Wait! Please don't visit that site right now!
Google detected badware on the site you were visiting. Firefox uses Google's blacklist to warn you about "Reported attack sites." We understand that you may know and trust this site, but it's possible for good sites to be infected with badware without the site owners' knowledge or permission.
Who is StopBadware?
StopBadware is a nonprofit organization that fights badware. Google and Firefox link to us to help you understand the warnings. We also help website owners prevent and clean up badware websites.
Question: I visited the site and didn't see any badware
Many kinds of badware aren't visible or obvious, and they can install silently as soon as you visit an infected page. Google's detection systems are VERY accurate. We suggest you don't visit the site again until the owner resolves the problem! Learn more
Check the sidebar and click on the post by Jim Robinson explaining the situation. The last time I posted I didn’t get the message. We’ll see if I get it this time.
Nope. Didn’t get it.
Try reloading this topic without the www. That seems to be a workaround. That often works with our company’s “watchguard” nanny.

How do I turn off Stopbadware crap?

help stop the block!!!
Yahoo, Google and Firefox all run on the Linux search engine.
Bing runs on Microsoft server. If you sign in to Internet Explorer and use Bing for the search engine you will have no problem running Free Republic.
By the way, you should install Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer on your system. You can then pick and choose which one to use, but if one goes down you will still have a way to get on the internet.
One can never have too many places to run/explore.
The official JimRob take on the situation:

Me neither. I’m not doubting this in any way. Just reporting.
I don’t think so but it wouldn’t surprise me in the least.
I’ve been getting the same message when visiting FR all evening to now. I too use Firefox. I updated Firefox, but that was days ago.
If this report was indeed in error report, JimRob needs to get this resolved ASAP(assuming they want to keep the site)
I haven’t tried it in IE or Chrome.
Both Google and Facebook are bought and paid for literal tools of this fascistic government. Google recently dropped their old slogan” Do No Evil”. Why? Did Valerie Garrett or George Soros start to worry that Google was behaving in a moralistic, judgemental fashion? Most socialists feel better dealing with people or institutions that are proudly amoral, and make no special effort in defining what is ‘right or wrong’.

Better yet get a browser from a company that doesn’t persecute Christian employees: http://www.orthodoxytoday.org/blog/2014/04/the-rise-of-american-totalitarianism-firefox-mozillas-persecution-of-christian-ceo/
Google dropped the slogan because its new parent company, Alphabet Inc. (AI - a play on "artificial intelligence"), has a new slogan: "do the right thing."
From subsidiary robot manufacturer Boston Dynamics to search engine giant Google, AI's founders truly consider it an artificial intelligence company.
With regard to Google, 85% of search engine results are from self-learning "AI". The 15% human involvement focuses on making the AI more accurate in producing results the searcher wants.
Want to see where this is headed? Follow what futurist Ray Kurzweil is doing at Google.
Hint: It's Skynet, the Singularity, or a combination of the two if the jihadist barbarians don't send us back to the Stone Age beforehand.
The Linux search engine? That is compete and utter nonsense (along with the rest of your post).
If you have no idea what you are talking about, please don't.
The problem is not with regular users figuring out a workaround
The problem is with any new users or casual searchers being warned not to visit the site which reduces its viability as a discussion forum
Seems like a deliberate attack to me
Time to up financial support to Jim
