I'm curious how someone's free speech is curtailed by Jim deciding what he wants posted on his own website.

Oh? Did JimRob change FR's mission from that of a conservative news and information website to a "Sarah Palin for President" website? If so, I missed it.

There is a time and a place for such scrums, and they have been freely happening for months. But this is not the time for ankle biting.

Yes, which is why it's best to let people who are uncomfortable with Palin's statement today have their say. Just let them have their say and move on. What you see as "ankle biting," others see as their sincerely held beliefs about the situation.

Take me, for instance. If you haven't already, please consider reading my post #518 on this thread. I agree with every word Palin said in her statement today, including the blood libel reference. However, I think her timing and delivery were poor. Does saying so make me any less of a conservative than you? Of course not!

The moment Conservatives let liberals determine which speech is permitted is the moment Conservatives lose.

If a filthy lib tries to frame the debate and turn it into an exercise in semantics, run them over and keep on going. If libs don't like words like "targeting" or "destroying the enemy", up the rhetoric to target them and destroy them.

They left keeps throwing up ever more words, subjects and thoughts which are politically incorrect. Pretty soon the only speech permitted to the people will be the shouting of "Amen!" after every utterance of the chicago messiah.

I reject that!

The media is practicing blood libel and I hope Palin kills her opponent and that we slaughter the dems in 2012. Eff anybody who doesn't like it.
