Vanity.... My post was pulled because it mentioned Affrmitive Action.

I guess FR is as PC as CNN and MSNBC, there was a day when FR could talk about anything, I guess Obama beat down JR too. :-(

Not having seen the original thread before it was pulled, I wonder if there were other reasons it was deleted

well, it mentioned the advancement of black doctors through Affmitive Action. What ya think?

I've seen threads pulled not because of the subject matter presented by the poster, but because they became magnets for offensive comments by others.

I remember one thread, a few years ago, that veered more and more off course - into fairly offensive language and metaphor - as it grew past 50 replys. Finally, the mods pulled it. The comment on the purple page was something like "I don't have time to babysit this thread."

Change your name to MrRacist.

[MrPiper]

No,it said for review, I guess I stepped on some admins relatives toes.....

[MrPiper]

Change your name to MrRacist.

ya know, for the record, I dove into a river to save a drowning black man about 20 yrs ago, and did.

Does that make me a racist?

Well, I guess as long as you dont mention black people and Affirmative Action, you are OK..

I understand about affirmative action, but what do you mean "black people"?

25 years ago, we had Ronald Reagan, Johnny Cash, and Bob Hope.
Today we have Obama, no cash, and no hope!

If you can't appreciate the pure beauty of the violin after hearing this, something's wrong with your ears.

Or you can get raw with these strings.

How about this gamechanger from America's Got Talent (which they SHOULD have won).

Either way, the violin is sweet yet lethal.

Do it!

Figures.

The long term Soros plan vis a vis Free Republic almost worked.

Well, I would think that a comment that mentioned an admin's relatives in almost any context could be reasonably be characterized as pushing one's luck.

[Kirkwood]

No, it makes you a racist troll.

[MrPiper]

No, it makes you a racist troll.

for mentioning Affrmitive Action, wow, FR is really slipping to the left side!

[Kirkwood]

I saw what you posted in the other thread that was pulled. Turned my stomach to see that vile crap. We don’t judge people here on the color of their skin. We judge people by their deeds.

No. For not being able to discuss inequity without engaging in gross generalization and stereotypical innuendo.

Quite a few people (I suspect) saw what you posted on that other thread. You were lucky all they did was pull it.

Ahhh. Now we're getting somewhere.

Truth comes out for those of us that did not see it.

Okay then... Back to your ill-advised attempt to discuss welded-chain mailbox supports.
I understand those things drive the Koch brothers crazy.
They don’t like them, not one bit.

[shibumi]

You want ill advised?

Try using welded chain to support a gun-shaped mail box!

[Bullish]

Didn’t you know that they pull every 5th thread just to be fair?

IATZ!!!

(obviously I am way after the Zot!)

[ObamaMustGo2012]

I was once banned because I commented on a post about Jeb Bush by saying something like, “No offense, but I don’t want any more Bush’s as president of this country.”

Banned! All you had was your post deleted.
