    @21
    You can’t say that on IPR!

  4. LibertarianGirl October 21, 2011

    theres nothing new or naive about the Freedom Fest crowd.. for instance Ive heard Wayne is not fond of the LP Republican Wall of Shame , while I was there every single attendee I spoke with Loved It:)

    Here is my opinion:

    Nazi morons should be free to express their racist views, but racial slurs should be deleted if and when the editors have time and inclination to do it.

    You also have to remember that few if any people read every IPR comment, so someone is not always going to be around paying attention to every single thing that gets posted.

    Also, deleting anything can be a pain because some people will complain if something gets deleted just as others will complain if it does not. And once you start deleting one thing, other people will expect more and more different things to get deleted.

    If they start spamming IPR threads frequently, consign racist posts to their own “special” thread. Otherwise, leave them alone for the most part, make fun of them or ignore them as you see fit, and if the editors do or don’t delete a particularly offensive comment or two, don’t get too bent out of shape either way.

    Milnes and Ogle got plenty of chances before they got their own threads. Then they had plenty more chances to stick and their threads and wouldn’t do it.

    Neither automated spam filters nor human IPR editors are perfect. Cut them both a little slack. If you expect perfection, you will be disappointed at times.

    If Wayne-o says Freedom Fest is “the world’s largest gathering of free minds”, then what’s he doing there? Oh, wait, that’s right, it’s down the block from him. Local venue to ply his schtick on new and naive audiences.

    Also, if he’s the keynote speaker, how far has FreedomFest fallen in quality? Pretty damn far.

    NewFed: “I am certain that paulie has posted somewhere that they both were banned.”

    He has posted that. And they both deserve to be, IMO.

  9. NewFederalist October 19, 2011

    Re: banning… see “Your suggestions for improving IPR?” thread Sep 30, 2011

  10. NewFederalist October 19, 2011

    Not to beat a dead horse BUT… Milnes says on his website that he managed to get a few posts on IPR because of the recent glitch but that they have since been deleted. I suspect any recent posts by Ogle are due to the same situation. I am certain that paulie has posted somewhere that they both were banned.

  11. Jill Pyeatt October 18, 2011

    I was wondering the same thing. I won’t point out that Milnes is back if he doesn’t talk about you-know-what.

  12. Darryl W. Perry October 18, 2011

    I know this is off topic & apologize in advance, I wonder if fixing the recent comment outage may have wiped out any bans that existed?

  13. Darryl W. Perry October 18, 2011

    @12 – He was posting on the thread announcing Stewart Alexander being selected as the SPUSA Presidential nominee

  14. Thomas L. Knapp October 18, 2011

    NewFed @ 11,

    I’ve seen a post from Ogle on IPR some time in the last 72 hours. Don’t remember which thread.

  15. NewFederalist October 18, 2011

    @10… I believe Milnes and Ogle have been banned from posting at IPR not just pushed to their own threads. I believe paulie has said so in the past.

  16. Thomas L. Knapp October 18, 2011

    @7,

    “John Hope Franklin, the famed black historian at Duke University, once told the incoming freshmen, ‘The new America in the 21st century will be primarily non-white, a place George Washington would not recognize.'”

    The population of Mount Vernon in 1799 consisted of George Washington, Martha Washington, a couple of overseers, and 277 African-Americans.

    @8,

    Milnes and Ogle aren’t banned, and never have been banned. They’re free to comment on any thread — but after continuously trying to hijack every thread, no matter the topic, for their particular hobbyhorses, those hobbyhorses were banished to their own threads.

    Presumably if this dipshit continues to try to turn threads into tendentious discussions of race, his hobbyhorse will likewise get its own corral.

    I considered deleting the post at number one, but I don’t know if that’s cool with the other writers here. Since no one else deleted it, maybe there needs to be a pattern of abuse. Just ignore him. He’s trying to get attention with his childish behavior.

  18. Deran October 18, 2011

    If Milnes and Ogle are banned, and rightly so, why not this neo-nazi? Or at the very least delte his racist rubbish?

    Root is a reactionary hack. His form of libertarian capitalism is all abt maintaining easy profits for big businesses and promoting war and nationalism.

    I think it is clear that Root is brown-nosing his way into getting a Republican job of somesort. Hack flack sad-sack.

  19. A.D. 2041 — End of White America? October 18, 2011

    Pat Buchanan writes:

    John Hope Franklin, the famed black historian at Duke University, once told the incoming freshmen, “The new America in the 21st century will be primarily non-white, a place George Washington would not recognize.”

    In his June 1998 commencement address at Portland State, President Clinton affirmed it: “In a little more than 50 years, there will be no majority race in the United States.” The graduates cheered.

