People who post racist comments are not necessarily racists. Most on FR who repeat racist statements simply don't appreciate that what they are saying is racist. It has been repeated so many times that Hispanic immigrants are...blah,blah,blah < SNIP > You're always the first to throw out the freakin' race card and paint everyone with any concern about illegal immigration with the same "racist" and "xenophobe" brush. Can I point out to you for the umpteenth time that Hispanic, Latino, Chicano, or whatever is not a race! It is an ethnicity. You're playing the leftist game by claiming it is a race and by pointing and screaming that everyone is a racist. Even if some misguided soul hated Hispanics, it is no different than hating the French or the Irish or whatever. Some people have a problem with Mexicans - now, that's not a race or an ethnicity but, instead, it is a nationality. Just like I hate the French and the Germans for all the anti-American crap they've been throwing at us in recent years, I hate Mexico too - the Mexican government. I don't go so far as to hating all Mexicans, just those who have been breaking and entering our borders. But even then, it would not be "racist" as I hate law breakers of every color, creed, nationality, religion, sexual orientation, etc. So, why don't you take all your "you're a racist xenophobe bigot" and cram it!

To be honest, I'm only aware of the flood of naysayers onto FR during the run-up of the 2004 campaign, not what recently has been going on. I'm on FR every day, so if there's been any purge in recent days, it's been pretty narrow and selective, but probably deserved.

Free Republic is not a debating forum or a place I go to to try to change the minds of others. It is a great place to get and share information, nothing more, nothing less.

"I oppose the idea of using the armed forces to patrol the borders, I don't believe that borders can be 'sealed', and I don't think that they can be 'closed' either, and for that I am labeled a supporter of illegal immigration."(stifling hysterical laughter)
To: asgardshill
It really is a uniquely circular and closed little world you run here, Jim. Newbies who find your web site and want to participate are bound by a very specific (and unwritten) set of rules: Dont express your opinion on controversial topics or youll be banned, Dont post on certain threads or youll be banned, Shut up and accept and loudly agree with anything you see posted by an old hand and/or Howlin or youll be banned, Do not presume to question an old hand and/or Howlin or youll be banned, Besides Jim Robinson, Howlin is your god and dont you ever forget it or youll be banned. I think you get the idea. I missed this little ditty the first time I scanned your post.
I think you're one of those guys who has MAJOR issues with women, especially women who have the nerve to stand up to you.
And if I had the power you people say I do, you'd have been gone a long time ago.

>I see open borders on hhe Canadian border and no uproar. Gosh, I wonder why. (sarcastic smirk :o)
Well, Einstein, that would be because hardly any illegal aliens are flooding across the Canadian border. (smirk)

"One regular supporter of the Bush immigration plan that posts under the name Bayourod, exclaimed there aren't that many of you left, and the ones that are, are mostly lightweights who don't understand the issues. Watch for the ones who call other FReepers names. They are the immature ones who are (in) way over their heads." I posted that before there were any "purgings" to my knowledge. I was referring to the number of FReepers who had simply stopped responding to the pings of the anti-immigrants. They still posted on other type threads but no longer came when pinged to illegals threads.
The anti-illegals movement was losing steam before anyone was banned.

Well, well, well!
When you and your out-of-control moderators ban people then your indoctrinated flying monkeys such as MeekOneGOP, bmwcyle, Howlin, Grampa Dave, and Coop treat them rudely and offensively and post funny kitty pictures as sport, you should know by now that bad karma is its own punishment.
My status has been elevated from pinger of the Viking Kitties to Indoctrinated Flying monkey! hahaha!
By the Asgard Shill, of all folks.
