the reporter may npy have gotten his facts “wrong” but this steve gilvert mentioned in the article was a DU troll that defended jimma carter on his first day, which couldn’t have been more than two weeks ago. I know because i complained about him to a mod.

So, my take is a bunch of du trolls signed up and purposefully got themselves banned so they could write an article about a “purge” at FR

It was before my time but my understanding is that Gilbert came to Freep in 1998.

Did you mean his first day on his last account - Sam Hill?

Or did you mean he defended Jimmy Carter on Carter’s first day - the latter is understandable - Jimmy ran as the first Evangelical promising to cut taxes, cut government, cut welfare etc. He promised to take able bodied people out of the welfare system entirely and put them under the labor department.

Pat Robertson supported Carter. Jerry Falwell supported him. Reverend Falwell cited his feelings of betrayal at Jimmy doing the opposite of what he promised as the key factor in bringing Evangelicals into conservative politics.

But if Mojo was praising Carter in 2005 something is wrong - I didn’t always have smooth relations with Mojo/Sam Hill/Steve Gilbert but the policies he supports are utterly different than the way Carter governed - it doesn’t match up for him to support Carter recently.

You give DU too much credit my FRiend! This article & the comments at the "observer" are those of Anti-FReepers , who for many years now have tried "every which way but loose", to bring down Mr. Jim, and FR . They will continue to be unsuccessful!

I don't know about that, but I do know since a few Julie-Annie lovers are no longer here, there isn't much pro-homosexual agenda drivel being pushed.

You're still a relative newbie, eh?
