It went beyond the vetting process with Perry. The threads were full of insults and personal attacks. I’ve been off and on FR for a long time and have never seen anything so viscious as the Perry attacks.

I admit to sour grapes upfront. I haven’t seen anything so vicious either. At first I thought it was just kind of strange but then you figured out who was doing it. They were majority vitriolic Cain supporters who haven’t been here very long. Since getting Perry out of the race was the prime objective of Herman Cain with all his warts, we shouldn’t have been surprised his followers would do the dirty work. They came aboard each day and attacked Governor Perry non-stop. Calling out two in particular: napscoordinator and CainConservative who were unrelenting. You couldn’t even have a conversation with them. They appeared unintelligent. If Perry wasn’t even in the news cycle for the day, they brought him in with their ugly criticism. I know for a fact they didn’t even register on the Governor’s considerations, but it made it uncomfortable here.
Welcome home, Governor.
I know. It began with the crazy mean Palin worship crowd (not all Palin supporters, by far) and they moved to Cain and then melted down with him after Palin abandoned ship.
Their main target was Perry and his supporters. They have two gears - abolute love and adoration and absolute hate and animosity. It’s not really that many people but they were very loud and active attacking the supporters of Perry or anyone not adoring Cain and totally debasing everything about Perry. They could not handle the vetting process because analyzing was not real big in the mob. They seem to have slinked away since Cain got canned. No more adoration to feed them, I guess.
I supported Newt and Perry and I hope Newt adopts Perry’s platform ideas because it contians excellent reform ideas that goes to the heart of many of America’s problems. Newt, although far from perfect, is better for the conservative cause than is Romney.
