If you want to destroy a political forum then turn it into a conspiracy theories haven. This is exactly what is Democratic Underground known to us as Dummyland. At DU the lefties are running all type of insanely delusional conspiracy theories ranging from election fraud, to Bush is going to kill or imprison every Democrat in the country.
On the other hand Free Republic is the best political forum on the internet because the vast majority of posters use logic and facts to express their opinions and comments regarding a particular subject. Unfortunately in the last two months there have been a flood of threads on Free Republic where the conspiracy theory crowd have been living it a large. These threads deal with the illegal immigration issue and many of the posters on these threads used every conspiracy theory under the sun. These insanely delusional conspiracy theories tell us how President Bush is going to Mexicanize America, how he is going to destroy the American economy, how he is going to annihilate our culture and on and on and on. President Bush has been savagely attacked by these posters and he was called all type of names. These threads are being now the Bush bashing forum on Free Republic.
Leading the brutal attack against President Bush are the Buchanin loyalists and 3rd party voters. Yes you can go ahead and show a poll on FR where the majority disagrees with President Bush guest worker program but the vast majority of those are not hatefully attacking President Bush. The hate campaign is lead by a fringe group on FR and this fringe must no tarnish the reputation of this great forum.
We can disagree with President Bush on his illegal immigration plan but we should do so in a constructive and logical way. We must not allow these threads of immigration issue to be hijacked by the fringe that will turn into a “Bash Bush Party”, spread insanely delusional conspiracy theories on Bush plan to destroy America, and spew a lot of racism directed toward Latinos. In the same way the fringe is going after any freeper who disagrees with their Bush bashing and crazy conspiracy theories and accuse him or her of being a supporter to illegal immigration, wanting to destroy the nation, helping the terrorists, and on and on and on.
We should always remember that the Republican Party is the ruling majority because we were able to get ride of the fringe in our party, the Buchanin loyalists and extremists who turned into 3rd party voters.
Free Republic is the greatest of all political forum on the internet, let us keep it this way and let us prevent it from being hijacked by a fringe of Bush basher and insanely delusional conspiracy theorists.
They have all the makings of a Democrat.
I don't believe that crazy crap. I just do not understand his position on immigration.
That's simply YOUR opinion.
I no longer waste time with folks like this character jveritas and company, who engage in the liberal smear tactics of mindless emotional hyperbole, name calling, and NAACP style charges of racism and bigotry.
Their posts on immigration wouldn't even look conservative over at the democrat underground.
And I wouldn't vote for Buchanon if he were the only guy on the ballot, but that doesn't stop them from using the smear.
Just because I'm a Bush supporter doesn't means I have to roboticaly agree with everything he does, and that includes his immigration (or lack of) policy.

Go to hell.
The border issue is not a conspiracy theory. The border has been an issue long before 9/11, the conspiracy is people are quick to lay all the blame on Bush's shoulders, and the theory is incorrect. I'm sure Bush has a perfectly good reason to do what he's doing, and I have no clue why.
Oh, put away your Race Card.
More self righteous sanctimonious politically correct BS from a freeper who is deluded into thinking they are a conservative.
We must be nice to Latinos?
What? Only white anglos have behavior standards? That sounds racist to me.
We can only criticize W by your measure?
WHEN THE SAM HILL EFF DID SO CALLED CONSERVATIVES GET SO TOUCHY FEELY AND HAVE TO PANDER SO AND WAG THEIR SELF RIGHTEOUS LITTLE FINGERS AT THOSE OF US LESS "ENLIGHTENING"?
SCREW YA'LL
I INTEND TO DIE AN UNREPENTANT KNUCKLEDRAGGER!
FR's popularity is like a damned cancer.
Bush-Basher has been a term increasingly used by the Open Borders Lobby here on FR. Kinda like MECHA types screaming racist.
Careful, don't ask too many hard questions....the OBL breaks easily.
I really don't think there's anything that can be done unless a poster actually violates one of Free Republic's posting guidelines. I don't think starting a drive would really get anywhere on this forum. And yes, I do believe that your understanding of what a Bushbot is is pretty accurate.
Haven't been around that long, still haven't figured out the cliques yet.
Degenerate his thread like they do ours? Good idea!
I like cheese.
Doubt they were banned for being Buchanan supporters. I voted for Buchanan once and I'm still here. He's gone absolutely nuts lately, but he's the only one who ever addressed the Illegal Immigration issue. Supported him then, but not necessarily now...
My guess is if they got banned, they probably got suckered by a thread like this and said some things that got complaints.
Really transparent and weak effort this one is though...
:)
Hope you and yours had a lovely Christmas,old friend.
And you think that's a BAD thing? I thought it was the American way to vote for whatever party (and candidate) you choose.
Having a bad day/night? :-)
Yes,a vast swathe of Patsies were banned in 2000.And no,Pat's "DEATH OF THE WEST" is just yet another of his ridiculous polemics,devoid of reason and fact.
and.....?
So you're a keyboard commando level 45 and I can never hope to reach your level of verbosity?
Lemme guess, honorary member of the OBL?
jveritas taking a nap in your clubhouse?
I've got something for you to pet.
