Houston Man Slammed Against Car, Ticketed Over Obama ‘Joker’ Posters
Chicago Daily Observer ^ | 9.17.09 | Breitbart

.

A Houston man was handcuffed and assaulted by cops for posting anti-Obama flyers around his town, actions described as “criminal vandalism” by police and some local residents, despite the fact that giant pro-Obama murals are openly displayed in the same neighborhood for all to see.

21-year-old Mark Fuhre, an Alex Jones Show listener, decided to post the flyers even though the Infowars Obama Joker Poster Contest had ended, because he wanted to alert his neighbors to the cult of personality being manufactured around Obama and how the establishment is stifling any criticism of the President by constantly invoking racism.

Fuhre believed that he had a first amendment right to express his opinion, just as those that spray painted giant Obama “HOPE” murals in the same neighborhood had done without opposition.

I already said that I’ve been a lurker for 5 years

And I can say that I'm the Galactic Overlord.

See how that works?

Man, do you know how to keep digging that hole deeper and deeper...

Thats ok, we’ll stay on top and keep throwing the “know it all dirt” in behind you...

But just to be fair, I agree with you that the kid (rememeber the one that this discussion is about???) was wrong in his methods...He was cited, and he will get his day in court...

Your “reserve public servant” status notwithstanding, I believe your overbearing attitude (in the use of your knowledge) is very revealing, and that is probably most of the reason you’ve rubbed a few people wrong in this discussion...

We’ll just agree to dissagree...

Actually I have been here for several years lurking. My wife, “callmeveronica” has been a member since 2000 (longer than you).

I see that your math has already been corrected. I will repost the information below as it appears you either missed it or didn't understand it.

First of all this is Free Republic or FR not "freepers". Nobody who has been here longer than a few months calls it that. Freepers are the people who post on FR not the site's nickname. A long time lurker would know that. A long time lurker would also know that all know-it-all n00bies, especially those that call troll are treated just like this. Saying that you have lurked quietly for five years and now cannot shut up is not believable. We have seen this little scenario played out hundreds of times over the years and are not particularly impressed by your efforts.

Maybe you should head down to the longer shovel store.......

However, you claimed I breached decorum by “threatening a fist fight” (another blatant lie on your part).

Actually, I wrote "challenged", not "threatened".

So, if you fail to quote me accurately, when FR provides the means to quote me EXACTLY through the use of html, who is it that lies?

Hmmmmmmm?

Like I said, I live in Keller TX. Email me on freepers and I’ll give you the specific address and you can come see if you’re man enough to shut me up.

However, you claimed I breached decorum by “threatening a fist fight” (another blatant lie on your part). I never threatened anyone,...

Eaker and rintense, your buddies, both did tell me to STFU...

You are a liar for implying that you/your friends never told me to STFU.

I never commented (or implied) on whether anyone else told you to STFU. You accused me, specifically. I proved your accusation to be false.

As to the first issue, what do you call it when you invite someone to your house to "come see if you're man enough to shut me up"?

Forget the shovel. Get a backhoe.

There is not difference in the wording of “challenge” or “threatened” in the context of a “fist fight”. This is just semantics.

Again, your insults are meaningless and lack substance.

I really don’t care if I’ve rubbed anyone raw. The truth is the truth and if that pisses people off then I don’t really care.

I’m glad you got my point on the original discussion. If you will only read the entire thread, I only made an observation that a select few decided to deride. I only defended my position with the facts and not my emotional gut reactions, which is exactly what the deriders did.

Sorry, if I tried to interject a little logic and reason into this debate. Next time, I’ll keep to one-word answers on the forum so that everyone can understand. It was my mistake to believe this was an intelligent debate.

I believe I’ve already stated that if you suspect that I’m a troll then you can verify it with my wife (call meveronica), who has been a long-standing member of Free Republic.

Besides, since when did the length of your time at Free Republic determine the validity of the argument or a person’s conservatism. Instead of judging based on time on the forum, you should judge on my actions and conservative postings. Otherwise, your no different than the DU crowd that automatically crucifies anyone that is conservative regardless of the reason.
I judge people based on actions, words, and character; not on color or how long they’ve been a member of my little clique. Too bad more freepers don’t seem to do the same thing.

As I’ve said several times, if you doubt my credibility then simple check with callmeveronica, another long-time freeper.

