I am in full agreement with you that racism has no place on my site, Free Republic, or in the debate about illegal immigration.

I too have worked on several high level campaigns as my paying job is as a consultant to GOP candidates.

The banned posters that my article mentions were not pulled for racist comments. We investigated each one and we did find a poster that was banned for a racist comment, he is not counted in our Freeper body count.

I don't know anything about you William or your site, but I do recall "American Patrol" and the disgusting hate filled garbage that used to be emailed to us from that site and others like it, and the attacks on my candidate that eventually extended to his religious faith--- despite the fact that my candidate opposed illegal immigration and had disagreements with the President over things like amnesty.

My point is, I can totally see why Jim would find a need to put his foot down.
