An Idaho Republican gubernatorial hopeful insists he was only joking when he said he'd buy a license to hunt President Barack Obama.
Rex Rammell, a former elk rancher slated to run against incumbent C.L. "Butch" Otter in the May 2010 GOP primary, made the comment at a Republican rally Tuesday in Twin Falls where talk turned to the state's planned wolf hunt, for which hunters must purchase an $11.50 wolf tag.
When an audience member shouted a question about "Obama tags," Rammell responded, "The Obama tags? We'd buy some of those."

I agree. I like George Allen, but his incessant apologizing after "macaca" made him look weak. He should've said this: "Offending Mr. Sidarth was not my intention, but I do regret it if that was the case." And he should've never broached the subject again. He kept it in the headlines by apologizing everytime he saw a microphone.
That’s his only way out of this.
Je should say he’s put in a call to Cheney to join him.
I live in Idaho Falls. Rex is a douchebag of the highest order. Runs for everything and usually brings in about 2% Rex, please go back to milking elk.
Agreed, a bad mistake. I think you can classify his running for Gov as: “so much for that idea”.
“Don’t tase be, bro!”
be should be me
Excellent. And the comments look mostly favorable to you as well. One guy said, “One question for PS, who is Chuck Ness and John Sergeant? Are they new writers for you? I only ask because they are good, and so you should keep them.” So good for you.

Now I sent 8 personal freep-mails demanding the reason for the removal, but as of me sending this I have yet to receive an answer. It is my wish that if you care as to why they would pull a thread that was decent yet critical of the Porn King, Hugh Hefner, who I personally think is not moral, nor even the bit decent, you would send the moderator or Jim a Freep mail as to why they would pull it. Again, I humbly ask you all to send a freep-mail to the admn moderator as to why they pulled the ANT-HUGH HEFNER thread.

What publication was it in?
That could be the problem ...a lot of publications they won’t allow here, even if articles could be in the “know your enemies” category.
Private site, what can you do?
I wouldn’t worry about it. The mods can and do pull stuff if they don’t like it.
Sorry I didn’t answer you sooner, but we had some hecka thunderstorms yesterday and through the night, so intermittent/no Internet, and trouble falling asleep. It rained 1.1,” and that was before midnight.
This is a private site, and the owner and the moderators are in complete control of the content. As a member in good conservative standing, there’s no reason why you can’t petition them to know the reason for pulling the thread, but that’s about it. You could FReepmail the link to your ping list, and each person can decide whether they want to read it, or give the site a hit, or not.
Might I suggest "inquiring" next time?
One correction to it...he made PFC.
Heck, during election season, we had moderator defacing of original posts--including in the original article area--with quotes from sources that flat-out said on their website that their purpose was to fight the Right!
LOL You earned it. Hand wringers need not apply.
