Shirley ewe jest! This truly, really, for-sure is the kinder/gentler humblegunner. Didn't you get the memo? I'm not joking either.
But Newt's words are what they are. She made an impact to the chagrin of some who frequent Free Republic.
Theres no question we saw it help us in fundraising, Gingrich told Greta Van Susteren on FOX News On The Record last Thursday, two days after Palins comments.
We saw it help us in volunteers. We saw people, all of a sudden, on the phones. She has a significant following in the Republican Party.
To have her say shed vote for me in South Carolina... that was a big break and it really helped us a lot.
Well I am an endangered species but not one recognized by the Feds.
I said mean things to them too, you see.....
Congratulations!
You are the 1000th person to fall for it!
Please procede to the current Freepathon thread and donate.
We can’t spare this jerk. He fights.
Humblegunner, after reading your comments, I clicked on your profile to perhaps gain some understanding of where you might be coming from. The account says ‘banned or suspended’. Mea Culpa .... my apologies as you are obviously not.
Humblegunner ginned up a fake banned page. I'm guessing it's there so people would see it, make comments like what you just said, and then get proved wrong.
I've had my own run-ins with Humblegunner. His behavior seems to be tolerated — as someone else said, he seems to have “protected status” — and since nothing can be done about him, I think it's best to read what he says, see if it makes sense, and then either take it or leave it. He won't change his tactics anyway, and fighting him seems to encourage him rather than reduce what he does.
Some people are like that.
I'm a Ninja.
You'd have better luck trying to divide by zero.
Humble has a fake ZOT.
I think he lost some money in an oil deal or something, nothing else could account for the vitriol he spews.
Due to your blogpimping. Post your content in full.
Free Republic isn't here to act as advertising for your blog.
His behavior seems to be tolerated
What behavior? Please specify. Disliking blogpimps? Not fawning over Palin?
since nothing can be done about him
I'm subject to the same rules that you are.
He won't change his tactics
I have tactics?
fighting him seems to encourage him
We agree.
Some people are like that
Yep.
Â, sô desu ka
I used to work for a guy that was a nice-enough guy, just VERY blunt in his assessment of things. Didn't care who he pissed off. Lots of folks would leave as they took it too personally. I figured it was just due to his upbringing, etc. and let it run off my back.
Same goes for humblegunner’s posts. And despite the “jerk” factor - his assesment of Palin’s decision is reasonable. And as a Palin fan, I can see her (or any politician) waiting to see who has the best chance while still holding the most conservative values. If she does run for office again some day, might not be best to be saddled with “...and she backed Santorum that then went on to a distant third place finish...” (disclosure - I had been donating a little to Santorum earlier).
I haven’t posted one link to any articles I’ve written since you jumped all over me a year ago for violating s rule I didn’t even know existed.
Since then, I posted one article on Free Republic involving a 9/11 memorial service at Fort Leonard Wood, with full text, put it in the appropriate place at Free Republic and deliberately didn’t even include a link so neither you nor anyone else could accuse me of “wanting hits.”
So lay off the accusations. They’re not true.
You’re rude. You admit to that and are proud of it. I follow the rules once I know what they are, and you can’t accuse me of violating them.
Now let’s end this before either of us say more things to each other we’d rather not say. You and I have better things to do than fight.
Omit the link and post the article, I'm sure that would be welcome.
Youre rude.
Perhaps a bit when needed.
Now lets end this before either of us say more things to each other wed rather not say.
Fine, but I was just getting warmed up. ;-)
Yea, I smile at times reading his comments, but I guess I didn't have enough coffee to be fully awake when I let loose!! I should have just ignored him.
He's cranky and that's the way he is. He is more pathetic than anything else. I will just continue to smile at his lame attacks.
humblegunner ~ Perhaps a bit when needed.
humblegunner always sees the need...
I have posted for a long time I thought Rick Perry & Sarah would team up.
But the longer she waited & watched Rick Perry, it was obvious that he was not ready for a national campaign.
There were lots of Sarah Palin fans like me getting irritated and fustrated that Sarah waited so long.
But now it's on!
Sarah, Rick Perry, Chuck Norris and Jim Robinson have all backed Newt. ...me too.
Newt is on record as saying Sarah would be part of his administration.
PS. Lucky you didn't run into the old Humblegunner, this is the new, kinder, gentler Humblegunner. A true transformation.
Talking about folks behind their back is not only cowardly and rude, it’s against Free Republic protocol.
Which of the above applies to your trashing me without pinging me?
Shall I hazard a guess?
