Dead Palin-Gate: What's *not* to love about Democrats?

Red State ^ | August 12, 2010 | Dave Poff

[2ndDivisionVet]

It all started on Facebook. NH State Rep. D.J. Bettencourt (R) posted an update “about the plane crash that killed former Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens.” According to Seacoast Online (Portsmouth), State Rep. Keith Halloran of Rindge (D) commented with the following:

“Just wish Sarah and Levy were on board”

Not finished, yet another Democrat (State Rep. Timothy Horrigan (D) of Durham, came back with this little gem a little further down thread:

“Well a dead Palin wd be even more dangerous than a live one…she is all about her myth & if she was dead she cldn’t commit any more gaffes.”

In the case of Halloran, according to the SeacoastOnline article, “[l]eaders from both political parties called on [the] Democratic candidate for New Hampshire’s House to apologize Wednesday for posting a death wish for Sarah Palin on Facebook.” It appears Halloran has issued the standard Democrat apology…shallow, meaningless, and insincere…but Horrigan’s fate is more grim. The Manchester Union Leader tells us he has resigned along with his shallow, meaningless, and insincere apology.

I won’t even bother pointing out the level of howls and screams we’d be subjected to in the news cycle were these insensitive fools to be Politicians with an “R” after their name. I would like to remind folks, however, that we live in truly wonderful and delicious times when the party that runs our country is made up of such outstanding members of society, with all the care and empathy and worry for their fellow man of a serial killer, that it would even occur to them to wish for someone else’s death (or revel in the notion of it). And on Facebook no less…not the sharpest tools in the shed those two…

So much for civil political discourse.

The post speaks for itself. And another Palinista wished that FReeper wtc911 would die in a house fire, that too can be proven if anyone has doubts. And then there was Virginia RidgeRunner who was strongly hinting at Rabs place of employment in an effort to intimidate him, in fact VRR was admonished by the Boss that if they persisted, they would be banned.

[mkjessup]

LOL. Do you know the names of moderators here?
Please inform all of us!
I’ll wait.

That's not what I asked you. I asked you if you were a full or part time mod here on FR. That's all. I don't know your real name, nor do I care. I asked my question originally since you were sounding off at posters as if you were speaking with "mod authority", hence the question.

So all you have to do Onyx, is tell us if "yes" you are a mod, either full or part time, or "no", you are not.

That's all. It's not complicated.

[onyx]

I don’t answer to you, but I think Lakeshark is a moderator, and I suspect you think you know the names of some moderators.

[mkjessup]

So you’re evading a simple yes or no question then?

That by itself is telling.

As for your statement that you “think” Lakeshark is a moderator, why would you volunteer such information that was never asked for? And for the record, I have no idea who the mods are in reality, why would you state that you “suspect” that I “know” the names of some moderators?

For a simple yes or no question Onyx, you’re spinning as madly as any liberal ever did.

As for your statement “you don’t answer to me”, you answer me all the time, you respond to my posts without hesitation and without equivocation. You are quick to admonish me or anyone that you deem to be acting inappropriately, but when you are queried as to whether you ARE in fact a full or part time mod here on FR, you suddenly become as recalitrant as a member of the mob on the witness stand.

Your non-answer speaks volumes.

[onyx]

You're entire postings and concerns are "very telling" --- what is this now, day two or three? ROFL.

mkjessup, the "concern troll."

I haven't answered your idiotic question for several reasons.

First of all, were I a moderator, I think I would be forbidden to tell you. (DUH).

Secondly, it's none of your business, regardless.

Thirdly, I don't usually reply to you or to pings that include you. "Kiddie hell" is mot my interest, you're like a bi-polar guy: on meds one day, gone to hell the next, running with the pack, playing the role of nasty parent with a baseball bat and all the accompanying foul language. Who's the victim poster today? Gang-up on that poor soul, ping the posse, ping Jim and secretly hit abuse, hammer the poster, zing, zing, zing. GROW the hell up!

