That statement was false, was the intended meaning. You only need to go to the "front page" of FreeRepublic and read the lead story which has run for sometime now on the Minutemen. Also I have been part of many discussions on the Minutemen Project. I also listed a couple I had done several posts back with a few thousand views and a couple hundred replies. You only need to hit Ping at the top of your page to find how many views you have had on your story besides the actual responses.
If anything gets pulled, it would be a duplication, a FReeper posting from a site that has no value but to incite negative reaction from FReepers. Someone posting that pops in from the outside and just throws a one liner up there that could be just moved to a chat room. Plus the post on here pulled for "hate speech against minorities/defamatory bunk". If you do a Search on the Minuteman Project you will find tons of stories in relationship to.
Jim Robinson is to be admired and FR stories have been picked up by news/talk hosts for a long time. Don't forget Buckhead and the Rather memogate scenario. I was here that night as the "suspense" did build. The next day what had been discovered and researched made the news. The same goes for Bill Burkett as well. Emails were sent in mass to the news media and FoxNews, and I have found, will use info we have found and researched. Howie Carr in Boston always talked about FR on the air, as do other hosts. They do listen to FReepers and they do scan our site doing their homework. We are relevant to getting out the truth. We are relevant for exposing the biased liberal media. (you might subscribe to www.mediaresearch.org on a site best in that department often read and posted here on FR by yours truly).
Try not to take too seriously those "copycat" websites run by megalomaniacs trying to build a name for themselves with nothing more to offer of mainstream information, no research additional, and constant running attacks on FR. Jim has to keep this site up and running smoothly and therefore we should, as we frequent his site, drop a little into the kitty from time to time. Some do on a monthly basis, I contribute with other FReepers each time the fund raising comes up again. There is a lot of hard work to keeping this site moving slowly and we should not expect Jim to foot the bill. There is a budget that has to be adhered to in running FR.
Jealousy on the part of other sites that do not have the following FR has? you bet your "petutie" there is. .
Have a good day and welcome aboard

You are wrong on that one. All posted news about the Minuteman Project was deleted from Free Republic before April 1. A move that I fully understand and support. I think that such article are allowed here now since so many news sources are covering the Minuteman Project.
I understand that this upset Gheen, ALIPAC, and others but our President is right that this group is a bad idea. Jim Robinson was doing the right thing by getting that information off the board.
I've read Gheen's infamous article 'Not So Free Republic' several times and I find his association with the Minutemen and Team America PAC to be of great concern.
We are a nation of immigrants and there should be no room for these troublemakers among civilized people.
