The left doesn’t need facts or reality.
The one and only thing I ever saw even remotely racist here on FreeRepublic was back in July 2009 when the Obama girls were in France. As it turned out, it was liberal outside agitators who were posting the over-the-top comments and pictures. That thread was then pulled by the moderators. I've been reading FR regularly since shortly after 9/11 and started posting in February 2010. In that eleven years of observation, there's not been a taint of racism here aside from that one disruption from outsiders.
By definition, Conservatives can't be racist since individual liberty is at the core of our philosophy. And even as I post this, I see this reminder from the boss:
Please: NO profanity, NO personal attacks, NO racism or violence in posts.
That's the reality of FR: the premiere pro-God, pro-life, pro-gun and pro-liberty site on the entire web.
