This is painful to admit. I fell for all that lofty idealistic chatter hook line and sinker. No more. Now I see that it was nothing more than babbling and posturing.
I actually believed you when you said you were for free thinking, exchanging ideas, and thinking for yourselves. I thought you really were above insulting others and were all about civil conversations.
I don’t think so anymore. Here are a few reasons why.
1. A liberal that I considered a very good friend and I used to joke around quite often about how a few conservative blogs would moderate comments and not let opposing views be heard or comments attacking or mocking the author. Then that same liberal left in a huff when I wouldn’t do the same on this blog. HYPOCRITE!
2. And how about a liberal blogger that will rail against pseudonymous comments and the people that leave them? That would be all well and good if that person didn’t do the same thing. This blogger has admitted on several occasions that they have commented under pseudonyms. And the comments were rather nasty. Not at all like the usual nice comments this person leaves when using their regular name. Pseudonymous and anonymous commenting is not very unusual, and I don’t generally have a problem with it. I do, however, have a problem with someone that acts like they are above doing that and insult those that do when they are just as guilty or maybe even more so since they don’t just pick one pseudonym and stick with it. HYPOCRITE!
3. And how about the liberal blog that claims to be “The discussion page of Free Thinking Individuals in Rockingham County and Harrisonburg City” but rarely has discussion and is filled with nothing but liberal propaganda? Apparently “free thinking” means liberal thinking. Y’all will talk till your blue in the face about how we all need to think for ourselves, and not just do what the party tells us. Do you ever apply that same concept to yourselves? You act as if you are somehow mentally superior to conservatives and more open minded. HYPOCRITES!
4. You will say things like:
- Obama is my candidate and I will tell anyone who wants to hear why they should vote for him.
- I come to these blogs because I like hearing other points of view
And then when given an invitation to share your point of view and tell me what you see in Obama, I get nothing but crap about how you wouldn’t change anyone’s mind so it isn’t worth your bother. HYPOCRITES! Oh, and HRR is soooooo mean. Which brings me to my next point.
5. Grow up. If someone is obviously baiting you with name calling and insults, just ignore them if it bothers you. I know from experience that if these tactics are ignored and no one bites, the taunter eventually gets bored and moves on or settles down. I have had people call me names an personally attack me too. I didn’t edit them. I think HRR has even had a few choice words for me in the past. You aren’t special like that. He’s an equal opportunity mocker. You want me to edit or ban HRR for name calling. Well that’s just dandy. While I’m at it I’ll ban you for being insulting and condescending. It isn’t like any of you are much better. You’re just a little more subtle. HRR may punch someone in the nose while you prefer a sneaky attack from behind. I’ll ban Rudder after I ban Joe, Lowell, Emmy, Deb and Kestrel. Which reminds me. You want me to chastise HRR for doing what Kestrel does but I don’t see you holding Kestrel’s feet to the fire. Clean your own house before you complain about mine. HYPOCRITES!
6. George Allen got labeled a racist for saying Macaca. Obama belongs to a racist church, has a racist value system, and stereotypes white people but you don’t seem to have a problem with him. So tell me, really, who is the bigger racist? HYPOCRITES!
7. You all think Bush is an idiot because he has misspoken and said some pretty silly things. How about the guys on your side? Why don’t you call Obama a bumbling idiot like you do Bush? HYPOCRITES! (my chimp-o-matic will but up later this week)
8. And I’m sooooo tired of the threat to not come back. You don’t follow through. You say things like, “I won’t be back.” and within an hour your back on the site. It happens here and at Repub. So don’t come back. The blog isn’t for you anyway. And while your at it. The “I just won’t comment anymore” line that you like to pull out when faced with your own hypocrisies is just as old.

Amen…
And regarding your #3…I am SO glad someone else has noticed that!! Free thinking? REALLY????
Whackette, that’s the STUPIDEST post you have ever made. Yer dumb!
p.s.
And Right Field, I FINALLY realized who you remind me of (though I believe your punctuation and grammar are more proper): “Citizen Tom.”
That is a compliment, by the way. If you aren’t him, go visit his site. Great guy, great site.
Rudder, you are so mean. I don’t know why I waste my time with you.
Citizen Tom does have a great site.
No, I’m not Citizen Tom
I have been to his site though and am a fan…
Regarding number three. I think that perhaps they confused the meanings of the words “cheap” and “free”.
what is citizen tom’s site? Share with me
Ummm, you okay Megan?
Whackette, here’s how the liberals see you now:
“Luke, come to the dark side.”
“NOOOOOOOO!”
“Luke, come to the dark side.”
“Ok.”
Then the liberal audience hisses, as Whackette’s transformation to the dark side becomes complete.
To the liberal, it is simple. She’s now one of the bad guys. She doesn’t automatically accept the liberal B.S. Rather than falling for lies and misrepresentations, she actually has the gall to use logic and common sense, and to demand proof. And she sees liberals for what they are: Phoneys. So, in short, she bought into the evil lies of the Republicans and the evil Conservatives. She’s been hoodwinked or hijacked by the bad guys. Whatever, now she’s baaaaad. Guess that takes her off their Xmas list.
I’m fine, WK7. This has been brewing for a while. I had a lot of respect for these people. Even voted for one.
I guess I have just had enough of the lies.
“Regarding number three. I think that perhaps they confused the meanings of the words “cheap” and “free”.”
I’m not sure that’s setting a very helpful “tone” :)…but you’re right.
There have been lots of very good and productive discussions on this and the other blog. Not sure why they chose that topic to fly off the handle about…weird.
Could be they just have nothing to say. Or could be Lowell The Great, whom all liberals follow, set forth the Edict: “Do not debate the great unclean bloggers. Go rather to tevery household on every hiway and bigway, where perhaps Some be yet Un-polluted. And where HRR the Evil can not attack Thee.”
Is Lowell like the local Liberal whip or something? He asks them NOT to post certain places…who does that?
I am so glad they finally showed their true faces…
“Where Lowell orders “free thinkers” not to comment.”
I love it!
The hypocrisy is just absolutely astounding, and so incredibly blatant too. “I have asked my friends not to comment”…that’s quite a power Lowell has. Wonder if I’m referring to the wrong Dem as the Messiah??? Hmmm…
Interesting new look to the blog.
