I know that it gives Freepers a lot of satisfaction to see us post there hate speech, even if it is to condemn it. I also am appreciative to DU for giving us a port in the conservative storm that is free from their drivel, but Freepers have proven a benefit to me on two occasions.

Twice in e-discussions with aquaintances on different issues, I have asked the person with whom I have been having a debate to look at the FR web page to see what sort of people they are, and what position they were taking on the issue. Freepers are filled with irrational hate and blind, robotic faith in ridiculous positions that they cannot support with logic (so they rely on name calling ie., Limbaugh, Hannity and Coulter). When you expose a person who is unsure about an issue to the blind hatred of the Freepers, believe me, progressive arguments become the most intelligent alternative.

FR gives the world a forum to see the hatred that we know is there.
