Free Republic is down.

[stevedeshazer]

Looks like they couldn't withstand the mighty power of the Clenis.

:rofl:

[Joanne98]

1. HAHAHA!

[Echo In Light]

6. *

[scheming daemons]

2. They're probably scrubbing posts by George Sodini (Pittsburgh shooter)

[KittyWampus]

3. first thought that entered my mind.

[lamp_shade]

7. Me too.

[TokenQueer]

10. Me three.

Some scary shit gets hatched over there...

[K8-EEE]

36. Me four! n/t

[lamp_shade]

16. Still down at 11:07

[TexasObserver]

8. You know it. They probably have an automatic protocol every time some nut does this.

If they're not freepers, it's the exception.

[Ian David]

17. That was MY first thought ,too. n/t

[Warpy]

29. Undoubtedly

They've had to scrub a lot of posts lately after one of their crazies has gone violent.

I don't know how the FBI can still continue to think the biggest threat to this country comes from the left.

[rateyes]

4. Sucks to be them.

:hi:

[Renew Deal]

5. Hopefully the FBI finally swooped in on them

and grabbed their servers.

[pinniped]

9. Good one, and probably true.

.

[Botany]

11. They might be scrubbing their site for a certain Pittsburgh man's posts.

Or the idea that Clinton, Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Al Gore worked together and got the job done is making them have a:

[SpiralHawk]

12. Bingo

But they cannot scrub out the stains of fear and hate that infect their souls.

[piratefish08]

22. There isn't enough time between now and The Rapture to scrub the stupid from that site

[Jennicut]

14. They are horrified and unable to post at this time, its all too much

[City Lights]

13. The final smackdown!

:rofl:

[cbdo2007]

15. That's too bad - they're missing out on the thousands of hits from all of the DUers

who are obsessed with it. That's advertising dollars down the drain.

[Ian David]

19. No, they're scrubbing all the articles from Associated Press that were posted in their entirety. n/t

[TheCowsCameHome]

18. Wash day at the sewage plant, scrubbing Pittsburgh-area posters

[piratefish08]

20. Buh-bye posts......

Freerepublic - rewriting history as it happens........

[chat_noir]

21. FReeper Yahoo Group

...where they go to moan about FR being down.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/freerepublic2/messages

[Contrary1]

25. And moan, they do:

"Imagine if it never came back up...I can't believe the rate of the freepathon is
pleasing to Jim Rob. :(
He has to be getting discouraged by the fact that the current thon is over a
month old and not even half over. What would we all do if he shut down the site
due to not being able to meet the bills."

:nopity:

[kegler14]

31. It's really great to see how long the FR fundraisers take these days.

A sure sign of how the site attracts nothing but the loonies and drives away everybody with anything vaguely rational to say.

[dhpgetsit]

40. They are a perfect reflection of the GOP in general.

Stuffing their pockets with gold as their boat is sinking.

[NYC Liberal]

43. I dunno, I think it's better to have them all in one place online

rather than :scared: out in the real world.

I think having that site is a good thing. It puts all of their ignorant, racist, etc. crap on display. And it keeps them occupied while they might be doing...other things.

[Turborama]

23. I can picture them now...

[zbdent]

24. Here ... let's give them some drugs to help them with their depression ...

and wash it down with tequila ...

[Lochloosa]

26. I wonder if they have some bills unpaid. Their fund raising has been going real slow.

:shrug:

[MADem]

27. Well, they've never been down with the brown, and they never could get it up for the Clenis!

So this report is unsurprising. They're just....confused and fretful.

That's par for their course, mind you!

[snooper2]

28. They really are the bright ones "FreeRepublic Down in New Jersey"

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[boobooday]

32. clog in the series of tubes!

somewhere just outside Hoboken.

[snooper2]

39. And it's not just one of them "FR appears to be down in SW OK"

Just too fucking stupid to exist :rofl:

[Winterblues]

30. Ok I'll bite, I am supposed to care ...why????

:shrug:

[gkhouston]

33. Some people never get over their exes? I don't understand it, either. n/t

[Mrs. Overall]

34. If you don't care or aren't curious, then why even click on the thread?

I think it matters if FR is indeed scrubbing the posts of the man who went on the shooting rampage yesterday. They have done this with several other high profile murders, including the man who shot Dr. Tiller. The radical wing of the republican party, as demonstrated on FR, is fostering violence and to me that does matter.

[lpbk2713]

35. Servers can only tolerate just so much stoopid.

Obviously theirs reached its limit and croaked.

[urbanasaurus]

37. One of the moderators went batshit

And banned ALL of 'em. Even RimJob can't get in to fix it.

[scheming daemons]

38. That would be very cool, if true..... a "sleeper moderator" from the good side

[Deja Q]

41. They're up and begging for more money, again...

Must be hard work to run that site...

[lpbk2713]

42. Deleting all those threads is labor intensive.

:eyes:

[DainBramaged]

44. YEAH the internets is clensed

[Forkboy]

45. Do you mean offline or depressed?

:)

[hvn_nbr_2]

46. They've been down--down the rabbit hole--for quite awhile. nt
