Looking like fools is the whole reason the dems are doing this.

The moveon.org General Petraeus fiasco didn't go over so well so now the dems are looking for anything to make the republicans look as bad as that made them look.

Sad, actually.

Edbert, good point.  One of my favorite quotes (can't remember who's, and I'm too lazy to look it up right now) is,

"The mystery is not how government works, but how to make it stop."
Sabre
"The urge to save humanity almost always masks a desire to rule it."

You cannot be a true conservative and hold someone who is an arch conservative in such poor regard.  You defeat your own intellect, or demonstrate a lack thereof with such premise.....

Just my thoughts, and I have known more than one person who claims to be a conservative but holds far more liberal values than conservative ones.

They usually start their bsb arguments like this: "As a conservative, "

But as I am sure you have heard many times in your own life "to each their own"

Next time I want to hear thoughts like yours I will ask a misinformed 12 year old.

As for the rest, this just further shows me just what a waste of text your posts are. You’re like an unfunny holdinmcgroin and slightly less interesting the john9001.

LOL, I would tell you to go back and look my posts over before making a statement like that, but it would be a waste.

Edge schmedge.

Nothing you posted was either slanderous or unpatriotic, dissent does not equate to treason, at least not yet.

But if you want to trade quotes...
here are some that are just plane stupid:


"And don't forget, Sherrod Brown is black. There's a racial component here, too. And now, the newspaper that I'm reading all this from is The New York Times, and they, of course, don't mention that." --Rush Limbaugh, on the 2006 Ohio Senate primary race involving then-Rep. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), who is white

"This is no different than what happens at the Skull and Bones initiation...I'm talking about people having a good time, these people, you ever heard of emotional release? You ever heard of the need to blow some steam off?" --on the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal

 "Too many whites are getting away with drug use...Too many whites are getting away with drug sales...The answer is to go out and find the ones who are getting away with it, convict them, and send them up the river, too."

"This Haditha story, this Haditha incident, whatever, this is it folks, this is the final big push on behalf of the Democratic Party, the American left, and the Drive-By Media to destroy our effort to win the war in Iraq. That’s what Haditha represents — and they are going about it gleefully. They are ecstatic about it… Folks, let me just put it in graphic terms. It is going to be a gang rape. There is going to be a gang rape by the Democratic Party, the American left and the Drive-By Media, to finally take us out in the war against Iraq. Make no bones about it. "

I think Rush is a true patriot.....I can't remember which branch of the military he served in, but he backed up his patriotic talk with real service to our country....

The difference: Limbaugh is an entertainer and a private citizen.  Reid is an elected member of a branch of the federal government, who is targeting a private citizen for speaking out.  

It would seem that to some in here, dissent is a one way street and only against Republicans.  Dare to disagree with their boys, and it's time to shut 'em down.  

But, these are the same people that wanted the head of a majority leader and called him racist for basically referring to "the good ole days" at a birthday party of a 100 year old man, all the while mollycoddling a (past) member of the KKK who personally filibustered the Civil Rights Act for 14 hours.:rolleyes:

I wish he would go away, along with that coulter broad.


He can go away, change the channel.

I am constantly amazed at how many people want some action to prevent someone from speaking, when they have the ability to tune them out all by their little ol selves.

You don't have to listen to him, simple.  But wishing he would go away, what's the matter, what are you afraid of?  I chose to listen, but I should support your petty wish and Not be able to tune in because I might hear something You don't agree with?  Who the heck appointed people like You grand pubah of what I want to hear?

This is a symptom of a larger national problem.  You guys are getting far far too comfortable wanting to squelch people you don't agree with, and are investing no time at all coming up with an original though to compete against your opposition.

It doesn't matter what political party you subscribe to, weak is weak.  

Many people confuse someones right to speak as a requirement that it be listened to, you don't have to listen.

Many people also confuse freedom of speech and what it really means.  Rush, and others, speak out against a political system they don't believe in.  That is The Point of the Freedom of Speech stuff.  It doesn't mean you can promote Pron, you can slander, you can put anything up on a billboard you want regardless of how morally offensive it is, it means you can Stand on the steps of the nations capitals and Criticize your elected leaders.  

You want to remove that ability?  It's more important to me that some idiot have the right to spew the most ludicrous statements out there, and ignore him, than to have some nanny state deciding what he, or I, can or cannot say.

If you think for one minute that Once the precedent is set that You have the right to silence someone for offending You, then I will be Offended and Silence You, and you probably won't like it nearly as much at that point.

Precedent Setting, people.  It's all around and so many of you are buying into it.  Simple comments like wishing someone Could be shut down are happening instinctively now, without even coming close to comprehending how far you have fallen into the socialist movement.

Keep it up :)  You don't even know you are in their camp.  Being played like fools.

Nothing clever here.  Please, move along.
