Only if Hannity regards educated 'high falutin' people as fringe.

He's partly right. That's why Jim Robinson is cleaning out the immigration threads.

FR goes through these cycles. After the 1998 elections, there were a lot of Birchers and conspiracy types flocking here (there were actually threads on jet contrails as the government trying to poison American citizens).

Now that Bush has been re-elected, we've seen a flood of newbies commenting on immigration. Some of these folks have nefarious backgrounds, or are retreads Jim's kicked off before.

But he's wrong that FR is primarily fringers. In fact, the kooks don't tend to last very long, as Jim and the mods learn who they are pretty quickly.

I guess this calls for yet another frantic thread by the Toad over at TOS.

Seems to many of us that the "cleaning" needs to be more balanced.

Maybe Hannity is a useful idiot?

Exactly.

Wonder how he's going to 'control and monitor' his site without boring everyone to death, ala Trixie?

Cheapshot.

You know damn well that nearly all taken down during the purge over immigration that took place here recently had been here a long time.

Some just as long as you.

No need to lie about it Sink to folks who don't follow FR's intrigues.

Yeah, but if he really said that he hasn't logged on in two years, how does he know what's been going on recently?
