Postings on the FreeRepublic site often urge readers to call the employers of liberals to report their anti-war sentiments

Hmm. I have been a member of this forum and I don't recall seeing anything like this. If it has happened, it is quite rare and hardly qualifies as "often".

We do call people on their actions. We do call for boycotts of products/companies that are represented by people who are not acting in America's best interest.

The Hollyweird crowd has a right say what they want. It is freedom of speech.

We have freedom to peacefully assemble.

If the Hollyweird crowd thinks this is a massive conspiracy, well, fine. It's assembly, nonetheless. The internet has finally given "the little guy" the ability to share points of view that would have otherwise been disconnected. That we can assemble more people, more rapidly, and more cohesively, that makes it wrong? That makes it facist? The freedom to assemble is facist? The freedom to protest other peoples actions which you disagree with is facist? Pardon?

What the left is concerned about is our ideas getting to the masses. In the the arena of ideas and in the arena of what makes common sense, the left doesn't have a prayer...and they know it.

EAGLES UP!

On that thread there were a few posters who said they were calling employers -- about the people on the ANSWR list who were in the military.

In the media, that becomes often. The poor writer is too dense to comprehend and contrast the actual numbers of posts and replies on FR daily to the few on that one thread.

I would say the author is often wrong.

In the past that wasn't the case. It is now and because of that they are disintegrating. Just as Mad Howie Dean moved all the Dim Pres. candidates further to the left Micheal Moore has reframed and restaged the leftist stance to the absolute fringe of the left. Now all debate from the left has to proceed from that point as its base.

More moderate Dims have been disenfranchised from the process by the kooks and the press. Kerry is incapable of wresting it back partially because he's already so far left himself but mostly because he's as exciting as day old oatmeal. The only thing he can say that resonates across the Dim spectrum is "I was in Viet Nam."
