Folks, there is nothing wrong with Bob Parks said.
If someone made those comments regarding the Obama kids, Obama or his wife, they are wrong no matter the source, be it a veteran Freeper or a liberal plant, it is wrong.
One can make the observation that the kids may or may not be tools that are being wielded, but even a young girl wearing the peace sign (a symbol I abhor, not because I love war or hate peace, but because of the mindset it represents) should be off limits.
If she is eighteen and speaks her mind independently and publicly, that is different and she can be taken to task, analyzed or ridiculed as the case may be.
But as a dependent child, she is off limits. And that is the way it should be.
All we can do as Freepers is to voice our disapproval, admonish the poster and notify the Admin Mods when we see things like that. If the Admin Mods don’t clean it up, then we can sever or keep our association with FR as we see fit.
I detest Barack Obama, his policies and his practices. I can (and do) label him as a socialist, Marxist and racist. And I am willing to have the discussion with anyone, anytime, anywhere in any forum to back it up.
I don’t care what his race, ethnicity or skin pigmentation is, it is his policies and attitude towards this country I find reprehensible.
One of the things I appreciate about FR is lack of profanity on this site. There is some, I have expressed it myself. But we can generally and usually express our views without resorting to it. The same can be said for racism. If there are people posting here, we should take it on ourselves to police it and notify the admin moderators.
I believe these to be plants, but if we don’t police it ourselves, we let them triumph. And we cannot do that.
Yes, but a liberal plant is not a FReeper. What part of that don't you understand? Can't you distinguish between the two?
Did you read the headline? That's an indictment of the whole of Free Republic. And that is wrong.
