I dunno. The way I understood the post was that they caved to the intimidation and harrassement from these homonazis.

If that's true, then yes it was cowardly. That's how these people seem to always get their way whether it's the race hustlers or whatever. It's time we stood up and not kowtow to them anymore, FWIW

How was the deer hunt?

Brushcop has a pretty salient explanation of my understanding of the situation in Post #46.

all that is needed is to shut down free discourse (talk radio, about the only thing left) and dampen the same on the internet in order to isolate people from sharing like-minded opinions and banding together. Once isolated, they are far less likely to organize into any effective resistance movement and that is what we will see happen...

If you'll don your tinfoil hats with me, I'll go a step further. If I wanted to create an ideal honey-pot to bleed off all the opposition energy from conservatives, I'd think about creating freerepublic.com as a magnet for people to get their disgust for the destruction of our country off their chest.

It would attract the affluent people who could otherwise send money, work in campaigns, go door-to-door, attend city council meetings, read local public school curricula...

Instead we can get on here, fire off a few hot missives, and feel like we've said our peace...'to hell with it all.' I'm beginning to wonder...does FR really help the conservative cause, overall?
