Eaker,

I think he’s dissing Ted Nugent.

So if someone with whom you disagree on a consistent basis makes what you know to be a valid point, you refuse to acknowledge it?

If that happens it is pretty clear that they finished another chapter in the "How to Troll Conservative Sites" hand book. They end up not being here long even if they read the whole manual because of their transparency.

No, it was the suck up, let's be buddies way you said it.

As you yourself have pointed out, I'm a n00b. As such, I had no way of knowing he had a history of being a Liberal. Given that, what was wrong with my statement?

BTW, did you notice that your liberal mentor tucked his wee tail and split? This is another thing liberals do.

Oh, please...I've been on forums and the Usenet for decades, and conservatives don't have a monopoly on sticking around for arguments. I've seen Marxists who would defend their opinions with post after post for more than 24 hours at a time, and conservatives who do the same. Likewise, there are those right of center who turn tail and run as well.

No...They are attacking him for having a private conversation....easdropping or being a peeping tom....

I hate to hear what Obozo says on his private line to his
buddies...

I do not think he is a Anti-Semite or Racist...I do think he is an Alcoholic and possibly has a bipolar problem....

Wether it is Mel Gibson or Carrie Prejean Liberals love to pin words on people who they want to villify.

Shouldn't you still acknowledge a valid point? Otherwise, it undermines the validity of your argument.

You're AlGore?

and conservatives don't have a monopoly on sticking around for arguments.

That's NOT the point! He is a liberal on a conservative forum. Liberals get banned. He argues until it becomes obvious how liberal he is, then he LEAVES. The idea is to be a long-lived liberal troll.

Exactly that.

Sure a bunch of words when a single one, "no" would have sufficed.

Look, I have other stuff to do. You go ahead and keep digging and I'll come back tomorrow to see if you are still a n00bie FReeper.

Remember "MurraysMom" and "Dane?"

I will agree that the terms "Anti-Semite" and "Racist" and thrown about far too freely these days. That having been said, it's hard not to apply them to Gibson, given what's been revealed.

It's different for anyone on The Left as far as the Mainstream Media is concerned, of course.

Oh heck yes! There was a race baiter that signed up in 2005 that got zotted last week. They all eventually get it.

Now that's just mean. I thought there were rules about that sort of thing.

That's NOT the point! He is a liberal on a conservative forum. Liberals get banned. He argues until it becomes obvious how liberal he is, then he LEAVES. The idea is to be a long-lived liberal troll.

If he's been consistently arguing liberal points for years, why hasn't he been banned?

Not when I see it as an obvious ploy. If Obama says that it is a nice day I will disagree with his racist liberal ass just like this troll because it is a ploy not an honest assessment.

If you are truly Al Gore as has been guessed you would know that.

Is it your assertion that Civil War threads on FR don't have a vocal contingent who defend the Confederacy, and in fact call those posters who defend Lincoln and the North "damnyankees"?

From this remark I have to wonder if you're a U.S. citizen.

It's a cultural thing for Southerners to sometimes address Northerners as "damned Yankees". It's not necessarily polite, often said in jest, but not crime.

One disturbing discovery on my visits to the U.K. and Ireland was an undercurrent of ignorance and media incited hatred towards white U.S. Southerners.

Are you from the Commonwealth perhaps?

Or just an incorrigible Yankee?

He knows when to leave. Which was Eakers point.

I agree. It makes me ill to see Freepers defend mel’s words and deeds. If you were to privately record me 24/7, you might hear me swear on the freeway or yell mildly at a child. But you would never hear a racist rant. So the freepers who say “well, it was a private conversation, who wouldn’t be caught like that” make me sad.

And I agree that liberals get passes continually, like Kanye and baldwin, And of course the predator Polanski, etc. But that doesn’t eXcuse a virulent racist just because he makes conservative movies.

So you're criticizing the fact that I defended myself with "a bunch of words" (2 whole sentences...wow!). Way to defend your point!

Look, I have other stuff to do. You go ahead and keep digging and I'll come back tomorrow to see if you are still a n00bie FReeper.

I'll admit that the thread is getting a bit, er, tiresome at this point. It's not like anyone is persuading anyone else of the error of their ways as they butt heads, not that that happens very often in these sorts of discussions anyway...
