Another scarecrow from Mr. Intellectual Dishonesty.

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?

Your 519: An abolitionist could be a Free-Soiler and some of them were, but not all Free-Soilers were abolitionists and far from it. In fact, the most successful Free-Soilers - as in the ones who won election to office and later became the Republicans - were NOT abolitionists.

Your 509: Fact 2: Gerritt Smith, one of the only true abolitionists to ever gain a seat in the U.S. Congress, personally embraced that same book and used it as the philosophical basis of his own abolitionist arguments.

LOL! you pathetic loser. Do you understand now why you're called GOTCrap?
