Just when the left over-reaches and does something so over-the-top, where the public can see how despicable they are, this guy posts something that allows them to skate, by saying we do the same thing, and did it first...

You can't compare the half-joking stuff that very few posters here posted, vs. the absolutely despicable tactics of a whole horde of lefties...

Giving them an out may be ok to you, but I don't feel that giving them a free pass, before they can even start to feel foolish about their actions... What does he hope to accomplish by this? Showing that we're hypocrites? Condemning FR for doing, in his opinion, what they did, and providing moral equivalence?

The MSM never picked up the Chelsea comparison, and no one accused a grown lady (Chelsea) of this kind of stuff... We're talking about a 16 year old girl, who they're trying to destroy, in a 2-fer... I'm enraged by their actions, and find folks trying to link this with that action just plain, flat-out wrong.

This is something I have never understood.
I happen to be a white male, however that dosn’t mean that I consider myself a “we” with all other white males.
I happen to be a conservative, however I don’t blindly support anything anyone else who happens to call themself a conservative does. I happen to be a Freeper, an individual, don’t insinuate that there is some kind of collective guilt because some other freeper did something you think is wrong.

You provided google search results.

You may have just gone and quoted Wiki IMHO.

How about using the search feature on FR and come up with actual instances.

You now...names...dates.

So far as someone said earlier...the only time I’ve ever seen that morphing pic was when you put it in the OP.

And I say that as someone who is a regular in the Rush...Hannity and Levin threads.

So what’s your real game here sam?

Trying to stir up some posts suitable for repost over at the new ClownPosse site?

Trying to gin up some “ha-ha funny” stuff for you and the rest of the “keepers of the flame” to get a good yuk at?

Would you PLEASE read the posts I’ve answered you with?

And quit spamming the Admin Moderator. They have better things to do, surely.

How is that you STILL don't see the problem with your original post?

I'm thinking this thread should be moved to the Religion Forum, because people are denying evidence that is staring them in the face.

Look, let’s make it simple. The shame part takes place here when reasonable people ask questions and poke fun when posters act imbecilic. Logic (with a healthy dose of sarcasm when called for) will do the job. Anyone can be quoted out of context, and there is nothing you can do to prevent it. Meanwhile, you didn’t “need” to post the morphing pic to make your point, which is, I suspect why you’re drawing some of the reactions you’re getting.

Agreed, we need to concentrate on his political history and philosophy. He should be asked and re-asked about his programs. It shouldn’t take long before his answers will sound like a teenager explaining why he or she missed their curfew.

In my twisted little dream world I envision him crying and running off stage at a debate because he was asked to hard of a question. Something like, Why do you advocate giving away .7% of our GDP to foreign powers through the Global Poverty Act that you sponsored?”

Is illustrating a striking adult resemblance between a candidate's child and a prominent colleague/confidante equal to what's being said about Palin’s daughter and husband?

Short answer? Yes.
LOL

Well, if Trig is the daughter’s, he’ll have a brother or sister soon, I see.

Read them.

Still doesn’t justify your broadbrush BS.

Oh and if you truly had a leg to stand on...you wouldn’t worry about me notifying the Admin Moderator of your trollish posts.

Re post #141:

What you said in 141 was fine. But the personal insults and name calling directed at Sam Paine that were over the top.

In the interest of disclosure it is not like I've never name called or insulted another FReeper before either that in no way justifies the action.

Seems that a number on this thread want to kill the messenger. I have seen the photo here on FR a number of times. I support your pointing out this hypocrisy on our part. Before I get jumped on, let me emphasize that there is a small limited number of FR posters who have posted the morphing photo. It could be one poster for all I know, I don't keep a running list.

Your thought processes are pathetic and demented! Unfortunately, it can’t be blamed on TROLLitis!
May GOD Help You!

If this was a “trollish post” it wouldn’t still be up. It’s legitimate and in my opinion it’s correct.

Your request to be the sensitive conscience of free republic is denied.

Maybe you’re right. The insults were out of line... A culmination of the storm and the aftermath... Ruining our convention... Trying to counter the lies of the left, most of them absolutely outrageous, then seeing this... I may have over-reacted in my language, but I still feel the same... FURIOUS that someome would post this and make us all look like jack@$$e$
