If you recall, about three weeks ago someone from the medical community commented that the immigrants had a variety of diseases. The 0bama Regime immediately clamped down and imposed gag orders.
I understand the mental connection and for the most part those kind of comments on a free republic thread are standard, non-disruptive, and sometimes the connections can even be thought provoking. That’s not to say they are on topic with the thread. But think how some FR threads have thousands of comments. You just know there’s a few sidebar discussions going on among that many posts. So long as someone isn’t attempting to be intentionally disruptive or trolling, then I just see them as business as usual.
