Yesterday in this thread: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2172949/posts?page=279 several Freepers, angry about a news story, made some ugly comments about Rep. Price - implying he's gay, RINO etc.

I repeatedly posted (115) that the story was bogus, but the rants continued.

Folks, let's not let the MSM rope us into this nonsense.

For any weaselly politicians, who’s linguini-spined, pansy-a$$ed selves who were offended by calling them a bunch of gutless sissies, I sincerely apologize if anyone took offense.

I saw him on television last nite capitulating to the democrats.

Perhaps part of your request is valid, but he and most other republicans are still trying to be friends with democrats instead of fighting their socialist agenda tooth and nail.

The politico article title...

“House GOP member to Rush: Back off”

Are these even the same stories? Wrong link or changed title?

I think folks need to focus on my point.

A media outlet prints a falsehood and, in reaction, folks here get ugly before checking the facts.

All I’m saying is that we need to be careful.

I’m not excusing what Price may have done or is doing, but he certainly was smeared.

Yes, thats where I got the article title.

I see no mention of FReepers in it anywhere.

As I posted yesterday, winning the election was not enough for the Media.

They want to destroy the Republican party and Conservatives.

“Divide, and conquer.”

Sorry - But there ain’t gonna be no apology.

Not from Free Republic.

Wolfstar and I had some arguments on that thread yesterday. But one thing he and I agreed on:

He made repeated calls - pinged the moderators - to edit the story. They can easily do that. But they would not. They would not even comment as to why not.

Mods can do as the please ya know.

But if FReepers got PO’d at Rep. Price - then Polito is first to blame. Then the mods.

Just my 2 cents....

Agree.

I’m as angry and frustrated as anyone, but we’ve got to hold fire on some things.

When I called Price’s office last night, I was calm but angry. The poor girl answering the phone sounded exasperated. Now I know why.

I don’t remember who it was, but someone posted a picture of Price and made a comment that he “looked gay.”

We can’t become Daily Kos.

My 2 cents is not to trust the media in the first place and to do some research before jumping ugly.

BTW. The correction was not added today. It was added yesterday. Within a hour or so of the first posting of the article.

I said he was a doctor and therefore, thinks he’s smarter than everyone else.

Of course, if you know most doctors, they may still be true. :-)
