MSNBC to Cover Pulled Free Republic Thread on Monday's David Shuster Show
Twitter and Daily Kos | Saturday, July 11, 2009 | Kristinn

Posted on 07/11/2009 4:53:55 PM PDT by kristinn

The Daily Kos has a post up quoting MSNBC personality David Shuster's Twitter page stating his show will be covering the controversy over Free Republic and comments about Malia Obama:

@mikelord @thejoshuablog. We will cover this monday: http://bit.ly/3pqS7M. But follow @joetrippi for what can be done on-line. about 2 hours ago from web

The embedded link goes to the Vancouver Sun hit piece posted earlier to FR

Over at Twitter, the leftists are all in a hypocritical lather over FR.

David Shuster is on sometime mid-afternoon East Coast time Monday-Friday.

What is a really rude name-calling post (just for example). Do you mean when I refer to the pukes as "pukes", or when I call the Leftwingtards "Leftwingtards"?

Do you find that offensive? Or just a little disquieting?

We need to know what your standards are so we can come up with stuff just this side of your barf standard.

I hope the Obama’s are footing the bill for their entourage. I don't like paying for needless people to travel on our money. If they have to go they ought to dress with the thought in their mind that there will be pictures & they need to look their best. IMHO Malia's T shirts & the pants the "cousin" were wearing weren't in the best of taste.

If you think things are so bad here, do us all a favor and write an Opus and leave.

Before you blame all Freepers you should know that there are lefty’s that are trolling FR, looking for a chance to discredit site. Some have been caught. Of course, we do have our very own idjits too.

The opus, of course, is optional.

True, but entertaining for the rest of us.

I’d prefer the racists write their opuses (opi?) and leave. Unless you think they better represent the current FR?

‘I dare not open any Obama-related thread in a public place. And you and I both know why.’

Some of the posts are straight from and similar to ‘white nationalists’ forums. I do believe that some (small #) are pedaling their filth over here.

Point out these supposed "racists." I'm sure Jim would like to know.

Not racist posts but really rude, name-calling posters.

OK, I see what you mean and I agree. Unfortunately, shows like the Daily Show and Letterman and the other mainstream outlets have turned both "comedy" and debate into personal insult fests. It is disturbing and I point this out to my own kids who, it turns out, have pretty good reputations because they don't behave this way. (usually!)

I am put off by this stuff on FR. I am really hesitant to hit the abuse button for this kind of thing but maybe I should reconsider. I would appreciate input from the powers that be.

Free Republic is very important to conservatives generally. We might even be the target of shut downs. We also need to balance this with freedom of expression and not succumb to PC-type speech police. That's a tough one.

I'm not quite sure how to handle this.

My post said obscenities. Are the posts pulled? Yup. But it shouldn’t have been posted to begin with. Do you remember when that kind of thing was never seen on here? I do.

I think you may be right. Many of them were probably never really into “politics” per se until Obama’s election, then they decided to come here thinking it was a like-minded place. They should go back to Stormfront or wherever they came from and not let the door hit their a** on the way out.

“They” meaning the Democratic whores who read Saul Alinsky. I was joking when I said they would file ethics complaints against us, but ya never know, they did it against Sarah they might do it against us

Racism is not welcomed here on FR, and to suggest otherwise is incredibly disingenuous.

Of course, the truth of the matter is that the racists you speak of appear to be largely ethereal. You haven’t posted any examples. (I’ll remind you that the use of the word “ghetto” does not make one a racist.)

You should change your tagline to something catchy like “Careful! There’s a racist in every thread, just waiting to explode!”

It's called Stormfront.

Oh no! I love a good opus. We don’t have many of those anymore. They have to ramble on and on. :-)

I’ll remind you that the use of the word “ghetto” does not make one a racist.

It does if the person does not live in a ghetto and your only reason for saying so is something about the amount of melanin in their skin.

Jim pointed them out himself when he posted and removed that offensive thread.

I don't. When I signed up, ten days before you did, there were no moderators. Posts were pulled by Jim and there was a lot of obscenity.
