In an email to POLITICO this afternoon, Robinson admitted that the site routinely blocks Romney supporters from posting -- and offered no apologies for the practice:
Free Republic is a pro-life, pro-family, pro-gun, pro-small government, pro-constitution, pro-liberty site. Governor Romney is none of the above. His record is that of an abortionist, gay rights pushing, gun grabbing, global warming advocating, big government, mandate loving, constitution trampling, flip-flopping liberal progressive with no core values. That and the fact that he is the chief architect and advocate for ObamaCare disqualifies him for any consideration whatsoever on Free Republic as a potential nominee for the presidency. ...
Liberal progressives and other enemies of the constitution and or of Liberty itself are not welcome here. Accounts registered here by liberal progressives and other assorted trolls, malcontents and disruptors will be removed on sight or at the convenience of the site administrators.
The site came under fire from Ross Abraham, a blogger for Mitt Romney Central, who wrote today that Free Republic is just one of several sites (along with RedState, he says) on the right-wing Internet that are pretty much off limits to Mitt Romney's supporters.

I don’t believe Perry supporters are in any danger. Governor Perry is a proven conservative who disagrees with some others on one State’s rights issue.

Interesting (and sporadic!) posting history.
Might be mistaken for a ball of yarn.
Cheers!

Keep in mind that if Mittens is the nominee, I will - within hours - announce my internet campaign for POTUS.
My platform will be precisely in line with the mission statement of FR.

No, sorry...I guess I was unclear. This person was NOT - repeat, NOT - threatening me. He was just advising me that if I didn’t want to risk a future ban I might want to lay low.

Will someone tell Willturd he’s in line to replace Biden on the ticket? Obammie needs another stoopid white guy to make him look, er cool.
To: BuckeyeTexan
The Main Stream Media rarely lies I stand by that statement. However, their selective use of the truth without counter points in effect turns the truth into a lie. It is a lie of omission and not commission.
A good example is they way they are covering the "Occupy Wall Street" scam. They selectively edit anything bad about OWS. They do not tell us about the political beliefs of the leaders. They do not delve into the source of funding for this group nor do they look at the political background of their leaders. They do not lie about them but what they do is far far far worse than a blatant lie.

“I’m sorry to learn that Free Republic blocks Romney supporters from posting. I’ve been enjoying this message board for a number of years. Their decision to block an important segment of posts lessens my respect for Free Republic.”
That's not a true Opus, december12. Just a lame invitation for a routine zot.
You even seemed to try to avoid attracting the Viking Kitty's attention (failure)
“Very Romneyesque”!LOL!
Have you ever read the homepage?
To: MHGinTN
Well of course I would be voting other spots on the ballot. But I am sorry - Mittens is no more than a McLame - except now he has to go up against an incumbent President, even McLame didn't have that disadvantage. Mittens has no chance of beating Zero in a debate on Obamacare. The reason I did not skip the 2008 Presidential check box was because of Palin.

You got it. But I bet JimRob and the mods will deal with those characters in due time, lest they disrupt FR and muddy its purpose.

An excellent policy. Why give this guy Romney ANY traction at all through this Conservative FR site? It would be like a turkey lobbying for Thanksgiving.

And that's why we love it here so much.

Politico’s looking for yet another fight. Makes me wonder if their main purpose is to do opposition research for the Obama administration.

Just so there is no global misunderstanding, it says in Japanese, "Mitt Romney is without a doubt, a LIBERAL."
