All of this stuff has been in the news the last few days! You cant be serious? I've NEVER seen a mod threaten to close one f these threads, where they claim Republicans are trying to label Obama a terrorist or Muslim.

We'll get you your sources. Give me a few.

I'm sort of shocked by posters claiming they haven't heard/read any of these. Especially the admins and mods. Are people just not paying attention?

I first read it here about how her child with down syndrome was the result of some incestuous affair and I just thought a poster was being cruel for cruelties sake then lo and behold that comment and others are still floating around and gaining ground not just here but an many blogs which have been picked up and reported on by MSM outlets and still so many people can honestly state these comments are news to them and never before heard and demand sources?

Geez.

Is it honest ignorance or just straight denial?

so we're upset over comments made here on ATS?

and why aren't, as Intrepid asked, y'all discussing this in the threads where these comments were made?

One prick who seems to have no affiliation with any sort of MSM posts thoughts that no one wants to hear and all of a sudden Democrats are so desperate that they're stumbling over each other to attack Palin?

Seriously, the blogger doesn't even sign a name... It's a nobody, or it's a somebody who doesn't want to be found out. So it could just as easily be a Republican who wishes to smear the Dems, by smearing Palin.

I wasn't even online all day. This is typical of the type of stuff I was hearing on the radio in my car all day. Try tuning into some left-leaning talk shows and listen for a few minutes. You'll hear much worse.

I see the flaming Liberals are crying "foul" again. Go tell the Principle Jamie is picking on you -

Rediculous - you guys spout this BS and when it comes back to in itemized form, you then claim you're a victem of hate mongering.

Some of these have been referenced and i've seen the others in threads throughout ATS.

I did discuss these comments in the threads in which they occurred. I created this thread as a subject in and of itself that I think is a valid topic for discussion.

The collective vitriol that has been coming out since Sarah Palin was named VP is stunning in it's volume and total idiocy. When seen collectively it has much more impact, imo.

And for the record, there were lots of threads like this talking about the "smears" against Obama. Heck, he even started his own website on it, didn't he?

This is just as valid a topic as all the Obama crying foul topics but it wasn't started with the correct form, giving links. The mods are treading on double standard ground though by suggesting to just go away and reply in the individual threads.

Yes, I'll give you NeoCons here one thing, in any of the threads that attack Palin and McCain you all simply attack back instead of whining.

Nothing like the warmongers you are voting for or have already elected at all.


You all still need to get it into your head that they are both the same, they are both promising you what you simply want to hear and none of it is ever the truth. The American publics support has been bought in soundbites, and we're screwed regardless of which of these two morons you choose.

Why? No really. Why is this a double standard to keep the board clean and to have content where it's supposed to be?

Intrepid, you always claim neutral (as you are Canadian), but you are always defending Obama (the Democrats) at every turn in nearly every thread. Sometimes I wonder if you're not even a bigger fan of his than BH on ATS.

It would be a double standard and we would have to look no further than doing a query on Andrew Wiggin's threads - which many wreak of rhetoric and no substance, racism etc. (much like Obama's campaign).
