Remember this guy and his awesome video?
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2091885/posts
Well, I along with some other FReepers invited him to join FR after seeing his YouTube videos. He did, posted something fairly innocuous about the Hadron Collider, and promptly got banned...
Can I come hunt on your property? Please?
Machosauce, since your account was reinstated, I must say that your videos are fantastic. I especially enjoyed the light saber duel between you and Barrack. What astonished me is that unlike many Youtube videos, the choreography was well done with the fighting.
Awesome!
Outstanding!
I watched his "Election 2K H8" video and left a comment about the support he's getting here at FR. Good to hear that he's got the courage of his convictions, and will return to posting.
Hats off to Jim Rob and Zo for displaying real conservatism in this.
Wow I just discovered this guy. I agree FREE machosauce!
So what’s up with this?
Here’s his thread:

His account was restored yesterday.
Great news ...thanks Jim!
Smiling at you...
No.
we’re 2nd amendment people and pro-gun, but no hunting here (and all the animals and birds know it — it’s their gathering place).
We never feed wild animals/birds, but their welome to eat anywhere except for in the gardens and the various landscaped areas.
Give it up, Randy. You’re backing yourself into a corner. Don’t climb out on a limb you can’t get back from (excuse the mixed metaphors!). The situation is in hand. Leave it at that. Best to you.
Thats all right........I wasn't serious about it anyway.
Where is "here" anyway that you see pheasant out your back window?
I am ashamed of this. It would be VERY INTERESTING to know who got him banned.
“The hatred I want to deal with now, is some hatred that came from Free Republic.”
“Wow man, these FReepers threw me under the buss like Obama did his grandmother.”
“It’s people like you FReepers that substantiate peoples notions when the say ‘Ah, those liberals and conservatives, they’re just alike.' It’s you people that are the biggest detriment to the conservative movement. Unapproachable, judgmental snobs. It’s people like you who make the Republican party look exclusive.”
“Its people like you who make it hard to include the non white vote, and the female vote.”
“You see the non whites, the females and the undecided’s are reluctant to elect the Republican party because they think the Republican party is for rich, privileged, stuffy white male, like yourself.
And they think you owe HIM an apology?
Unbelievable.
This gentleman MachoSauce: the very trait that makes him as a conservative a point of light (his passion and energy) is the selfsame trait that gives rise to the comments he made about FR (exclusive). If we refuse to overlook comments he made in the heat of passion, we only validate the very things he said in the FR video. Consider that carefully.
FRiend,
I'm praying that all of us fathers would speak with the boldness and clarity with which you have been blessed.
May the Lord Jesus Christ magnify His blessings upon your words - and may all of us fathers learn to lead our families in daily worship of the risen Christ!
Long story. He’s been reinstated.
I would agree in some cases, but not this one.
His response was way beyond a reasonable angry retort at FR for a banning that was an over reaction to a post that did fall outside the guidelines for what is appropriate here.
Not apologizing for basically accusing us of being a bunch of bigoted, racist, sexist snobs based on no evidence, would show a lack of character and common civility on his part.
I'm not saying he had no cause to be angry, he certainly did. But then he spoke in anger, not just to us, but for the entire world to see, and made outrageously viscous comments that were completely uncalled for and lacked any supporting evidence.
Most people would apologize in such a case. And I believe one is appropriate here.
Go back and watch that video again - he did apologize for his previous rant about FR. There’s message bubbles all over that video saying all is good.
I think he should edit the video and pull the beginning out - if that’s possible on YouTube.
I haven’t followed this much and can’t see youtube stuff. Anyone who couldn’t see that would have no idea what race or sex oe age he was. And those who could see youtube, would see the talent that has given rise to his support. Because of that the use of the race card on his part is disappointing, demonstrating a lack of analytical thinking.
"All is cool" and "Feud is over", is not an apology or a retraction.
He needs to publicly retract his slanderous statements, and be specific as to what points he's retracting.
An intellectually honest person would.
Exactly my point.
He was far too eager to jump to the tired old liberal party line rote accusations of conservatives, without any evidence to support them, in attempt to slander and belittle an entire group of people.
Serious lack of judgment in this case.
I stand by my statements, and a public apology and retraction is due FR.
