FRmail cuz I didn't think you'd want me to link it. It is after all a testament to the intellectual elite that post over there....

[Howlin]

Hey, why didn't you tell anybody you were getting up a GANG? Some of might want to join.

Be nice and you can be on The List. :-)

One such dissenter was Christopher Knight, who also found himself out in the cold recently for not loving the "cokehead felon". This time the reason Jim gave wasn't "Saddam apologist" but instead "Liberal". Which he isn't, unlike Robinson who used to be a registered Democrat.

You banned Bobby Brady?!?!?!? Shock! Awe! I'm telling Alice!

[dirtboy]

But please do not question the current administration.

That's a whiny lie if I ever saw one. I question the Bush Administration on a regular basis, most recently their decision to try and eliminate the sunset provisions on the Patriot Act (something many freepers have opposed on this site).

[Timesink]

Others should suck as bad as we do....

Are there any AF sites dedicated to "independent thought and open debate" (since such things are, as this new site puts it, "no longer permissable at Free Republic", where the "independent thought and open debate" consists of anything besides FR-bashing, Rivero-level kook talk and, often, open anti-Semitism?

[Timesink]

The following is the Free Republic Sucks Forum:

Coming Soon!

FRS will be running in test mode for most of 2003. However, we do plan to move to a different URL at the end of the year and - if we can generate the interest - there will be a bear-pit forum where FReepers and FRSeepers can fight it out. For now, you can make use of the forums listed to the right.

The following are the forums "listed to the right":

• Liberty Post
• Liberty Forum
• RuR
• Anti-Kooking
• DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND

  If they're listing DU as an alternative to FR, there's more going on here than simple AFing.

[Constitution Day]

Yes....it seemed like a perfect opportunity to take a cheap shot at cats.

There's never a bad time for that!

[Timesink]

But please do not question the current administration.

I notice you haven't been banned for doing so.

[amused]

I saw this description of one of FR's "rival" sites.

Freedom Underground

AMUSINGLY NAMED "FU" is a spin-off from a spin-off. It mainly consists of anti-government posters who left LP because they didn't like the new flock of "Bush-bots" who had come over from Free Republic.

FU is run by poster "unamused", who was banned from LP for spamming the forum with foul language. "unamused" designed LP's primitive email system (Leper-Mail) so he had ready access to its members and was able to poach them.

LOL....More dopplegangers!

Thus proving division by zero IS possible.

[amused]

Hey you made his site already!...with this post!

Looks like the FRSers plan on bringing a bear to a gun fight...

Where does all the money actually go

It's telling about the mindset of these idiots that they obsess over a quarter-million dollars of voluntarily-donated money.
