FreeRepublic censors posts!

Here is proof!

[Darksheare]

YOU AGAIN?!
I thought you'd learned from last time!
Someone wishes to speak to you

[Darksheare]

Taist?
Don't you mean 'taste'?

[Darksheare]

BZZZZT!
They did have 2.75 inch bazooka with which to attempt to take on tanks, along with M-10 tank destroyers, and teh M-36.

"Nothing like a self-proclaimed patriot screaming after his hypocrisy has been revealed."
I said QUOTE me.

You really do NOT understand English, do you?
I served in uniform and have a heck of alot mroe respect than you do.
I'm not teh one who said that the WWII anti-armor weapons were a joke.
Some joke.
Especially considering that FRance got to continue being a snotty French speaking hole because of those 'jokes' as you put it.
And you say that you respect the soldiers?
How about BUYING a clue.

LOL. I heard you visited this ZOT thread and had to come see. :-)

[Darksheare]

Alright, who told?
*chuckle*

He doesn't seem to realise he's getting worked up over a 'gif' image.
That's like getting worked up over the war games and simulations of WWII battles that the US Army conducts.
That's like getting upset over the pixel soldiers in a computer game attacking each other.
Equating a computer generated obviously not anatomically correct animated gif image with IED's in Iraq as he does in post 129 is about as far out there as one can get.
I suppose he advocates the removal of all WWII strategy sims as well?
*chuckle*
Egads, this is bad.

I was wondering: All these trolls don't seem to understand that this is NOT a site for debate between the Libs and Conservatives, so how about putting a statement like, "Note: While discussion between conservatives is welcome here, we are not interested in debating Liberals" on the homepage, next to the famous, "Free Republic is an online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. We're working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America. And we always have fun doing it. Hoo-yah! "?

Just a suggestion. I really don't mind jumping on these Zot threads, or even just reading them (obviously). In fact I enjoy them! Just thought though that it might shut up these idiots once and for all.

GREAT site though, nonetheless! Keep up the good work!

Thanks,

Any idea what was Removed by Moderator?

Hey, those were posts between Darksheare and IGOTMINE I thought, I swear they were just there an hour ago. Hmmm, they weren't bad or rude really, wonder what happened?

[IGOTMINE]

I realize full well that this is a .gif representation. What apparently can't penetrate your depleted uranium DENSE skull is that it is no more appropriate than a representation of a successful IED attack in Iraq.

Unless, of course, the soldiers that were killed in 1944 mean less to you than our soldiers of today.

I note none of you have responded to that point, which illustrates exactly how vacant you are.

[CathyRyan]

Want free censorship, pay the bills.

[Darksheare]

Let me ask you: Do you oppose WWII simulations and or strategy games?

[Darksheare]

"What apparently can't penetrate your depleted uranium DENSE skull"
Well, your post with the word 'twit' got pulled.
Let's go for one more, shall we?
KNOCK IT OFF.
The only one being DENSE here is you.

You fool!
We told you not to touch FR!
