Romney Supporters Banned From Free Republic

Free Republic founder Jim Robinson has a message for supporters of Mitt Romney: go away.

In an email to POLITICO this afternoon, Robinson admitted that the site routinely blocks Romney supporters from posting -- and offered no apologies for the practice:

Free Republic is a pro-life, pro-family, pro-gun, pro-small government, pro-constitution, pro-liberty site. Governor Romney is none of the above. His record is that of an abortionist, gay rights pushing, gun grabbing, global warming advocating, big government, mandate loving, constitution trampling, flip-flopping liberal progressive with no core values. That and the fact that he is the chief architect and advocate for ObamaCare disqualifies him for any consideration whatsoever on Free Republic as a potential nominee for the presidency.

On the one hand, it's his toy, and he can play with whomever he wants. On the other hand, its a good idea to balance the crazy with the merely deluded from time to time...

14. WHEN Romney is the nom'nee,
   
True Believers are not in charge of the Republican Party. GOP leaders don't have even as much principle as you'll find inside a freeper.

I'm loving the chaos. But honestly this is good for us... the crazier right they go, the better.

Like the last election, the Independents will determine who wins, who do you think they'll vote for?

My opinion on this? I'm going to support whomever the nominee is, it's the Supreme Court people, and I'd rather Romney make an appointment than Obama.

I've said for years that in some ways Free Republic and DU are like two sides of the same coin, as far as how the sites are run, neither site allows dissent.
The fact that they bash FR for doing what Skinner does, makes me laugh.

This coming from a site where "Name Removed" is consistently a top-ten poster? They'll need a bunch of new windows for those glass houses.
