I agree, but I also think that when FReepers make negative posts that the post and possibly the FReeper should be removed.
If negative posts were a reason to yank someone or a post, I would have been banned long ago. But passing spittle like this lie about Sarah’s child and impugning Sarah’s daughter are over the top. And the media hasn’t caught on yet that they are making a huge opportunity for John McCain to publicly denounce this crap, in defense of a Lady, thus scoring numerous points with female voters in the soccer/hockey Mom category. And you can bet it is coming, sooner rather than later.
I would never go so far as to suggest that a poster be removed for making negative posts, I just think that we should not waste the time or the band width to respond to such ridiculous accusations as we have seen since Sarah Pallin was chosen as VP. Such censorship is way too much like the tactics that the Obama campaign uses to cover up parts of the Obama meta-narrative that no longer fit the agenda.
Let’s review some of the parts of the Obama story that we aren’t supposed to talk about, starting with Obama’s middle name, Hussein. Now, why is the world should the use of his given middle name reflect poorly on us? We have used the middle names of most of the presidents that have gone before. It gives a sense of gravitas and stateliness to the name, usually.
Then there is the fact that Obama attended school in Indonesia for four years, where he received Islamic training in both the Catholic school and the Muslim school. Barry, I mean Barack, has stated that he doesn’t even speak another language, other than English, but my neighbor, who lived in Indonesia for thirty years says it would be impossible to attend school there for 4 years and not speak the language. She says that he would also have been taught some Arabic.
Why does Barack Obama not admit all this, if it was such a harmless part of his life.
Then we have all his associations that he now denies had any real meaning in his life, yet he can’t introduce us to anyone who did give his life meaning, except his wife.
He says that he wants to make life better for the poor and middle class people, but he can’t even help his own half brother who lives in a hut on $12 a month. Obama doesn’t help him buy a better house, but he says he’s going to help all the poor people who are going into foreclosure.
This is America, not USSR or Nazi Germany. American democratic tradition is founded on dissenting opinions.
