Modern Whigs: Please cull the wackadoodles
December 30, 2008Here’s a good rule of thumb: When someone mentions in a post on a blog or forum that they are “not normally a believer in conspiracies, but … ” you can rest assured that the poster is a wackadoodle and is going to spew forth a particularly idiotic conspiracy theory. No fact or argument presented to refute said theory will dissuade the original poster that his little theory is wrong. And soon, 90 percent of the replies will be from the original poster.
And that’s what happened on this thread on a Modern Whig Party forum. Basically, it’s a regurgitation of the Obama-isn’t-a-Citizen complaint that’s making the rounds. It’s all factually disproven bullshit, of course. Not that it matters, because no matter what argument is made against this theory, the response is that, well, it’s a conspiracy and if you look deeper, you will find the truth.
Hey, Whigs: You have GOT to keep this conspiracy crap off your forums and blogs. These people do not give a FIG about building your party or its platform. They see the MWP as a forum to spread their fantasies. The more this stuff appears on YOUR forums, the more the public assumes that is what the MWP is all about.
My advice: Delete these posts and comments as soon as your see them. Be merciless. If the Constitution Party and Libertarian Party want these idiots, let them have ‘em.

That’s one thing that turned me away from the Illinois Green Party. I used to be on their email list (during the 2006 election cycle, when I voted for Rich Whitney for governor), but I unsubscribed because one of the most active contributors was a 9/11 conspiracy theorist.

To clarify, it was a Yahoo Groups list, not an official Green Party email list … I think it was the “peoriaareagreens” group. Sheldon Schaefer was the moderator/group leader. He didn’t distribute the 9/11 bunk, but he didn’t contradict it or put a stop to it, either.

3. За 1к переходов – 15$
4. Можно устанавливать любые свои промоматериалы.

которые могут помочь увеличить заработок в этой партнерке.

This is one of the reasons we established a team of moderators and then eventually disassociated the views of the party with the views expressed on the forums. Please see:
