2. Don't you remember? Obama and his goon squads were going to supress free thought!
We were all given guns and communist manifestos at the secret meeting. Why didn't you come!?

6. Their DNS server is dead ...

That's probably their hosting provider unless they run their own name server, which is doubtful.

9. You know what will be funny? All the paranoid posts when the site is up again.
There will be tons of posts about Obama shutting down FR, and lots of tinfoil.

sarah2012- Yes, we might, Charlie.

20. My best guess is that they're being investigated and the servers have been impounded by the SS or
FBI or both.

The operators of the site did their best to delete the most incendiary comments but I'm sure that the SS and the FBI want to know who those people are that were posting alarmingly anti-Obama comments suggesting violence toward him or his supporters or other dangerous behavior.

23. Doors are being knocked on as we speak
Dawn raids are scheduled for Monday morning.
A special camp has been set up in Idaho to hold the most dangerous for the duration.
They will be force fed pork rinds and fattened up.
They will be made to listen to Maria Callas and the Village People at top volume and taught how to be interior decorators.
Hundreds of immigrants and black people will be bused in from the big cities to watch them pick the arugula.

29. I think you are definitely right on this
I was thinking this earlier.

Q: Wouldn't this make it to the press. I don't really think the SS is going to divulge everything they do, but sometimes they do make announcements. I wonder what the criteria is.

Not merely violence, but actual calls for an armed revolution. How do people get that crazy?

26. I think RimJob was waiting for this opportunity.
Even he gets tired of those idiots in his digital trailer park, some of whom even scare him. So now he can take the site down and blame it all on the election of that "socialist librul ni**er president" !!1!!!11!
