The only reasons that I would see to ban an individual would be threatening speech or excessive spamming being done as an attempt to disrupt the conversation. (off-topic trolls)

Legitimate dissent should not be deleted or banned, but for their own sake I can see why any self-respecting site would want to get rid of anything that sounds like a threat, even if it is “just a joke,” if only because it will be exploited and held up by the O’Reillys of the world as an example of what “those” people are like. Maybe one of the conservatives here could explain to me why most Republican “humor” these days involves violence and death. (Incidentally, I was a registered Republican until about 1990 when I saw the light and became, as my card says in NYS, either a “none” or a “blank.”)

Yep, Fair and Balanced. :/

First to the troll: It’s WORST. W-O-R-S-T. Not worsy. Second, even the real K.O. can spell 100% better than you.

So until you learn to read correctly, spell perfectly, think with an open mind and speak clear English, kindly do not come to this site. This site is for patriotic intellects only.

Blinded by the Right

Conservatives without Conscience (my all time favorite).

After reading Conservatives without Conscience I finally think I understand the Conservative mindset, at least the conservatives who are the serfs, not the royalty. And it’s all about needing an authority figure in their life to tell them what to think and how to act. That pretty much describes the trolls on this site and on every other site I have visited.

Maybe TP came around… seems that I can make pro-slavery posts on the thread above!

TP… what a strange place…………..

It really surprised me, because I expect as much from a turd like O’Reilly, but not from a progressive blog site.

Every site has an agenda. Often, the ones that purport to be the most inclusive and permissive actually have the most pervasive agendas of all.

If you’re serious, I’d recommend reading something besides TP or other blogs. First of all, Joe Conason’s “It Can Happen Here,” which is a real eye-opener about the Bush administration that should alarm any true conservative as well as true liberals. It’s a short read, and a good one.

Glenn Greenwald, “A Tragic Legacy”, which analyzes the effects of Bush’s “good vs evil mentality.”

And “Fiasco” by Thomas Ricks, on the disaster of the war and occupation in Iraq from a military perspective, and the future of the US military as a result.

I was told by the site monitor not to insult their site on their bandwidth.

T’ings be crazy ’round here, Mon. :D

Actually, there are times that commenters can’t get on the TP site at all, and it’s some sort of glitch. There have been several times where I couldn’t access TP for 10-12 hours, but I wasn’t banned, and the site was functioning.

I think after the “Lesbo Gangs Terrorize DC/Pink Pistols” nonsense, it’s a little too late to stop that one from happening. Let’s just say BillO has successfully splashed down!

I don’t doubt this. there did seem to be some discussion here about his being banned, I thought. T’ings were gittin’ kinda strange here for a while, Mon.

I’m a he.

Okay… my prior comment was just my way of acknowledging the truth. I don’t really know that much about you so I try not to assume I do, including your gender (it wasn’t meant to be an insult…).
