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."

Yes I read what you had then replied. By the way, “No way on earth” is not an assertion of fact, it is instead a blatant hyperbole.
Eleven year old children are capable of independent responsible action. At ten years old Alexander the Great tamed and trained his famous horse “Bucephalus” — the bull headed. Twelve year old Okita Soji, legendary Japanese swordsman, defeated a kenjutsu master. Blaise Pascal, famous mathematician, wrote his first proof when eleven years old.
Also, if you had done for me what you find deficient in my doing for you, you would have noted that I did demand an accounting of the girl’s parents for they surely should have known the incendiary political impact of such a statement by the daughter. To wear a design so clearly related to the 1960’s anti-war and nuclear disarmament movements was reasonably foreseeable to result in such a backlash of public rebuke and uproar.
Well I would be interested in knowing the questions and who answered them.
You can hardly compare what Bush's young daughter did with then presidential candidate Obama making a gun-like gang sign.
Depends on where they wear it and their parents (especially such high profile parents) really are in control of what they wear
That is your opinion, and you have the right to present your observations.
There are some who aspire to emulate that trashy look as the pentultimate in the newest fashion wear.
There are others who believe that someone who goes out in public dressed like that should be stoned to death, the latter being mostly of similar religious persuasion as the zero himself.
Making observations, and presenting opinions are in fact a good thing, and should not be summarily dismissed based on the age of the person under discussion.
My personal opinion, (if you are inclined to be curious)is that Momma knows EXACTLY what she is doing, and is using the child as the canvas on which she makes her statement.
I for one, do not agree with the statement, or anything else for that matter that comes out of the mind of Mz O, and will more than likely opine on her choices from time to time, including what venue she chooses to present same.

We HAVE to police ourselves, the mods are quite busy just keeping up with our complaints about inappropriate comments, unauthorized threads, etc.
I’ve made complaints, and been complained about. Had a suspension or two as well, but I mind my p’s and q’s a lot better now.
I was witness to the thread in question, and had another ember’s post pulled, as it basically said the same thing about Malia (as Letterperson said about Willow) because it “reflected poorly on this site” (verbatim from my complaint).
I have no issue with anyone expressing the wrongness of allowing the girl to wear that shirt. And I agree with your perception of Miz O. But I think that is rather typical of liberal parents, don’t you? Indoctrination starts early.
Not hardly, just an exaggerated example, per your own example, to show that age and action can and should be considered on their own merits.
What do you mean “what you’re hearing?” Where are you hearing it if not here?
I will not reveal sources. Sounds like a cop-out and I’ll live with that.
Thanks for clearing that up.
When would it be appropriate to attempt to unravel that indoctrination? At what age?
A soon to be unemployed Aussie-Canadian leftist thug.
It is a cop out. And it certainly is not evidence that Free Republic is awash with racists KKK hoods in hand. Unless you can document the provenance to give it credence it is nothing more than a small minded smear.
You seem determined to paint us with a very broad brush.
On this, we agree. It is a war. But it's not a war against the apparent offspring of Obama. It is a war against the ideas of the left. It is a war against the soldiers of the left. But it is not a war against 11 year olds that happen to have been allegedly sired by the leader of the left in America.
By all means, attack the repeatedly failed concepts that the left presents. Attack those that present it. Attack the foot soldiers that perpetuate the lies of the left. Fight fire with fire (or with facts). But don't extend the attack to the innocent.
Not everybody that voted for Obama and the idiots that make up the bulk of the democrat party are part of the scheme (heck, not everybody that voted for Obama actually exists) - the public has been hoodwinked. It's our job in this war to demonstrate the truth, and in a convincing manner.
If that fails, if we cannot get the message out, then things will truly turn ugly. And I can do ugly. But we have to continue to attempt to get the truth out, even as we prepare for "ugly".
I'd rather, much rather see a pretty solution than an ugly one. But if ugly turns out to be the only way, then its best to be prepared.
I think unraveling is nigh impossible. The best we can do is to keep our own children from being contaminated.
Aww, gee Mom, you're no fun ;-)
No, I haven’t been able to independently confirm that the comments in question were not written by Freepers, and believe me, I’ve been looking for such confirmation.
Given who and what the Obama's are, it is inconceivable that she made the decision to wear that shirt on this trip to meet with the Russians to discuss "nuclear disarmament" and missile defense.
And I apologize for not having read the remaining portion of your post. You obviously DO understand what the bogus "disarmament" movement is all about.
"Total nuclear disarmament", Obama, Russia and the commie left

Until then you deserve it! If you can and if I am wrong I will apologize but right now it sounds like those mysterious "unnamed but reliable sources."
