“we don’t need to give the left any ammunition”
That’s what I’ve been saying about Akin’s comments and I get savagely attacked by Freepers every time for saying the EXACT SAME THING.
We know going in that the media is corrupt and deceitful, and the majority of the electorate is clueless. They will believe what msnbc, cnn, WaPo and the NY Times tells them, and vote accordingly. Therefore, we need to be forceful and honest, but not intentionally inflammatory. Free Republic is dear to my heart, as there is nowhere else for me to go to get honest information on politics and current events. Free Republic has nurtured, edified, and affirmed my deeply rooted conservative values in an educational and always entertaining manner. Conservativism is right and true. I can throw bombs with the best of them, but I find that it is ineffective for bringing people to our side. I’m all for being truthful and forceful, but don’t see the purpose in throwing raw meat to the corrupt left.
