Cool.
Now I realize that within this new alternative media there exists some jealosy,. I sense that some people don’t want to give the blogosphere the full credit. They have to parcel it out because every body wants a piece of the action; this is quite normal, this is human nature. The fact of the matter is that it was the blogosphere and it was a couple of sites: Powerline and FreeRepublic. And FreeRepublic has been one of the most impugned blogs / websites in the history of websites by the very institution that has been brought down.
When Dan Rather talked about partisan political operatives, he means those who lurk at FreeRepublic. Who is FreeRepublic, it’s ordinary Americans – liberals look down at ordinary Americans, don’t know have enough decision making power, [?] do the right thing, not smart enough …
You don’t know how much it grates on them at CBS that its something like FreeRepublic or one of their chat rooms or one of the FReepers there or the Powerline … you have no idea that it irritates them that that kind of person brought them down. An average, ordinary untrained journalist that … you just do not know how this irritates them inside. More than the fact that they got caught, it’s who caught them that irritates them.
And, so just as I started out … I was a fad, and I was a liar, and I made it up and I was bad for America and I posed threats to democracy, as the cover of Time said. So now the same things are being said about the bloggers. Fox news has had its turn and we all continue rotating in the criticism carousel of the left.
I FReep, therefore I am.
FReepers is a fine name for a fine group of fine and smart people! (Plus, see tag for sub-group membership.)
It works you got the heart of it great job.
Thanks! Finally someone notices!!
I like the mug. It would look great next to the mug that was given out during one of the FReepathons. I don't use that mug because I'm afraid of chipping or breaking it. I do display it proudly on a shelf over my kitchen sink.
I'd come closer to using a metal mug for the very reasons I don't use my other one.
Just keep on Freepin baby!
yes, i have been addicted for weeks now. I just found a new drug called "Free Republic"....
This site has so many features.. I just love it...

You got that right. I am firmly in the N.S.I. Free Republic camp! I ain't got no PJs!
I was listening to Rush at work today.It was nice to hear his words about FreeRepublic and all the great freepers.Thanks for the kind words Rush.
Also, post # 47 and FR mentioned hearily on MSNBC today
Eggsactly Batman! Besides, the term FReeper is reviled over at DUh. For that reason alone we should promote the name far and wide.
