Actually, Bob, I believe this will be our finest hour. We’re about to take down Kos and the Vancouver Sun’s online editor, Chris Parry. Tomorrow afternoon, Shuster is going to look like a fool doing a hit piece on us on MSNBC, in which our side (kristinn, I imagine) will lay it all out.
Chin up.
Everyone should stay away from such comments about children...
that being said, I doubt a “true freeper” would have posted such comments in the first place.
At a time when the administration is seeking any reason to squelch any speech it deems “hate”,
Yet Ole Bob doesn’t seem to see the horror of that statement.
Part of me almost wishes these liberals are successful
in their support of Socialism, just so they would have
to suffer under it.
What the hell is wrong with trashing their family? THEY TRASH OUR GUYS! THIS IS A WAR, NOT A GAME. We need to treat them worse than they treat us. TRASH THEM. TAR THEM. BE MEANER. NASTIER.
Stop playing the McLame way. This kind of politics with hardcore communists requires hardcore rules.
We have been playing a game with both hands and a leg tied behind our backs.
They must be defeated at all costs. This means defeating them at their own game. We are not going to win by going the high ground when they own the rulebook and the referees.
Hey, maybe Bob would be interested in shining the light of truth on how Barry illegally fired the AmericCorp IG......
It should be obvious to everyone by now that this is a planned and concerted attack on FR by the really radical left.
Any site which is open to the public will have opinions all over the map. Some will be mild some stronger and a few will be over the top.
So what?
I don’t frequent the leftist web sites but from what I have read, they are basically hate filled, lies and distortions purposely intended to mislead.
They could take a lesson from FR’s posters which I am sure would be like a breath of fresh air to them.
O'Reilly has also said that the Left's websites are far more vicious than any sites on the Right. He has positioned FR as the dominant site on the Right, and in my opinion, he has unfairly used moral equivalence to put the dominant Right site and dominant Left site on equal footing.
However, I would like to see O'Reilly come to his senses on the proportion of differences between sites on the Right and Left. I'd like to see O'Reilly report that the person from Kos who reported on the racial slurs on FR had previously posted about falsifying racist charges against Free Republic, and hid the fact that he was also a reporter for the Seattle newspaper which "broke" the story.

Yes, we have a few pinheads on FR who sometimes post despicable comments. And the thread was pulled. Ask O’Reilly, you’ll find pinheads in every group.
I’d be willing to be if you took a poll of this site, one vote per active member, you’d have no less than a 99% majority agreeing that the comments were unacceptable. That’s not the issue.
The real problem is that we have no idea who posted the comments. Not all of us were here to catch the thread, and in my experience the moderators (acting on tips from members, no doubt) are very quick to clean up comments that have no place in the intelligent discourse we pride ourselves on. A few posters making crude comments at worst indicates some long-standing members gone off the rails. However, as you can see, there remains a very distinct possibility that those comments were deliberately planted. The fact that the story was jumped on almost immediately suggests that quite strongly in my opinion.
You may want to look into that aspect.
Bill O'Reilly will be far more interested in the man who planted those racist screeds, Chris Parry--the same man who tried to execute a "Google Bomb" so that when you typed "terrorist" in Google, Bill O'Reilly's name would come up.
Perhaps some people here can inform Bill of this fact. and Bob Parks as well, since he is clearly a pretty lousy researcher. Most of us try and get the facts before we post such strong accusations.
Placing bets now — I think O’Really will not be able to resist slamming FR again, but will lightly confer “pinhead” status on Chrissy DUmmie and preen as “balanced”.
Did O’Reilly really call this entire forum a “hate site”?
How dumb does a man have to be to say that a forum of 100,000 posters that has a few flamers is a “hate site”?
It is all sickening, including THE REMARKS ABOUT SARAH PALIN’S DAUGHTERS AND INFANT SON!
But Sarah is a White Christian. It’s ok to overlook those comments because a person of color has better life experiences than a white person, as SOTOMAYOR stated SEVERAL TIMES!
The race baiters are getting the reactions they were looking for. Incompetent and unqualified people in leadership positions still screw up life for everyone. But NOOOOOOO. Don’t criticize anyone because they might not be white??? We don’t need anyone qualified to run our country as long as we have people of color to put in important jobs, REGARDLESS OF THEIR QUALIFICATIONS??
omg DID I OFFEND ANYONE????? WAAAA WAAAAA WAAAAA
Left wingers need to go live in their green caves of utopia and let civilization work out the details. Civil society cannot exist when there are race baiters shaking the cage.
They don’t speak for the majority of AMERICANS!
I am a little slow on the uptake and did not realize you are the esteemed Bob Parks. I posted a reply on your website which was a copy of a response I gave on this matter in another thread.
I want to emhasize that I think anyone who makes racist remarks should have their heads handed do them by the mods. Who I believe try as best they can to keep posts within the Free Republic policy.
I know it is hurtful to read any such remarks, but please do not think this is a tone accepted at this site.
Anyone, anything, anywhere. Welcome to the internet.
It speaks volumes about how morally mature conservatives are that BO has to latch onto FR as a hate sight.
Gee, nobody ever said a bad word abut Bush’s or Palin’s daughyters huh?
Bob, I posted on one of the original threads. I, and most posters were polite. The people posting this are in the distinct minority, and some (all?) were possibly trolls. Unfortunately (!), since the threads were pulled so fast (unlike ALL over the net, where disgusting and hateful remarks against Sarah and family are allowed to stand), there is no way to prove this, now. This is not a hateful site.
what would prevent a liberal joining up, posting that stuff, thereby framing us up...?
We already know that DUmmies like to come over here and post stuff like this. I wonder if O’Reilly has his staff doing it too?
