I stand by my accusation. You know good and well there are idiots on Free Republic who do not represent the spirit and intent of this site. It's the nature of posting.
Unless you know some secret mind control tricks to keep the riff-raff from going off, it will ever be that way.
I'm disappointed that you felt the need to "jump in".
I am with you Bob. I have seen these from time to time. Before October of last year though most racially charged posts were more about making a point rather than making a racist statement but lately there have been more and more posts that don’t seem to be making a point anymore than it is a venting of emotion that is racially tinged.
I think though that this is a good argument for this site to have.
I warned back in January that this site was going to be infiltrated by racists as they see a co-operative issue right now. As you may or may not know most racist organizations tend to blur the left/right ideologies with there political positions but now we have one big lightning rod in the White House and this being the largest forum dedicated to conservative values we are a naturally point for people who want Obama out to come. And unfortunately that means the undesirables come with them sometimes and also can mean those who have hidden amongst u can com out.
I believe conservatism wins hands down in the market of ideas but it is also easily marginalized by idiots.
” I understand there are plants but people also respond to what may be written and I have sat quietly while some not-so-nice stuff circulates around here. If there has NEVER been a racial slur issued by a Freeper, let me know and I’ll pull my column and issue a public apology.”
With all due respect Bob, please be specific in who posted and what was posted, as ‘not so nice’ stuff. These generalizations are wrong and to use them as reason not to pull your article is even moreso.
This site was FRAMED by the left and, unfortunately, you took the bait.
So, please, be specific...who and what.
Thank you.
