Bill O'Reilly has called Free Republic a hate site and he may now have some ammunition to back up that assertion.
"A typical street whore." "A bunch of ghetto thugs." "Ghetto street trash." "Wonder when she will get her first abortion."At a time when the administration is seeking any reason to squelch any speech it deems "hate", as well as the entities where that speech may be found, what the hell were these people thinking?These are a small selection of some of the racially-charged comments posted to the conservative 'Free Republic' blog Thursday, aimed at U.S. President Barack Obama's 11-year-old daughter Malia after she was photographed wearing a t-shirt with a peace sign on the front.
The thread was accompanied by a photo of Michelle Obama speaking to Malia that featured the caption, "To entertain her daughter, Michelle Obama loves to make monkey sounds."

And just a PS. I don’t think of an eleven year old who kills someone as a child. Perhaps I should clarify that.
You want and desire war. You see it as a way to victory. Even the bodies of children, as long as their parents were “the enemy”, wouldn’t slow you down by the sound of your rhetoric.
As you said, first comes the name calling, then comes the violence, then comes the killing.
When will the first child of a politician be physically attacked? Will it be the child of a liberal or a conservative?
Will you rejoice knowing the war is getting closer, or will you realize what you are advocating?
It is, after all, an exaggerated example, so it should be given a pass, no?
I can’t see your point. I’ll keep reading and hope that it comes to me.
Certainly not Clara Lou, I was responding to another post.
no, he/she is just being sarcastic, trying to prove a point to me.
On one of these threads, I read that the worst of the replies on the subject thread were newbies who had recently signed up. Suspicious, wouldn’t you say?
I’m thinking, for the most part (if not the whole part), the most terrible of the comments were posted by enemy agent provocateurs who did so to discredit FR.
Sure and you just want to argue.
ok
“I see the same dynamic of hatred at work today. I stand by my prediction of full scale civil war within three years or less.
And you are right there egging it on. You want it, you think we can “win” a full scale civil war.
I have compared Obama not to Carter but to Buchanan for the exact same reasons that you listed above. If the war comes, though, I will not be rejoicing.”
I’m a Vietnam Vet and I’ve seen civil war up close in all its horror and I don’t want it for my country; however, there are worse things than civil war - like living under communism. So if the choice is between doing urban combat against the leftards in this country with the chance of defeating them and living in freedom, I’ll take the civil war.
KOS, DU, HuffPo, etc. has just told us by their objections
to a few posts on FR:
Their posts on the daughters of Gov. Palin, the son with Downs syndrome, the culture of Alaska, etc. will also not be tolerated by caring Americans.
The year long trashing of Trig, from who the mother is to
jokes on retardation, to photoshop pics.
Jokes on daughters being raped, etc. and the list could go on and on.
KOS, DU, HuffPo, SNL, Letterman, etc.
We too will not accept this bashing and trashing
of the children of Gov. Palin.
So, you agree that the age is not as important as the act?
The majority, yes, but everytime we have a “Stormfront” invasion, a few hotheads get caught up in the rhetoric and say stupid things.
This wasn’t “Stormfront”, but the same result happened sadly.
If an eleven year old was to shoot someone in cold blood I would indeed say there was something very wrong with that eleven year old.
And sadly these days it is not too far fetched to believe such a thing could be a possibility.
But I still say that to attack an eleven year old personally because of a clothing choice is wrong. Nothing wrong with criticism or voicing reservations about the choice but to impugn a child over such things is a low blow.
And yes I think her parents were wrong to allow her to wear it. I only saw a glimpse of the photo (I never did see the original post) but I though the shorts were immodest and the shirt itself rather trashy looking.
Of course you’ll take it. You have convinced yourself that it is the only way. So you are talking yourself up over it.
Why don’t you open “The Republic” by Plato and read some. The things that are happening today were happening back then.
Societies have an ebb and flow to them. Maybe then you will realize that your neighbors blood doesn’t have to run past your house in order for freedom to be realized again.
It is rather typical for children to wear clothing which is considered fashionable by their peers.
But am I to understand you equate the wearing of a trashy Tshirt with a cold blooded crime as far as wrong actions go?
Democratic Underground went after her like flys to honey.. Google Jenna Bush Hook em Horns and there are thousands of nasty comments leveled at her.
I.E.."Jenna Bush thanks her dad's biggest supporter. Satan. - Democratic ...You are all wrong, it's the family symbol for BUSHIT.... www.democraticunderground.com/
The hypocrisy coming from the left remains the same.
Did not the repeated phrases “ghetto”, “street trash”, by different posters and the repeated use of “long time posters” by the complainer cause you some suspicion? To me it sounds just like the MSM commentators all using similar phrases when they are following the daily Democrat talking points. That in itself should have made you suspicious.
I think you took advantage of a probable fraud in an attempt to make yourself look good, or at least objective, instead of doing some investigations of your own.
From the history of FR on these kinds of things the least you could have done was hold your water until some Freeper checked it out. Now you should see that. If not, check with Dan Rather and Mary Mapes and the Obama birth certificate posters.
We’re not “trashing children.” We’re commenting on an attitude, something much bigger than that. I really don’t think the child chose her outfit for such a sensitive international event.
Well, I will say this: I’ve been asking questions and the answers I’m getting are some you all may not want to hear. Without permission, I won’t divulge what I’m hearing, so I’ll take the hit.
