You seem to be reading what you want to from what I said Isaac Send a noteboard - 19/01/2011 01:27:32 PM
I've no idea why you keep thinking something in what I said translated as "Secret Service ignores threats to congressmen". They are law enforcement, they certainly can and presumably do alert the proper authorities to any major possible crime they expect, they do not protect congressmen, same as they don't protect SCOTUS, governors, or anyone else unless they qualify for one of the following.

Today, the Secret Service is authorized by law to protect:
The President, the Vice President, the President-elect and Vice President-elect
The immediate families of the above individuals
Former Presidents and their spouses for their lifetimes except when the spouse remarries. In 1997, legislation became effective limiting Secret Service protection to former Presidents for a period of not more than 10 years from the date the former President leaves office
Children of former Presidents until age 16 or 5 years after the presidency
Former Vice Presidents until 6 months after their term ends: (the Secretary of Homeland Security can extend the protection time.)
Families of former Vice Presidents until 6 months after term ends
Visiting heads of states or governments and their spouses traveling with them, other distinguished foreign visitors to the United States, and official representatives of the United States performing special missions abroad whom the president deems important enough for protection outside the Diplomatic Security Service
Major presidential and vice presidential candidates, and their spouses within 120 days of a general presidential election
Other individuals as designated per executive order of the President
National Special Security Events, when designated as such by the Secretary of Homeland Security

OK, I'm Officially Sick of the "Blood Libel" BS. - 16/01/2011 12:18:22 PM 2211 Views
Why are they calling it "blood libel"? - 16/01/2011 12:23:47 PM 1092 Views
Because if the facts were as they represent them those words would be applicable. - 16/01/2011 12:49:22 PM 1255 Views
It's not entirely clear to me whether you're aware of this or not, but... - 16/01/2011 01:12:22 PM 1293 Views
That's why I said, "popularized". - 16/01/2011 01:46:52 PM 1272 Views
I think Alan Dershowitz dealt with this nonsense already - 16/01/2011 02:34:10 PM 1644 Views
Interesting. I didn't realize it was so wide-spread. - 16/01/2011 03:10:28 PM 1168 Views
She wasn't even the first to use the term that week either - 16/01/2011 10:10:35 PM 1190 Views
I don't know that "expert" has anything to do with it. - 16/01/2011 10:18:54 PM 1176 Views
Re: I don't know that "expert" has anything to do with it. - 16/01/2011 11:30:38 PM 1077 Views
Oh please don't you start to - 17/01/2011 02:34:43 PM 1016 Views
I for one hadn't noticed it before. - 17/01/2011 10:25:57 PM 1212 Views
it was used here and nobody commented - 17/01/2011 10:37:07 PM 1109 Views
LOL, I totally forgot that got posted here - 17/01/2011 10:54:26 PM 1138 Views
It's funny you should say that... - 18/01/2011 10:32:59 PM 1179 Views
Re: It's funny you should say that... - 19/01/2011 03:29:52 PM 1162 Views
It was permissible to ignore until it became a rallying cry. - 20/01/2011 04:27:23 PM 1197 Views
A rallying cry is hardly illegal - 20/01/2011 05:32:45 PM 1263 Views
I never said it was. - 20/01/2011 06:59:39 PM 1349 Views
Oh, I noticed that one alright. - 18/01/2011 10:25:23 PM 1021 Views
compared to the way similar terms are used? - 19/01/2011 06:58:02 PM 1184 Views
I meant I hadn't seen it used in different contexts before. - 19/01/2011 07:35:00 PM 1140 Views
Indeed, my response to Legolas references Wikipedias quotation of him. - 16/01/2011 10:24:09 PM 1228 Views

