No. Just the abolitionist pedigree you incorrectly ascribe to all members of the Free Soil Party.

Another scarecrow from Mr. Intellectual Dishonesty. Show me the post where I say this.

BTW We're still waiting for you to acknowledge the "fact" that Spooner's financial patron Gerritt Smith was elected to Congress as a Free Soiler. A fact you neglected to ascertain before attacking the anti-slavery pegigree of the Free Soil party, and are now convienently ignoring.

The facts are there as plain as day. You know them because you've seen them. Yet you continue to make vague assertions that are wholly inconsistent with them. Based upon that, I can only reasonably conclude that you are lying and that you do not wish to concede either that you were wrong in your first claim or that you are lying about that claim right now in an effort to escape having to concede that first error.

Sound familiar?

Is that what it was you were building, mac? Or did you steal the scarecrow from your neighbor and call it your own this time?

Show me the post where I say this.

Right here in you fraudulent claim that compares the two interchangably: "Sounds to me like the abolitionist movement in general and the original Liberty party membership in particular, weren't too impressed with Lysander Spooner or Gerritt Smith. While the Free-soilers went on to play a spoilers role in the presidential election in 1848 and eventually send a dozen men to Congress, the Liberty party with Garritt and Spooner went..nowhere."

BTW We're still waiting for you to acknowledge the "fact" that Spooner's financial patron Gerritt Smith was elected to Congress as a Free Soiler.

Why are you still waiting for something I acknowledged two days ago back in post 519? Let me copy it again for you: "An abolitionist could be a Free-Soiler and some of them were, but not all Free-Soilers were abolitionists and far from it."

Now, mac. You got anything to add to this debate that isn't factually dishonest of plagiarized? Or are you simply going to revert to your usual name calling?
