What do you really know about the man, which enables you to so quickly judge him as a nutbag, nut job, Raca or what ever else you want to call him?
His threat!...or else..No way to gain support of a cause that so many sympathize with before he ever showed up..
No way to win over ANYONE who is unfamiliar with Col. Lakin’s case.
He was rude and obnoxious. I quote:
“AND do not give me that bullshit that this is not the purpose of the Tea Party either. I hear all of you frauds speak about the U.S. Constitution as you all sweep this issue under the rug? This is hypocrisy and cowardice.”
Good grief. Start at the top of this thread. Read the title. It says, "Message to Tea Party Leaders: Defend Lt Col Lakin or Be Ready for Operation ZOT!"
If you speak English as your first language, you cannot translate that as anything but a threat.
Now, read through the posts, one by one, and note this guy's overall nasty, bullying demeanor.
I don't have to know who this guy is, or what he's ever done, to judge his behavior on this thread. He was insulting, boorish, and hostile to nearly everyone who challenged his threatening post in the slightest.
It's only coincidental that he strongly supports the mission of a man who many Freepers also support. That doesn't give the fool license to spit in our faces and call us names.
If you don't have the basic moral grounding to see that he got exactly what he deserved here, then you're headed for the same fate.
As I said before, this forum doesn't suffer nutbags of ANY stripe.
