Apparently you missed the numerous threads where anyone who wasn’t wholly behind Gov. Palin was labeled, among other things: homosexual, PDSer, “concerned”, troll, RINO, DUer, RomneyBot, supporter of the Huckster, Democrat, liberal, etc.
This is a significant development at FR not only because many people have been waiting for Gov. Palin to announce her candidacy, but because a subset of those same FReepers were downright nasty to anyone who didn’t agree with them. Not only were they nasty, after they ganged up on fellow Freepers and drug them through the dirt, they’d then celebrate on the thread giving, as one FReeper put it, “high-fives”. For me, the whole Palin candidacy question has been a real eye opener. And not in a good way.
Not to pat myself on the back, but I’m one who mentioned “high-fives” a month or so ago. What those posters did to FR is beyond disgusting, and now some of them are whining about Palin being treated unfairly on FR, which is an absolute joke.

Thanks for your posting. I agree; I have been dragged through the town and copied while the lead poster “high-fived” her PALIN LIST. Not what I expected here; and from what I can tell FR has no value to me. Delusionals can have it.

I agree 1000% — I was one of those who, just because I DARED say Gov. Palin wouldn’t run, I was called every name in the book, including many that aren’t even supposed to be allowed. (btw the thing you addressed in your post is one of the most hateful of the bunch).
To those people, I say the following: I *WAS* the voice in the wilderness. My analyses *WERE* correct.
And, to be frank, my FRiend (I see you were also the subject to spittle-flecked hate and vitriol), my immediate reaction this evening on hearing the news (on Hannity) wasn’t the implication to the USA. It was a deep sense of vindication to the goons and buffoons who quoted Sun Tzu (and lieingly claimed to have read his works) every time someone stated the obvious: she wasn’t going to run and her delay in saying so was not a good thing.
So you palinstas can KMA while you are dining on crow. As 4P pointed out, you contributed to the darkest and most dismal times in FR history. Your hate was only surpassed by your denial and complete lack of decorum.
You people owe me and folks like 4P — and payment will be extracted. Revenge is sweet but payback is...well you know.
(again, 4P, this is directed at the hateful crowd, not you).
Going through the thread...your comment is spot on. I was a Palin supporter up until about 2 months ago and after the debate where she disparaged Rick Perry. But I’ve seen how others were treated and the nastiness directed toward other FReepers. It was disgusting and like you said, opened my eyes...not in a good way.
I saw...and I don’t like it when any of us gang up on the others.
I love the freedoms that America holds out for all of us, but we do need to remain civil in our discussions.
I hope you never saw me do that. If I did, I am very sorry.
