Today is our final call to let your voices be heard. If you don't know what this issue is about read this http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2290929/posts and http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2291015/posts

Call his employer and let them know your disgust at these quotes of his. Contact info is below.

Chris Parry said, "If Laura Bush was on fire in front of me...I'll admit, I would use a fire extinguisher. To crush her Femmebot-like head like a coconut, then I'd run around the block, giggling and yelling and firing off the extinguisher like a drunken fratboy at a South Beach Motel 6"

Chris Parry Said "Laura Bush is a vagina-American"

Chris Parry called texans "Whitey" and "Crackers"

Chris Parry said regarding Palin "Was she pregnant? Was she lying? Doesn’t matter what the answer is. What matters is we keep asking the fucking question until she’s forced to address it once and for all. Because THEN we win. And THEN we can be pure again. Fool me once, I’ll punch you in the fucking head."

Chris Parry said “If God were a Republican, he’d be in the military, giving the order to shoot first, ask questions later. And if he did end up killing an unarmed Iraqi, for example, he’d empty thirty bullets into him, then reload, then another thirty. Then he’d hang a sign around the corpse warning other unarmed Iraqis that it could happen to them. Then he’d be arrested, investigated, acquitted, and turned into a trainer of other soldiers, while the guy who ratted on him would be dubbed `weak’ and transferred to latrine cleaning duty for the next three years.”

Chris Parry said "$2m says Palin does porn"

Again, it wasn’t that the comments were made. It’s that they were approved by mods, removed, then reinstated after review.

That is a false statement...There were individual comments removed and then the entire thread was removed....The person who gave you this information is covering up their own involvement. Believe them at your own risk...It's all documented...IPs from the improper posters and all.

Take the advice and get a lawyer immediately....The legal eagles that work pro bono for FR are already at work....Hope you can afford the cost.

[Trailerpark Badass]

If I didn’t make that clear enough in the piece, I apologize.

LOL, I can even imagine you putting your pinkie to the corner of your mouth and fluttering your eye lashes when you typed that.

[Nickname]

I agree.

This was just one of what will be many, many attacks against right-leaning outlets.

The left isn’t just out for power, they’re out to DESTROY any opposition they have and I think that in their minds, the ends justify the means.

[dforest]

After reading this thread, it sounds like Parry needs to write a searing indictment piece about himself and add it to his tale about FR.

He thinks a meager apology for the filth he penned is good enough. Just like a lefty.

[Trailerpark Badass]

I don’t remember doing it,

Why is it necessary to keep saying you don't remember doing it?

Did you have drinking/drug problem at the time?

[mnehring]

Nor is it about the inappropriate remarks. It’s about the site owners taking them down, then reinstating them and mocking someone who complained.

Actually, according to the mods on a thread yesterday, they where removed as are all racist comments, but when it appeared something fishy was going on by the fact that KOS had a copy of the posts within minutes and most where by newbies, they restored it to show that most FReepers where attacking the racist posts and to show we weren't trying to hide them. There was no 'mocking' of those who complained by the mods. It is apparent you wrote your story from the KOS post, not seeing the original article because you only mention the few members who stood up, not the fact that most did. From what I understood also, it was taken down again and those posters where zotted.

An intrepid reporter might ask how KOS where able to get those posts so quickly and why it was all over the place within five minutes.

Mouthing off on the internet is normal, you admitted doing it yourself and you should admit, those comments you made where far more vile than the ones you saw here. The real story it seems is how some sites attempt to create a story by making statements to paint the other side the way they want. An entire book was written on this called "Hillary's Secret Warriors". It was exposed how the DNC had professional bloggers infltrate sites like this and plant comments to either raise discord or create false images.

There is an entire war going on in the internet for controlling the story line. Most people these days look up a story by a Google search, so things like Google Bombing to control the story have become the norm (you would know about that wouldn't you.) Maybe it is time to step back and look at the big picture, not just some anonymous comments on the internet. As yourself why MSNBC, for example, devotes so much time to this. How is that any different than going into a bar and evesdropping on drunk folks and making news about that?

Are you going to be an intrepid journalist in the cut of Woodward and Bernstein or are you going to just be another tool?

[jokyfo]

Perhaps you don’t realize that threatening the former First Lady physically is a federal crime. You just don’t know when to shut up do you boy?

I’ve forwarded your confession to the Secret Service, the FBI, the US Marshall’s office, the RCMP and also to local Vancouver law enforcement. Remember, Liberal, you have hate crime laws in that silly country of yours.

BTW, there is no statute of limitations on that crime.

