I wasn’t speaking for him ... just relaying information.

However - to quote Jim Rob directly ...

Well, I’ll put it this way. FR is an independent pro-America, pro defense, pro-military conservative grassroots activism organization. The successful prosecution of this war is very important to the vast majority of our members. Many of our chapters and our members protest against the antiwar moonbats every chance they get. Many of our members are veterans or have family members in the service. We respect and support our commander-in-chief, our troops, and their mission. We believe that the antiwar moonbats are actually giving aid and comfort to the enemy, ie, committing acts of treason. Their treasonous activities demoralizes our troops, wears down the public’s will to wage war and emboldens the enemy. Knowing all of this you and the other antiwar Ron Paul supporters are working at cross odds to our activism and troop support efforts. That pisses off a lot of our members and causes a lot of unnecessary strife and friction within our organization.

Let’s say that Free Republic co-sponsors a national rally in DC where we have 10,000 conservative veterans, patriots, FReepers, etc, all carrying support the troops signs, God Bless America signs, service flags, American flags, etc, and all present on our side are obviously supporting the troops and the war effort. And we’re counter protesting against a larger group of brainwashed antiwar moonbat students and grungy old hippies reliving their Hanoi Jane antiwar glory days. And all of them are carrying “No More War,” “Bring the Troops Home” and “Impeach Bush” signs and chanting slogans against Bush, against the war, against our troops, etc. And you and a group of hundreds of Ron Paul supporters show up determined to join the protest. Question is, which side do you join?
