Rush is stating what many politicians, political operatives and party workers know from all sides: FR is not to be taken seriously.

Dog, I will no longer refer any conservative or GOP acquaintance to this place. Rush is right on. Look at the threads on FR ... this place is LewRockwell 2. It's been seized. Mexican Immigration, Civil War Grievences, Bush's Betrayals to Conservatives, conspiracies and intrigue ... it's cuckoo corner.

Abraham Lincoln's attack on Constitutional America is more insidious to people here than was Osama bin Laden's. Mexican Day Laborers are more hated and feared than Al Qaida sleeper cells. Tom Ridge is a greater danger than Saddam Huessein.

Rush's little sneer spoke volumes, and anyone here who is delighted with that shout out doesn't care about the forum or Jim's wonderful creation.

So, now opposing illegal immigration makes one an extremist nut?

Your spot on...

You are right-on in your statements.

Yeah...right. Just because it isn't yours and Miss Maple's private amen corner to everything Bush doesn't mean that it is all bad. How many times do you need to be reminded that this is NOT a Republican website. This is from the front page:

Free Republic is an online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. We're working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America.

If you're looking for the Republican cheerleaderbot website which exercises Taliban-like control upon what is said and thought, you might want to check with your RNC masters.

Actually, it's been worse.

Remember the flame wars of '98-'99 when almost every other thread was about Y2K, American concentration camps, contrails, the Trilateralist/CFR/Bilderburger/Illuminati menace and every other kind of conspiracy nitwittery imaginable?

Remember when Newt Gingrich resigned and one of FR's most prominent posters opined it was an example of the New World Order flexing its muscles?

That having been said, Free Republic still has its share of crackposts and they aren't exactly bashful about their crankery.

So that's why I had a migraine for the past two days! You snatched my thoughts right out of my head!

Apparently you missed the point. Bush's little sneer was a jab at the bushbots. That would be you, for one.
