I’d also like to know that. I missed the original thread, and since it’s gone now we can’t see what’s going on. I have to wonder the status of the posters who supposedly wrote these things.
There’s no doubt in my mind leftists will milk this for all it’s worth in an effort to discredit everybody on FR. In my time here, I’ve known FR to be a very civil place, and things like this are not common at all. In fact, I’ve only seen it maybe once or twice.
I’d like to know if any of the people who wrote those things were recent members. Anybody can post here after a quick sign-up. I do find it curious that the screen names were left out of the original article.
The idiotic remarks were probably made by leftists themselves posing as FReepers so to make the whole group look bad. That is an easy thing to pull off.
Please. This racist crap shows up on nearly every thread concerning the Obamas, particularly Michelle and particularly the "Caption This!" threads. It's ubiquitous these days on FR and has no doubt chased many people away (maybe rightly so).