Fourth and lastly, I've enjoyed watching you worry about NONSENSE! The very idea that I am a moderator is NONSENSE!

I post my own thoughts all by myself, and admonishments to you from me are just that. Member/poster to member/poster.

FR is a huge forum, with interests and room for all. It's easy for me to avoid you all except for the times when you come trolling onto threads for the purpose of inciting and causing trouble. Individually, I like most of you guys, but when you go on attack, it's ugly and IMO, it reflects ugly on FR. If you don't see that, then you prove me right: it's your "blood sport" --- anonymous keyboard old men, still acting like juveniles in the locker room.

[CAluvdubya]

You know, some of these posts are sure demanding. Sounds like someone is having yet another conniption fit over something. You must have hit a sore spot.....again

The consistency of the antagonism of certain posters is telling.

[onyx]

LOL. *sigh* Obama is burning our Republic and the emphasis is this crap?

Are you a moderator? Oooops, I’m sorry for asking. I know you can’t tell.

[CAluvdubya]

I could tell you, but then I'd have to....well you know the rest.

Yes, our votes are being nullified, our country is losing her freedoms and this idiocy is front and center.

[onyx]

Yes, our votes are being nullified, our country is losing her freedoms and this idiocy is front and center.

The very day that idiocy isn't front center, I "might" start to believe that we're all conservatives solely interested in defeating the Marxist and his party IN POWER.

[mkjessup]

Well that was certainly a voluminous response, and certainly deserving of a response of my own.

You're entire postings and concerns are "very telling" --- what is this now, day two or three? ROFL.

I asked a question. Nothing complicated. You chose to make it so.

mkjessup, the "concern troll."

So now asking a simple, innocuous question constitutes 'trolling'? OK.

I haven't answered your idiotic question for several reasons.

I don't think it was 'idiotic' at all. You've not heard of that saying "the only dumb question, is the one you don't ask?"

First of all, were I a moderator, I think I would be forbidden to tell you. (DUH).

You 'think', translation = you don't know. Perhaps you should ask someone that hypothetical question, hopefully they won't consider your inquiry to be 'idiotic'

Secondly, it's none of your business, regardless.

I think it is my business, and every poster's business to know whether or not you, one of FR's premier school marms (not to mention the keeper of the Sarah Palin ping list), does in fact exercise the authority of a moderator, either full or part time. That is not an unreasonable question to ask, nor should you be responding to such a question with such hostility when my inquiries were made politely and with respect. Sorry you were unable to reciprocate in kind.

Thirdly, I don't usually reply to you or to pings that include you. "Kiddie hell" is mot my interest, you're like a bi-polar guy: on meds one day, gone to hell the next, running with the pack, playing the role of nasty parent with a baseball bat and all the accompanying foul language.

You sound like quite the judgmental person Onyx. Especially for someone who doesn't know a bloody thing about me.

Who's the victim poster today? Gang-up on that poor soul,

You might ask some of your fellow Palin fans that same question "Who's the victim poster today?", you know as well as I do that anyone who speaks the slightest critical word about that former Governor from Alaska invariably encounters the FR equivalent of a swarm of killer bees, swooping down to call that unfortunate poster every name in the book, hounded unmercifully, labeled a 'troll', don't try to tell me it doesn't happen, because you know it does.

ping the posse, ping Jim and secretly hit abuse, hammer the poster, zing, zing, zing. GROW the hell up!

As the leader of the Palin Rabid Response Team, you know a few things about a posse yourself. You ping Jim at the drop of a hat, especially if you think someone is "out of line" as YOU define it, and if you're not a mod as you have implied, your definition of "out of line" is no better than anyone else's. And your own posse is no stranger to hammering posters, and you know that too. You hurl invective with the best of them, and you seem to think that you are above reproach in that regard. I'm here to tell you that you are not.

And by the way Onyx, how would YOU know if I "secretly hit abuse"? That's something only a mod would know.

