“The only problem I have with supporting Newt ... and this is petty ... that he has some really despicable fans on Free Republic who have shown their support for Newt in an ugly way by hateful trashing of other candidates.”
Replace “Newt” with any of the candidates and your post is exactly the same.
Well, a little yeah. But unless you’ve been on Perry threads for the past couple of months, you do not know the full extent of evil.
These people mostly started out as Cain supporters. Cain hated Perry. Evil hates good. His venom spread to his supporters who formed groups and did precious little things like adding ugly keywords to Perry threads and pinging their list of villains to come on Perry threads and insult Perry and his supporters.
They then mostly became Newt supporters, but I can’t blame Newt for that.
Yes, I’ve made the random (maybe not so random) post nicely pointing out the deficiencies of other candidates, but it was never a concerted attack driven by hatred.
I will never, until I lose my memory and forget who these people are, have ANY respect for anything they say or do again.
