It's the underlined part that gets people zotted. It's just fine to disagree. It's fine to post pro-Romney stuff. It's all around us every day. FR has far more pro-Romney posts than anti-Romney posts. I know. I'm not a Romney supporter.
Why can't it just be, "if you can't tell the difference THEN I DISAGREE WITH YOU or YOU NEED TO THINK IT THROUGH AGAIN or I DON'T THINK YOU SEE THE DANGER?" Why does it have to be "you are stupid?"
Personalized attacks cause trouble. Problem statements generally don't.
I believe pro-Romney supporters have difficulty realizing that conservatives are simply not united behind Romney. They aren't. They won't be. It's the nature of this election.
I do know this, though: Calling someone STUPID is not the way to win anyone to your side. You might never win them to your side anyway, but the "stupid tactic" will drive them away. Is that what you are looking to do?
Go look at the same anti romney freepers post on other subjects, they call them a lot of freepers worse then stupid.
I was posting how I would never for for Romney or Jeb Bush ever,(I was stupid) But to defeat obama, I would.
Free Republic keeps helping to get Obama elected by not supporting America/Romney,should change name to FreeHelpFor Obama.com
If conservatives remain this fractured after November, we're screwed, no matter if Obama or Romney wins. With either one, we're going to be fighting either Dem socialism or RINO socialism.
But it's pretty hard to put up an effective fight when you have beaten up your former allies into a bloody pulp - and they have done the same to you. Our differences here are far less than our similarities. The GOP-E has unleashed a perfect storm - not that I think they are smart enough to have planned this, but they sure as heck are cynical enough to fan the flames and exploit it. It's up to us if we are going to allow the GOP-E to goad us into oblivion.
I totally agree.
The use of the term "Mittbot" or "Romneybot" to refer to long time Freepers who supported another candidate in the primaries but are reluctantly going to hold their noses and vote for Romney is another example of a personalized attack we could do without.
