What does that mean?
I was going to call in the Viking Kitties in over his ZOT, but the post itself was pulled so there was nothing to refer them to. One showed up, however.
Boy, you sure told me off!
Gonna say something mean about my mother now?
If any candidate has skeletons it would hurt.
As of right know there has been no credible evidence against Cain (or anybody). If you think we should jettison a conservative candidate based flimsy evidence, it is you who risks destroying conservatism.

She has a dumb son?
It’s definitely the “premier” site for conservatism on the Internet.That it is.
And it has a truly wide range of people, with a wide range of interests and knowledge. Very interesting place.
And besides all that, it has the best SOFTWARE. I don't know if it's custom or what but I've never been to a forum that has such a logical and well-organized system of carrying out conversations, where the reply button automatically puts the recipients name in the To: box and the posts are all numbered and they automatically fill up at the end (and a bunch of other intelligent features I'm not even mentioning).
Some of the comment pages on some news sites are unbelievably stupid in terms of organization (not even talking about the rank stupidity of their posters).
Anyway, bottom line is FR is the best by far.

And poof! sklar was gone!
I never heard of sklar until this morning, BTW.
IIRC, sklar had made reference to independent thinking not being tolerated at FR recently.
After reading sklar's post history here, it seems he was still a Palin supporter who didn't like Cain. He didn't seem to like Cain even a little bit...was still hoping Palin would save her mind
For that, sklar was falsly called a Romneybot.
I have seen much worse posted by people who weren't zotted...and proved the point he was trying to make. A lot of people agree with him on that who don't agree with him politically.
There is little, if any, room for independent thinking on FR these days and you don't have to be a Romneybot to be punished!
I'm probably next for having said that. But...
Today we are honoring the men who fought and died for freedom and NOBODY on FreeRepublic is going to shut me today!
Zot me if it's come to that!
Who cares--I don't-- if you have to watch what you say! My sin is I still support Perry...and I'm NOT ashamed of it!
Hah!
Nice try.
I did not mean to be harsh.
Dumb post.
Old data. :) Rush just read about the ‘fiance’ saying that they no longer live together.
Uh-huh.
Enjoy your weekend, and try smiling, for heaven’s sake. :)
Don't you know there isn't room for that on FR these days!
I might add, there is a lot of zotting going on while JR is probably still in bed...PST. But people are up in EST and CST!
I smile a lot already. One of my grandsons is going for another karate belt today.:)
Yeah, I found that out after I’d posted. Post #237 on this thread broke it, then there was another thread dedicated to it. Interestingly, the video at post #237 is of an interview with her X fiance. He claims she moved out in February and lives in Glenview. I’ve now found an ABC Evening News broadcast from November 9th (which contains some of that same interview) but also contains Harwood’s statement that she owned the Glenview townhouse while she lived with him in Mundelein. And that she’s living off the child support her son’s father provides. No other income for her is mentioned, and Harwood himself is out of a job and consolidating his debts.
This has to be a investigator’s dream...
To you but a lot of FReepers get it!
Good for him!
At the time, I honestly thought everyone on FR picked that side because it was the good and decent thing to do. Now I wonder if freepers picked that side because Clinton as a Democrat. Now that it’s Cain, suddenly all the accusers are automatically wh*res.
In this case, I cannot really judge the veracity of the accusers, because most of them haven’t really come forward to speak about it. But I am keeping an open mind.
Here’s the one thing you need to consider about political hits. They always save the worst for the very last minute, when it’s impossible to mount a defense. These could well be warning shot, not the main event. If this is coming from a Republican rival, the big news will come just before the primary. If it’s coming from the Democrats, it will come close to the election. If Cain has skeletons rattling around, this can destroy Republican chances for winning the Presidency.
Here's something you ought to consider: there is actually a moral component to the difference between Democrats and Republicans. If you read Rules for Radicals you will be repulsed by the idea of following them. The first edition of Rules was even openly dedicated to Satan!! You will find no, or almost no, Republicans willing to associate themselves with Alinsky - but you show me an activist Democrat and I'll show you someone who is willing to be associated with Alinsky. On Free Republic you find open, frank advocacy of Christianity and of Judaism; if you go to Democratic Underground, you feel like you need to take a shower afterward.As Rush puts it, "Being a liberal is a gutless choice." I express it differently by saying that "liberals" align themselves with the self interest of wire-service journalism, and profit from the propaganda wind emanating from it. To be a politician who does not avail herself of that wind, you have to have actual principles which you set above going along and getting along.
Take due account of that moral component, and you will be willing to bet that an attack on a conservative politician is likely to be an unfounded hit piece, and an attack on a liberal is quite likely to be the truth. Exceptions duly noted, but they are exceptions, and that's the way to bet them. Clarence Thomas had people lined up around the block wanting to stand up as character references to rebut Anita Hill's depiction of Thomas' character in those hearings.
Herman Cain isn't Clarence Thomas - but then, he's a Baptist minister and he might have been taking that calling seriously over the years. Given Ann Coulter's report that all of the accusers are from Chicago - where Cain has never lived but where David Axelrod does live - and that all refer to a single 3-year stint out of a lifetime career, I'd say the odds are pretty long against the charges being true. Especially when you consider the savaged reputations littering the street behind Obama/Axelrod.You think that the attacks on Cain are just the opening salvo; I think that it is a bluff intended to intimidate Cain into backing out the way others who ran against Obama have backed down when attacked. Dan Rather thought he could put a hoax over on us, too. We don't have to be pushovers.
The wisest and most cautious of us all frequently gives credit to stories which he himself is afterwards both ashamed and astonished that he could possibly think of believing . . .It is acquired wisdom and experience only that teach incredulity,
and they very seldom teach it enough. - Adam Smith

As I said, your post is dumb.
