Rank and file will always have their irresponsible whack jobs; I'm talking about candidates. Joel Send a noteboard - 18/08/2011 03:27:53 AM
The are whole pages devoted to people screaming about the Tea Party being terrorists and the Environmental movement trying to destroy our way of life, not even including all the diplo-speak that amounts to the same thing. If I start citing you examples you'll just ignore the ones you don't like, and I really don't need the spike in my blood pressure.

That's what Perry and Bachmann are, remember? It's hard to buy the argument that leading candidates for a partys presidential nomination are just an atypical fringe minority. Regardless, you can't just say, "they did it first!" then refuse to provide any examples; that makes it an empty charge (not that two wrongs make a right in the first place). Again, I'm not really looking to parse and debate the examples, because I'm convinced both parties are indistinguishable except for marketing, I'd just like to see an example to at least TRY proving the charge, and the burden of proof is on the accuser.

No one is going to talk about Rick Perry threatening to lynch the Fed Chair? - 18/08/2011 01:02:02 AM 846 Views
No, no real point - 18/08/2011 01:25:24 AM 472 Views
Much difference in degrees - 18/08/2011 01:47:30 AM 357 Views
Tone and context though - 18/08/2011 01:57:37 AM 440 Views
the difference in degree is the degree of hyperbole you used - 18/08/2011 02:14:03 PM 313 Views
"Hyperbole". That is exactly the word I was just thinking to describe the situation. - 19/08/2011 01:10:26 AM 347 Views
Perry is a blowhard - 19/08/2011 02:40:39 AM 294 Views
I'd like to see some examples of both sides accusing each other of treason. - 18/08/2011 03:08:08 AM 559 Views
I am so not getting into this with you - 18/08/2011 03:12:31 AM 391 Views

I'm not having this conversation - 18/08/2011 03:46:54 AM 319 Views
I'm kinda sick of the whole subject. - 18/08/2011 02:31:23 AM 429 Views
He left it vague, so he gets away with promoting violence; that's "free speech" now. - 18/08/2011 02:52:30 AM 430 Views
I shall infer something from those statements - 18/08/2011 02:00:00 PM 446 Views
that isn't how Joel logic works - 18/08/2011 03:06:10 PM 427 Views
Sounds like Bush 41s "no new taxes" pledge. - 18/08/2011 05:31:41 PM 581 Views
Apparently Ron Paul is: - 18/08/2011 08:29:26 AM 502 Views
I thought about it - 18/08/2011 11:00:07 AM 330 Views
Very precisely and succintly said. - 18/08/2011 05:49:12 PM 429 Views
I honestly have a hard time taking him or Bachmann seriously - 18/08/2011 02:00:47 PM 322 Views
I love how liberals get their panties in a wad over almost anything - 18/08/2011 02:03:43 PM 334 Views

that is a honest opinion I can respect it - 18/08/2011 04:25:07 PM 431 Views
And that was an honest opinion that *I* can respect. - 18/08/2011 05:44:30 PM 337 Views
I took his comment to be something meant to appeal to the Tea Party segment, but came out wrong. - 18/08/2011 06:53:34 PM 444 Views
Or you could just skip the R altogether if that's not what you want. - 18/08/2011 07:15:47 PM 381 Views
Re: Or you could just skip the R altogether if that's not what you want. - 18/08/2011 11:47:00 PM 417 Views
You can't win it if you're not in it. - 19/08/2011 12:53:23 AM 438 Views
I am not sure what he was trying to do - 18/08/2011 07:42:17 PM 482 Views
You're right; liberals like Karl Rove and Ron Paul are already criticizing his comment. - 18/08/2011 09:56:26 PM 440 Views
or it should give us an idea how much a Bushie he is - 18/08/2011 11:24:02 PM 292 Views
Why do liberals always object when people urge political violence against us? - 18/08/2011 05:52:05 PM 337 Views
So I guess the answer is liberals are just naturally paranoid - 18/08/2011 06:45:30 PM 424 Views
Yeah, not sure why I bothered. - 18/08/2011 07:09:34 PM 323 Views
