I apprecieate your sensitivities, but I believe what you are witnessing is the release of years of pent up anti-PC correctness. For myself, I can tell you it's actually quite liberating; sharing what I'm really thinking ...even at the risk of a little offense along the way.
It's a give and take propostion, and that is driving the PC thought police nuts. I think it's fantastic!
Oh, by the way, if you study American election history, especially 100-150 years ago, you would actually find that, all things considered, today's political discourse is quite mild by comparison!
For example, about Abraham Lincoln it was said (or printed):
* He was “a barbarian, Scythian, yahoo, or gorilla.”
* He was rebuked for for his lack of refinement and called “an unshapely man.”
* Northern newspapers openly called for his assassination long before John Wilkes Booth pulled the trigger.
* He was called a coward, “an idiot,” and “the original gorilla” by the commanding general of his armies, George McClellan.
You didn’t need to click on this thread, right?
What are you, like 12?
The Cruz campaign’s answer to Joe Biden?
I’m a “TRUMPBOT”, moron, I just didn’t think common sense was political.
This is Freerepublic, and the one posting the article is responsible for what they post. Not Salon.
But you knew that.
Have you all been drinking this afternoon? So many posters making so little sense.
“So, billyboy15 is lecturing FReepers on having a show of his kind of class. Okay.”
Yeah Sparky, but I see the meaning lost on you
I come to Freerepublic to browse the news and opinions.
What's your point? Only Donald-worshippers allowed on here now?
I take it you never found the 3 stooges funny.
What makes Carly run?
Hey, over here - a guy who doesn’t worship Mr. Trump - get him!
Heidi shoved her!
You might think this is funny until you have fallen and can’t get up............
Deus Ex Machina?
Bullshit. It's not worship. That is your distortion.
All that anyone is asking is that people support the party's nominee, or at least refrain from attacking him.
That's it. That's the phase we've reached, and if you're so far the behind the curve as to not realize that continuing to tear down the nominee only helps Hillary, then you're either too stubborn or too unaware to understand the damage that is being done by such people.
Once, again, however, nobody's worshiping Trump. That's a clumsy smear on your part.
And it's Ted Cruz who seems to be being given some kind of Messianic regard from his fanboys, which adulation he doesn't deserve at all.
Vote Trump
I missed the part where Carly falling was a rehearsed gag intended to make people laugh. Where would I find info about that?
that was just a nasty joke about the character” Damien”
Wasn’t if?
I mean auntie Carly sang and has been texting the child....
