Free Republic yanking comments!
A very interesting phenomenon has erupted over on FR today. The site mods are removing any and all comments questioning the newest and most recent “signups”, ALL apparently from China in the aftermath of the 7.8 Earth Quake that hit Sichuan and Chengdu China last Monday.
It is disheartening and even in my opinion ridiculous of the Mods to do this.
Folks are questioning the dozens of new signups who are not asking for help, merely commenting on the problems in China. Yet, we question this sudden in-rush of posters and are having our comments summarily removed.
What has happened to the people at FR? Are they now under control of a bunch of Liberals? Is JimRob no longer in charge?
Stay tuned to see who gets banned next.

Thanks for posting here. They banned you as a “troll”? Well, it is possible you said something to upset the moderators.
Sorry for the delay in your comments showing up, but all comments are moderated here now and I don’t allow people to post directly to my blog without my having read the messages first.
Thanks for visiting.
