Re: Reply to Janice

You have never heard Rush refer to the freepers as the tin foil hat, black
helicopter crowd? Sure you have because you sponsored a thread on Free
Republic

http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a3adb34b13544.htm

entitled *Rush will address the NWO kook stuff again in the next
hour.<http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a3adb34b13544.htm>

*A telling quote from KC_Conspirator:

Now I understand that you don't buy into the NWO stuff. But, Rush lumped all
freepers together as kooks (who every once in a while come up with a good
idea or out Dan Rather's forged documents) just like he lumped moderates
together. Rush has a tendency to slander people. As Christians we should not
follow him there.