Furthermore, I would rate my credibility much higher than yours just based on our conversation. Your so preoccupied with how long I’ve been posting and with provide a single valid conservative argument or comment. Nothing about your posts have so far been conservative in nature.

All I see is more liberal name-calling. Next you’ll be calling me a racist just because I don’t agree with you.

I call it an invitation to a pompous a**. Your little combative group wanted to shut me up and I only gave an invation to try and do so.

I never commented (or implied) on whether anyone else told you to STFU. You accused me, specifically. I proved your accusation to be false

You asked why I gave the invitation and I told you. You claimed I broke decorum and you still have not been able to answer my questions about the decorum related to the the STFU comments. And, yes, you did imply...

Your postings are getting kind of pathetic since your explanations are more elusive than the wind...

So basically what you’re saying is Free Republic only likes stupid people that lack any knowledge, but instead speak out their a**. That sure explains some of the frivulous comments that I’ve seen today that contain nothing more than lame insults.

I kind of thought the purpose of a conservative forum was for people to come together and provide varying perspectives based on their knowledge and expertise so that an intelligent debate could occur regardless of if everyone agrees. Silly me, I guess I was wrong.

From now on, I’ll limit my comments to abbreviations, single words, or grunts so that nobody thinks I might know what I’m talking about and everyone else can easily understand.

I'm not on Troll Patrol duty today. It's my day off.
Here's a hint for you, though: Pissing off long-time FReepers
in good standing is never a good idea. Especially several at once.

Besides, since when did the length of your time at Free Republic determine the validity of the argument or a person’s conservatism

It doesn't, but we get lots of "freshly minted" new folks who
may or may not be here to make trouble. N00bs are therefor a
bit suspect. Live with it. Plus hazing the new guy is traditional.

I judge people based on actions, words, and character; not on color or how long they’ve been a member of my little clique

If a stranger comes into your house and starts trouble with your
friends do you judge his character or kick him the hell out?

Otherwise, your no different than the DU crowd

There you go again, coming into the house and insulting everyone in it.
Grow a thicker skin and learn who stands for what, it'll help you
in the long run. If you last.

This concludes today's lesson on stuff you should have learned in kindergarten.

P.S.

I got banned my first week for not knowing these very same things.

If you are implying that just because someone has been a member of Free Republic for a “long” time, automatically makes them more knowledgable or conservative on a given topic than someone that is a recent recruit, then I think you’re sadly mistaken.

You missed my point. Widely.

I appreciate the edicate lesson. I certainly was not trying to insult all freepers, but I think it is fair to point out the irony in how some freepers are behaving.

If a stranger comes into your house and starts trouble with your friends do you judge his character or kick him the hell out?

This is a fair question, but it depends, who started the trouble and why. If my friend started the argument or was flat out wrong, then I would correct him, rather than blindly defend him and lash out at the stranger. My friends don’t dictate my principles; my principles dictate my friends, which is why I won’t compromise my principles for anyone.

I also did not start the trouble in this case and I was not the one to first start with the insults. That came from these “long-standing” freepers. If it is just part of the “hazing” then fine, but freepers should be aware that behavior could sour die-hard conservatives on Free Republic and right now we need all of the conservatives to work together.

I would think the “long-standing” freepers would want the n00bies to put out there what they stand for. Yet, in this case, I am attacked for it even though I made a valid conservative point. I just don’t get that.

Last night, I went to bed very disillusioned by the rude comments here. I just kept thinking that if these comments are indictative of the caliber of people on Free Republic or in the front-line conservative movement, then no wonder we’re all getting ridiculed.

I hope you’re right and this was just a hazing or a test.

From your lastest post:And, yes, you did imply...

From your post #195:Third: You don’t think you breached decorum by telling me multiple times to STFU when I was not even debating with you?

Quote the post where I implied that others never told you to STFU, or that I said it.

Show me.

No, next I will be ignoring you because you have made it quite clear what you are, a waste of time like most n00bies.

Here is a hint that is true both on line and in real life, if you have to continually say you are “fill in the blank” then you ain’t. In fact the more you say it, the more you ain’t.

Son, you just ain’t.

I’ve already responded to this so please read my previous posts.

By the way, would you please answer my questions from those same posts instead of trying to constantly deflect the conservation?
