Look, maybe we’re not as dumb as we seem. Let me rephrase that. We’re not as dumb as the FR Sanity Squad assumes. We know the difference between a fellow conservative correcting an error and a full-on Alinskyite attack. I personally have been corrected by fellow conservatives when I posted inaccurate information. The correction wasn’t made in a vicious name-calling spew of mockery and put-downs. It was just a helpful pointer in the right direction.

I have also been attacked by the Sanity Squad. They don’t, to put it bluntly, act like people who are on my side [i.e.: the side of conservativism]. They act like sharks who scent blood in the water. They go for the jugular. They want to set up a gotcha and inflict maximum damage.

AND they are cheered on by the uber-leftist moonbat Obots at the sites I have mentioned. Now how does that fit the narrative of ‘just good ole conservatives helping each other toward the truth’? If the opposing team is cheering you on while you mock, belittle and ridicule one of their sworn enemies, what exactly is going on???

It is impossible for anyone not to know whether they are being corrected by a FRiend or an enemy. A FRiend telegraphs that they’re on the your side, and you face a common foe—Obama.

An enemy makes YOU the target. It’s not about undercutting or discrediting Obama—and it’s certainly not about constructively correcting a fellow conservative. It’s about a full frontal assault on a conservative that raises cheers and atta-boys from the moonbats at Fogbow et al.

Still some tell us we’re all conservatives here. We are not. Conservatives can’t help but reveal their passion. We don’t confine ourselves to furthering Obama’s narrative on Eligibility threads. We post about many deeply felt conservative issues and views across a spectrum of topics.

Many in the Sanity Squad post on this issue and no other. Yet they are accepted with open arms by the rest of the Sanity Squad, who never raise a whisper of doubt as to their motives. So long as they’re laying into ‘birthers’ with a 2X4, just let them go hog wild.

I don’t buy it and neither do others who post on these threads. Seeing the Sanity Squad cheered on by Obama’s most ardent moonbat defenders is opening a lot of eyes. How’s that old ‘giving aid and comfort to the enemy’ thing going for you? Again, it’s not about correcting outright errors; it’s about how it’s done. When the method and tone combine in an attempt to destroy the conservative poster, it stinks to high heaven. And don’t think our noses are too dull to smell it.

Shrug.

Then we differ.
