Thanks for coming out of retirement for little old me.
Fairly fortuitous that you happened to stumble across this thread which just happens to mention your name.

Oh, I figured this event would bring out the right-wing. You are extremely predictable. And as I was reading along, I found you remembered me. Wow. I didn't know you cared. And you gave me a present. THANKS for being the idiot you are and providing me with a good laugh. At you of course.

No problem, it was the least I could do for someone hanging on my every typed word. Seriously, how did you respond so fast? And don't say you got a notification, I do not think that feature has been working in quite some time.

Remember:
Tea Party movement is about how regular Americans are sick of paying too much in taxes and the government is too big and ineffectual = SETTING A DANGEROUS AND VIOLENT TONE.
Why does a big, ineffectual government set a violent and dangerous tone. I don't see the link. Surely, if the government is big and ineffective, its big and ineffective. It's people who find that an affront akin to having Pol Pot as a leader that set the violent and dangerous tone by calling for armed revolution and resistance simply because they find themselves on the other side of political fence from that which was making policy.
I've posted with Americans on several different boards now for the past 7 or so years. The hard line rhetoric has come almost exclusively from the right, the far right as I see it, at least where I have posted. The kind of views that initially supported wars of venegence on Iraq and Afghanistan for 9/11, who supported torture, indefinite incarceration, suspension of habeus corpus, who divided the world into us and them, you are with us or against us.
Those same people have called for violence, even on these boards, not because of any of the above....no, all those outrages are fine, what really gets them steamed up is a policy which would provide basic healthcare for the population. Oh yes, that's the kind of moral outrage that would make them march to washington.
The left, the left feel like the moderates to me, the ones who are trying to keep a sane voice in amongst a roar of insane ones.
Thank you, Magons, for crystalizing the hypocrisy of the right so elegantly.

That's one of the more hateful, tasteless non PN remarks I think I've ever seen on FFF.NEt
Yeah - I'm surprised it wasn't you who said it. Remember when you wanted Jack Murtha "put down like a rabid dog", and then tried to deny saying that once he actually died? Yeah, you're that classless.

You didn't read the full link, or even the part I posted, did you ?
It's a contrast in how the MSM treats the Left and the Right
On the one hand, you have....

Making a movie about the assassination of George Bush = ART
The Left can tolerate the murdering of a President, provided it's Bush, and call it " art " . But people standing up for their constitutional rights ? Why, that's HATE speech! Dangerous and violent tones !
* Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have ... The course of history shows that as a government grows, liberty decreases.
- quote attributed to Thomas Jefferson.
" I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend. "
Okay, enlighten me. Who in this country made a movie about assassinating Bush? Who on the American left made this "art" you speak so highly of?
Someone IN ANOTHER COUNTRY made a movie dealing with the fictional death of a U.S. President. Meanwhile, THIS COUNTRY invaded another and ACTUALLY MURDERED ITS PRESIDENT, and you cheered that action. And you can't even tell who the bad guys are.

Only there was no of that, remotely, what so ever.
This is how not reading fully leads to misunderstanding and then to stupidity.
Like you, Kwickie.

and more to the point, who here supported the assasination of Bush? Removed from office, tried for war crimes maybe, but assasinated? Not that I've been coming here that long, but I
ll grant it that nobody supported that course of action.
Ok, maybe gino would have

Again, you miss the point. My remarks were in response to " fucking right wing assholes " and the hyper over reaction to Palin's ' hit list' and those trying to connect non existent dots. It absolutely wasn't in response to multiple deaths and woundings by a whacked out nut case.
Bullshit.
You posted that IMMEDIATELY AFTER I *mentioned* that Palin had put Giffords on a target list. There was no "hyper over reaction to Palin's hit list", except by you. Go up and look at the threads in order. Signy didn't post that "fucking right-wing assholes" snark until AN HOUR AFTER YOUR POST.
Quit trying to backpedal and rewrite history. Your meaning was quite clear, and you were very proud of yourself, right up until people started calling you on your bullshit, at which point you started whining like the little bitch you are, and complaining that you're just misunderstood.
Seriously, it's all right here in this thread.
