I don’t suppose you have any interest in all the members here who made it very clear that Obama’s children should be off limits and are not responsible for their dad’s policies.
Also do you bother asking how long it usually takes a thread or offensive comment to be pulled? Or did you check to see how many here do not tolerate racist comments and bring them to the attention of the moderators?
The moderators have a herculean task to go through all the posts to check for offensive content. But they do a very good job at it, even if it does not always happen instantly.
And you may not be aware of it but the mods do send private messages to those who post offensive crap and give them a warning that continued violation of Free Republic policy will result in being banned. So you don’t have any idea if those who posted the crap were just ignored. You like to give the impression they are tolerated and even encouraged by the Moderators and Administration of this site, but that is not true.
I don’t believe there is every any excuse for racist attacks or attacks against children and if I ever thought this was business as usual on Free Republic I would say so and leave the site without hesitation. But I assure you such things are an anomoly and in no way reflect the values of the majority of conservatives.
I think the gist of this thread is that he himself had a part in the postings, then "reported" about them within 15 minutes to daily kos ( minus screen names, natch); and later to the Vancouver Sun ( where he also works).
All the offensive posters were newbs, and all were banned.
It was a total set-up.
Nope, he has an agenda, and by gosh he's stickin to it.
