“Yep. Unfortunately I have been finding myself more and more distant with some of the commenters here. I am not racist, I do not want my name to be associated with racism. I want it to be associated with conservatism and the retaking of this country from marxists. We are better than the left and we should act that way.”
Well said. My feelings exactly. Sometimes I wonder (actually I hope) that most of these people are DU plants.
If being the good guy means standing still while someone punches your lights out..NO THANKS. While it’s not right to attack the children of politicians........the left places no limitations on their speach no matter how hate filled.
The libs only get OUTRAGED at others when they dare say something offensive.........Don’t start censoring FR to please the libs! It will just encourage the left. Next time it will be an comment on Obama then it will be any comment against the Left’s policies......
Free Speach is either completely free or it’s not free at all! Kind of like Free Will...If you have one limitation on Free Will it’s not COMPLETLY FREE!
Don’t allow the LEFT to dictate the “RULES” of FREE SPEACH. Because they will NEVER follow the rules they set up for others....They only set them up to limit others FREEDOMS.
“...Jim Thompson...” so much for quotes.
Good to see the quotes and research were done so well. :-P
to be honest, I’d rather seem them note all the negative information spewed out by the liberal biased mediea that has been refuted by FR. Buy no, they choose to ignore that..
Well said.

And besides, the obvious Dino-Media incompetence, why does Chris "Jethro Bodine" Parry think that's sarcasm?
Nasty posts about the Obama kids are getting pulled and, well, does "Mr 6th Grade Educashun" Parry really think JR (sorry JT) doesn't mean it when he says 0 is an "American-hating Marxist pig."
Or Christian or Jewish kids.
No... we the bad guys.... the good guys are the ones who make rape jokes about Sarah Palins minor daughter. what a disgusting post.
I think they should read the liberal blogs. They are worse than anything here. I really hope Jim doesn’t start censoring everything.
I will treat my enemy’s children as my own. I’ll go after the parent with everything I have but will never teach his child to hate me.
Dear Vancouver “journalist”: Note that it is NEVER OK to attack anyone on a personal level, and it is certainly never OK to attack children. I think most people would agree with that. Now go back and check the countless personal attacks on George Bush as well as those on Sarah Palin and her family. Did you laugh at the Letterman jokes? Did you think it was funny when people made fun of Trig? Or when his mother was called “trailor trash”? I thought so.
Good journalists do their homework, get their facts straight, and show objectivity. Try acting like a good journalist. Quote me.
I think we were set up, too.
I actually hit abuse for maybe the 4th time in 7 years on a poster that the article did not name, interestingly, the dog that didn’t get barked at.
Let’s just say this joe’s frname involves rum and mint and ice in a glass.
There was nothing wrong with posting the article. It was relevant and I had no comment on the children. Just on the parents role in seeing that they are properly attired.
No, the author is saying that those play into predictable stereotypes of blacks, just like a lot of the unsupported allegations against Sarah Palin play into predictable stereotypes of poor rural whites. Assuming the worst of a person based on their race, ethnicity, sex, or class on the basis of negative stereotypes even when they aren't true is pretty much the core of bigotry.
The "Aw jeez not this shit again" pic in Aisle #6 is still there. That's a good sign. :O)
Ditto me on those comments. We are better than that post.
So because they unfairly attacked innocent kids we're going to do the same? So we want to become unprincipled thugs just like our enemies?
Common guys and gals, we were upset with all the attacks on Palin when Letterman went after her 14 year old daughter. This is no less gutter than Letterman.
Why put the onus of being respectful on the already respectful users? Keats5 has a great point that should be heeded by all users on this board. There are liberal trolls everywhere willing to copy comments. Even if they get reported and deleted, it will be too late. Spewing bigotry is not only contrary to the concept of liberty for all Americans, it presents liberty minded ideals and unpleasant to the wider American sheeple audience. We can’t let the first impression of us that CNN watching America has be that we are a bunch of bigots. We have to be better than that.
We all know the rules:
1 - Democrats, commies, Palin Haters and other leftoids can do and say anything they like. Any vileness at all is acceptable because their motives are pure.
2 - Conservatives and Republicans must drive within the lines, be nice to their tormentors, help democrats destroy America, keep quiet when they see the press praising another racist hack, pretend they like Obama and swear that Michelle is beautiful or they will be sternly warned that people might not like them.
