Sam Francis, Woolridge, VDARE, Newswithviews, ETHERZONE, ALIPAC, Minuteman Project, et al, are not welcome on FR. If you guys are going to allow the stormfront people at your rallies, you will not be welcome on FR either. I'd advise you to read the links and find out who is volunteering and promoting your rallies and for what purposes. Free Republic will not be involved with any group that willingly rubs shoulders with stormfronters.
" Free Republic will not be involved with any group that willingly rubs shoulders with stormfronters."
What reasonable measures can a website or event planner take to prevent Stormfront from linking in or attending? What evidence is there that any of these groups you have mentioned are "willingly (rubbing) shoulders with stormfronters"? Are there not links from Stormfront pointed at Free Republic? What measures do you take Mr. Robinson to assure that Freepers are not also members of Stormfront?
I can see the connection you are trying to make. What I don't see is any reasonable way that any group could avoid arbitrarily being labeled as an associate of Storm Front under these conditions. The same could be said about Free Republic if they have a link to this site and a discussion about participating here. I'm not trying to be difficult Mr. Robinson and I truly appreciate you taking time to respond, but there appears to be a problem here.
Storm Front linking to a site or talking about a group or event does not mean that the target of their attention is "rubbing elbows with Storm Front" or associated with racists or racists philosophies.
This is an interesting confllict..
On the one hand:
"Would stormfront types like to bend the largest forum on the internet to their collective will?"
Answer: Absolutely, you bet your ass. They would use it as a vehicle. Do it in a second.
On the other hand:
"How easy would it be to subvert an already tainted movement like border security with online tactics and red herrings?"
Answer: Pretty easy. You just go to a place like stormfront and post a bunch of racist crap.. then claim to be allied with the people you oppose.
We Report, you decide.
