The shot heard around the Internet has been fired on FreeRepublic.com The owner Jim Robinson and his moderators have launched a sniper style purge against members that disagree with the President’s ‘guest worker’ amnesty or support more control of illegal immigration. Free Republic is an amazing tool for those looking for a good debate and news from around the country.
The problem for the administration of the site is that their creation is allowing the participants to learn that the Bush immigration record and plans are shockingly out of line with the views of most conservatives. The management’s answer to this conflict between the majority of conservatives and the influence of the White House on their Web site has become electronic executions and censorship.
Members and readers of Free Republic would be surprised to know that many members of their community have fallen silent on the discussions about illegal immigration lately because free speech is an illusion on FR.com. They are silent because they have been banned from the Web site without warning, cause, or explanation in most cases. For weeks the moderators have been suspending and banning new members that chimed in quickly on the immigration debates.
Now this trend has broadened as the first groups of long-term users were suspended or banned this past week. Although Robinson and his staff removed many members of the Free Republic community in the first few days of the purge, those that religiously support President Bush’s immigration plan, open borders and approve of public benefits for illegal aliens remain on the forum. Those that were banned were the members that wanted more done to control illegal immigration and a strict observance to the President’s Oath of Office.
I forgot about him. Talk about someone with issues needing medication.
Thanks to Jim for keeping the ignorant racist sites off of here.
Seth...What "race" are our invading illegals? What "race" are those opposing the invasion by same?
Answer(to both questions): ALL races. How then is opposition to an invasion by criminals in any way "racist"? (from another forum) "I live in the San Gabriel Valley, I am an American of Mexican decent (3rd Generation). I have a brother in Iraq several relatives (including father and Grandfather) that were in Vietnam and WWII so I feel that my family has a right to call this great place home. As a conservative I have very strong opinions about illegal and massive legal immigration and I look forward to sharing and exchanging thoughts and opinions with the other members here. Also, I dont speak spanish so please dont try it
is this man a "racist"?
Score: 1.33
I hope Travelgirl did not recruit you, but if she did I will try not to hold it against her.
You're a 1-bit brain with a parity error
You swine. You vulgar little maggot. You worthless bag of filth. As we say in Texas, I'll bet you couldn't pour piss out of a boot with instructions on the heel.
You are a canker. A sore that won't go away. I would rather kiss a lawyer than be seen with you. You're a putrescent mass, a walking vomit. You are a spineless little worm deserving nothing but the profoundest contempt. You are a jerk, a cad, a weasel. Your life is a monument to stupidity. You are a stench, a revulsion, a big suck on a sour lemon.
You are a bleating foal, a curdled staggering mutant dwarf smeared richly with the effluvia and offal accompanying your alleged birth into this world. An insensate, blinking calf, meaningful to nobody, abandoned by the puke-drooling, giggling beasts who sired you and then killed themselves in recognition of what they had done.
I will never get over the embarrassment of belonging to the same species as you. You are a monster, an ogre, a malformity. I barf at the very thought of you.
You have all the appeal of a paper cut. Lepers avoid you. You are vile, worthless, less than nothing. You are a weed, a fungus, the dregs of this earth. And did I mention you smell? Try to edit your responses of unnecessary material before attempting to impress us with your insight. The evidence that you are a nincompoop will still be available to readers, but they will be able to access it more rapidly.
You snail-skulled little rabbit. Would that a hawk pick you up, drive its beak into your brain, and upon finding it rancid set you loose to fly briefly before spattering the ocean rocks with the frothy pink shame of your ignoble blood.
May you choke on the queasy, convulsing nausea of your own trite, foolish beliefs. You are weary, stale, flat and unprofitable. You are grimy, squalid, nasty and profane. You are foul and disgusting. You're a fool, an ignoramus. Monkeys look down on you.
You are unreservedly pathetic, starved for attention, and lost in a land that reality forgot. And what meaning do you expect your delusionally self-important statements of unknowing, inexperienced opinion to have with us? What fantasy do you hold that you would believe that your tiny-fisted tantrums would have more weight than that of a leprous desert rat, spinning rabidly in a circle, waiting for the bite of the snake?
You are a waste of flesh. You have no rhythm. You are ridiculous and obnoxious. You are the moral equivalent of a leech. You are a living emptiness, a meaningless void. You are sour and senile. You are a disease. You are a puerile, one-handed, slack-jawed, drooling, meatslapper. On a good day you're a half-wit. You remind me of drool.
