Freerpublic is an interesting choice. They were once a champion of the hard line right but then had a sense of conscience and were divorced from the march Reichward. I was personally fascinated as it was a medium I followed post (if there was such a thing) and post-post Reich-dive. The owner, at least, came quite around and while I may not agree with him on many issues, I certainly am immensely impressed that he had the balls to draw a line in the sand and repudiate racism. Freerepublic will likely never be my favorite news source but they have acquitted themselves very well overall and I appreciate that.
