ABCNEWS.com has banned me twice
02/24/09 | Mel

Posted on 02/24/2009 7:28:17 AM PST by mel

Realizing that simply posting at FR is akin to preaching to the choir, I took it upon myself to post on other sites. Apparently, it was too radical because I have been banned again. The first time, I thought it was simply a computer error, so I re-registered and I was able to post. Now, this morning, I realize I must have said something way off because the same thing has occurred. I guess a 54 year old female pharmacist, who goes to church regularly, donates to animal charities, belongs to the garden club, likes to travel, read biographies, but who is also concerned about her beloved country is simply too much of a wacko to post on there.

I’ve been banned at the Tennessean’s forum while liberals can post the most hateful, bigoted, intolerant posts you can imagine and are allowed to remain. Freedom of speech is not tolerated at liberals sites.

As tough as it is for me to argue, I feel it is my duty to try and show that the entire world is not fawning all over the Messiah. There are a lot of posts on abcnew that are critical of him, there is power in numbers. I guess calling him psychotic was what did it for me the second time.

Change your IP Address and remove the cookies they gave you and start over.

I get banned all the time, then re-register and start again. The Obama digital brownshirts seem to be running wild all over the Internet with abandon, but normal folks get banned from MSM sites.

I’ll post you a thread where I gave instructions how to do this if you are interested.

"There are a lot of posts on abcnew that are critical of him, there is power in numbers."

I can't argue with your logic on that point. Even though most of their fans and readers over there are no doubt libs, there may be some value in posting opposing viewpoints. Thank you, and keep up the good work!

Would enjoy seeing you post here the comments precipitating your no-longer-participating status.

It is a complete waste of time to post any opinions at a toilet like ABC.com.
FWIW

I posted quite a few on there, so it would be hard to say which one, I really tried hard to keep it benign. I said something about how low will 401ks go before people start realizing that we are near collapse. I questioned how he was going to cut the deficit in half while on this spending spree, I said that I hoped he wasn’t the last President of the US. I guess as I got wound up, I started getting a bit more aggressive. I really didn’t think it was more radical than previous statements, of course those folks could have gotten banned also. In the last one, I called him psychotic with his goal of reducing the deficit and I think that is what got me banned. I just couldn’t help it.

You are way too un-American and un-patriotic for ABC.com. If you were a transgendered, adopted parent of 2 and a member of Code Pink and PETA, you’d be up their alley. As Sean Penn asked in his acceptance speech, “you should be ashamed and your grandkids will be ashamed!!: :-)

Next time sign up twice and get into an arguement with yourself. See which one of your “personalities” gets banned first. That would be an interesting article to write or at least a letter to the editor.

Yes that would be fascinating. For the liberal, have that personality really rude and for conservative have the person just a little bit vocal. Interesting idea.

I was banned from the Boulder Daily Camera, but in all fairness I did taunt the readers of that garbage what an unaccomplished sketchy boob their hero was.

I don’t see the article or I would copy and paste,
I said something about Geithner not being able to do his taxes, the lobbyists statement, then lobbyists appearing all over the place in his administration, I noted the continuing decline of 401ks. Gee, come to think of it, I made a lot of posts on there yesterday, nothing to outrageous however. I posted about a friend who lost job and now regrets voting for Obama. I didn’t call Obama a name like Messiah or Ears or anything like that. In my first persona, I think I did call him Ears one time.
In my second persona, I tried to be polite but express my concerns and I guess somehow I went over the top.
I think it is important to try and brave the storm and express our opinions not only on this site (this is a great place for comfort), but where the battle is and that is the media. The only name I called him was psychotic.
There were other posts that were more negative, I reckon they most likely got banned also.

Thanks.

You should wear your scarlet letter as a badge of honor.
