Freerepublic is down

[Very_Boring_Name]

Probably going over every thread that references Gifford in the past 12 months and scrubbing any references to violence towards her.

on edit: it just came back up

[HereSince1628]

1. Once posted = forever cached.

That's life since the internet was born.

[Lucian]

3. Someone needs to find that cache then.

[HereSince1628]

20. I rather imagine several federal agencies are on that task right now.

FBI, and Homeland Security probably have it in hand already.

[nmbluesky]

2. very interesting ..

What did they really fear?

[CAG]

4. probably reloading just like Sarah told them to

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. AGAIN? They were down two nights ago

[seeviewonder]

6. Kinda odd that all these righty sites

keep going down on a day when a Democratic politician was shot. I think you're probably right in that everything is being scrubbed.

[Lex]

7. Scrub a dub dub.

No doubt.

[TeaBagsAreForCups]

8. No. It is not specific to just today....

9. no it's not.

it's not working very well but that's nothing new.

[Very_Boring_Name]

15. Ah it literally *just* came back up

For the past 20 minutes I've gotten an error message when trying to load it.

[apocalypsehow]

10. I have a feeling that the moderators over there simply haven't been able to keep up with the need to

delete all the ugly commentary being posted, so they pulled it down to give their hate squads a "timeout."

[treestar]

17. Yes, this has happened before

Other events have caused the same thing. Maybe Teddy's death, something like that.

[patrice]

21. Don't you bet those guys see the craziest shit out there! nt

[Darth_Kitten]

11. Bastards. Fucking bastards.

:(

[Liberal Veteran]

12. More than likely, they had to shut down because they could not keep up with moderating their board.

I can only imagine how vile some of the things that were being posted about Giffords to that cesspool were in the wake of this.

[lpbk2713]

13. RimJob doesn't want any incriminating evidence.

Those mouthbreathing idiots would make lots of posts that the Secret Service would just love to see.

[Happyhippychick]

14. How ironic that a homophobic hate site is consistently going down on it's male members.

Just sayin'....

[Canuckistanian]

16. Scrub, scrub, scrub, little Rimjob

Get those servers nice and clean.

[Raster]

18. There is no doubt ol' Rimjob and his keyboard comandoes are fast at work sanitizing their freak show

It's one thing to shoot your mouth off. It's another thing to take responsibility for it.

[Cleita]

19. Every time something happens that causes their

members to behave badly, it goes down. I'm waiting for the day it goes down permanently. That will be a day for rejoicing.
