7. We, however, need to make sure it's constantly referred to as "teabagging"
...wherever we can refer to it in other online forums, etc...

10. Yes it was...
but unlike Free Republic, the printing press has been modernized over the years.

Gutenberg Press--circa 1462:


Row of Cerutti rotogravure presses--circa 2009:

(You don't see most of this press--Ceruttis are two blocks long. They average 12 feet wide.)

MAN Roland 900 XXL sheetfed offset press--circa 2009


Photos of Free Republic not provided as the Free Republic of Gutenberg's time looks exactly like it appears today.

27. And they went straight for the usual stupid rubes, who immediately fell for it.
You'd think freepers would get angry about being used and treated like dunces after awhile, but nope.
