This is what I have to live with here in the Happy Valley. I would love if someone could possibly find if his alledged quote from Free Republic ever existed. Is there some way to search? I personally believe he made it up in the midst of his hysteria.

[BibChr]

So... what?

You thought idiots aren't getting enough circulation these days? You don't know how to spell "Volcanic, spinning-in-midair barf alert"?

Like, we've all walked through cow pastures and seen a thousand patties, but you think we need to see Just This One More?

I don't get why this is here.

Then I did a little poking around. It's not hard. All you have to do is switch on any talk radio show and eventually one of these self-righteous "conservatives" will be found holding court, or simply flick through the hundreds of channels on cable TV where the more telegenic are regularly featured. Or those with a stronger cast of mind can check out the bestseller list where you'll find their words immortalized between covers, or comb the editorial pages of even "moderate" newspapers and you'll find them. Of course, the quickest way is via the Internet where, like insects and centipedes under an overturned rock, their rawest opinions are on display.

For a guy going off about "hate", I'm just not feeling the love in that paragraph.

Hell, what would it look like, a body swinging from a rope!

Ping! Your post from this thread made the news.

Oy vey...the left is in a complete tailspin...

Pretty funny reading though. The more I read stuff like this, the happier it makes me. It just goes to show how little they understand us, and just how terrified they are of our growing influence and power.

I'm tickled...

NOBODY LISTENS TO PEOPLE WHO SPEAK QUIETLY AND RATIONALLY.

I'm sorry. I wasn't listening. What'd you say?

[jwalsh07]

He takes quotes out of context and assigns them as evidence of hate. He is the hater. He hates conservatives, black, white, red or any other color of the rainbow.

Somebody should tell him that the guy who said that tree thing is an American who happens to have dark skin.

[mhking]

I wonder what they'd say if they figured out that the body on a rope quip came from a black man? ;)

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

It would appear that Bisbort thinks it's OK to hate conservatives, which he really means ALL those who are not socialist-minded liberals, to wit:

Money statements from this open-minded, compassionate, non-hating liberal:

Pardon my French, but compassionate conservatism is a f$@#ing cancer.

Yes, Republican compassionate conservatism is a cancer. Like a cancer, compassionate conservative cells divide continuously and out of control, bubbling up into tumors created from their own sanctimoniousness, hypocrisy and unpleasantness (check out Cheney's and Ashcroft's facial expressions some time... but not after a good meal; these are two fine specimens of cancerous tumors taking the shape of human beings). Compassionate conservative cells, once they've established themselves in the body politic, metastasize and invade surrounding tissues and other parts of the body by -- according to my old biology textbook -- "actively secreting digestive enzymes to 'eat' their way toward a blood vessel... then some enter either the bloodstream or the lymphatic system..."

Yup. Those who advocate limited government and less taxes are a cancer, unlike saints such as Bisbort, who thinks compassion=advocacy for government programs. I seriously doubt this ninny even really understands any political issues to any depth at all, number of bylines credited to him notwithstanding. He just knows that socialism is good and since conservatives oppose it, they must be bad.

Funny. About 50% of the country is conservative, so this compassionate human being hates 140+ million people in the United States alone.

What a friggin' hero.

[Onelifetogive]

. The dominant discourse in this nation right now is hateful, loud and relentless.

I am just SOOOOOO glad that this honorable man didn't participate in that deplorable hatefulness. /sarcasm

Free Republic posted an article about legislation proposed for a Slave Memorial in Washington, D.C. Among the barrage of nasty comments were: "Paradoxically, it's why slavery was RIGHT, in some weird sense. It's a condition of our existence, and in particular, a condition of black Americans' existence." Another: "Hell, what would it look like, a body swinging from a rope!" This is just the tip of their daily iceberg.

Now how do we know he didn't post those comments himself? That hardly represents opinion on FR. How dare he imply that it does.

[Sunshine Sister]

Way to selectively quote!

[RAT Patrol]

IF the posts exist, it would most likely be a Thomas Sowell or a Walter Williams column.

I just fired off a letter to the editors of this illustrious paper; I doubt I'll hear anything back:

Dear sirs:

In Alan Bisbort's 6/5 column ("Hate Speech; Now is not the time for quiet, well-thought rhetoric"), he refers to a quote I made on FreeRepublic.com, ("Hell, what would it look like, a body swinging from a rope!") within an ongoing conversation about the proposed "slavery memorial" in Washington.

Mr. Bisbort cites my quote, along with another from that conversation, as an example of "hate speech." First off, I am a black man, and secondly, I stand by that remark. Honestly, it was my first reaction to the notion of a "memorial" to slavery. If Mr. Bisbort had taken the time to review the remainder of the conversation, as opposed to taking comments out of context, he would have found that many of us who are opposed to such an endeavor expressed our disdain in more or less colorful language. However, the "hatred" that Mr. Bisbort implies was not present.

In one post in that same conversation, I posted a letter to Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist from myself, within the bounds of my position a member of the National Advisory Board of the Washington-based black conservative group Project 21. My letter is also posted on my website at http://mhking.blogspot.com/. In that letter, I point out the reason for my disdain of the proposal, and I dare say Mr. Bisbort - or anyone else for that matter - would only find "hate speech" in my letter if were attempting to paint any dissent as "hate speech."

Hateful? Not at all. Challenging what I see as folly? Absolutely.

Sincerely,

Michael H. King
National Advisory Board Member, Project 21
Mableton, GA

The issue isn't a slave memorial, it is what the race baiters will do with a slave memorial. An honest slave memorial would be a good thing. But I think Sowell was arguing that it will neither be honest nor used honestly.

Aww, the poor little liberal is upset by mean words?

But what the little liberal wants is the ability to use them against us whilst we remain silent.

We know their game.

Like Rush Limbaugh, Savage hides behind his pseudonymous persona

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't Rush Limbaugh his real name?

[backhoe]

He's a classic anti-bigot bigot....
