No I am not that person. I have been here for a long time and respect the history and activity and the people through those year’s on FReeRepublic. I love FReeRepublic and want it to survive. Having a link on Drudge helps sell the product. I see that you have joined this wonder site in 2008 and I welcome you to the best Conservative website on the internet. Please visit the FReepathon it a a whole lot of fun:)

I've been here since 98. This is not my original screen name. I posted on the freepathon thread several times tonight, and I regularly contribute.

Sheesh!
I am watching it unfold, but still can't understand the abject stupidity of some posters on this website, such as yourself!

BTW, nobody is going to stop clicking on Drudge just because he posts links to articles/content you personally don't approve of, or find “offensive”.

There have been dozens of attacks on Drudge’s character and his sexuality here in the last couple of days. I’m pretty outside-in on this one.

OK, thanks for posting a reply.

:) Usually when I want to post a reply to all, I click on the first post and then remove that person’s name and place ALL at the tag line. :)

Everyone then knows you are talking to everyone.

Have a nice evening...

It was a deliberate, orchestrated, massive smear campaign.

Once you jump the shark there’s no going back, the boat won’t go fast enough in reverse to keep you skis up.

"BTW, nobody is going to stop clicking on Drudge just because he posts links to articles/content you personally don't approve of, or find “offensive”." Apparently quite a few people are... fact.

Drudge will continue to be Drudge and free to continue to have his site. THAT is Free speech.

Having the option to boycott someone or something because of their position is also called freedom to express ourselves.

THAT is what America is all about.

You Also have the FREEDOM to disregard the boycott and continue to visit his site as well,
That is also FREEDOM.

You also have the right to express your opinion on this thread (as long as it isn’t against the owner’s rules)

Stopped going there the other day after I let him know, in so many words, he’s nothing but a RINO Romney cheerleader. Don’t plan on going back there. Too bad, so sad, for his advertisements likely to notice greatly reduced traffic. I’m sure there’s lots of conservatives, not posting on FR, who’ve noticed he’s just another website with a GOP establishment bias (and calling it ‘news’ or ‘scoops’).

You are a terminally dense freeper. Last couple of days? What and when do you think started this? Do you always post on threads you know nothing about?

You can’t compare FR to Drudge. That’s like comparing the Cam & Company to Limbaugh. Besides, the top five stories in your search results are various versions of the same story. There’s a big difference between user posts on a free and open forum and links on the biggest news aggregation site in the world.

Drudge is giving more exposure to F&F than all of the major media outlets and all of our candidates (1 mention in 19 debates so far) combined. Yes, he’s doing considerably more than squat. And the hits he generates on every one of those stories he consistently links blows away the exposure generated here.

I stopped going to Drudge five years ago. Haven't been back since.

I did find Lucianne.com though him, and migrated to FR during the post election fight of 2000.

I enjoy Drudge. I love Free Republic. I watch FOX News. Same with Beck, Breitbart, etc.

I don’t agree with everything - from any source. But this boycott stuff is self-destructive, IMO. Drudge has done great things for our side. So has Ann Coulter. And Glen Beck.

And don’t forget... Newt was torched on these pages for endorsing Dede Scozzafava, slamming Paul Ryan, aligning with Al Sharpton, joining up with Nancy Pelosi etc.

Now we’re going blow up long time alliances for Newt Gingrich... Really?
