Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevins rips media for being misinformed, irresponsible, dishonest, dumb
Canada Free Press ^ | 05/30/17 | Dan Calabrese

AWESOME VIDEO: That's gonna leave a mark.

Have you ever imagined that you were a public official who had just had it with the media’s nonsense? So you strode to the microphone and you just let it rip? You told them how dishonest they are. How ignorant. How ridiculous. What complete and utter embarrassments they are.

Did you ever imagine this was you? Or just wish that some public official who’d had enough would finally just let them have it?

Too funny that you’re following me on different threads!

"Neither he nor any moderator has interjected themselves into this discussion or nuked the thread.
A reaonsable assumption can be made from that that it doesn't meet the criteria quoted earlier in the thread as being spam or other zot-worthy attributes."

Or maybe they just like watching you try to mind read and second guess them.

Nope, not really. Just back tracked to find one of your posts on the now demonized "Canada Free Press" threads to prove a point.........Looks like I did.

LOL!

>"Who Reads FR? Over 400,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic since inception in 1996 and our forum is read daily by over two hundred thousand freedom loving citizens and patriots from all around the country, and all around the world. We're currently delivering over twenty-five million pageviews per month to over six million monthly visitors."

Great ... wonderful.

Then what's the problem with having a thread that any number of people who are veterans of this site view as worthwhile reading maybe .. possibly .. benefiting someone else outside of the site?

When we read a thread that directs us to any site, don't the owners of that site get some benefit from it. Doesn't the Wall Street Journal or the New York Times or any other site on the web use their "hits" as justification for their rates of advertising? They may not receive a "dollar per click" benefit from it, but doesn't my click on that site go to them being able to tell their advertisers, "See, we get a lot of eyes on the site. If you advertise with us, you'll get those very same eyes". What's the difference?

And there is something that has been bothering me. How do we know that the person posting articles from CFP is getting anything from it? Simply because he doesn't respond to responses? Maybe the article itself reflects everything that he wanted to say?

I don’t think that you understand. If you have a problem with Jim’s purpose for his site, perhaps you should contact him.

Or, start your own site. How difficult could that be?

And that's entirely true.

But couldn't the same be said about all of those who are so worried about "blog pimps"? Most of the arguments to that is that "Jim said that it was spam", when he actually has done nothing of the kind.

I'll go back to my earlier position: if Jim or the moderators want to ban this poster and nuke his threads, fine. Until then, the default is .. or should be .. anything the market will bear.

YAWN.

I never once demonized CFP, only busted the spammer who only posts CFP posts here for profit, without ever making a comment on his posts.

My previous posts here are public, and prove what I just said.

To all:
Funny, isn’t it, the false narrative that’s being promoted here to defend a spambot?

And those of us who take issue are part of that market.

So why do you object to us expressing the fact that we don’t want to bear it?

And that's all that I've been saying as well. I don't have any problem at all; it's humblegunner and the like that are inferring that they have a problem with what Jim allows on-site.

If Jim or the moderators want to ban this poster, fine. Let them do so and clear the matter up completely. If they don't, then that is saying something as well.

None at all. Express it to your heart's content.

But don't censor Jim Rob's site of something that I may want to view. If he wants to ban the poster and delete the thread, fine. Convince him to do so.

If you really believe that, then why are you hesitating to confront him?

Who’s censoring?

Just posting opinions.
Same as you.

Confront who? Humblegunner? I've responded to him directly several times.

Confront Jim Rob? About what? I don't care whether this thread exists or not. If it's here and I want to read it, I do so. If it doesn't look like something that interests me, I don't, along with probably 80% of the threads on FreeRepublic.

I've got nothing to confront anybody about. I come to FreeRepublic to read what's here and what interests me. If it's not here, I guess I don't read it.

Again, true. Sorry about that, got a little carried away in my argument.

I like Sean’s posts so why would I bother Jim Robinson about them?

I find it odd that you have no problem with Kaslin and his regular posting from "Townhall" or with 2ndDivisionVet and his prolific postings from everywhere on the internet.

With that being said, what is your problem with "Canada Free Press" anyway? It is a conservative Canadian website you know?

You've never explained yourself.......

What's a "spambot" but more importantly, what's your hatred of Canada Free Press?

To: humblegunner

I don’t mind Sean’s posts and the fact that he keeps posting here despite your tantrums, false accusations, and misrepresentaions would lead me to conclude that JR doesn’t mind them either.

And just now a picture formed in my mind:

It’s well into the wee hours of the morning and Humblegunner is jolted awake wondering if someone is posting something on FR that links to a blog? And then he vaults into action and springs to his trusty computer...his fingers a blur on the keyboard as he searches and then finds his quarry! The elusive Blog Pimp!

Descending upon his prey like a Screaming Eagle of Justice he pounds out a post telling that awful person that they’re a BLOG PIMP!!!

His duty obliged, the mission accomplished, Humblegunner returnes to bed to sleep the peaceful sleep that is only know by those who Deliver Internet Justice!

Myself, I will sleep well tonight in the certain knowledge that brave Humblegunner stands watch to defend the interwebz from the ungodly threat posed by blog posts.

Well done, sir Humblegunner! Well done, indeed!

With deepest and most Abiding respects,

- Megan

Again the feigned ignorance and promotion of the false narrative that this is all against CFP.

You are a bully and a liar.

Instead of the ignorant name calling, why haven't you answered my questions?
