How much FREE publicity for FR is too much?

[Mick Knox]

I've heard Free Republic mentioned on the news on CNN and MSNBC no less than 10 times today. They are everywhere for the past few days. The mileage the freepers are getting out of this story is quite amazing. They actually have Dan Rather defending his very journalistic integrity.

Forged or not - this story has got to be the biggest flop/turn around/back-atcha in the history of election reporting.

1. they were mentioned as a source in a ChiTribune article today too

2. Maybe people will check them out

and see how radical they are.

6. oh I can see a rash of new banned users because ...

they wouldn't be as radical as the freepers want.

it will further destroy what little crediblity freeperland has.

Hey freepers, be nice to the newbies, or risk bush losing the election.

3. Woudn't it just ruin their day

if they find out the docs are legit.

4. Cool, all the gawkers

will probably crash their server.

Plus, when people try to find anything on that site, they'll end up more confused than when they started.

5. In their case, the more the better, because it makes it clear these

irrational idiots are out of their gourds.
