Lol, freeper swiftboat author apparently apologizes for comments on FR?
There is a thread on fr that he was on Hannity and apologized for his 'raghead' and 'boy-buggering' comments and they were just jokes and the left should just calm down, or something to that effect.

Here's the freeper thread where they report the apparent apology:

Feel free, if you dare to search for user jrlc posts over there and you can be the judge on whether or not it sounds like a joke.

Ridiculous.

1. I really would like to know
What is going on behind the scenes with that whole fiasco. Why the schizoid behavior?

2. This is so satisfying.
Just let the truth fly. Let it out there. For all the world to see. See them for what they are and let the wider world know that a fetid cesspool like FreepyLand exists.

May the unsuspecting be shocked down to their marrow, man, woman, boy and girl. Let them see the real face of the repukes. Let them know that at its base, the repuke party is a freak show.

3. That thread is hysterical!
But remember, he's just "a scribe" and his posts have nothing to to do with his credibility as an author, an author who just publicly admitted that he does NOT stand behind his word.

I also love the whining about character assassination and attacking the messenger. It's a wonder their heads don't explode.

5. Spouting racist slurs is always a way to get laughs...
Hahaha...not. That was no apology. Telling the left to 'calm down'--in other words, insinuating that it is the left that is blowing this all out of proportion--that's not what I'd call sincere regret.

FR, they're just a barrel of laughs over there. I really liked how one time they were all talking about skinning Bill and Hillary Clinton and making a flag out of them. Now THAT'S comedy. I'll bet they kick themselves for being born too late to participate in the Holocaust.

Corsi can shove his apology in that dark, dank place where his head has been residing.

8. He's so much more believable now, eh?
This from the above mentioned forum...


"...References to "ragheads", saying disparaging things about Islam, and an un-funny (by his own admission) Catholic joke were part of it.


The left is now trying to nail him on it.


I'm willing to forgive him."


I am NOT

10. Typical Freeper . . .
Talk a big, rough-and-tumble game, and then, when called on the carpet, disavow the comments.

Here's the link to Yahoo News: http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=694&u=/ap/20040810/ap_on_el_pr/anti_kerry_book_1&printer=1

Here's the best part:

In chat room entry last year on freerepublic.com, Corsi writes: "Islam is a peaceful religion — just as long as the women are beaten, the boys buggered and the infidels are killed."


In another entry, he says: "So this is what the last days of the Catholic Church are going to look like. Buggering boys undermines the moral base and the lawyers rip the gold off the Vatican (news - web sites) altars. We may get one more Pope, when this senile one dies, but that's probably about it."


Corsi, who described himself as a "devout Catholic," said the comments are being taken out of context. "I considered them a joke," said Corsi, who owns a financial services company and has written extensively on the anti-war movement.


In a March posting, Corsi discussed Kerry's faith, writing: "After he married TerRAHsa, didn't John Kerry begin practicing Judaism? He also has paternal grandparents that were Jewish. What religion is John Kerry?"


Kerry and his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, are Catholic.


"I don't stand by any of those comments and I apologize if they offended anybody," Corsi said.


what a spineless, sleazy pieze of republican shit!

11. These are sick, SICK people.................
they don't have the ability to see that everything they're saying pertains to them. They originated this type of attack and media shit storm and are annoyed when it comes back to bite them in the ass?
Clinton was correct, "when people think, Democrats win". It's quite apparent that there isn't a groundswell of thinking at FR.
