Exactly....it's all run and smear with very little attention to arguing the contention.

If I made the same comments about minorities or women...which I have no reason to anyhow ...but if I did so in the same fashion that rural folks, less educated or poor whites, strong RKBA enthusiasts, and Southerners are here routinely I would be in trouble and the hellhounds on my trail....and I don't mean strictly the AMs.

There is a very very strong undercurrent here amongst a number of FReepers who viscerally despise "culture conservatives" and they are more active than I have ever witnessed before.

Blatant fringers on the other end which really comes down to simply true racists are kicked off this forum handily...and understandably.

Now yes...we also get 3rd rail Libertarians railing against W and DU trolls who get slammed too but what I'm pointing out is relatively new...at least in their strength and tenacity.

The Islam/Muslim factions get pretty intense too. CLOSE to what you describe as "true racists" at times, imo.

Exactly so ! :-)
