I guess we’re stuck with you.

Short and sweet. Less than a week after signing up to comment, I was banned. Why? The only conceivable reason is their policy against not letting anyone new to comment who supports Ron Paul.

But here’s the thing. I don’t support Ron Paul.

Proof? The very Red State comment thread on the South Carolina Republican debate that caused me to get banned. Here’s what I said in comment #288:

“… Brit Hume blew it, aside from not asking Paul about his racist newsletters.“

And later, comment #292:

Surprise Debate Winner Based on Actual Voting Data

Clearly Ron Paul won the debate… based on Fox News text voting.

Exit question: How’d that happen?

I threw in the exit question to provoke thought and humor about the Ronbots and “Romulans” furiously texting away to skew the results. But do the idiots who run Red State get the humor or even ask a question before Stalinesquely purging me? Hardly.

I was so not surprised to be banned — because they have a reputation for being a closed shop and are no friends of free speech (not even in this case, seemingly, where my position is in agreement with their position… which is why I refer to them as morons).

Well, I ask rhetorically, what more would I expect of a site co-founded by plagiarist Ben Domenech, who is a blog poster on the site to this day?

Cross posted at various places out of frustration to get my point across. They gave me no warning, nor even an email, and I certainly won’t waste my time begging them for posting privileges so I can agree with them and get banned for it.

And Ronulans.

did you hear? McCain thinks Saddam killed Thomas Jefferson!

And Jefferson isn’t even dead! Oh, wait a minute.

I caught that too, and couldn’t help thinking the same thing.

Exit question: How’d that happen?

he may be laying off mccain figuring the conservatives in SC will start to remember just what mccain has done and realize he is no friend of the GOP while he does need to attack huck since SC voters may not be as aware of the true huch as they are of the true mccain.

Sorry Pat and other Fred heads… I think your guy is trying to help my guy.

“Let’s see if he’s right in South Carolina.”

The problem with that may be as Allahpundit pointed out: McCain’s now ahead in South Carolina, not Huckabee. So by laying into Huckabee so much, Fred helps McCain… playing into the theory I half believe that Fred is McCain’s stalking horse, and is getting more serious and motivated now that his buddy McCain is within striking distance.
