Did anyone have the stomach to pay a visit to FR?
Edited on Sun Sep-11-11 09:19 PM by brooklynite
I normally like to get a feel for their view of the world, but I figured today's jingoism would be insurmountable...

6. I used to go over there now and then, but I haven't been there in weeks.
I just can't stomach the hate. They are so out of touch with reality that they can't even have a decent discussion.

7. It's like a ghost town over there.
Only the craziest ones post over there anymore. Anyone who makes sense is banned, the website hasn't been upgraded since 1996, and the fund drive to make Jim Robinson a few bucks is non-stop.

I was there briefly today. It's like Somalia with Rim Job as the chief warlord. They aren't even relevant enough to make fun of. That site has cratered.

dude, check out the comments on GWB's address today. It's gold:

W delivers a modern Gettysburg Address - by y6162

I thought President Bush looked amazingly handsome today - a face full of character, pride and pain. His wife cried like a baby while Michele stood next to her stoney-eyed. - by miss marmelstein (Run, Sarah, Run! Please!)

Yea.. I had big tears while listening to W. The more humbler he is, the greater his stature.When the Kenyan lizard speaks, I thrust my middle finger in his face. - by y6162

gold...

12. Ehh if I want to see racist reactionary bullshit I go to Stormfront.
At least there the Fascist racist scum are honest and that really is the only difference between Free Republic and Stormfront.

13. err...
I like logical reasoned debates; I like people and humanity; I like science and a respect for nature; and since I like all of these things I can tell you No, I did not go to Free Republic and would not go there.
