1. I can understand why.

Having visited that place on a consistent basis for the last four or five years, I can definitely see that the lunatics are running the asylum over there. A lot of the normal people were driven off years ago. It's not a right-wing version of DU. They're just fucking nuts.

[TahitiNut]

8. You say "nuts" like it's a Bad Thing™. Please don't.

Allow me to remind my fellow DUers that it's demeaning to most of us 'Nuts' to associate us with psychopaths like those at FreeRepublic. Using the word 'nuts' as an epithet, as though it's a Bad Thing™, is insensitive to the keen feelings and heightened sensibilities of some good folks, many of whom are DUers. I'm a loud and proud Nut!

9. OK, can I use "fucktards" instead?

Does that meet with your approval? ;-)

[patrice]

2. Truth, by definition, is Inevitable, especially in contrast with obvious . . .

Stupidity.

[onehandle]

3. It's shame. They supported this meat-grinder of a war.

Now we've lost and can only "hold the line" by "surging" with more troops temporarily before we start leaving with our tails between our legs.

Losers.

[patrice]

5. Many of them fell for BushInc's lies.

Others are just plane bad.

Think how different things would be if Bush supporters had seen the NECESSITY of leaving after Saddam Hussein was hanged.

Unfortunately they were smoking the same pipe Bush is.

4. jimmy had a purge of many of the members

that did`t agree with him and questioned just where the money was going...that site has never been updated yet he cries for money

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

6. He was looking...

For $66,000 for this quarter's fundraising. Now really, that is a hell of a lot of money. An amazing amount of money for just one quarter.

Something is very hinky over there.

[KG]

10. seem foolish, when you're running a scam, to run off so many of your marks.

but then, the brain power over there is less than that generated by a hamster running in his cage.

[tuckessee]

7. Maybe they dragged some off to Gitmo.

Lord knows they are a violent, reactionary, tribal group.

[skids]

11. Not to mention...

...freepers seem to be dumb enough to install the alexa junkware.

[sam sarrha]

12. i figure a lot of them just graduated to high school and have less time cause of more homework

Looks like both FR and DU have seen drops in traffic, but our side is not as dramatic. And does anyone know what's causing those spikes this year?
