I don't know of any one being banned from freerepublic simply because they propose a liberal point of view. They might be played with a bit by freepers but not banned. It depends on the nature of the post.
If you got banned there must be more to the story than that you posted a non conservative opinion.
I agree, the negative remarks about peoples looks is a bit offputting, but remember, one of your biggest idols....and I mean big...Michael Moore, wrote a book entitled "Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot." So I would say that there is a bit of, or probably a lot of, hypocrite in yourself.
Oops, I meant Al Franken....he's not so big except in the head.
That was Al Franken who did that. I think he also wrote "Loans (and the Inner City Charities That Make Them)" or something like that...
