I'll repost what another FReeper said who's also fed up with these creeps who project their own vile behaviors and lies onto those who simply state opinions which are different and in opposition to their own:
I've been railing against what I call the Wolf Pack that's been operating on FR for up to about 20 months ago.....beginning then with the hate posts against the Morman Church, then escalating with hate and many times profanity against the Republican Party, candidate Romney, Republicans for Romney, conservatives for Romney, religious folks for Romney, etc. etc. etc.These vicious posters are not only doing their best to turn FR into a hate/fringe site, but they consistently and slickly ACCUSE THEIR TARGETS of being the ones doing the hate and calling names....the targets who are routinely accused of being liberals, trolls, RINOS or members of DU....in other words, the Pack utilizes all the little tricks against their targets that they craftily accuse their targets of doing. It's fascinating how adept they are at doing this.
Over the 14 years I've been on this board, I've avidly and proudly referred many, many folks to the pages of FR, something I don't do any more. I'm embarrassed to do so. There are too many sick posters who are hoping for or helping Obama to win the upcoming election. I'm just hanging in here by a thread hoping that after the upcoming election the Wolf Pack will slink back into the woods and obscurity...... and that FR will return to some semblance of normalcy, class and high standards of debate again....or if it will continue to decline due to the actions of attackers who are using the hospitality of this forum to feed off the consumate hatreds of each other.
I know there are many more like me who decry the cancer of the haters on this site.....but who are too damn afraid to speak up....or they've actually become blase and numbed to the situation and just don't care. I happen to care about Free Republic.
This “purist” groupie stands in better company than you and yours.
As to all the accusations of name-calling and insults, this thread in itself stands as a testament to projection on your part and that of your pals.
Horribly so.
In fact, your pal Lakeshark is engaged in a daily insult devotional, just for me, as evidenced right here on this thread. Derision he said he will continue to dish out as long as I’m posting here.
Fine.
Perhaps if you and yours would direct all the vitriol to the guy you supposedly really hate - instead of the vitriol seen on this thread directed towards me and other “purists” as you call us, you might not be quaking in fear over Obama.
You call us ‘purists’ because we won’t compromise our faith and principles by voting for Romney (Puritans from England that made liberty possible in this country suffered the same exact insults and derision you folks are kindly dishing out for nearly similar reasons) - perhaps you might not be so afraid of Obama.
But alas, as I told your other pal here, I believe you and yours hate us more than you do Obama and the MarxoFascists.
It's not the name calling that is so tragic, it's that he is so delusional as to believe he is being "persecuted for his Christianity" than mocked for suggesting we give 1/2 of each one of our votes to Bambi. He doesn't understand how that is different from what he is actually saying, can't comprehend that it actually IS different, and to me that's more than simply sad.
If he really has a posse that is following this, I think even they are embarrassed by his claim of persecution.
Would you be so kind to IDENTIFY the Freeper?
I would imagine that some would like to reply directly as to the statement you posted.
