    This is disingenuous at best. Free Republic does produce content... they just call it "comments." The entire site is set up so wingnuts can masturbate each other with groupthink responses and pretend to be intellectually superior to Liberals by repeating third rate GOP/Rush/Savage/etc. talking points. The only reason they might deign to post an article from another part of the ideological spectrum is so that their readers can happily bash it.

    the only freeper references you see here come from the left, who seem obsessed with it.

    And every single one of your threads, which first appear in freeper-ville. Actually pretending that a bunch of terrorists attacked your apartment a few days ago was probably the most original idea you have had in years.

    If you don't want to talk about it, maybe when you are gameplanning all your posts at 7 AM, you should try to formulate some new material rather than taking things from the freepers.

    this is why people give you such a hard time, do you really think we're stupid enough to think you don't cruise these forums to start these threads. you just happen on these talking points at the same time these forums do and just happen to have the same opinion?

    I don't really care what you read, its your political view, and I don't really care that you think we're this stupid, but it is kind of funny though.

    It is different in that they don't even allow opposing or even moderate viewpoints.

    I signed on just to see the backslapping conservative cadre in action and it was pretty sickening. I posted a comment calling on the Freepers to stop calling names like Socialist, Fascist, Hitler, Mao, and Che, arguing that such action will only alienate moderates. For the transgression of being a moderate, my posting privileges were revoked.

    For reference, here are the two posts that led to my ouster...

    And here was the capper...

    I wasn't trolling the board or raising a stink, just made the point that name calling won't get conservatives elected. For this, I got banned from the site because they don't tolerate ANY dissent, just the backslapping conservative cadre. At least here, conservatives do get a voice, even the ones who simply don't deserve it.

    thanks for (perhaps inadvertently) admitting the D&D has a liberal bias.

    Actually, I see that the D&D has a FACTUAL bias. You don't see Refman getting assailed for contributing a conservative viewpoint because when he does it, he does it resepctfully and factually. Many of the things you post here are based on things that simply aren't factual and as such, you get labeled as a troll.

    Post more reality based viewpoints, facts are good for you.
