Seems like somebody is doing some form of DNS spoofing the site. This morning on multiple browsers my mobile device would not resolve the domain name of freerepublic.com - The sites at first glance seems to be being attacked/hacked. Most likely suspect is Robert Mercer's gang. Not all the name servers are corrupted.

Try AWS route 53 DNS very fast update times and huge edge network

DNS spoofing (or DNS cache poisoning) is a computer hacking attack, whereby data is introduced into a Domain Name System (DNS) resolver's cache, causing the name server to return an incorrect IP address, diverting traffic to the attacker's computer (or any other computer).

So these clowns are messing with FR's name? Them Turkeys!

That sounds like what I am seeing from my Firefox WorldIP addon. It says:

“IP address does not coincide with the addresses of external DNS servers. Most likely that is a DNS cache poisoning attack”

Hostname: www.freerepublic.com
HostIP: 198.105.254.130, 198.105.244.130 (data center name also was different)

The host IP normally appears as 209.157.64.201, 209.157.64.200

It seems to be random as to which set of host IP I get on clicking articles. Not sure this is any value but wanted to mention it in case it was.
