That's a good point.

A post onyx made was printed in an MSNBC article, so it's clear the media is still reading here.

Given some of the posts the other night throwing around terms that used to get freepers banned, I will not be surprised to see those posts also show up in newspapers.

Onyx's post was innocuous and did not do a dis-service to conservatives at all. Some of the posts we're seeing now are things that all right thinking Republicans would want to distance themselves from.

Consider, Hunter had to fire 2 campaign workers because of some rather intemperate remarks they made about or to illegal immigrants. Those remarks were moderate compared to the ugliness posted here.

Imagine my surprise this morning......lol. Thankfully, I didn't make my usual typos. :0)

I'm finding the ugliness is driving me from even participating... what happened to discussion? ie: Classical debate which emphasizes logic....

What has been going on here, as Rudy rises in the polls, is far from logical discussion. I'm appalled that some are so anxious to tear down a candidate that they don't care that the MSM is sitting back eating popcorn and enjoying watching the maligned FR eat our own.

You'll recall post of Jerome Corsi's were used. Not when they were made, when they'd be useful. Tony Snows were pulled, for good reason. When the Swift Boats are mentioned, there are often allusions to a right wing site. Edwards just had to fire two aids, and got some lousy press, over blog posts.

If I wanted to portray right wingers as homophobes or just general lunatics, there's plenty of fodder here.
