> He [Bannon] deserves to be treated innocent until proven guilty <
Yes, I agree with that - if Free Republic were a court of law. But FR is not a court of law. FR is a discussion board. So I think we should be free to express our opinions - without being personally insulted.
Think about that for a moment, central_va. If we are to hold to that “innocent until proven guilty standard”, then anyone who criticizes Hillary on FR should be zotted. Hillary has never been convicted in any court of law! Is Hillary therefore beyond any criticism here?
No. We are in a cultural and spiritual civil war. Bannon is a nationalist and a patriot and I will support him even if he were guilty of doing what every congress person does on daily basis with pork spending and kick backs for campaigns. We have to be cynical as “they” are We are losing. Nice gets you pushed onto a cattle car headed towards the camps.
