but the free republic site has been held up to ridicule in the media as well, and called some really dreadful things...yet they still go on, and have even been effective with some things they've done.

They all sound crazy to me, and they've certainly opened the door to ridicule of the 'right', but it doesn't appear to stop them from discussing things or gaining new posters.

Lots of chatsites and blogs go through the same process, and yet continue to be popular. The main stream media naturally makes fun of a new form of reporting, discussing, and passing on news...whether the news is questionable or legit. Even the 'regular' media, Fox news for example, is made fun of.

I just assumed that discussions of things ....serious or silly...was just discussion. Not the judgement of a nation.
