I didn’t realize that anyone actually hated Hunter.

Again...you are being a jerk. No one here hates Hunter. We do disagree with a lot of the obnoxious stuff by his supporters.

“Duncan Hunter is a loser politician...”
If that’s not hate, then what is it?

I’m really at a loss as to how I’m being a jerk. You were explaining something and I was asking questions. We were having a discussion and all of a sudden you’re mad and I’m a jerk. Sorry if I’m a little lost on this.

I like Hunter from what I’ve heard from him. Calling me a supporter is a stretch.

I’m really sorry you’re upset, but it was unintentional from my end. I don’t know what else I can say except that misunderstandings happen, I guess.

Don't let this poster get you down ... I believe that's his purpose.

It's a typical troll activity. Pull up a long ago registered FR name (usually one of many), and use it to have fun irritating Conservatives.

If you read back through this individual's posts on the tread, it is the typical troll pattern.

It starts out with "I like so and so, but ...", then goes through "I guess I don't have all the information I need, so could you folks enlighten me about ....", and finally to "I'm real sorry if I have offended anyone, it really wasn't my purpose, honest!"

If he isn't zapped by then, he will just go through the cycle again, only taking enough time out to report his efforts to his partners on some anti-FR forum.

Ignoring him, along with simply pointing out his trollish behavior to new thread readers who come onto the thread thinking he is playing for real, usually forces him out into the open, and causes him to go way over the line in his frustration, resulting in a loss of posting privileges.
