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.

What does this mean?

It means that this place is an official Donald Trump Safe Space.

So take your Free Speech off to the Free Speech Zone. It's located on the other end of the campus near the horse barn. And don't display any signs until you get there. We don't want you upsetting any of the snowflakes.

As I said to you after another of your ridiculous posts (you know, the one where you not so subtly advocated for violence against delegates):

You, sir, are a detestable American. May our posterity forget that your ilk were ever our countrymen.

Your intentions may have been good but the premise is disgusting. Perhaps the argument should be we need to vote against hillary and not try to hide Trump’s issues.

Or do you think DT can save the universe without any help from Congress. I guess he can use his pen and phone, eh?

That is exactly what they want. The Trumpsters want King Trumpy who will rule the way they want by decree. The heck with a constitutional republic.

Which web sites should be allowed?

Conservative Treehouse, Gateway Pundit and....?

Maybe just make a house rule that only pro-Trump stories can be posted from anywhere.

but you don’t HAVE a candidate yet!

banning posts from MULTIPLE websites that arent DU?

talk about stress: almost like a sarc post, without the /s/

I’m waiting for the explanation of how abortion is OK in case of rape, incest, mom health.

OR how its OK that he’s gonna raise taxes on the rich.

OR that he believes men should be allowed to use womens’ facilities.

These arent things that someone else is claiming he said....these are headlines! where is the conservative in these views?

Is it too late for trump to run third party? if that is the fear, it should be open for discussion - NOT shut down ALL discussion!

Cruz is toast anyhow

Isn't that what McDaniel said in MS, before insider shenanigans were used to steal the nomination from him?

This is silly. Coulter & Nero are both pro-Trump. Matthew and Eli have written fair articles about the Donald. Ben & Michelle deservedly got the boot (and also took Schachtel and Stepman down with them); but remember even Ben wrote "The Magic of Donald Trump" in 2011. You've got to remember at some level these clickbait sites are just a game.

Yeah it's pwned by a Cruz SuperPACker whatever. Better to rebuff & rebut any invalid articles here than have them gain traction somewhere else.

Remember the threads here that dissected the video that proved then-Breitbart reporter Fields was lying about having been thrown to the ground? Sorry I'm not giving up that kind of Schadenfreude. Too delicious...

“It means that this place is an official Donald Trump Safe Space.”

For the duration of the campaign, it must be. Otherwise Hildabeast wins.

Only governments can violate 1A rights, but c’mon, man, get with the program and support your position, not try to silence someone else’s.

So you'd be OK if Jim allowed Stormfront stuff on his web site?

Stop whining and educate!
You are defending Trump when there is no need. There NEVER is.
You’re cringing about a donation and defending it with the fact that it was 4 years ago. Why? Did Trump do a no-no in your book? What did he do wrong?

Trump did donate to LGBT.
Do you know why?
Do you recall a show called “The apprentice”?
The winners chose who Trump was to donate to in their name.
That was the rule of the show.
Trump donated as a businessman and not as a private person or politician.

Instead of whining about some negative articles about Trump, do some research and write counter articles with the real facts. Maybe find other groups to which Trump donated through the show, groups which would infuriate the libs but soothe your soul.

Do something positive! Educate don’t attack.

I agree. Gosh, I still have the ability to read the articles I choose and skip the ones I don’t want to see!

It’s impossible to parody FRumpster mania. Before we can come up with something outrageous to thing to imply that they would do in support of Trump, they actually do something even more outrageous.

Censoring bad press is harder than you think. Work, work, work. You’ll have to quadruple your admins, get serious about banning all nay sayers, and keep up with an ever changing litany of coded language.

Its too early to write off Breitbart.com, although the connections to Mercer and Cruz have become apparent. Same with National Review

Wait and see what happens after Trump clinches the GOP nomination. At that point if these organizations are still rabidly anti-Trump then they might as well be pro-Hillary, and I'd say cut them loose.

former new yorker here, so I’m VERY familiar with the need to do business with EVERYONE in the state.

I’m not concerned about the donations he made four, three, two or even ONE year ago.

I’m concerned about the comments he is making RIGHT NOW, TODAY, IN PUBLIC.

Abortion. Taxes. Access to girls facilities.

These NEED TO BE ADDRESSED, not brushed under the carpet.

If Free Republic becomes a “safe space” for any candidate, then we are no better than the leftist universities that ban any meaningful discussion of issues.

If that is what it will take to fight off the Hildebeast, then we have already lost.

I can only pray that your attitude is not typical of the Freepers who remain after this current purge.

What have we become? We have become the very thing we purport to oppose. We have met the enemy and it is us.

Thanks but it may be IBTZ. I’m walking on eggshells.
