"What do you think of this? That's Free Republic. It's a major American conservative forum, much bigger and more popular than what you see here. See that post right there? That was posted by the guy who runs it. Free Republic is notorious for outright banning even long time members who fail to toe the line. Can you not see the difference between the treatment you get here versus the treatment a place like that gives to its dissenters?"
How can what a person says be 'trolling', when it's a statement of fact? One word: Perspective.
So someone doesn't like your precious candidate, eh Teabaggers? There's light-years of difference between exposing a right-wing candidate's own financial/political/personal hypocrisy, thus proving they have absolutely no right to be running a lemonade stand, never mind for political office, and being reduced to racism against the remotely left-wing candidate of the Democrat voters, Freepers, just because his policies 'offend' you in any way, shape or form.
Your precious USA still exists. Simply a case of terminal butthurt that it's not your man in the White House. Deal with it. Yet, if anyone said anything derogatory against your previous God Emperors of the Religious Reich, Dumbya or Raygun, you'd call them Unamerican traitors. Glove's on the other foot now, eh bitches?! Romans 13:1-5 orders you to worship Obama as if he were Lord God Almighty (and from your point of view, he is. Romans 13:1-5 says you're going to Hell if you don't). You certsainly had no problem doing so with Dumbya & especially Raygun. Did you, eh Freepers?!
So what if said 'Trolling' (as you right-wingers would define it) help to destroy your precious candidate's potential chances in being elected, as what they say is seen by lots of people on the internet, and may change the way they vote, eh Teabaggers? Not our problem. You should ONLY select candidates who are purer-than-pure, and who won't - and never will - do, say, or think anything wrong, least of all in the eyes of the Democrats. Like I say, the magic word: Perspective. Also, Perception.
If you never do anything wrong, you won't be called out on it. Thus it's impossible to be criticised. Simple as that.

'Jim has made his position PERFECTLY clear: FR will not be used to bash Newt. Period.'
"The question being asked is what constitutes “bashing” and what constitutes “asking legitimate questions relating to the candidate’s positions on the issues?” Is it FR’s policy that the latter is also forbidden? It’s telling you’re unable to differentiate between the two though not surprising considering your vulgar responses."
Otherwise, a case of 'The truth [i]hurts[/i] eh, bitch?!'
'Bashing' or not (merely exposure of the facts about a certain candidate, as the public - the electorate - have the right to know), it certainly killed Newt 'Bitch-Pimp Bling-Bling' Gingrich's political career stone dead.
Good.
