I live in the same town as Free Republic HQ, ask me anything!

[sysoprock]

I live in Fresno, where Free Republic was actually investigated as a hate group by the city's human relations council.

Ask me anything!

[Zuni]

1. Do you know any of them?

Do you see them FReeping?
Are they as big of assholes in person as they are on the web?

[sysoprock]

2. I don't know any of them personally...

but yes, I do see them Freeping.

I saw them do a Freeping at Fresno State, and every Friday they go to the busiest intersection in the city and wave their flags and signs.

Best Freeper sign I've seen in person is...

(Peace Sign) = (Swaztika)

[Zuni]

6. I have seen pictures of them Freeping that intersection

on Freerepublic. They look like total asshats. Just having them out there must have made many people become Democrats.

3. Hmm

I don't know how he could see them through the fog in that damn city!

4. I'm in the Bay Area and drive through occasionally.

Tell me about a good restaurant w/in 1/2mi of the freeway!

[sysoprock]

5. Hmmmmm.

Pretty much anything out by 99 is shit, you gotta drive into town if you want something good. There's a couple really good indian places if you get off on shaw and head east.

However, if you pass Fresno and go about another 20 miles or so, there is a Mean Gene's Hamburger's right off the freeway.

It's a hamburger place owned by Mean Gene Oakerland of WWF fame!

9. I think I've seen that place

next time I'll give it a shot. Thanks!

[Mojambo]

7. How do you tolerate the smell? n/t

[sysoprock]

10. I attach a lime to my upper lip.

Blocking the stench.

[Ruffhowse]

8. Go blow up their servers

[sysoprock]

11. As a nerd, I'm morally opposed to that.

Besides, they provide hours of comedy.