Again, Giffords specifically made the connection between Palins imagery and an attack on her. - 17/01/2011 12:53:08 AM 1415 Views
That means precisely nothing - 17/01/2011 03:59:07 PM 1111 Views
It means everything. - 18/01/2011 08:34:55 PM 1358 Views
I'm trying to understand your logic - 19/01/2011 12:50:28 AM 958 Views
There are two points: - 19/01/2011 02:47:48 AM 1181 Views
Re: It means everything. - 19/01/2011 05:55:02 PM 993 Views
That's simply illogical. - 20/01/2011 01:08:51 AM 1386 Views
the old step one steal underwear step three profit argument - 19/01/2011 06:01:14 PM 1253 Views
that is some twisted and bizarre logic - 17/01/2011 02:38:41 PM 1201 Views
So I am a little confused on something... - 16/01/2011 02:38:59 PM 1244 Views
Palin putting Giffords district in the crosshairs and Giffords implying at the time she feared this - 16/01/2011 11:21:36 PM 1380 Views
If I understand what you are saying correctly... - 17/01/2011 07:07:56 AM 1113 Views
I'm sorry you so badly misunderstand. - 17/01/2011 08:33:47 AM 1140 Views
Re: I'm sorry you so badly misunderstand. - 17/01/2011 04:24:01 PM 1209 Views
The Secret Service does guard Congressmen, just not all of them automatically. - 18/01/2011 09:13:39 PM 1008 Views
No, they don't - 18/01/2011 10:19:34 PM 1206 Views
Really? Cannoli says differently, and I believe he's right on that one. - 18/01/2011 10:50:51 PM 1311 Views
You seem to be reading what you want to from what I said - 19/01/2011 01:27:32 PM 1144 Views
I read what you said & understood it as you restate here, hence I referenced local police (twice) - 20/01/2011 02:15:17 AM 1206 Views
The problem here is your ignoring normal policing powers to concoct an absurdity - 20/01/2011 04:20:25 PM 1285 Views
More absurd than the notion such incitement warrants no notice? - 20/01/2011 05:42:47 PM 1261 Views
really because people post that kind of crap daily and nothing happens - 20/01/2011 05:57:52 PM 1087 Views
Your shifting your original premise, *again* - 20/01/2011 08:24:18 PM 1107 Views
No, you're simply missing the point of it. - 20/01/2011 11:09:57 PM 1124 Views
There is no point - 21/01/2011 12:22:30 AM 1170 Views
If I had no point I wouldn't bother, but fair enough. - 21/01/2011 01:20:32 AM 1415 Views
Uh...Last I checked conservatives didn't list the Communist Manifesto as a favourite book. - 16/01/2011 03:05:07 PM 1439 Views
You're awesome at missing points, aren't you? - 16/01/2011 07:26:30 PM 1180 Views
where is the accountability for those committing slander? - 17/01/2011 02:52:40 PM 1089 Views
Libs hate Mein Kampf and We the Living; conservatives hate the Communist Manifesto: He's neither. - 16/01/2011 10:06:02 PM 1108 Views
conseartives hate Mein Kampf and liberals stil read the Communist Manifesto - 17/01/2011 02:57:22 PM 1095 Views
That first line is says it all. - 18/01/2011 09:34:06 PM 1191 Views

The founder of fascism called it "the merger of corporate and national power". - 20/01/2011 02:51:09 AM 1190 Views
and that is supposed to mean something? - 20/01/2011 06:06:18 PM 1179 Views

Yeah, your first was better - 16/01/2011 09:48:58 PM 1067 Views
Palin didn't really have anything to do with this, but it makes sense she's blamed. - 16/01/2011 10:19:51 PM 1124 Views
Pretty much. - 16/01/2011 11:44:35 PM 1186 Views
Did they ever catch the person(s) that vandalized Gifford's office? *NM* - 17/01/2011 03:30:36 AM 544 Views
politcal offices are vandalized on a regular basis *NM* - 17/01/2011 02:41:29 PM 513 Views
She only asked if they caught the guy, she didn't accuse anyone, Sarah. - 18/01/2011 11:27:18 PM 1079 Views
OK Olberman when did I imply otherwise? *NM* - 19/01/2011 02:48:41 PM 556 Views
"Political offices are vandalized on a regular basis". - 20/01/2011 03:16:39 AM 1263 Views
Took you this long, huh? - 17/01/2011 01:53:31 PM 1011 Views

Re: I'm just curious. - 17/01/2011 03:28:04 PM 1170 Views
I always said I'd do that after Bush was re-elected. - 18/01/2011 11:52:45 PM 1049 Views

I find it interesting... - 17/01/2011 05:31:54 PM 1175 Views
I mention her looks solely because... - 20/01/2011 02:30:42 PM 1059 Views
If slander, not mine, Giffords' (at least you don't err like Palin and say, "libel" ). - 18/01/2011 11:14:23 PM 1237 Views
mark you calendar today is the day Joel offically went around the bend into insanity - 19/01/2011 05:28:06 PM 1088 Views
A mirror will show me who's to blame? On whom have I put a crosshairs? - 20/01/2011 03:23:43 AM 1104 Views
so it is all a matter of faith for you - 20/01/2011 05:48:44 AM 1050 Views

How 'bout simply color coding them? - 18/01/2011 11:21:03 PM 1086 Views
Why not just blame Giffords? - 17/01/2011 06:07:14 PM 1388 Views
Indeed, why not; Sarah Palin does. - 18/01/2011 06:58:01 PM 1210 Views
The irony of this thread is not lost on me. - 19/01/2011 04:09:01 PM 1215 Views
Exactly. *NM* - 19/01/2011 04:51:40 PM 610 Views
Bizarre thread for that Soapbox - 19/01/2011 05:17:58 PM 963 Views
You missed the point, obviously. - 19/01/2011 06:04:23 PM 1070 Views
