I don't want to have anything to do with a plan that purports to help us compete with the Huffington Post and other similar leftist sites. If Free Republic is going to go down this road, I want no part of it.
If this digg.com site appears at the top of FR again, I will quit this site.

pls keep in mind, this is not competing with liberal websites for traffic.
this is about influencing the messaging that is consumed by the mainstream audiences. that’s the distinction you must understand.
this is about FR building its capacity to do so as the internet landscape has changed significantly in the last 4 yrs.
my 2 cents.

IMHO, digging articles is pretty much the equivalent of FReeping polls.
It doesn't take anything away from Free Republic.
I think it helps the conservative cause in general, gives FR more visibility on the web, and could help increase membership here.
Respectfully, I wouldn't be afraid of digg.
