Don’t worry about the divisions on Free Republic.
This is the web site that chose Alan Keyes to be the nominee in 2000! They’re still smarting from that little debacle. Keyes never got into double digits nationally, as I recall.
Also, this is the forum where management and other freepers called Bush a cokehead. As you can see, their political judgment is far from sound. It’s pretty whacked at times and thankfully doesn’t represent the voting public.
OK, I have a question that no one in media has addressed: I’d really like to know how it is that Imus has all these very high powered Washington insiders on his program (from Senators and presidential candidates to major news correspondents) and, to my knowledge, none of these guests ever called Imus on the name calling and bad behaviour. For years he’s called blacks gorillas and all other sorts of invective against Jews and Hispanics. How is it that the likes of Tim Russert and Geo. Stephanopolous, Harold Ford etc were still willing to go on his program all this time? The only person I know of who has always refused to go on his show is Dianne Fienstien.
If it's so bad, why are you still here?
