The moderator needs to protect this forum from unwarranted external attacks. If FreeRepublic develops a reputation for crass comments about the dead and dying, it will be bashed mercilessly in the Lamestream Media.

Free speech has some responsibilities, and limitations, even here. And that is the way it should be, as true Feepers have class.

For years people said what they wanted about the liberal celebrities whether they were Hollyweirders, TV people, print journalists, educations, etc. etc.

It used to be a lot "crasser" around here.

Yet we never got bashed mercilessly in the MSM. Why? Because the MSM doesn't want to advertise our web address to the public. Because if they did a lot more people would frequent this site!

Do you feel the same way about Republican politicians? Or are you one of those people who wish the Republicans would get tough with their words? Fight back? Get down and dirty? FR rules say no profanity and no threats or suggestions of violence. It doesn't say anything about being honest, or in your words, being crass.

Just my opinion...
