Sorry you see no difference between attacking political policy & physically attacking policy makers. Joel Send a noteboard - 18/08/2011 09:53:53 PM
Go grab a cobblestone and throw it a cop in the name of peace. Hell if republicans won't let you put words in their mouths what is point of even talking to them? Just throw a riot to prove how violent they are. You have a right to rich people's money after all and it is evil for them not to give it you so who cares if they actually said what you claimed they said they are the baddies and that is all that really matters.

That's unfortunate both because of what you condemn in political foes and what you excuse in political allies. I've never suggested throwing rocks at cops or defended anyone who did, but a random accusation of that against no one in particular doesn't justify Perrys suggestion Texans (or Iowans) "do" anything to Bernanke. Like I said, I'm starting to understand how German Jews felt in the '30s; not only am I not safe on the street, but when elected leaders urge political violence their "reasonable" allies defend those urgings as "free speech". Incitement to murder is sacrosanct free speech, but objecting to such incitement is NOT free speech, merely abominable. Pardon me if I decline your offer to come through the looking glass to that very scary world.

No one is going to talk about Rick Perry threatening to lynch the Fed Chair? Roland00 - 18/08/2011 01:02:02 AM 846 Views
No, no real point Isaac - 18/08/2011 01:25:24 AM 472 Views
Much difference in degrees Roland00 - 18/08/2011 01:47:30 AM 357 Views
Tone and context though Isaac - 18/08/2011 01:57:37 AM 439 Views
the difference in degree is the degree of hyperbole you used random thoughts - 18/08/2011 02:14:03 PM 312 Views
"Hyperbole". That is exactly the word I was just thinking to describe the situation. Tashmere - 19/08/2011 01:10:26 AM 346 Views
Perry is a blowhard random thoughts - 19/08/2011 02:40:39 AM 294 Views
I'd like to see some examples of both sides accusing each other of treason. Joel - 18/08/2011 03:08:08 AM 558 Views
I am so not getting into this with you Isaac - 18/08/2011 03:12:31 AM 390 Views
Rank and file will always have their irresponsible whack jobs; I'm talking about candidates. Joel - 18/08/2011 03:27:53 AM 417 Views
I'm not having this conversation Isaac - 18/08/2011 03:46:54 AM 318 Views
I fail to see how he accused anyone of treason, or urged violence, but OK. Joel - 18/08/2011 03:56:05 AM 489 Views
I'm kinda sick of the whole subject. LadyLorraine - 18/08/2011 02:31:23 AM 428 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 430 Views
I shall infer something from those statements Stephen - 18/08/2011 02:00:00 PM 445 Views
that isn't how Joel logic works random thoughts - 18/08/2011 03:06:10 PM 427 Views

that is a honest opinion I can respect it random thoughts - 18/08/2011 04:25:07 PM 430 Views
And that was an honest opinion that *I* can respect. Dannymac - 18/08/2011 05:44:30 PM 336 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 444 Views
Or you could just skip the R altogether if that's not what you want. Joel - 18/08/2011 07:15:47 PM 381 Views

You can't win it if you're not in it. Joel - 19/08/2011 12:53:23 AM 437 Views
I am not sure what he was trying to do random thoughts - 18/08/2011 07:42:17 PM 481 Views
You're right; liberals like Karl Rove and Ron Paul are already criticizing his comment. Joel - 18/08/2011 09:56:26 PM 440 Views
or it should give us an idea how much a Bushie he is random thoughts - 18/08/2011 11:24:02 PM 292 Views
Why do liberals always object when people urge political violence against us? Joel - 18/08/2011 05:52:05 PM 336 Views
So I guess the answer is liberals are just naturally paranoid random thoughts - 18/08/2011 06:45:30 PM 424 Views
Yeah, not sure why I bothered. Joel - 18/08/2011 07:09:34 PM 322 Views