You are deficient in all that lends character. You have the personality of wallpaper. You are dank and filthy. You are asinine and benighted. You are the source of all unpleasantness. You spread misery and sorrow wherever you go. You smarmy lagerlout git. You bloody woofter sod. Bugger off, pillock. You grotty wanking oik artless base-court apple-john. You clouted boggish foot-licking twit. You dankish clack-dish plonker. You gormless crook-pated tosser. You churlish boil-brained clotpole ponce. You cockered bum-bailey poofter. You craven dewberry pisshead cockup pratting naff. You gob-kissing gleeking flap-mouthed coxcomb. You dread-bolted fobbing beef-witted clapper-clawed flirt-gill.
You are a fiend and a coward, and you have bad breath. You are degenerate, noxious and depraved. I feel debased just for knowing you exist. I despise everything about you, and I wish you would go away.
I cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are. I mean rock-hard stupid. Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid. Stupid, so stupid it goes way beyond the stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid. You are trans-stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed on itself so far that even the neutrons have collapsed. Stupid gotten so dense that no intellect can escape. Singularity stupid. Blazing hot mid-day sun on Mercury stupid. You emit more stupid in one second than our entire galaxy emits in a year. Quasar stupid.
Your writing has to be a troll.
Nothing in our universe can really be this stupid. Perhaps this is some primordial fragment from the original big bang of stupid. Some pure essence of a stupid so uncontaminated by anything else as to be beyond the laws of physics that we know. I'm sorry. I can't go on. This is an epiphany of stupid for me.
After this, you may not hear from me again for a while. I don't have enough strength left to deride your ignorant questions and half baked comments about unimportant trivia, or any of the rest of this drivel. Duh. The only thing worse than your logic is your manners. I have snipped away most of what you wrote, because, well... it didn't really say anything.
Your attempt at constructing a creative post was pitiful. I mean, really, stringing together a bunch of insults among a load of babbling was hardly effective... Maybe later in life, after you have learned to read, write, spell, and count, you will have more success. True, these are rudimentary skills that many of us "normal" people take for granted that everyone has an easy time of mastering. But we sometimes forget that there are "challenged" persons in this world who find these things more difficult.
If I had known, that this was your case then I would have never read your post. It just wouldn't have been "right". Sort of like parking in a handicap space. I wish you the best of luck in the emotional, and social struggles that seem to be placing such a demand on you.

Thanks to FReeper: b4its2late
Please don't takethis personal...............
They've been trying to infiltrate FR. It isn't working. The trolls masquerade as enlightened libs preaching racial tolerance and then disappear to watch FReepers argue. That's been the MO lately.
What does Jim have to do with anything? He just tries to keep the server farm going for us.
Hey, all publicity is good publicity:) I want more articles with FR mentioned!
Then could you please enlighten us as to where you DO draw the line when it comes to racism? Since you claim bayourod is playign the race card, I think you ought to at least be honest and tell people where YOUR limits are.
So...didn't like what he said? LOL
Good riddance to anyone that doesn't have the honor to respect Jim Robinson's right to conduct this forum as he sees fit.
Kudos... -- Best line of the thread, imho.
Nope:-)
LMAO.
FReepers argue.?
Absurd FReepers don't Argue they debate sometimes heatedly the only people we argue with is the idiots who post ZOT articles ! and then we don't argue as much as STOMP
LOL
Oh hell, Jim, just more whiners. You no more support illegal immigration than I do, and we all know it. You aren't a tyrant here, either (shoot, you've put up with me here for nearly seven years........that takes the patience of Job).
You run a VERY fair site, and anyone can come here and express their opinion openly. The people who were suspended or banned, I am quite sure, asked for it by crossing the line.
You've never, ever allowed extreme special interest groups to "take over" your Web site, and I've always admired that. This is a place for reasoned......if often raucous and wild.......debate on issues.
God bless ya for it, press on, and ignore the crybabies.
M.C Hammer said it best: "Can't touch this!",
Do, do do do, ,
do,
di do. (repeat)
Was that never more clearly exemplified in the flame wars concerning "Total Recall" election, too? Hoohah, did the MSM Gods in Olympus enjoy watching that one in here... (in addition to the trolls and DUers.
Jim Robinson has an obligation to himself to lay out his rules. And to ensure, he is not unfairly targetted for "dismantling" and because some posters are going WAY over the line. No different than managing a drunk at your own house party..
Gee, it seems that the general opinion, rather strongly expressed, is against illegal immigration. I've weighed in on this with my opinions. If I've been banned, it has escaped my notice.
