No, no real point Isaac Send a noteboard - 18/08/2011 01:25:24 AM
He shouldn't have said treasonous, but his choice of wording aside he's expressing a fairly normal political sentiment, Charles Krauthammer discussed this subject in detail. It's not something to get worked up over though, Perry shouldn't - for political reasons - use the word 'treasonous' but politicians pretty much non-stop accuse people of treasonous or unpatriotic behavior all the time with pretty words, so I couldn't really care.

Much difference in degrees Roland00 - 18/08/2011 01:47:30 AM 403 Views
Tone and context though Isaac - 18/08/2011 01:57:37 AM 494 Views
the difference in degree is the degree of hyperbole you used random thoughts - 18/08/2011 02:14:03 PM 363 Views
"Hyperbole". That is exactly the word I was just thinking to describe the situation. Tashmere - 19/08/2011 01:10:26 AM 405 Views
Perry is a blowhard random thoughts - 19/08/2011 02:40:39 AM 343 Views

I'm not having this conversation Isaac - 18/08/2011 03:46:54 AM 371 Views
I fail to see how he accused anyone of treason, or urged violence, but OK. Joel - 18/08/2011 03:56:05 AM 539 Views
I'm kinda sick of the whole subject. LadyLorraine - 18/08/2011 02:31:23 AM 483 Views
He left it vague, so he gets away with promoting violence; that's "free speech" now. Joel - 18/08/2011 02:52:30 AM 490 Views
I shall infer something from those statements Stephen - 18/08/2011 02:00:00 PM 493 Views
that isn't how Joel logic works random thoughts - 18/08/2011 03:06:10 PM 475 Views

that is a honest opinion I can respect it random thoughts - 18/08/2011 04:25:07 PM 481 Views
And that was an honest opinion that *I* can respect. Dannymac - 18/08/2011 05:44:30 PM 391 Views
I took his comment to be something meant to appeal to the Tea Party segment, but came out wrong. Macharius - 18/08/2011 06:53:34 PM 494 Views
Or you could just skip the R altogether if that's not what you want. Joel - 18/08/2011 07:15:47 PM 436 Views

I am not sure what he was trying to do random thoughts - 18/08/2011 07:42:17 PM 531 Views
You're right; liberals like Karl Rove and Ron Paul are already criticizing his comment. Joel - 18/08/2011 09:56:26 PM 490 Views
or it should give us an idea how much a Bushie he is random thoughts - 18/08/2011 11:24:02 PM 345 Views
Why do liberals always object when people urge political violence against us? Joel - 18/08/2011 05:52:05 PM 399 Views
So I guess the answer is liberals are just naturally paranoid random thoughts - 18/08/2011 06:45:30 PM 471 Views
Yeah, not sure why I bothered. Joel - 18/08/2011 07:09:34 PM 371 Views
