I really do not know why FR allows itself to be used for such base purposes. Bigots on FR and in the conservative movement do us all a disservice by alienting minorities. Such people have no place among true conservatives --- and moral people in general.
RCW2001, LarryLied and other anti-Jews are very useful here on FR. They dig up some obscure articles and feeds, that otherwise might go unchallenged. Debunking their meek attempts at propaganda is fun! Just do not take the crap they post seriously

I agree with TopQuark. While they may be entertaining on some level, I think they damage the credibility of FR as a "political" resource. Time spent debunking the underlying premises of the protocols is time wasted, which doesn’t elevate the political consciousness of any of us. And given the volume of posts, lots doesn’t get debunked.

Worse, it plays into the stereotype of Republicans and conservatives as, if not bigots, at least a group who tolerates bigotry in their ranks. Think of how it appears to a lurker who is just “having a look” at conservative political thought.

As another poster once commented, a scrapbook of one of our Freepers comments would be a great asset to James Carville in helping the Dems retain minority voters.

The anti-Israel posters here are well-known and they usually get "the treatment" from normal Freeper when they post. Since anti-semites are pariahs in the real world, one expects them to hide behind computer screens.
