JIM ROBINSON AS THE NEW JOSEPH FARAH - STABBING THE CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT IN THE BACK [Re:Giuliani]

About me:

Lurker - since 1998

Member - since 1999

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.

Good grief, this thread is approaching 500 posts? 500 posts saying they don’t care about a whiney opus?
That’s a whole lot of effort put into not caring.

Does your count include those posts that say they don't care about the not caring posts?

[bedolido]

I don’t understand!!! hmmmmmmmmmm

I don't care about your post about the posts from people saying they don't care about others who don't care about this opus.

So there.

[vox_freedom]

Thanks for your responses.
Are we at 504 yet?

[bedolido]

no... 505 (I still don’t understand... but who cares!!!???

[red irish]

Was it not Rudi who said there was NOT much difference between him and Hiterly beast? So why would a conservative on a conservative site vote for either of them. I just don’t understand someone crying about it.

[Constitution Day]

I do believe it's 507 now.

[red irish]

Now that is funny!But more important who is the man and who is the woman?lol

I have been thinking about how Rudi behaved on 911 and have come to the conclusion that most people would’ve behaved the same. I mean we were just attacked and thousands of people were killed,how else would anybody have acted.Remember how everyone came together and had flags everywhere and even the hacks in Washington stood side by side.But it’s been a while since that last attack and we are all back hating each other and hardly nobody has a flag on their car or house. Pathetic. Heck I can remember so many people coming back to church and praying and trying to be there for one another,as Americans! Now those same people have left the churches and stopped waving the flag and don’t give a snit about the wot! Dare I say WOT? Is that a hate crime?

Goodbye and thanks for playing.

Yes Rudy said that, for more great quotes by Rudy read flashbunny’s profile page here on FR.

I am anti-Rudy, but I must admit, his recent statements about the Democrats and terror are making me look at him in a different way.

Wish some conservative had his balls and would say what he is saying.

[WalterSkinner]

..not being able to defend one's candidate is a frustrating thing.

Trying to portrait someone as being someone or something else must be a formula for a nervous breakdown.

We never had any problems, but it is clear that you do. To attack and leave with such bitterness indicates the wrong temperment for political discourse--remember it ain't beanbag...

[Kenny Bunk]

My strong feeling is that Fred Thompson gets in in about a month and the tide turns, thus the Gary Hartization of Giuliani.

You have a very good shot at your wish, as Fred is playing his cards very wisely right now. His shaky ideological credentials aside, tactically speaking, Rudy put his money on the table too early for an all-night game.

OK...But would you like to meet the kitties first?

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Viking Kitty/ZOT ping list!. . . don't be shy.

[Monkey Face]

Man. Nothing like stoning yourself in the public square...

[Monkey Face]

I don’t know whether to thank you for the ping or not...so many people are bailing or being banned. I hope it’s not contagious....:o|

Hunter just called for Reid to resign.

[Lucky9teen]

Rudy Smudy....those of us with brains, can clearly see he's a liberal. Why would we want to vote for that?
