You know, I am sick to death of these people using us and then crapping on us when we DARE to criticize them.

Criticize what he says; I am sure he could take that. But ad hominem daily insults of his intelligence is, as Sean says, just plain vicious.

By the way, FR is not really a "we." It is so big and open to so many different individuals. I too felt slapped by his dismissal of us as a "we" because I consider myself a good Freeper. But there will always be people who don't maintain decency and civility here, and someone in the public eye will be more influenced by the nastiness of that person than by the awesome selection of news and commentary here.

Decency and civility......abstract values of weakness regarding a powerful social tool. Ridicule is a very effective social tool of the Left. They've been using it for decades. Does the entertainment industry ring a bell?

Because some may not have the stomach for it, step aside and let others have at it!

Sometimes life isn't pretty.

Why is that!? I would think that a successful, relatively intelligent person "in the public eye" would be more discerning than the average guy or girl. Eh?

I would think that a successful person "in the public eye" would be able to more easily focus on "the awesome selection of news and commentary here."

What do you say?
