Free Republic how it looked in 1997, 98, 99...

Example tin-foil hat material: "Our government was in on a plot to hijack airliners full of people and crash them into the WTC, the Pentagon, and other government targets so that Bush could declare war on Afghanistan and other ME countries. It's all about oil and global power." That is in my opinion tin-foil hat material. Anyone who posts anything resembling this b/s will be nuked on sight.

The following is "tinfoil hat":

The Bush Administration has tapped my phone and is peeking in my windows.

The following is not "tinfoil hat":

Felt gravity on Earth used to be lighter because Saturn was nearby, right over the North Pole, at the time. That's how the dinosaurs grew to be so much bigger than an elephant.

You see, the first one brings discredit on FR. The second one proves we're on the cutting edge of science.

My understanding (and if I am wrong JR, please correct me), is that this is for extreme cases.

The conspiracy forum contains some tinfoil hat material. There is always a lot of OKC stuff posted as well. But my understanding is that this is talking about stuff that is way way out there and not put in the proper area.

Oh you know, wild, far out stuff, like the mention of any possibility that any Republicans, particularly any Bush administration appointees, were in any way implicated in or profited by the narcotics flights into the US during the late 1970s, '80s and '90s, and cooperated with their Democratic counterparts to keep the lid on, at Mena and elsewhere.
