Free Republic cut its eyeteeth FReeping liberal politicians. Our chapters followed the Clintons, Gores, and Kerrys all around the country and FReeped them at every opportunity. Our FReeps are legend and the harrowing stories are permanently recorded for posterity on news reels and in several books. We’ve never met a liberal that didn’t deserve FReeping!

I am well aware of that, unfortunately the Rooty Rooters think that their liberal should get a pass because he happens to have an "R" after his name.

Furthermore, if our Republic was to ever adopt the attitude that ANY politician, liberal or conservative, Republican or Democrat, was somehow immune from protest then our Constitution wouldn't be worth a damn.

Rudeness, hostility and general underclass behavior will not win the day. If they did, we would have passed that pro-life amendment to the Constitution that has been carried on the Republican platform for the last 27 years.

Your efforts will be amply rewarded, not with Fred Thompson, but with Governor Huckabee or Senator McCain. In the meantime, you prove the modern, liberal Democrat’s belief that cultural conservatives are rude and ignorant and lacking in simple human courtesy.

Wagglebee, when are you going to realize that this has nothing to do with Rudy Giuliani?

I stated from the beginning that I thought these protests were counter-productive to the pro-life cause. And that’s what I meant and all I meant.

You can freep Rudy Giuliani until he drops off the face of the planet for all I care. I just don’t think these types of protests on the issue of abortion-—whether they are lodged against Rudy or anyone else-—in the context of an election do anything to truly educate or persuade people.

I just don’t think they work well when the MSM is so spun-up in election mode and I think they are quite liable to be used against the pro-life movement.

How you turned that into a pro-Rudy sentiment, I’ll never know.
