So, if you can't make money off of Jim Robinson's website, paid for by his volunteer donors, you're outta here?

Well, bye.

Who is holding the gun to your head and “forcing” you to click on a link to a blog?

Cluttering up my favorite site with that crap, is forcing it on me, and I don't like it. I contribute to this place regularly, and I consider it mine as much as Jim Robinson. He just takes care of all the headaches for me.

*snort* giggles

Sending that to Hubby.

ROFL!

He also manages the Bloggers for Sarah Palin blogroll and is a contributor to Polical Lore, Publius’ Forum, and Palin Twibe.

Interesting. Friends with the two zotted blogpimps Mobile Vulgus (Warner Todd Huston) and Suvroc10 (M. Schenker)?

Jim will have to speak for himself, but I don’t think anyone here has a problem with Conservative bloggers. The problem is with blogpimps and wasting people’s time.

Be gone, blogpimps is my motto!

“This guy’s decision to withhold posting his blog material to FR is bringing us down.”

That’s not the worst of it.

My hair’s getting split ends.

[curse that Gunner guy!]

Can you imagine if there were blogs during the Reich? Hilter woulda been a pimpin' Mein Kamph.

I bet he would get a lot of hits too. Wasn't Mein Kamph required reading in many schools?

[BunnySlippers]

All blogpimps need to do is post their article in its entirety rather than excerpt. And post it in “Bloggers and Personal”.

Is that too much to ask.

If they did that and added a "if you liked this, please click through to my site for more like this" at the end, I'd bet they get more hits and a lot less grief.

[ZX12R]

I’ve had a link to FR proudly posted in the sidebar of my blog.

Gee...you have a blog. I would have never guessed.

What?!?!?!?!!? You mean you want to deprive them of their hits?!? Why? Why?!?!?! You just must hate all conservative bloggers! You meanie!

anonymous cowards
12 TIMES!

I noticed that!
He was so busy writing “coward” that he couldn’t even fit me in for honorable mention!

I suggest this post be saved as proof positive that some newbies do indeed crawl out from under a rock...

I have never thought of Free Republic as a blog and for that I am grateful.

I help keep Free Republic Blog pimp free by making regular contributions.

Before my experience on that good-for-nothing website, I thought only the liberals at websites like DailyKos and Democratic Underground were the epitome of raw, unadulterated viciousness and off-the-chart hatred. Now, I know better.

Good luck pimping your blog there. Let us know how it works out for you.

While I’m not applying for an executive position in the Anonymous Cowards group, it’s rather hard to read a rant like Schenker’s without wanting to find a good sized 2x4 cluestick to whack those such as him up alongside the head to facilitate bringing a clue to their conscious attention. So I couldn’t resist going over to the “Publius Forum”, having never been there before, just to get an idea of the place.

Fortunately for me and the security of my computer, I run Linux and Firefox with NoScript, AdBlock+, Ghostery and other fine products that act as cyber condoms for my machine. Wandering about through all the ads that weren’t blocked, I did find the following on the ‘about’ page. While you read it, please try to suppress any major giggles, gleeful snorts or guffaws that blatant hypocrisy and bigotry usually bring forth:

>> “This is not a “democracy,” folks. It’s benevolent dictatorship. If I don’t like you or your comments, they will be deleted. To those left-wing hatemongers out there, people don’t come to this webpage to read your misspelled, grammatically challenged drivel. They come here to read the main works, not your fine efforts to reveal your own stupidity. If in your comment you curse, you’re gone. If you act like a jerk, you’re gone. If you start calling people Hitler (as you loony leftists are wont to do at every turn), you’re gone. Chances are if you are relatively sane, your reply will stay. But if you act like a normal liberal — i.e. a distempered, half educated, jerkoff — you’ll be canceled, deleted, blocked, and with malice.

Whine all you want. I just don’t care. You want to spew your braindead, garbage go back to the DailysCuz or the Dummicratic Underground or re-join the profane morons at Wankette. You’ll fit in better there. Here we want elevated discussion not your normal liberal blather. If you can’t be civil and intelligent, lefties, you aren’t welcome here.

So, don’t be all shocked when I delete you and your left-wing blah, blah, OK? My board, my rules. Don’t like it, lefties? Here’s an idea… DON’T come back.” <<

So, Marc Schenker, I don’t care who you write for, part-time or full time. If you write the material, YOU own the copyright, not the Examiner or Publius Forum, or whomever. YOU have the complete rights and authority to post the full content on Free Republic of your rants, puerile diatribes or whatever. Don’t hide behind the Examiner legal smokescreen that you have to post only an excerpt. YOU, Sir, are pimping your blog on Free Republic and Mr. Robinson has every much right on HIS site, as Mr. Huston does on his, to condone or facilitate comments pointing out that you are indeed pimping your blog posts— which are true.

Don’t like it? Then you really should heed the words of Mr. Huston, quoted above, which apply just as much at FR and from Mr. Robinson: “Whine all you want. I just don’t care.”

Oh, and just a quick note. Your dermatologist called and said your skin thickening cream that everyone prescribed for you is on backorder. Maybe you can just try to grow some balls in the meantime.

Some of the posts by this “blog police” against me included “You seem obsessed with the sex and men. Strange, unless you’re a queer”; “ROTFLMAF at your dumb ass! Is your face turning blue or red ‘lil feller?”; “He seems very angry. That’s quite understandable for a postpubescent boy under 5′ 4″. From his keyword spam, he seems to be suffering from delusions of grandeur as well”; “Lol. You are one crazy blog pimp”; “Cut back on the retard pills. You’re starting to drool again.” Thus, anyone can see why I chose to defend myself in the face of that vicious assault by those cowards.

Sheeeyit. That's nuthin'. He (she?) oughta try taking on the Legalize Drugs wackos.

Begone crybaby. You're taking up valuable bandwidth.

Muzzle?

What muzzle?

I just gave him his daily vitamins embedded in a yummy glob of cream cheese that was gooped around my finger.

He gently, carefully took the glob and then politely sucked my finger totally clean.

I didn’t even have to go wash my hand.

He’ll gnaw chunks off an 8 oz strip steak with his razor-sharp molars, bit by bit until there’s only a tiny piece left and never once make contact with my fingers.

He’s a very safety conscious pup.

For the cognitive dissonance effect.
