“When it comes to negative stories on our people, I don’t condemn based on “media reports” until I know the facts and hear from THEM. It’s a shame so many so-called FReepers believe whatever the media tells them.”
I agree. I see very little substantiated FACT being discussed. The whole thing seems to be a tempest in a teapot via pop culture. I wouldn’t be at all surprised that this is also an attempt by the leftists to smear this guy.
The comments in this thread make me wonder if FReepers haven’t been replaced with DU’ers this morning, how gleefully they aid and abet the smearing of a decent man based on biased reporting and half-truths. This is precisely why so many Conservatives don’t bother to run for office. If we don’t even circle the wagons with our best leaders to give them the benefit of the doubt until all the facts are in when so-called “stories” like this come out, it doesn’t speak well to us. I’m truly ashamed at what I’ve seen in this thread. I wonder how many will personally apologize to Gov. Sanford if this turns out to be exactly what I’ve said... a non-story ?
