I think the kids should be left alone, too. ALL OF THE CHILDREN!

I agree that we need to do what we preach and many posts do not follow that — however, I am just very, very put off by someone from KOS preaching to and about FR after their horrible attacks on baby Trig.

I have lurked at DailyKos from time to time. And they brag that they have at least a dozen folks posting regularly here. Perhaps Jim should do some homework and trace their activities. Can’t his logs show what their referring pages and exiting URLs are? I bet you some of the worst comments were left by KosNazis.

Obama has thrown his children into the political spotlight, they are fair game no matter what anybody says.

WRONG! At most, pointing out that he has done so would be justified, not debasing oneself by name-calling and libelous comments.

Is it because that he's black is more important to you than any other fact of his life?

Ya found another one Sherlock. Free Republic is now safe. You are a pathetic prat. Read his books and notice where he went to church. His blackness is most important to him. I'm not the one talking about white man's greed you moron. I'm not discussing anything with you Herr Goebbles.

What David Letterman, and most of the Liberal Media, and several so-called Conservative pundits and columnists have said about Sarah Palin and her children is inexcusable and infuriating.

For Conservatives — for FReepers — to stoop that low about Barack Obama’s family is unacceptable. If the reports are accurate, those who made them are merely asserting the same “Free Speech” rights just as did those who attacked Palin’s family. BUt the comments are immoral, wrong, and stupid — because they put weapons in the hands of our ENEMIES.

THINK before you speak/write people. It isn’t about whether you have the RIGHT to say something, it’s about how what you say will HARM the rights you and others now enjoy.

I’ve seen an errant comment or two in my time at FreeRepublic (5 years) but I have NEVER seen the type of here’s lies and then there’s damn lies. This is a setup attempt, nothing more.

I'm on the site pretty regularly and the name given for one of the offensive posters is completely unfamiliar to me. I also suspect a set-up. How long was that person a Freeper? I am very suspicious that a percentage of recent Freepers are trolls.

Many of the right have been ignoring the left's complaints that conservatives are racist and shouting "political correctness" for a few decades now and over that time we've gone from the General Lee in the Dukes of Hazzard being considered a fairly harmless symbol of Southernness to being a controversial racist symbol. We're losing the battle and doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is a sign of insanity (or masochism).

Look for the next big sign: the word ‘Freeper’ appearing in the boxes of a crossword puzzle run by a nationally prominent newspaper. That’s when you know you’ve ‘arrived.’

Yes, but what will the caption be? "Conservative news blogger" or "rightwing bigot"?

They know places like free republic are making a difference and are attacking it. Thankfully there are still places you can go and not have to be politically correct. This is political war. How many lies and coverups were done to elect Obama. Now they are upset, that it appears, that he will not be re-elected, just a few months in. Go Palin Go.

Yes, his blackness is important to him. That doesn't mean that every negative black stereotype automatically applies to him. Perhaps that point is a little too complicated for you?

Is this true? did you pull a thread and/or ban posters after taking pressure from liberal blogs?

It's never happened and never will.

My damned white MANAGER flashes me that gang sign. What the hell does it mean!?!?

I don't see it on here:

I first noticed it in the 80s or 90s among rap singers, using it to emphasize a point they were making. I guess it's the equivalent of the "quote marks" used by many whites in writing and with their hands.

‘And the question I have for you is why are you talking about Justice Department statistics that have nothing to do with Obama? Is it because that he’s black is more important to you than any other fact of his life?’

Nailed ‘em!!!!!!

Agreed. I followed a previous link and finally saw the picture with the daughter wearing the peace symbol shirt -and the ‘cousin’. To say that I was stunned would be an understatement. As much as I dislike the man, bloody hell!!! This is the leader of the free world and his daughter is going out in public looking like a 60’s-era hippie reject. Not to mention the bloke next to her who looks like some gangster wannabe. *shakes head in dismay* If he is such a great ‘leader’ could he not lead the bloke to some corner and read him the riot act about making all of them look like thugs and ne’er do wells? I mean, come on man! Have you no shame?
