I'm eternally grateful that Rush refers to us as bloggers and FReepers instead of the increasingly-inaccurate "Pajamahadeen."
Me too!! Afterall, not all of us wear pajamas!!!!

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 am not sure if decorum dictates that I offer you Kudos or Condolences.
thank you el Rushbo!
Although I don't post too often, I'm here everyday. A little Freeper on the bottom of the totem pole, but boy it feels good to be a part of something big that is making a real difference. FR and Freepers are wonderful. I'm so proud.
Ping!

I think a lot of those conspiracy theorist kooks are seminar posters trying to discredit the site and give us a bad name. Off with their jammies!
Thanks, again. You're on the ball - I didn't realize you had already linked it when I did my post.
Okay. I have now read 379 posts in this thread. It is time for me to put my two cents worth in.
Yes, as you can tell by moving your cursor over my freeper name, I am a newbie. Well, to be honest, I was a lurker for quite some time, but still am nothing more than a newbie.
With that said, let me caution those of you who are gloating in the publicity provided by Rush to not get caught up too much in that publicity. FreeRepublic did not bring down CBS. Buckhead did not bring down CBS.
The TRUTH brought down CBS, and the TRUTH, in this newbie's opinion, is what FreeRepublic is all about. Let us all stop patting ourselves on the back and go back to what we do best, finding and reporting the truth.
There is absolutely not one thing wrong with being proud to be a freeper, and being proud of Howlin, Buckhead, et. al., but let's please stop with the gloating, and place our pride in being Americans, and our belief that a conservative America is a better America above all else.
Be careful what you wish for ... :)
I resemble that remark .. LOL