[DJ MacWoW]

Now, if you guys had said, “Yeah, fair cop, we should have kept them down” or “those comments were uncool, they should never have been approved in the first place,” then my story fades into nothingness.

Then you needed to do more research. This was posted BEFORE your story. The truth is that you wanted to harm FR. This is not about fairly targeting a forum. It's about being partisan.

One more from the left: Free Republic Pulls Thread Bashing Malia Obama

Now, have I been a good boy every second I’ve spent on the internet since 1994? Heck no. I’ve said some dumb things in my time, back when I was in my early 20’s and never thinking about what might happen ten years down the line.

Your comments on Palin are recent. You need to own them. The 3 posters that made comments on the pulled thread need to own them and not all of FR. This is about personal responsibility, yours and theirs.

The story was accurate. Own it.

Is it?

[Trailerpark Badass]

Now, have I been a good boy every second I’ve spent on the internet since 1994? Heck no. I’ve said some dumb things in my time, back when I was in my early 20’s and never thinking about what might happen ten years down the line.

You've posted some pretty foul stuff much more recently than 1994.

Again, your equivocations make you look like a weasel.

[jokyfo]

Why don’t you write a piece in your own paper, (before they dump you) admitting the statements you made and letting everyone see them?

[Pistolshot]

Tool.

[trisham]

If I didn’t make that clear enough in the piece, I apologize.

*******************

An apology here on Free Republic is nowhere near enough.

[DJ MacWoW]

The left's main characteristic is one of hypocrisy. I am not surprised at Mr Parry's attitude nor that of his paper.

PS to Mr Parry: I pinged you because I mentioned you in my response and it is FR etiquette to ping someone when speaking of them.

[ChrisParry]

DJ: Oh, allow me to make it clear, I take nothing back about Sarah Palin.

At the time there was much conjecture about her pregnancy, if you recall, and I honestly believed that those questions should be addressed.

Same as you guys do about Obama’s birth certificate. Keep asking the question and it will eventually be addressed.

Do I think Palin was covering for the pregnancy of her daughter? Probably not. But in the heat of an election, the question was a fair one to ask, and that’s what my post said, clearly.

[ChrisParry]

Hoosier said: “That is a false statement...There were individual comments removed and then the entire thread was removed....The person who gave you this information is covering up their own involvement.”

Hi Hoosier,
Sorry, but you’re wrong. When the thread was reinstated, Jim added a post saying the complainer is right and the kids should be off-limits because it’s not their fault their father is a “leftist marxist pig.”
Yes, it was ultimately removed, but only after it became a feeding frenzy on a host of other blogs.

[ChrisParry]

Hi Mnehring,

I’m sorry, but that story doesn’t compute. The note posted by Jim made no mention of sneaky goings on. He just said leave the kids alone.

Which is pretty good advice, isn’t it? I mean, all of you who want me to go die somewhere or something, do you disassociate yourself from the remarks? Would you call them racist? Do you think they’re a stain on the name of the site?

Because, really, that’s all I wanted to hear and the story become moot.

But you guys keep coming, as if you’re defending the posts, by pointing to anything you can find that I’ve ever written that might have been off-colour.

Let’s be clear, I’m no saint. But I didn’t call the 11-year-old daughter of the Commander in Chief a whore. Freepers did that.

[ChrisParry]

Badass said: “Why is it necessary to keep saying you don’t remember doing it?”

Because I don’t recall the context of one post out of some several thousand over six years. Maybe I was having a really bad day. Maybe it was 3am and I’d been out all night.

Dunno. Can’t say. But it wasn’t cool.

[Admin Moderator]

It’s that they were approved by mods, removed, then reinstated after review.

We need to step in here because you are continuing to pass along a lot of bad information. They where not 'approved by mods, removed, then reinstated'. The accounts had reached the threshold where the posts didn't need approval to post. They posted them, as soon as they where caught, they where removed as any racist post would be. They where only restored for a short period when KOS started throwing a fit, not because they where acceptable comments, but we wanted to show how most of the site attacked racist posts and called them out as unacceptable.

[mrmeangenes]

Ummm... You didn’t look too hard !

I left out about 10 names - too common to search.

Let me see if I’ve got this right: the Evil Leftist had originally bad mouthed Republicans, and had talked about smearing them.

Some posters on FR saved him the trouble-by stepping into it knee deep,and smearing it around.

Therefore our remedy is to scream for the leftist’s head,while waving the banner of comparative morality.

Gotcha.

[Trailerpark Badass]

BS, it's just more weasel-speak.

Believe me, you're no "man." That fact just oozes from everything you write.
