How many times have we seen this photo on FR?

How many times have we propagated the Huma/Hillary lesbian rumor mill with a wink and a nod and a [POST]?

LOL, it certainly was and as I stated, you were fast!

I did happen to see it.

Thanks for helping make the point that FR is quite good at keeping itself a step above.

Now stop bothering me...

*ducking*

I’m not talking about “being here before Obama was the nominee”.

I’m talking about being here when Bill Clinton was President of the United States.

Yes I agree there has been stuff said on this sight that have been tacky. At the same time there is a big difference when jounalist use these tacky comments on national news. Which Obama and the extreme bias main networks are doing now.

“Please point out when any of us have suggested that Chelsea was a child of incest.”

though I’ve never suggested incest... Chelsea’s gapping fish mouth, does kinda remind me of Webster Hubbell’s OR the mouth of a nasty channel cat(fish)from possibly the White water River.

That this stuff gets into the national news at all against Republicans (but never Democrats) is a testament to mainstream media bias.

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

You are one rude boy.

"Agreed! The kids are OFF LIMITS.

PERIOD.

No matter the party, no matter the candidate.

I always hated that graphic. It serves absolutely no purpose in the battle of superior ideas.

I am a big Rush fan and cringe every time he decides to talk about Chelsea, or any other of the candidates’ children for that matter. (In this regard, the man is an idiot.)

Unfortunately, the left has not cornered the market on tasteless behavior. "



BUMP!

The left argues that they say these things as a “joke”, too. The left thinks that their rumors are justified, too. And so on. At some point, it’s excuses. Do I think Free Republic does a much better job of moderating loony opinions than a lot of he left wing sites? Sure. But that’s a matter of degree. Why is it wrong to be critical of the stuff here that does get through and doesn’t generally get moderated out?

Thank you for starting this thread, Sam. The same, tired old Chelsea is Hubble's daughter smear on FR is not something from the past. It popped up just yesterday on this thread: That Sarah Palin rumor

I rebutted it on that thread in:

Post #126

Post #156

Post #226

I'm going to repeat my central points below:

1. Chelsea does NOT look anything like Web Hubble. Nothing about the shapes of their features is even remotely similar. Chelsea is almost the spitting image of what her maternal grandmother looked like in her youth. It's quite common for features to skip a generation, and for children to look more like their grandparents than their parents. George W. Bush looks a lot like his paternal grandmother, for example.

2. Conservatives claim to be better people than Leftists/Dems. Prove it. Stop this gutter insinuation that Chelsea is not Bill Clinton's daughter. She IS his daughter. Whatever else Clinton is, he has always been a loving, devoted father to his daughter. The gutter insinuations about Hubble and Chelsea were started in conservative circles when Chelsea was still a child and they continue to this day. Yet conservatives hypocritically whine about the Left's gutter insinuations regarding Gov. Palin and her children.

To address some of the excuses made on this thread: The cruel "Chelsea is Hubble's daughter" smear is not now and was never a joke. It was started when Chelsea was a young child. In fact, her looks and parentage have been mocked on FR almost since this site was first founded, and have largely gone unrebutted all these years until now. Bill Clinton has been out of office for over 7 1/2 years. When is enough, enough regarding attacks on Chelsea who, from all accounts, is a very decent young woman who is "guilty" only of loving her parents?

The first time I saw the “morph” I laughed out loud, thought it was hilarious, an obvious joke. The Dems are posting articles attempting to turn a rumor into reality at the expense of the reputation of a 15/16 year old girl, smearing her as we speak. The morph does not smear Chelsea's reputation. Joke vs. vicious rumors aimed against a teenager, NOT EQUIVALENT.

Melinda, I have no doubt you consider yourself a moral, upstanding person. Like most FReepers, you're probably a devoted church goer. Yet you turn a blind eye to the immense cruelty in what you dismiss as a "joke." No matter what your age, how would you feel if a group of people relentlessly "joked" about your parentage, or the parentage of your children (if you have any)? How would you feel if you knew there was absolutely nothing you could do about it, not only because libel laws make it nearly impossible for public people to win libel suits, but because once it's out there on the internet, it will exist practically forever? Your kids will know about it, and their kids, and so on.

When does this kind of gutter politics end? Conservatives claim to be better than the Leftist/Dems. Prove it.

Only a colossal jackass comes in here pointing fingers with nothing more than hot air to back it up.

Well then, "tx," check out post #90. Now who's the "colossal jackass?"

Considering the history of the Clintons and their friends, that pic is perfectly acceptable as a question.

No, actually, it most definitely is NOT acceptable. It is the height of cruelty.

Conservatives claim:

--> They are better than their political opposites.
--> They believe in Christ's message, or in God (for non-Christian conservatives), and in the Bible.
--> They are more tolerant than the Left.

Prove it.

Of course, for some perspective you could always compare how the deaths of say, Tony Snow or Barbara Olsen were treated on DU or Daily Kos and the deaths of liberals here.

And that's what, exactly? An excuse for conservatives to climb down in the gutter with Leftist sewer rats and become just like them?

I agree with you in principal...I've shot back at the dumb "hillary's gonna steal it, and be the nominee", "fort marcy park", etc dumb conspiracy theories...but timing is everything, and there's a lot to be said of not airing your dirty laundry, and not feeding the enemy with ammunition, especially when they could take this and claim moral equivalence..." We were shrill, but so were the righty sites...

This is NOTHING like what the lefties did... NOTHNG, and you'd have to be eminently naiive to make a connection between the two...

one deals with outrageous lies that acutally hurt a teenager, that gets picked up by the MSM...

The other is a dumb joke, that a few may take seriously, but so what... No one outside of these few threads would even know it exists... You're also comparing a teenager with a grown woman

Again, I'll ask... What was the purpose of this thread??? We know the end result- that's clear--- the lefties will skate by as thet point to stuff like this, and day, see they do it too, and for a long time before us...

What's the upside to posting this drivel? At this time??? Show he's "holier than thou"? What a sick joke