    The Census Bureau has now fixed at 2041 the year when whites become a minority in a country where the Founding Fathers had restricted citizenship to “free white persons” of “good moral character.”
    With publication today of “Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?” this writer takes up what this portends. And while many on the left are enthusiastic about relegating the America of Eisenhower and JFK to a reactionary past, I concur with the late Clare Boothe Luce.

    In this world, she said, there are optimists and pessimists.

    “The pessimists are better informed.”

    What are the seemingly inevitable consequences of an America where whites are a shrinking minority?
    First, the end of a national Republican Party that routinely gets 90 percent of its presidential votes from white America.

    California is the harbinger of what is to come.

    Carried by Richard Nixon in all five presidential elections when he was on the ticket and by Ronald Reagan all four times he ran, California, where whites are now a shrinking minority, is a state where the GOP faces extinction. John McCain’s share of the California vote was down to the Barry Goldwater level of 1964.

    When Texas, where two-thirds of the newborns and half the schoolchildren are Hispanic, goes the way of California, it is the end for the GOP. Arizona, Colorado and Nevada, also critical to any victorious GOP coalition, are Hispanicizing as rapidly as Texas.
    In every presidential election since Bush I in 1992, Hispanics have given 60-70 percent of their votes to the Democratic ticket.

    For Hispanics, largely poor and working class, are beneficiaries of a cornucopia of government goods — from free education to food stamps to free health care. Few pay federal income taxes.

    Why would they not vote for the Party of Government?

    Second, the economic crisis of California, brought on by an outflow of taxpayers and a huge influx of tax consumers — i.e., millions of immigrants, legal and illegal — will be mirrored nationally.

    For though the majority of immigrants and illegals comes to work, and work hard, most now come from Third World countries and do not bring the academic or professional skills of European-Americans.

    Third, the decline in academic test scores here at home and in international competition is likely to continue, as more and more of the children taking those tests will be African-American and Hispanic. For though we have spent trillions over four decades, we have failed to close the racial gap in education. White and Asian children continue to outscore black and Hispanic children.

    Can the test-score gap be closed? With the Hispanic illegitimacy rate at 51 percent and the black rate having risen to 71 percent, how can their children conceivably arrive at school ready to compete?

    Should this continue for three decades, what will it mean for America if Asians and whites occupy the knowledge-industry jobs, while scores of millions of black and Hispanic workers are relegated to low-paying service-sector jobs? Will that make for social tranquility?

    Affirmative action is one answer. But this is already causing a severe backlash, and the reason is obvious.
    When affirmative action was first imposed, whites outnumbered blacks nine to one. The burden of reverse discrimination on the white community was thus relatively light. Today, however, not only blacks, but Hispanics and women — two-thirds of the entire population — qualify for affirmative action in hiring and school admissions.

    And the burden falls almost entirely on white males, who are one-third of the country but three-fourths of the dead and wounded coming back from Afghanistan.

    Sociologist Robert Putnam, author of “Bowling Alone,” has also found that the greater the racial and ethnic diversity in a community, the less social capital there is — i.e., people in diverse settings are far less disposed to cooperate for social goals. They retreat into enclaves of their own kind.

    Putnam found social capital at the lowest level he ever measured in Los Angeles, the most diverse community on earth. Yet, by 2042, the demography of every American city will approximate that of L.A.

    What is happening to America is happening across the West.

    Can Western civilization survive the passing of the European peoples whose ancestors created it and their replacement by Third World immigrants?

    Probably not, for the new arrivals seem uninterested in preserving the old culture they have found.

    Those who hold the white race responsible for the mortal sins of mankind — slavery, racism, imperialism, genocide — may welcome its departure from history. Those who believe that the civilization that came out of Jerusalem, Athens, Rome and London to be the crowning achievement of mankind will mourn its passing.

    I wonder how the poster at #1 could have missed the opportunity to hurl bigoted slurs at Mexicans and Jews? Most attention craving 13 year olds would have hit the grand slam.

  21. FutureMongrelTerran October 18, 2011

    #1 – Why don’t you crawl back into the festering spincter that emitted you.

  22. Jill Pyeatt October 18, 2011

    I sure hope to make it to Freedom Fest next year.

  23. Tom Blanton October 18, 2011

    I heard Wayne Root on the Bill Cunningham show last night with what sounded like a meth-fueled rant about how the OWS folks are all unemployed dopers who shit on police cars while everyone in the tea party has a job, has no children out of wedlock, and are willing to die for their country. I’m not sure how he knows all this – I guess he’s been listening to his crazy Republican friends.

  24. CommonTater October 18, 2011

    @1 Out the airlock with you!

  25. AncientAryanAstronaut October 17, 2011

    The Libertarians are quite good at keeping out niggers and mexicans, but on the minus side they are crawling with faggots and jews.