Fourth and lastly, I've enjoyed watching you worry about NONSENSE! The very idea that I am a moderator is NONSENSE!

So your answer to my original 'idiotic' question then, is "No"? A simple clarification will be fine, and I'm sure it won't break any FR rules.

I post my own thoughts all by myself, and admonishments to you from me are just that. Member/poster to member/poster. FR is a huge forum, with interests and room for all. It's easy for me to avoid you all except for the times when you come trolling onto threads for the purpose of inciting and causing trouble. Individually, I like most of you guys, but when you go on attack, it's ugly and IMO, it reflects ugly on FR. If you don't see that, then you prove me right: it's your "blood sport" --- anonymous keyboard old men, still acting like juveniles in the locker room.

Again, how very judgmental of you. So may it be concluded that in order to meet your high standards of what a FReeper should or should not do, all we would have to do is to cease any and all criticism of the Palin cultists who will brook not one unkind word of their heroine? Isn't that what this is really all about? You speak so eloquently about how what I (or others) post reflects "ugly on FR", how about a FReeper (Lakeshark) who jokes about another FReeper keeling over from a heart attack? Where is your sense of outrage about that? Oh wait, it would only be ugly and outrageous if I, or StevenJohnBanker, or Rabscuttle385, et al, had joked about Lakeshark having a heart attack, right?

And speaking of our resident Lakesnark, if it is true, that you would be forbidden to confirm or deny that you are a mod, why on Earth would you have made the statement earlier that you "think" Lakeshark is a moderator?

Quite the breach of protocol, wouldn't you say? Or were you just joking? Lakeshark likes jokes, but you will have to wish someone dead before he finds it amusing.

You have provided much to consider tonight Onyx, foremost in my mind is why a simple question like the one I asked of you would provoke such an intense and over-the-top response.

A most illuminating post you've made Onyx. C'ya around.

TRY following the posts, instead of pinging Jim to try to get rintense swatted. Most interesting is that you replied to the exact post that you're trying to call-out rintense for!

Grow-up and stop trying to incite trouble.

You pinged the big dog again, would a response from a lowly Admin Moderator be ok? If so, no action will be taken on your complaint.

You know Onyx, you're sounding more and more like you're an actual mod here on FR, so I pose the question:

Are you a full or part time mod? I think other posters have a right to know that, to know if you have a potential 'edge' or advantage over everyone else?

Looking forward to your response.

It was such a hilarious thread watching you two melt down.

The post was hilarious, anyone but your silly ping posse will read that thread and laugh thmeselves silly at the two of you.

And then pretending to be so outraged....

*Oh the drama*

"Jim, Jim, come save us from the horrible Palinites, help us, help us....they're sooo mean. We need our diapers changed and our boo boos kissed, waaaaaaaaaaaaah, waaaaaaaaaaaaaah, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah........"

You are one of the top whiners here at FR, but SNIVEL? You are THE number one sniveler hands down. Congrats!

mkjessup, the "concern troll."

They have their own specialty publication now, you know. ;)

[Lakeshark]

It's so cute watching you two be the only ones that like each other...........heck no one else does, and that's on an anonymous forum!!!!

How's that life going Stephengonebonkers? Did you buy one yet? Maybe buy one for mrmesseduphispants too, he needs it just as badly as you do.......

[stephenjohnbanker]

I retired 4 years ago. What is your excuse? Wifey too much for you? Does she flog you?

Something has to explain why you are the # 1 Sniveler on Free Republic

[Chunga]

A most illuminating post you've made Onyx. C'ya around.

Jessup...these recent posts to onyx are so pathetic I have to laugh.

"Are you a full or part time mod here on FR?

A simple yes or no will do."

Pathetic! Pathetic, pathetic pathetic!

PA-THE-TIC!

[Lakeshark]

Excuse for what?

Letting you know what a whiner and pathetic fool you are for posting your whines here 24/7?

It's just a natural talent........
