5. Disinfopedia refers to him as the "Director" of F.R. (see post above)
They do not refer to him as Free Republic's Webmaster, so it's not contradictory of John Robinson as F.R.'s Webmaster.

He is a Web Designer in Falls Church VA., listed on the IRS form that you will see in my sig line, as a contributor to the Swift Boat Vets. He also is Webmaster for their site.

And on Free Republic's own Web Site:

An Interview with Scott Swett - Director of the Free Republic Network
Independent Bias Website June 30, 2004 Rich Bowden

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1164383/posts

"Much of the media is helping hamstring our efforts by highlighting casualties, ignoring accomplishments, and generally conveying the sense that we can’t possibly succeed." - Scott Swett

Scott Swett is a director of the Free Republic Network, an Internet-based non-profit that supports grassroots conservative activism. During the U.S. invasion of Iraq last spring, the FR Network helped coordinate "support the troops" rallies in hundreds of locations across the country. Mr. Swett represented this effort during an April 1, 2003 appearance on Fox & Friends, noting that an overwhelming majority of media coverage was given to anti-war protests -- which he termed "peace riots" -- while ignoring the 150,000 people who had attended pro-America rallies the previous weekend.

Early this year, Mr. Swett began researching the "war crimes" propaganda campaign that successfully undermined public support for America's defense of South Vietnam. The result of this work is WinterSoldier.com, a web site designed as a central repository of information for writers and researchers investigating the actions of John Kerry, Vietnam Veterans Against the War and others during the Vietnam era. The site quickly attracted the interest of Vietnam veterans, hundreds of whom have written in to share their own experiences. Other researchers have now joined the effort, and continue to provide new material and opinion articles.
