Oh, yes. So Right. I’ve never been one to call abuse but some of the posters on the Perry threads were so NASTY, believe me, sexual innuendos, lies about Perry’s stand on immigration, it was horrible.
I was amazed that it was tolerated.
I am not talking posts that argued against Perry about actual positions or things he had done or not done.
These were all just odious, repetitive hate posts.
Started (in my opinion) by Cain lovers and allowed because the site was officially Cain lover at that time.
It signaled the death of civility here for me.
I was thrilled when Perry decided to toss in his hat. In my opinion, he did himself in with his embarrassingly poor debate performances. People concluded, rightly or not, that he was a George W. Bush clone complete with the Texan accent and the seeming lack of the ability to speak well. I HAD hopes for him, and he may yet be our nominee in the future, but he didn’t have what it took to beat the “teleprompter” in chief and it was painfully obvious. A little more practice and 2016 may be his time.
