Of course, one can see the page much easier if one has Japanese font capability installed on the PC. Nevertheless:

Scroll down 1/2 way on the page. In one of the middle paragraphs you will clearly see "FREE REPUBLIC". It's in the paragraph starting with "CBS...60 Minutes". It talks about how Free Republic's contributors/researchers were a key link in breaking the news about the CBS-Rather Fake Documents last week.

The Japanese article itself says: "Random Bloggers Take On American CBS-TV After Broadcast Raised Doubts About President Bush's Military History" (sic)

And this is just the tip of the iceberg. For example, here (in Japanese, sorry):

http://purple.noblog.net/blog/l/10015667.html

A Japanese blogger has run an exciting story entitled: "Memo on Bush Duty in Military Exposed by Bloggers as Fake!" ("'Bushu no gunreki wo shimesu memo ga gizo' to buroga shiteki!")

Congratulations Free Republic.

Hello to our Japanese friends. If I may, I will reach back into the DFU Archives. Sharon Stone's husband got a private tour at the Los Angeles zoo and wanted to see a komodo dragon up close. They allowed him into the cage. Ouch.

I love Komodo dragons…just like I did red wagons
They are so sweet…they just love licking people’s feet
On Father’s Day…I might just get my way
And I’ll get to see one right up close

I love Komodo dragons…just like I did red wagons
Their skin is cool and they do not treat people cruel
On Father’s Day…I might just get my way
And I’ll get to see one right up close

My wife said “I have a surprise for you-ou-ou-ou
So close your eyes and we’re off to the zoo-oo-oo-oo"

I love Komodo dragons…just like I did red wagons
Smart as can be…and for food they will not mistake me
On Father’s Day…I might just get my way
And I’ll get to see one right up close

(musical interlude)

I love Komodo dragons…just like I did red wagons
They are safe pets…I am willing to place some bets
On Father’s Day…I might get my way
And I’ll get to see one right up close

(musical interlude)

I love Komodo dragons…just like I did red wagons
I said, “Dear, please…don’t excite them by spreading your knees”
On Father’s Day…I might just get my way
And I’ll get to see one right up close

Oh, no…my toe is hurting…it hurts like hell-ell-ell-ell

LOL! This is how my Sherlock Translation program (Japanese to English) translated the paragraph with FR mentioned:

"It televised concerning the memo which assumes that in the program, CBS 60 Minutes II, that superior of that time when Bush president has been attached to the duty of Texas National Guard, showed the fact that doubt is held in regard to the military service of the president. Immediately after the that, on the web site where the conservative color which is called FreeRepublic.com is strong, those memos could do writing of anonymity of random."

Read the article, and it's not surprising. The Japanese reported Teresa's
"Shove it" episode, and everything else. Of course, Beat Takeshi had a TV show
validating the whole 9/11 conspiricy, and Smap's Katori Shingo has been ragging on
Bush every chance he gets. Ah, to be a conservative in Japan.

Does anyone know what "Free Republic" would look like in hiragana / katakana / kanji?

Be careful, AmericanIntokyo, or the DNC will label you a Federalist Society political operative specializing in tempura tampering.
