Getting butthurt over contentious debates in the RF or over folks expressing their disdain for hispanics being the largest by percentages, perpetrators of ILLEGAL immigration is one thing.
But to go around and accuse FReepers in general of being racist and anti-Catholic because of that butthurt is another thing altogether.
Indeed and thanks for responding to my post. I've focused thus far on the racial and ethnicity angle. And for the record, I'll repeat again that racism simply has never existed here on Free Republic aside from the well-documented occasions when DemonRATs spew their venom here -- and are quickly zotted.
As for religion, there are indeed feisty dialogs about religion and doctrine. But I have never seen even a hint of anti-Catholicism here on the forum. The religion forums are well moderated and any taint of such things are quickly pulled. Although Mormonism (emphasis on "ism") is rightly attacked as the spurious cult which it is, there are no such attacks on certain Mormons as individuals (regardless of their heretical "beliefs"). As exhibit A, take Senator Mike Lee. In spite of being a member of the LDS cult, as a man and a politician, he's generally well liked by most FReepers. In contrast, Mitt Romney was reviled not for his religion but because of his leftist policy positions.
Compared to some of the names I’ve been called on this website..... “racist” is mild.
