Hugh Hewitt mentions Free Republic in an interview

Hewitt gave Free Republic a nice plug!

Hugh Hewitt: I go to Free Republic every day, probably 20 times. I bet you that I've heard every major story first on Free Republic, except for 9/11 (I was broadcasting on 9/11 while it happened). Now there are some nuts at Free Republic, some absolute off the wall goofballs. I always warn my listeners and friends in the blogosphere that you have to learn to work that site to avoid the goofballs, but in terms of having thousands people looking for news and posting it, it is far, far, faster than any of the news services.

Cool! Cue the happy Popeye music!

sort of like jimmies on ice cream. Adds colour and texture but really doesn't change the flavour. And you can just say no...

Peanuts, almonds, cashews? There are no nuts at Freerepublic, NEVER!! We'll roast your stomach in hell!

This is Hugh and series...

What goofballs?-)

I think all journalists should be imprisoned for life!!

Somehow, I knew that line would be taken.

It's beau-i-ful! (sniff)

[Tank-FL]

I wonder which side of the isle I am on..

A. Nut Case

B. Real Nut Case?

[ASA Vet]

I thought of you too. :-)

But on a series note, Hugh is the guy who mentioned on the air the B-52 photo
I posted on FR, (before Afganistan.)
He caused way to many "hits" which my internet web host, of course, billed to me.
A funny side note, that photo was picked up by Hillary.com and posted there.
I changed the photo, keeping the same name, thereby causing
a photo of Bill with Webbs daughter Cheslsea to appear on Hillery's site.

Thanks Hugh!

Well, I suppose it's like the old saying: Any publicity is good publicity.

A real nut and absolute off the wall goofball Bump!

I've been telling people the same thing for years. Great news source, but sometimes you have to look "around" things to find it.  Although I NEVER name names and of course, never include myself. If I'm telling them about it I figure they are smart enough to already know that much.

Naw.... that's perfectly normal.... ;)

LOL, those are my sentiments exactly. I tell people where I get most of my news, but I always "warn" them first. Along with the goofballs here, we have some extremely intelligent and talented posters. Some of them have knowledge and background that the average idiot journalist couldn't even comprehend. We may have goofballs, and I may, sometimes, be one of them, but I am proud and glad to be a member!

I've asked Jim a few times to incorporate a method for us to have a "show no posts by: xxx" ability.
I can think of one or two real series nut cases I'd rather not have to scroll though.
