Can anyone honestly tell the difference between Hillary is 44 and Free Republic?
I can't, the posts on each are basically interchangeable at this point. Including Hillary is 44 being full of Limbaugh talking points and praise of attacks on Obama coming right out of the McCain campaign.

The only difference I see honestly is that at least Free Republic has slightly better web design behind it.

7. At least the Freepers are consistent
While after more than a decade of smearing their goddess the Hillary is 44 people have now decided FAUX is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

2. Other than freepers hate hillary too(but are happy if the democratic contest is kept tied up)
(although I'll bet there are quite a few convert agents there, stoking their resentment against Obama, to keep spreading the poison)

8. I can
Freerepublic advocates the assassination of Obama, I haven't seen that here from any Hillary supporters yet.

Yes the tenor here has taken a turn for the worse, but I think people are underestimating just how bad it is on some other forums.

20. Then notify the Secret Service or the FBI.
I don't actually visit that site. But if they are doing that, they need to be investigated. We would be investigated here for anything similar.

23. Post that link so we can see it for ourselves
This forum has turned into a 'Destroy the Clintons' fest, just like the Freerepublic.

26. Agreed.
There have been scores of attacks on Clinton here that are straight from the freeper mythology about her.

15. I can't tell the difference between D.U. GD:P and
Free Republic....what's your point? When a group thinks it's fine to call a Democratic candidate a fucking whore it IS the same as Free Republic.

17. I didn't think that was fine and iirc, I had company.
Over the top reactivity isn't really the same as habitual rightwingery. (Or, I hope it's not.)

25. There's no place I've seen as bad as FR.
FR hates everyone, including themselves. They call Hillary a "pig in a pants suit" and Obama, "Obomba," among other equally horrible names.

22. There's another difference

24. Come now, there is a big difference between an anger-driven hate site like FR
and a delusional, anger driven hate site like hillaryis44.

38. Most days I can't
tell the difference between here and Free Republic when it comes to Sen Clinton. Crap like that goes both ways and whining about it doesn't change a thing.
