That's my point. Free Republic is a public forum and by being such is subject to having the public post some pretty weird/radical/politically incorrect stuff.

And that's why JimRob has posting guidelines - so he can toss the stuff he finds objectionable. If you think that's a bad idea, go over to LibertyForum and check out the vile nature of the posters who have crawled out from under their rocks because the proprietors there have tried a no-ban policy.

How is it that you keep saying this and keep completely missing my point? I'll try again:

JimRob can't legitimately be accused of "associating" with undesirables simply by not deleting threads that may have come from a source related somehow to an undesirable. This is because JimRob runs a public forum where diverse points of view are posted by members of the public and not by Jim himself.

Now, if Jim were to somehow highlight, spotlight, feature, or bring undue attention to a thread from some undesirable source it would be an entirely different story. You guys are letting the leftist enemy set the agenda and control what can be said here because you're afraid of what they might say about it.
