And that was an honest opinion that *I* can respect. Dannymac Send a noteboard - 18/08/2011 05:44:30 PM
Saying that what Perry said was over the top and will cost him any chance of winning if he can't dial it back is true as well. I don't defend what Perry said and I think he was either very stupid or taking a huge risk by saying it. I don't have any great love for Perry and I voted against him the last primary but saying he wants to lynch people is just hyperbole and deserves ridicule.


I suspect that if there were more folks near the middle saying things like the above to their more extreme bretheren, rather than circling the wagons and acting like it was a normal thing to say, these arguments would be non-existent.

I fail to see how he accused anyone of treason, or urged violence, but OK. Joel - 18/08/2011 03:56:05 AM 542 Views
I'm kinda sick of the whole subject. LadyLorraine - 18/08/2011 02:31:23 AM 486 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 494 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 499 Views

Why do liberals always object when people urge political violence against us? Joel - 18/08/2011 05:52:05 PM 399 Views
