The last thing we conservatives should be doing at this time is taking a page from the Leftist playbook by attempting to deny others their free speech rights.

I'm curious how someone's free speech is curtailed by Jim deciding what he wants posted on his own website.

So what if there are FReepers who do not support Palin. Where is it written that they must?

There is a time and a place for such scrums, and they have been freely happening for months. But this is not the time for ankle biting. All Tea Partiers and all conservatives are under attack here, and only those with an axe to grind against both are spewing MSM talking points here.

Oh? Did JimRob change FR's mission from that of a conservative news and information website to a "Sarah Palin for President" website? If so, I missed it.

Yes, which is why it's best to let people who are uncomfortable with Palin's statement today have their say. Just let them have their say and move on. What you see as "ankle biting," others see as their sincerely held beliefs about the situation.

Take me, for instance. If you haven't already, please consider reading my post #518 on this thread. I agree with every word Palin said in her statement today, including the blood libel reference. However, I think her timing and delivery were poor. Does saying so make me any less of a conservative than you? Of course not!
