That’s not the point. This scuzbucket has likely fabricated a scandal smearing FR by planting posts which were extremely offensive to Freepers but which he immediately wrote a public journalism piece about to try and discredit FreeRepublic.
Also, it was CatM's diary where you got the 'it was pulled, restored then pulled' part for your story.
Again, I don' think you saw the offending thread on Free Republic that you wrote about.
What a joke. hey saquin, we hardly knew ye.
Wow, I feel so loved. :-)
Just because I didn't reply to your posts immediately today doesn't mean I'm hiding. Some of us actually like to get out in the fresh air on beautiful summer Sundays with friends and family.
This Chris Parry seems to me like a real jerk with a political ax to grind. However, we here at FR gave him the excuse to grind that ax. There's been some great soul-searching recently (and I have received many responses to that effect from long-time Freepers who agree) and it would be really unfortunate for that to be lost as everyone hunkers down and pretends it was all some kind of "outside job". Those who have made racist, offensive comments here know exactly who they are. In fact, I wish JimRob would put the pulled thread back up (with offensive comments blacked out) so we can all see again that those posts were made by numerous people; people who had been here for years in many cases and have long posting histories. They should be named and shamed. This kind of behavior had been allowed to escalate for too long.
To become overly defensive (and many of you do seem quite defensive) at this point and pretend that none of these comments were made by "real freepers" would not only be a great act of self-delusion but will be to the detriment of the future of FR. The fact that it was allowed to go on for so long, and was accepted by so many here, is what led to this moment. (And it was accepted, make no mistake. That thread sat here for a long time, with offensive posts intact. It was reviewed, amazingly reinstated and only pulled when the media heat became too much. That's NOT the way we should conduct ourselves, as if the racism is all right here until the "outside world" exposes it. That's cowardly.)
By all means, go after Chris Parry. He deserves it. But you will be harming the future of FR if you don't acknowledge what led to this.
With that, I'm heading back out into the sun. :-)
Don't pine for me too much, indylindy.
Laura Bush is a vagina-American
Conservative aussies are basically racists
Yeah, we wuz annngwy. And lost. So now maybe we need to get angrier, right? Like "fuck you" angrier.
A true progressive loves peacekeepers. The military can shampoo my crotch.Don't get too honored - with a name like USM Eagle, it's hardly a stretch to assume your a Marine. And with your mindless zombie-like predilection to take whatever an elected official tells you as being good for you, the pantomime is complete. If you're not a Marine, you missed your calling. They could clearly use some more yes-men. Ooo-rah.
Oh, you are back. You are one of them and we all know it. I guess you are allowed to hang around for amusement.
Frankly, I would zot your butt. You are no conservative.

Well, it was only an itsy-bitsy fraud.
She probably prefers the Potter movies over me throwing explosives at her rental car.
But that's another story.
Stories, actually.
I see they remain delusional.
:)
Well, when you get out of the sun and your bout with sunstroke, perhaps you could come in from the heat and give our buddy Chris a comeuppance. We will be waiting.
Some how when the truth comes out, you are OTL.
Pathetic.

In its most general sense, a fair use is any copying of copyrighted material done for a limited and “transformative” purpose such as to comment upon, criticize or parody a copyrighted work.

Seems the above might qualify?
Nobody expected Sirius Black was a good guy either. ;-)
Operation Yellow Feather
It is time for accountability from the Chicken Hawks. Let’s continue with Operation Yellow Feather today. This time, when you send your feathers and related Chicken Hawk memorabilia, please encourage Schmidt to make a public statement on her rift with Bubp. Did she just make up her slur against Murtha out of whole cloth? Or is Bubp now lying to save his own political skin? Let’s have a joint press conference and find out.
Keep up the pressure. Print out one of the Chicken Hawk forms below and use it to send a message to Schmidt and Bubp.
Lost Your Chicken Hawk Feather?
The Chicken Hawk Unit Patch
The Classic Yellow Feather (Make sure to explain)
The Ugly Chicken Hawk (Fill in the voice bubble)
Send your forms to:
Rep. Jean Schmidt
8044 Montgomery Rd. Suite 540
Cincinnati, OH 45236
Rep. Danny Bubp
77 S. High St
11th Floor
Columbus, OH 43215-6111
Better yet Fax them.
Fax Schmidt at (513) 791-1696
Fax Bubp at (614) 644-9494
Make sure you let Bubp know that it is not too late to get some combat experience. The Marines could use some help, given the challenges of recruiting young men to die for a lie.
Re: Oooh, the conspiracy (4.00 / 4)
laughing today ‘cause my co-conspirators were knowthings and hollywoodoz...and they both recommended Operation Yellow Feather!
I do like bad bloggers ;^)
Wow. These are the same link backs to a sexual predator who was after my daughter. The predator is not him, however the sites for posting child pornography and “fishing” are all included in the oz handle when cross referenced in google search. This brings back many bad memories.
How else were you going to make her feel at home???
I am agreeing with this sentiment 100%. And I am hoping that the net effect turns out to be a positive one for this board.
Mr.Chrissy poo seems to have forgotten one little thingy.
If he is proven to have posted the hate speech about negroes and blaming Republicans, his sorry little tail will be on the NO FLY LIST.
He will never be allowed in the US again.
I can’t wait.
