Free Republic

Free Republic is an internet forum, activist and chat website that is a community of self-described conservatives, primarily in the United States. It's users, known as 'Freepers', post articles and comments pseudonymously in the forum section with a conservative view point (If they are posting an article of an opposing view point 'BARF ALERT!' is put in brackets at the end of the title), using screen names. The site was generally unmoderated until 2000, a policy central to the site's "fair use" defence in the copyright infringement litigation when it was sued by the Washington Post and the LA Times.
