It is the redirect page that is doing it, Google has tightened the malware warnings. Here's the thought process: User clicks on link to go to page on freerepublic.com, gets to the page and immediately, it tries to load up another page on a completely unrelated domain. The warning being: Hey! You're not going to the page you wanted to on freerepublic.com, they're trying to send you to cnn.com!

I'm not sure how important that redirect page is, other than a fixed source page so that if anyone asks, it can be shown how many times people clicked through to an article from a story and to mask exactly what story page they came from. Since the front page links don't go to the re-direct page (why should it, it just shows the main forum page?) there's no warning, as you intentionally chose to use a link to another website.

I just opened Free Republic in Google Chrome. No problems whatsoever.
