It's driving me and others I know more and more to the left.

If you voted for obummer... you cant get any more left wing, bat shit crazy.

Could be trollalicious.

Just sayin’...

[hiredhand]

...last time I checked, his/her/it’s one and ONLY posting was to me! ...smells a lot like troll!

[alarm rider]

Talks like a troll, recent sign-up date, outraged lefty snootiness...I would say yes..

Trollinski!

[hiredhand]

I think the troll didn't understand my posting. I think he/she/it expected to get some sympathy out of me. I just read the posting at #531 again and it reads like an analysis. I don't think what I said warranted analysis. The troll replied with a very liberal/lefty answer. ...just a bunch of stupid questions and hand wringing.

The troll was a drive-by. I'm the only one they've written to so far.

HiJack! (hmmm) Welcome. Where was your outrage at the way the Bush family was treated for 8 years?... or the way the Palin family is treated to this very minute? If what is said here makes you and yours lean left, so be it. Goodbye. Your presence is neither required nor desired. Free Republic does not need weak-kneed pseudo “seekers,” who use their first post to mispell the name of the site and sprew garbage. BTW, I love your random Capitalization, you must be a highly edumacated big-shot working out of the White House basement. BTW, next time you see Michelle, tell her to quit wearing shower curtains as dresses.

You must be very special, or perhaps you stepped in troll bait again...

Hmmm! I don't f-e-e-l special! Unless you ask my dog! :-) I think the troll didn't go back far enough in my posting history...IF they even looked back at all. I think they completely misunderstood what I was saying and thought they could get some traction with me... FAT CHANCE! :-)

Well I got exactly what I expected. Trashed!!! Sorry for saying “New” Republic I of course met Free. But this is the problem with both the left and right. Go after the throat and crush the other no matter what. Neither side is open to the least bit of bit of dialog. The pundits on the left and right have us all at each others throats.

For the record I'm not happy with how the Palins or the Bush's were treated by the press. But do we even have a functional press anymore? They either lean way left or far right. I do pay attention to the press but I try to take what they are supposed reporting with a grain of salt. I really believe that all these pundits on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, Rush and all other ones are doing us all a disservice. And the overall news quality is not much higher than a High School Newspaper.

I have many African American friends that I work side by side with. They brought this tread to my attention via FB. Do I think all Conservatives are racist??? NO. Are there racist on the Left???? Yes of course. To ignore or pretend like racism doesn't exist is naive. It's there I hear it from Whites more often than I'd like to admit. They and I take major offense to the language that was used in respects to the peace t shirt and President Obama’s Family in general. As well they should. It was appalling! There is no justification for it. NONE!

So what to do? The post I've seen on this site are disturbing. I'll be visiting the Liberal sites as well. I just can't take it anymore.

I've got to go my wife keeps bugging me to get some stuff done around the house. It's my day off.

So trash away folks. Maybe if we meet in person we can all be a little more civil. I live in the Chicagoland area. Any takers? That's my tack with the friends from work. In fact I'm meeting a friend this afternoon on the South side to play tennis. Yes some African Americans play tennis. :)

I'm serious about meeting up.

We're not. Buh-bye, and don't forget to take your race card with you.

Rabscuttle,

Sorry. I’m at work with no VK tools again. Although it’s carcass has been rotting since last night.

Brad’s Gramma,

The “New Republic” poster you were trying to remember last night is at post 531 and has been sent packing.

[rabscuttle385]

I’ve lost count.

[hiredhand]

Yep! ...something close to that! We haven’t so many idiots to toy with since just before the big Rudy-Bot purge that Jim Rob did back before the elections. :-)

[Brad’s Gramma]

Thanks! That was the one!!!!

Poor confused fella is banned... now that’s too bad.

I was hoping he’d donate to whatever this site is called...
