A lot of political insiders lurk here. Free Republic is known, noticed, and has more influence than many realize.
Have seen things in comments here that end up in the LSM, talking points, etc. within a few days. Heck, I even started a meme once in a comment that caught traction.
Remember too that includes leftscum, so we should keep that in mind while posting or commenting. Don’t give them ammo.
/not directed at you, just general statements
None of us here at FR would ever consider giving ammo to the PROG/LIB/LEFTISTS. They seem perfectly capable of shooting themselves in the foot (or head) without any help from us at all.
