The Conservative Voice Forum Index Asks: "Is Free Republic Biased?"

The Conservative Voice does, however run some interesting articles. My intent is not to cast stones at their website.

I just found it interesting that the FR Index question popped up as I was finding my way around the site.

And who is this Laz? ( asked about in the FR discussion forums on TCV).

(My Note: it seems much easier to read the whole body of comments on 1-2 pages without registration.)

The Moderator on TCV also has the power to "Lock a Topic" or consider it "Sticky".

Of course it's biased. It's no different from any other enterprise that wishes to control its own private property. What's your point?

[andyandval]

And who is this Laz?

Prolific FReeper Lazamataz no doubt.

[cripplecreek]

I can answer the bias question easily.

Simply look at any thread that concerns drug legalization, border control or religion and you will find some pretty spirited arguments. People who agree don't fight over the issues.

[Let's Roll]

Right - I wouldn't be here if it wasn't the antidote to the poison we are surrounded with - duh.

[goldstategop]

Its like calling the kettle black. I'm anti-illegal immigration and have blasted Bush's indifference towards keeping our country safe here on Free Republic and haven't been banned yet. The fact I don't subscribe to every single one of the President's policies doesn't mean I'm not a conservative. Where I disagree with the Administration, rest assured I do so for different reasons than that advanced by the RINOs.

[M. Espinola]

It's like asking if NPR, The New York Times, The Washington Post and CNN are biased?

[AQGeiger]

I can't get over the fools who refuse to accept the fact that FR is a privately owned site. The owner may do with it as he pleases, and accepts us in his home out of his hospitality. He has the right to kick us out if we are rude guests.

But seriously now, who is "ALIPAC?" I've seen threads on this person, but can never figure out what's going on.

[Dog Gone]

since the site is dominated by paid party operatives and federal employees

Really? How come I'm not getting paid like the rest of you guys?

I'm scared now.

[Dog Gone]

Not to mention Free Trade.

Googlism for: lazamataz

lazamataz is something of a joker
lazamataz is such a retard"
lazamataz is hot
lazamataz is as decent
lazamataz is not a moderator
lazamataz is correct on the new authority that has been put in the hands of reno

[babble-on]

Yes, but spell his name backward and the plot thickens!

Zatamazal! Zat = Zot, a = a, Mazal is very like Mazel, or "Luck" in yiddish. Coincidence? I hardly think so.

[goldstategop]

Really now. Then we all favor more entitlement programs and higher taxes, right? If that were true, that would be news over on DU. They still hate us, so I figure we're still on the right side of the road.

"They taunted and gloated with perverse kitty pictures . . ."

Viking kittens perhaps?

[dighton]

They taunted and gloated with perverse kitty pictures ...

Now accepting bids for tagline rights.
