JIM ROBINSON AS THE NEW JOSEPH FARAH - STABBING THE CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT IN THE BACK
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 FORGOTTEN anyone, SO SORRY) 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.
I RESIGN FROM FR EFFCETIVE IMMEDIATELY. PLEASE DELETE MY ACCOUNT.
Please add me to your goon squad list before the zot. TIA.

“Rudy giuliani” and “conservative movement” are two phrases that don’t belong in the same sentence, unless you are saying “Rudy Giuliani will destroy the conservative movement”.
PLEASE SEE POST 7003 AND GET A CLUE
I'm still not on your list. Now, Al, what did I ever do that would make you like me enough to leave me off your crude, illiterate "goon squad" list? I'm crude! I'm illiterate! I'm a goon! I demand my rights, Al.
Oh well... I'll just have to consider myself one of the "several others" and live with that. I feel so ashamed for not living up to my potential in Al's eyes.
Why the fuss about deleting your account? Just go away if you don't want to post anymore. Sheesh. What a maroon.
Change your password to some random jumble of characters and move along already.
On the contrary, I believe he is trying to save it. Goodbye, Al Simmons - I hope you'll come back when Senator Thompson wins the nomination.
Want a little cheese with that whine?
All Drama, no Queen.
Or is it all Queen, no Drama.
If you are so distraught by the choices made here, maybe you should spend less time where your wisdom and greatness isn’t appreciated and more time amongst those who will show you the deference and respect you obviously you deserve.
I hear The Huff & Puff Post has an opening.
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
