Gun control discussions in the wake of the Newtown, CT deaths

[jimson2]

Standard Liberal tactic? Standard liberal hate speech?

Hope you saved some Flav-R Aid for the rest of the class.

Is there another explanation? Remember how the progressive stance used to be that dissent was patriotic? Why not now?

Dissent is now known as racism. It has to be that way because any opposition to this president must be shown to be illegitimate.

Remember the wonderful behavior of the progressive Occupy Wall Street crowd? Contrast that with the extreme actions of the "violent fringe" Tea Party.

You know, actually getting the proper permits, cleaning up after themselves, not defecating everywhere or committing rape.

Think you're teetering on the edge, Pal. I'm just gonna back away slowly... not making any sudden movements here....

[jimson2]

Think you're teetering on the edge, Pal.

And why is that? because I refuse to accept the fringe, extremist characterizations?

[Sepia and Dust]

No, because you've aligned yourself with the fringe extremists. It's clear from your rhetoric that you've chosen your side and are spouting that side's standard tactics. Look out for those evil, smelly Liberals... I think there's one behind you!

[guido tkp]

exactly, S&D...

worse...some seem oblivious to that fact...

but then again...facts are not within the parley of some, atimes, no ?

hey jimmy...felt i'd try to give myself a bit o' time to ponder your...cough-cough--wheeze-cough... witticism at my so-called percieved status within the Party o' R's...

to try and think of something smart, charming and...y'know intelligent...

but i then realized you might not get it !!

so, i'll try and keep it simple; i had my grandfather die on the battlefield to protect freedom...including freedom of thought, i guess...not that you'd agree, considering your thought process within your barb: clearly, if i (and, i guess, others) am not willing to walk in goosetstep with the current, foul scheme of authority you seem to find so benevolent to all, i must not be a R after all, right??

far from it...i am a proud r who is very aware that my party has been besieged by near-complete idiocy...and would rather attempt to cure the patient rather then kill it off...

in my state, a state mired in the confusionary ways of the stupid of late, i find that a large percentage of the red, white and blue patriotic americans are as often D's...maybe more so, now that so many within my party have become drunk in ravages of stenchy, moldy tea...

'course...i'm here to vote for the best candidate..and if my party cannot bother to offer such up...and the others do...i, unlike you, obviously, will cross party lines and vote for the best candidate: that is the american way

too bad you just don't get that

next time you try to off a RINO...make sure you take down that mirror first

That's about the response I expected.

I guess I shouldn't expect a coherent explanation as to how the truly despicable act of dismissing any opposition to the Democrats as merely an angry racist reaction to a black man in the white house is a non extreme, non fringe and reasonable thing to do.


You know guido, I might attach to you some credibility as an R, if I ever heard the slightest criticism of the other party from you.


It's pretty telling that moderate McCain was apparently so extreme to you that you felt you had to cross party lines.


If Obama truly reflects your real values, you might as well drop the R and embrace the real deal rather than try to turn your party into Democrat lite.


Perhaps you might enlighten me as to how the GOP of today is so different from the GOP you joined.

I guess Reagan really wasn't anti-abortion, anti socialist, anti big government, and pro tax cut?

[Chuggs]

No need for all of this hate folks. Why can't we talk civilly to one another? I mean come on...

What is it about you "republicans" that you are functionally incapable of making a point without including insults?

[FlakeNoir]

I think we're coming to the point that if there is nothing new to bring to the thread, (and if the personal attacks and blanket statements don't stop) there is no point in keeping it open.

....long overdue to lock the gate....
