here’s Al’s opus:
JIM ROBINSON AS THE NEW JOSEPH FARAH - STABBING THE CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT IN THE BACK
On one the few rational minds left around here - but not for long | 4/24/2007 | Al Simmons

About me:
Lurker - since 1998

In self-imposed exile - since April 2007
The tone of the debate and the attacks on long-time fellow Freepers for the cardinal sin of daring to support Rudy Giuliani in early 2007 around here have really saddened me. Instead of fighting the enemy FR is now imposing an ‘ideological purity’ test on FR members. The well-oiled train has gone off the rails and Mr. Robinson risks becoming the next Joe Farah - a fellow who started a great website for conservative news and opinions, but who gradually drifted off to la-la land, losing all credibility - and readership - in the process.
He has set himself squarely in the Internet media spotlight, doused himself with gasoline, and and lighted himself on fire - a fact that has not escaped the attention of the left-wing lunatics at Daily Kos. Their reporting on what has been going on at FR is perhaps the first factually true account published on their site.
Jim, if that quote of yours about setting up an organization to ‘Swiftboat Rudy’ is accurate as quoted in their article, the only thing I have to say to you is that you ought to be ashamed of yourself, as you have now become the back-stabber of the conservative cause.
If you wish to marginalize this site by turning it into a narrow “several-issue” forum, that is your right. Just as it is my right to choose to not participate here any longer.
But you will be disappointed if you think that the crude, illiterate “goon squad” you have allowed free rein around here (dmw, narses, dirtboy, extremely extreme extremist, ReaganMan and several others - if I have slighted anyone, please email me if you want onto this list) will elevate the level of intellectual debate.
The result has been predictably in the other direction. That is what happens when you hire a bunch of brown shirts to enforce your own brand of political correctness.
Well, guess what? Politics is 99% BS and one can quite nicely live one’s life without the need to bloviate about it. I know how I am going to vote. I could care less about anyone else. Life is too short to waste my time around here when I am clearly one of those made to feel like they are not welcome.
So, go ahead Jim -
MAKE MY DAY. BAN ME. I DARE YOU.
Another Long Time Troll doing the self immolation dance. Good riddance...
Spiff, you didn’t make Al’s hall of fame.
And then he falls back on the classic liberal attack of referring to his opponents as brownshirts.
Just goes to show that Rudy boosters such as Al have a grossly-exaggerated sense of self-worth. And conservativism, for that matter.
LMAO, oh that’s rich.
Al? I don’t think it’s JimRob who doused himself in gasoline. Better sniff yourself.
This new evidence suggests Rudiphilia is a devastating mental impairment.
“Al Simmons”
Oh, yeah, he was one of the biggest rooty toots on the site.
Was. hehe.
Man, I'm envious. I never get named in anyone's opus.
