I guess I’m just saying that we all know there are “conservatives” —- and “liberals” — who are frankly way out there. Most of us aren’t on the fringe and wouldn’t have anything to do with those remarks.

So I suppose when I see something like that posted by you, I wonder if the implication you’re making is …. see how low and despicable “your” side is?

Truth be known, both sides have their dark elements. This is no surprise. I’m just not sure I understand what it proves, if anything.

RPN: I don’t pretend to be up on all the political sites, but i’ve never even heard of FreeRepublic. I rather doubt they’re ‘mainstream,’ however.

I do look at powerlineblog which I think generally is quite tempered and fair (though clearly conservative). I can’t imagine anything so inflammatory on that site, or on some of the others that I think would be in the mainstream.

BTW, I went and looked, and the classless poster is who I thought it would be.

Donna,

We often hear on this site that conservatives would never attack the Obama children. The comments at FreeRepublic, a mainstream conservative website, prove that to be false. I am not suggesting you say racist things about children.

“One of the posters said Michelle Obama looks like a pregnant prostitute.”

Bet I can guess who said that.

I saw it and made a comment – You’re right, it is wrong and un-Christian -

89. That was a criticism of her choice of clothes. It not fair, but woman are judge more harshly by what they wear. All men have to do is pick black, gray or blue and make sure it fits well and the tie’s not too weird. I’ve seen much worse said about Hilary, Palin, and Pelosi and nearly every other first lady. It’s part of the job.

#89 — Maybe that’s because many of us haven’t seen it? (I haven’t looked at that thread). But I’ll say it now, I think that is not only a childish remark but it goes over the line.

What I’m talkin about is going on right now on The Popes Gift toObama thread. One of the posters said Michelle Obama looks like a pregnant prostitute. No one of the Christian regulars there cares enough to say a single thing.

We have bad manners too. People are real quick to run to Palins rescue if she’s slandered, because she’s respected. We don’t speak up when one of us says something unfair about someone we don’t like. maybe because inside we agree with it. That don’t make it right or the Christian thing to do. Everyone has to look in thier own heart and do the best they can.
