FR Management should ban posts from Breitbart

Posted on 04/24/2016 2:58:24 AM PDT by markomalley

I've started to see Breitbart host more and more pro-Cruz propaganda items on their sites. If they're going to continue posting anti-Trump lies and deception, they should go the way of "Right Scoop" and not be allowed to be posted on this site.

For example, this morning I come across a scurrilous piece by Dr Susan Berry, Donald Trump Foundation Donated $20K to Public School LGBT Activist Group GLSEN. Not saying that it's true, but even if it was, since when would Donald Trump have day-to-day management control on each and every donation made. Besides, it was 4 years ago. What relevance is this to today?

This just shows that it may not be a reliable news source any longer. I think articles from this source should be banned from FR.

Please tell me this is sarcasm.

Are we going to ban all criticism of The Annointed One?

Shall we refer to him as Dear Leader?

Point taken, and I don’t want to fight.

I just don’t think that opposing *conservative* views should be banned.

FR isn’t PR for the GOP. FR is thought for the GOP - and I wish they’d listen. That was simply what I was getting at.

Any organization the would have employed Ben Shapiro and Michelle Fields would have to be a cause for concern. Shapiro sought to bring down Trump even more than Fields. I am glad both have been flushed out of Breitbart.

Breitbart allows this stuff to sneak in behind a thin veneer of supporting Trump.

You actually think articles are "sneaked" in...?

So any website that doesn't support Trump is anti-Trump...?

Comparing Jim Robinson and this web site to being Nazis and Communists really?

I believe the post was a sarcastic reference to the wanting to ban a website because the poster doesn't agree with their speech. Unfortunately Post 16 left off the /sarc tag!

FR management should ban any article fom any source that has information about Trumps past that could stress out his snowflakes, then rename this site TrumpRepublic

I agree. The mods need a break and their ZOT button is wore out but a new one is on order that reads ZOTZOT for after he is elected.

This isn't about free speech. This is about being in campaign mode until after the election is done and over with.

Wow... you want the owner to ban websites that are not 100 % pro Trump...suppressing free speech, which is his right as owner...

In other words you want FR to be part of a de facto Trump campaign...

Gee, all along I thought this was a conservative website, not a arm of the Trump campaign...

Guess, I better catch up...

No sarcasm.

And let me stress again (in case you think I've had some sort of conversion experience), I DO NOT LIKE DONALD TRUMP.

The thing is that I like Hillary Clinton less. A whole lot less.

The people have spoken and they selected a candidate that I don't like. But he is who we have to run with.

Unless we want Hillary in office, we have to hold our noses and press forward with what we have. And that means that we need to control our speech until that time. Anything that allows for division, anything that puts a chink in his armor that could be exploited by the enemy needs to be suppressed. Divisions within the conservative movement are just the chink in the armor that the pro-Hildabeast superpacs can exploit to do so. Articles from sources that are questionable can end up exposing chinks.

I am keeping my powder dry and holding my tongue until November 9th. I think we would all be well advised to do that.

Until November 9th, yes. After November 9th, of course not.

Freedom of speech for me, but not for thee?

How utter Liberal.

Silence the opposition, quickly, before the sound of marching jackboots drowns them out.

If you have been “told” who you “have to” vote for, and believe it, then you’re as big a fool as the one who told you that.

This is a self funding website, not real sure it's a smart move to start alienating people who support this site, but haven't drunk the Trump kool-aid...

Fortunately, you aren't the owner...

If Trump is the nominee, I will vote for them...I simply have great reservations about him as a human being...

Silence the opposition

Until after the elections this November, that's 100% correct.

Let’s just ban articles from every news source out there that isn’t owned by Trump Enterprises. Don’t allow any criticism of Trump on this forum at all. Just make this place a “safe space” for Trump supporters.

That will ensure a Trump victory in November. How could I be so blind as to not see the light? Pass the Kool Aid, brother.

Wait to Mr shoot from the hip uses the N word, or Hillary releases all the documents on Trump from the Clinton library and massage parlour that are on the way, and his mob ties, tons of video of him saying stupid crap that is being held onto to, etc....this is not going to go well.
