Kristinn Taylor from FreeRepublic is a LIAR. Google FreeRepublic.com for "ghetto trash"
Edited on Mon Jul-13-09 03:42 PM by berni_mccoy
There are still plenty of posts with those terms that are tolerated by the site.

On 1600 with David Shuster, Mr. Taylor said they pull posts with terms like that and that Shuster has his story wrong and that the thread was never put back up. Well, the post, originally made mid-day on July 9th, was first pulled on July 10th around 6 am. It was later then put back and if you go to the thread link, you'll see it was pulled as of July 11th at 2pm. Furthermore, a simple google search reveals they have used the term over 700 times on their site. And plenty of those (not related to the current story) are still up and running.

DKOS poster noticed first pull at July 10th: http://www.dailykos.com/comments/2009/7/9/164711/4347/894#c894
Original thread link showing latest pull date of 7/11/2009 2pm (est): http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2288776/posts

There are plenty of other terms used in reference to the First Family, but I'll let you google those yourself.

The fact is, the site approves of racism and using racial slurs to describe the First Family. They will not hesitate to attack children.

On edit: here is video of the interview on 1600: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2009/07/13/free_republics_kristinn_taylor_spars_with_shuster_over_malia_thread.html

2. They use racial slurs to attack more than just the first family
I see all sorts of proudly displayed intolerance over there.

And for the lurking Freepers: no, we're not trying to censor you, but you should own up to your own ignorance and the consequences of your words.

4. "ignorance" and "consequences "
These will require a dictionary and someone to read it to them...

5. What a whey-faced toad Kristin is.
Just surprised FR didn't trot out one of its black members to defend the site. Hope they're not both ill.

21. Give him a break...at least he wiped the Cheeto dust off his chin before the broadcast
Edited on Mon Jul-13-09 03:58 PM by mitchum
However, it looks like he was a little too vigorous and rubbed off most of his chin also

9. A reaction to a sign of peace from a small child like they reacted reminds me of scripture.
A thought.

Luke 10:
5And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.
6And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.
7And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.
8And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:
9And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
10But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,
11Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
12But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.

10. "Blessed be the peacemakers, for they shall be called Children of God"
Guess the Freeps never heard of that one.

18. Or listen to Christmas Carols
"Sleep in Heavenly Peace"
"Peace On Earth And Mercy Mild"
"Peace On Earth, Can It Be"

There are many more as well. It isn't just left-wing hippie talk. I mean, hey, if you want to put forth an argument that peace isn't a realistic goal in a dangerous world, that may be so. But there is no higher ideal, and an 11-year-old wishing for peace should always be encouraged - wherever that 11-year-old lives.

Being against peace is like being against happiness.

22. Agreed. Absolutely...These folks are SO perverse...I think the Obama Presidency
has really put their racist minds over the edge...But that's good in a way..Like turning on the lights and seeing all the vermin trying to escape.

36. I think they've only heard of Leviticus.
That seems to be where they derive most of their philosophy from.

19. Shuster should have said, "So that's the story you're going to stick with?"
to reflect how stubborn a liar Kristinn is. Taylor accused Shuster of getting his information from The Daily Kos and said how unreliable their information is. He tried to scream over Shuster's voice when Shuster called him on his lies.

23. Why didn't they just remove the offensive comments
and leave the thread up? Too many out of the 170 or so to make it feasible?

What's that tell you about the thread?

28. racist comment from today


http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2291712/posts


A tiny Mississippi delta town has elected its first black mayor after the white incumbent, unopposed for 30 years, faced a young challenger inspired by President Barack Obama's feat in winning the White House. In a shock result in Alligator (population 220), Tommie “Tomaso” Brown, 38, defeated Robert Fava, the mayor since 1979, owner of the general store and once his opponent’s boss, by 37 votes to 27. Mr Brown’s surprise victory was a milestone for Alligator, which is named after the curving lake nearby rather than the alligators that once occupied it. Although the only three businesses in the shrinking, tumble-down town are run by whites, three-quarters of the population is now black.
