A bump for your 100% accurate post. Perry and his supporters were savaged by so-called “conservatives” and mods on this board for months with no abatement. Now it’s kissy-face, thanks Perry for your service. Nauseating.
I stand with both of you. The vitriol that was directed towards Perry and his supporters on this site was unlike anything I have ever seen here. It did no good to hit the abuse button. Didn’t have to draw me a picture, I got it. My opinion wasn’t welcome or respected. I’m not paying good money for that. People I respected for years and who claim to be God fearing Christians spewed nastiness like a scene from The Exorcist. This is not how decent rational human beings treat each other. Then the Freepathon failed to rake in money as expected and there was coincidentally a sudden softening of the attacks on pro-Perry posters as they protested with their closed checkbooks. Finally Perry drops out and it’s all sweetness and light again. Over the years FReepers have rightly damned the morals of Clinton, Edwards, Wiener, etc. then in a sudden about face proclaimed it was okay for Cain and Gingrich to have similar character flaws. Forgiveness and redemption is there for Republicans, but not for Democrats. The hypocrisy and lack of moral consistency here is breathtaking. No surprise that they have now settled on a man of little personal character as their ideal candidate.
Oh, stop. You Perry supporters gave just as good as you got, and you know it.
