The Daily Kos has a post up quoting MSNBC personality David Shuster's Twitter page stating his show will be covering the controversy over Free Republic and comments about Malia Obama:
@mikelord @thejoshuablog. We will cover this monday: http://bit.ly/3pqS7M. But follow @joetrippi for what can be done on-line. about 2 hours ago from web
The embedded link goes to the Vancouver Sun hit piece posted earlier to FR
Over at Twitter, the leftists are all in a hypocritical lather over FR.
David Shuster is on sometime mid-afternoon East Coast time Monday-Friday.
Applies to candidates and pudding.
Posters who start spouting racist garbage ride the lighting rather quickly around here. Ask some of the surviving Buchannites around here how many of their fellow got the zot for spouting Pat's anti-Semitic rhetoric.
To paint us all with the same brush isn't just intellectually lazy, it's downright evil.
Oh, without a doubt. That will keep on happening and all we can do is kick them out. I was just talking about the handful that enjoy blurring the line when the chance comes up.
I haven’t participated in this conversation but I’ve read all of it.
I just want to note that in that thread, the picture was posted, and several people apparently hit abuse and several people jumped his butt for posting it.
That is the FR I know. I was on a thread like Saquin was talking about, the thread was pulled. Me and a couple others were jumping on them for their “vernacular” (I’se wants my piece of the pie) and again, several people jumped on the few who were doing that and the thread was pulled.
FR has 300,000 members (I think that’s what I read). There are going to be a few jerks in that amount of people. By and large, they seem to be good decent folks who love God and Country.
Having said that, I do wish we would not post anything near racist, it’s embarrassing to be coupled with people like that. People don’t pick the color of skin they’re born under but they do pick their politics, plenty to get after there!
Agreed.
The idea in America is that if we want good people to run for office we can't make them leave their kids behind ~ and that thought applies whether or not the office holder we get is good or bad.
Now in Alaska the rule appears to be that the children are to be held hostage in designated "domiciles" while the office holding parent engages in state business only 24/7.
Frankly, many of the people in Alaska are crazy. It will be a good thing for many of them to return to California or something.
I have no idea who the guy is. I have that channel blocked because we have children in the house.
You're right. I always post pictures of Aunt Jemima on unrelated threads. Because I LOVE pancakes. That is all.
Exactly. All the millions of DU references to GWB as "chimpy" and we heard crickets. For the life of me I don't see the difference.
And on 9/11 this was the first place I came.
If civility has disappeared I would say the libs have led the country there.
Absolutely. The politics of personal destruction. And Obama is good at it too.
The left has fostered divisive race relations in order to get elected. There will be a price to pay for that. It's not a monster to be controlled once it's created.
‘That is a perfect example of moral relativism. You are saying all posters on the thread are equally guilty for the acts of six.’
No! I’m judged by the company I keep (my mother told me so).
When my company gets out of line I don’t just go along to get along. I am now advising those friends of mine that they are out of line.
Thought about how good they had it when I was standing there in waders with 2 feet of coolant around me and I'm shoveling out 25 pound loads of steel shavings.
Oh, those lucky guys in the mills ~ in summer!
That was one of the charges against Gov. Palin.
The Mods usually only get upset if one keeps hitting “Abuse” for the same post. They may not get to it immediately. But they will look.
I don't like her pancakes at all. Always sends a shiver up and down my spine when I see her holding out a hot buttered plate filled with a stack of such stuff.
You dishonestly left that part out which does change the context.
Bless your heart, you just don't know the difference between lying and telling the truth do you?
Ahhhhh. You meant our “idjits”. Yeah. We have some. Every family does.
Even "The Nation" site got into that kind of stuff ~ apparently the sponsor does no monitoring of the site and let's all sorts of trash float around in there.
I was banned from both however!
This troll lies dormant for long periods, then pops up to post threads that he abandons. Drive-by postors is what we used to call them.
Touche’
Wait. Now that I think about it. If every FReeper did watch it, maybe the advertisers on Ms.NBC will start thinking to themselves, "Why the hell are we paying all this money for nobody to watch our commercials when there are obviously millions of potential viewers out there that these anchors are alienating?"
Or do advertisers think along those lines?
