Sure the Trig Palin smear is nasty...but...

Chelsea Clinton had plastic surgery...chin implant.

[TruthWillWin]

Point taken Sam.

[Melinda]

The first time I saw the “morph” I laughed out loud, thought it was hilarious, an obvious joke. The Dems are posting articles attempting to turn a rumor into reality at the expense of the reputation of a 15/16 year old girl, smearing her as we speak. The morph does not smear Chelsea's reputation. Joke vs. vicious rumors aimed against a teenager, NOT EQUIVALENT.

[woofie]

ya made a good point...did any of us believe it ?

[txradioguy]

Well since you’ve been here 10 years surely you can produce links to what you claim.

Right?

[NewJerseyJoe]

> You mean like the little black boy in Arkansas who looked just like X42?

huh?

[Artemis Webb]

Sam Paine is no troll. He's been on FR longer than you and he is CORRECT.

To GOP_Party_Animal: it was not a “one time jest”. It was constant and the claims that Chelsea was Webb Hubbells (sp) child were common.

To incredulous joe: Paine isn't painting all FReepers with a broad brush but it our collective site and we bear some responsibility for our past indiscretions. Many here are very willing to take collective credit for the undoing of Dan Rather but shy away from responsibility when we get the facts wrong.

To piytar: You weren't on FR in the days of the Clinton Presidency. You didn't see the wild Y2K crowd predicting the end of civilization on a daily basis here either but trust me...it was common.

Sure, there may be marginal individuals on FR but that’s unavoidable in an online community this size. On the other hand, the mainstream of the Daily Kos is over-the-top nasty and puerile.

Well, the MSM delights in using those 'marginal individuals' to tarnish all conservatives with the freak brush.

I'm just saying, for example, if we'd focus on the merits of MARXISM BEING BAD NO MATTER WHAT and less time on where Obama went to school as a pre-teen, then maybe we'd attract more converts. Just saying.

[1rudeboy]

You, sir, are an absolute jackass!!!! Scum

What the heck is that all about? He made an observation. Cope with it.

[Gorzaloon]

Because the one on FR is clearly in jest, the Kos post was presented as legitimate.

No one here REALLY believed that Janet Reno was Chelsea's daddy.

[Artemis Webb]

Sam Paine no troll and you are sadly misinformed.

[sam_paine]

“chelsea web hubble site:freerepublic.com” Well, you got 50% of your search terms correct.

[sam_paine]

the Left and the MSM have done their fair share of trashing the Bush twins and now they've started on the Palin kids. When it came to Chelsea the MSM was certainly ‘hands off’

Totally agreed.

[Dr. Ursus]

I guess the rumor started because Hillary lives with Huma
in D.C.and not with her husband. The rumors became so bad
that they set-up a fake romance with Con.Anthony Weiner,a
self-described life-time bachelor.

[Marie]

I have *never* accepted, added to, or defended rumors concerning the children of *any* candidate’s child: regardless of party affiliation.

[katykelly]

No, he said it to Juanitta Brodwick after he raped her.

[KayEyeDoubleDee]

How many times have we propagated the Huma/Hillary lesbian rumor mill with a wink and a nod and a [POST]?

I'm sorry, but the Huma Abedin story involves a very legitimate threat to national security:

Huma Abedin & Hillary Clinton - Abedin Family Ties to Al-Qaeda
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1924323/posts

Huma Abedin & Hillary Clinton - Who is Funding Huma Abedin's Lifestyle?
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1921983/posts

Is Huma Abedin an Agent of Saudi Intelligence?
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1919649/posts

I don't know whether Huma & Hillary engage in any mutual carpet diving with one another, but there isn't a doubt in my mind that Huma has connections to Saudi intelligence, and probably Pakistani intelligence [which is in bed with the Taliban in Afghanistan], and maybe even straight through all the way to Bin Laden himself.

[MilspecRob]

Because the one on FR is clearly in jest

Nonsense

[Shooter 2.5]

Chelsea has always been treated with kid gloves here on FR because she was a minor at the time and what her parents did was not her fault. The gloves came off only when she joined the campaign travel.

As far as conspiracy theories go, Free Republic is, unfortunately, Conspiracy Theory Central.

[ElkGroveDan]

What if one is true and the other isn’t?
