If that is the case, why do 95% of those posters do nothing but bash Mitt Romney, and call him names, and bash Mitt Romney, and call him names, and bash Mitt......
Seriously, FR has morphed itself from a 'pro-active' web site into a bash Romney website.
Check out any thread with Romney in the headline. The first 20 postings are nothing but a gaggle of name-calling hatred of the man, with nary a substantive criticism .... just name calling and ad hominem attacks off "liar, scum, homo-lover, briber" ... and THESE are just the nice ones.
That is two separate issues. You said Most of FR has no candidate, and that is wrong.
As far as “bashing” Mitt Romney, it is a two way street. Very early on some of the harshest and most vile attacks I have seen in some time were from Mitt supporters towards Thompson and worse his wife. The Administrators had the good tastes to eliminate many of those posters and and their posts.
Free Republic is not a “Republican” site, it is a conservative one. Mitt has more than a few historical issues in that regard,none the least of which is his use, or should I say misuse of Ronald Reagan’s name.
If you don’t like these “vile attack”s, get together with your Mitt buddies and stop attacking everyone else and you may get some where. Insulting other and Free Republic itself, as some of your peers have done, will be returned in kind.
So suck it up or quit.
