It also experienced one of the biggest internal battles to rock the site since the 2000 election of George W. Bush -- a tumultuous campaign year that nearly tore the site apart, as its founder and chief administrator first cleansed commenting ranks of Bush supporters, then, later, rallied to his support. I really don't remember that at all. I remember being invaded by McCainiacs, but I don't remember any purging of Bush supporters.

A picture is worth a thousand words! I’ve also noticed some “new” members lately who appear to be retreads of previous members who have had second thoughts about giving up their posting privileges to the best conservative forum on the web.

Anti-Rudyite behavior on FR? Thats kind of hard to believe. :^) Especially with hard core conservative credentials like those of "America's Mayor".

Finally, one popular theory holds that the Free Republic is secretly hoping for another Clinton presidency that would send its Alexa ratings soaring back to levels it hasnt experienced since its halcyon days of the Clinton impeachment, when a since-soured relationship with blog pioneer Matt Drudge and overwhelming anti-Clinton sentiment in Republican ranks helped make Free Republic one of the hottest Web sites in the nation. It hasn't recovered that luster since the Bush administration took over. Its not a conspiracy theory, its an observation, said one blogger, who describes himself as a half-hearted Mitt Romney supporter. Theyve still got a brand name that means something, but theyre not what they were in terms of real-world impact. A Hillary presidency would get them there.
LMFAO... sounds to me like some puss-bag at KOS has a friend at the NYObserver.

“I must be working too much or either nobody bothered to tell me there was a purge.”
Apparently there was some kind of purge, but I don’t know how significant it was. I got a heads up that I too was “circling the drain” here:

I see one of my favorites, PatrickHenry, is off FR now. I don’t know anything more than that.

I new here and didn’t follow it very closely.
Wasn’t the issue whether the Rudybots could use the argument that Rudy might not be very conservative but he was the only chance the Republicans have to beat the dummacrats?
JimRob warned them to stop using that argument and they refused? Something like that...

Don't worry. The Giulianiacs will grudgingly and contritely come back when The Fred is nominated, and there's nowhere else for them to go but to either the Clinton-Obama gulag, or some quixotic third-party camp.

It’s a shame that JR didn’t let pro-abortion liberals take over his conservative site with Giuliani propaganda. Boo Hoo.

I miss some of the exiles, but it’s been clear for a long time that Jim did not want any Giuliani campaigning on the forum. Perhaps the situation can be reevaluated next year after the party nominees have been chosen. We’re going to need all of the help we can get to stop Hillary.

Robinson, it should be noted, famously blasted George W. Bushs presidential candidacy back in 2000, before a dramatic late-campaign about-face that saw him emerge as one of the GOP tickets biggest supporters. Really? Who did Mr. Robinson support? I know he supported Arnold at the end of the 2003 recall election.
