I just had to visit FR to see how they were dealing with the latest news concerning Ron Paul, for old times sake.

I had not visited in a very long time.

I knew the place had gone to ADL hell, but I was surprised to read the attacks on Kathleen Willey.

The best thing is for the MSM to ignore this. Giving public exposure to a cash-strapped whacko needing to promote book sales and letting her rant with crazy foam-at-the-mouth conspiracy theories would actually help hitlery.

This story reminds me of Rosie O'Donnell and the WTC-7 story. Make a wildly stupid statement and then watch while millions of idiots with absolutely no proof of anything agree with you.

I fear that the 24%er's will always be among us. All we can do is ignore them.

It was my mistake to visit the site. An American that believes in liberty and the Constitution visiting FR is like a black man visiting a KKK rally.

Thanks for the laugh - it's really sad what's become of fr, but, I made some good internet friends there.

I wonder how many of us that were visiting FR in 1997 and 1998 are still posting there?

I still post there occasionally. I think FR, and the R party in general, was better when it was the attacking minority. When the R's took power, the small govt ideals went by the wayside, and big $ politics took over. FR went from being a site that was dominated by libertarian leaning conservatives to highly partisan R's trying to rationalize the status quo. The primary emphasis there now is, first and foremost: pro-war, followed by social conservative issues. Fiscal conservatism takes a backseat, although there is still a minority contingent of fiscal conservatives. There are several pro-RP posters who are quite knowledgeable about RP. Every single RP thread has the same crowd of anti-RP posters who show up with the typical one-liners, cartoons, strawman arguments, and distortions of RP's positions. The thing I don't like about FR is the close-mindedness. If you are anti-war, you are anti-American. If you support RP, you are a loon. There is a tendency (which seems to be tacitly supported by the mods) to simply dismiss opposing points of view instead of having even the semblance of a meaningful debate.
