I have tried to explain that we have trolls that are trying to incite and set us up. FR is a threat to the left. Some freepers tell me that I’m paranoid. I’m not. I’m right. Watch for noobs trying to incite trash. Then call a Mod on them.
......Do their personalities have anything in common?.....
Looks and both are pretty strong in their views
Well they didn’t forget, they just didn’t consider that fact helpful to their agenda.
Correct. And once upon a time, the Dukes of Hazzard could drive around in a big red gas guzzler with a Confederate Battle Flag on the roof named the General Lee and nobody thought they were racists. We no longer live in that time and have to deal with the time we do live in. The stereotype that conservatives are racist is harmful to the cause. If you haven't noticed, liberals use racism as a trump card just like they use religion as a trump card in abortion debates. We don't help ourselves dealing them a hand full of trump cards they can use to win every argument.
I just said that to a n00b who posted a thread about whether the Pacers were too white.
Geesh
Doesn't this answer the question many of us have asked?
How long was he/she/it a member?
If only a few days, 90% of this thread is sanctimonious BS.
Why do some people really enjoy apologizing for every accusation thrown against them?
Ever heard the expression Thou protesteth too much...?
Over a year. It must have been a sleeper.
I concur. I can’t help but wonder, on the occasions Bill O’Reilly has ‘called’ out a FReeper post, if it all wasn’t just a nice, tidy little set up.
Beware the Trojan Llort...they are here.
Saw someone sign on yesterday and post a “fishing” thread about the Black Panther voter intimidation.
I posted a big warning flag and hit abuse.

From that statement it is not clear what you intend. Defense is great. Offensive offense we can do without.
Our side did very well against Letterman. We need to be outraged but not offensive"
Why is my statement about the mister nice guy crap is getting to be over the top is not being read as the way it was stated?
It's a truthful statement. Our side - including, during President Bush's Presidency has been to sit back & be the nice guys. I see that got us a big pay off!!!!
I am not understanding what you mean by what do I intend to do about it??
I thought I made it clear that I will not be silent any longer while we get pummeled with lies & pretended outrage. I'm wondering what you find so wrong about that?
What exactly did I say that you found "Offensive offense" that you can do without?
re: “Give me a break. Imagine if Willow Palin was wearing a NRA or Pro Life t shirt? The left would go nuts.”

Totally agree — and no one would be pulling any threads over there on the LEFTIST sites, either, citing lack of decorum and leaving the kids alone. Puhleez.
FR has given the whiney left its way while Olberman, Letterman and all the rest of the MSM blather on in nasty comments against conservatives AND their kids. This makes me sick.
I guess we all need to hit that abuse button. I have been here almost ten years, and I don’t think I have hit ‘abuse’ more than twice. And I post alot!
I wanted to the other night...and now feel guilty that I didn’t. References were made to Malia’s hair; I was told I was a ‘board bully’ (or thread nanny or something like that). Again...I don’t want to ‘nanny’ but maybe it is needed with the bumper crop of trolls.
*rolls eyes*
If you understand that the left is looking for (and will fabricate) an excuse to use state force to punish and eliminate ideological opposition,
you can’t deny that they’d look for and fabricate an excuse to shut down conservative speech.
“I defend the right of anyone to post anything they want. - we start down this road of banning offensive speech, where will it end”
Are you advocating that one engaging in “free speech” has a right for that speech to be heard beyond their ability to deliver it, if that is your position then you are infringing on the rights of others, whither it is a bulletin board at the local laundry mat or this forum, to control what they have created.
Your right to free speech does not require me/or anyone else to give you a platform to deliver it.
LOL!!! We need to be watchful. When in doubt, I ask a Mod to check them out. Better to be safe than sorry.
Thank you. And spot on!
Correct, Peter...we are all guests here in Mr. Robinson’s cyber sandbox. “Free speech” is at the benevolence of our host...
