Mariner says: “This is a continuation of the norm for many (not all) Santorum supporters. If you attack Santorum or ANY of his positions, you, as a Freeper in good standing will be personally attacked by them. It’s been going on for more than a month now. I don’t know if it’s coordinated or if it’s just indicative of the type of support Santorum attracts.”
I find this type of comment, which is rather common among some Newt supporters, to be amazingly out of touch with reality. I think that the Newt supporters, not Rick’s folks, who are the ones who have been repeatedly over the line with grade school taunts and over the top claims about Santorum. For example, one poster on this thread says “Wittle Wicky Santorum is a sissified weasel putz”. Another refers to him as “ayatollah santorum”. Another says “Screw this wanna be boy king.” Still another refers to Rick as “Romney’s “butt-boy” I turn your question back to you: Is this indicative of the type of support Gingrich attracts?
And that’s without mentioning even one of Psycho-Freep’s hate-filled posts.
Your outright personal attacks in the name of moral superiority is what is sickening on this forum. Included, is your lack of courtesy in trying to hide your attacks by not letting the one you are attacking personally know.
It’s a violation of the forum rules. But somehow, you seem to place yourself above all of that. Call yourself a “Christian” all you like. But no Christian I know uses this kind of back stabbing deceit.
‘It kinda says a lot that you can’t differentiate between attacks on a declared candidate for public office...
...and personal attacks on private citizens.
If your question is referring to attacks on the candidate, not the freeper, the answer is clearly yes.
Newt's supporter attack the other candidates viciously. But they don't usually attack other Freepers. If you spot them doing it, call them on it.
And don't you do it either...and if you slip as I myself have done, go back and apologize.
