Another day, another bigot hivemind.

Today's soup du jour is hating on Muslims.

1. Just curious...why draw attention to it?
It's well established that there are a bunch of racist shitheels over there, and we know what they're capable of writing.

Personally, I don't need further proof and it's just negativity on top of negativity, but maybe that's just me...

15. Not to mention...
...that every time you click onto their site, they pollute your computer with a "freerepublic.com" cookie.

18. Because the more one draws attention, the more one shines light on thugs and bigots...
- The more one learns about who is fomenting hatred that in the case of the hard right leads to acts of violence
- The more likelihood that thugs who hide behind screen names will be stripped of their Internet anonymity and held to account for their actions

3. I don't go there -
I have no desire to visit that site.

And, honestly, I don't understand why anyone would ever give their ugliness any more exposure.................

4. The site is moderated to remove anything sounding rational.
Only the most deranged and hate-filled survives scrutiny.

5. Even thinking about clicking on that link
causes radiating nerve pain through the back of my skull and numbness through my face, arms, and hands. It's some sort of internet virus, I tell you.

6. The Site that Shall Not Be Named
there are Democratic sites to which DU members are not allowed to link, yet people link to FreakRepublic with impunity. I don't even pretend to understand; I just slog through the day like a good prole.

7. FR is owned by Jim Robinson
Therefore, class is not an option.

16. "With" KO, not "of" KO....yes!
I think KO called him Thompson on purpose.

11. Well...
To: La Lydia
we have too may of them here anyway.

right now as I type to you in Chicago Islamic nutters are having their meeting in the Hilton and the subject is about overthrowing this country and making it an Islamic one...


Well, don't freepers want to overthrow OUR government and make it a "Christian" one?

Different strokes, freeps, different strokes.

14. K&U - I think hot-linking to FR is a bad idea
It gives them too much information.
