Owner, you know that there can be no credit given to a republican for standing up for the right thing.   That is against the rules.  Take it back right now.

The only good man in this election is John McCain.  Actually, he's the only man in this election at all.

And what was left of the respect I formerly afforded you is now completely gone.

This is beneath you---or at least used to be.

Calling a black man a boy or saying he isn`t a man.....

One of the oldest and most often used outrages perpetrated by bigoted people.

There was a time, 8 or 10 years  ago, when you could have posted that and not been challenged on it. Most people would have agree with you. But sadly, John McCain isn't John McCain anymore.

i've never known CL to stoop to bigotry or any racist nonsense to make a point.  i may not agree always with him politcally, but i have always respected that about him.  He always called some of his GOP cohorts out on such behavior.  Besides, i believe he also included Joe Biden in his assesssment.  Sometimes, words are just unfortunate when used in certain instances.  "You can put lipstick on a pig", et al.

There are extremists everywhere and on both sides.  My point is that unless one personally knows each and every person in this country, there is no way to accurately generalize the disgraceful attitude of the ones we saw in those televised rallies to everyone or even the majority of people in the entire U.S.
 
 

Really?

So tell me, how many Obama or Biden rallies have you heard where people scream out to kill John McCain?

This is the end result of the Moral Majority politics that Republicans have relied on for years.  Don't vote on issues, vote on "values".  And if you don't share my "values" it is not just a disagreement, you are one of the "evildoers".

quote:

Actually, it already has gotten to that point. A couple of months ago, a republican nutcase walked into Hillary Clinton's Little Rock HQ, and shot and killed the chairman of her local campaign, Bill Gwatney. Upon investigation, they found him to be a typical "fringe" type. His apartment was a small arsenal of semi-legal assault weapons, (he was an NRA member) with books by Limbaugh, O'Riley, The Turner Diaries, and his TV tuned to FOX. Along with the usual stuff, he had clippings about Gwatney push pinned to his walls.

McCain was booed by many there when he stood up for Obama.  I wouldn't call those people his supporters.  Again, we have some extremists who acted in a way they shouldn't have.  They are not representative of the majority of Americans or even Republicans.  In order to make that claim, you'd have to know each and every person's heart, everything they've ever said, and all of their actions.  Then you'd be qualified to say whether they are a certain way or not.  We have the extreme right and the extreme left, neither of who represent the majority of their respective parties.

Complete and utter horse manure, bipolar.  You apparently didn't pay attention to the entire story.  It wasn't Hillary's HQ.  It was the state Democratic HQ, and the guy wasn't a Republican.  He didn't live in an apartment; he had a house in Searcy.  I know you're making up the stuff about the books in his house and the television being tuned to FOX.  The police said they never could find a motive for the shooting.  You make up things all the time to push your views, and you've tried to use this story before. 

The guy had just lost his job at the Conway Target.  He was fired for writing juvenile graffiti in a store hallway that read, "Target is run by dumb jocks and sorority bitches."  The manager had warned employees to be alert for the guy, because he was the type that shoots up his workplace.  He was just a 50 year old loser, and his paranoid delusions had nothing to do with politics.  You should be embarrassed for even trying to blame that tragedy on the Republicans.  I guess I should blame the Democrats for that Jodie Foster obsessed asshole that tried to kill Reagan.

Ahh the "everyone does it" response.

Totally appropriate when you can`t explain something horrible that your party did.

No one ever need take responsibility with such justifications at the ready.

Quite frankly, I'm getting a little tired of this line of argument. 

The same type of argument that tells us it really wasn't the Republicans who have spent the last eight years running this country into the ground. 

When things go well it's because of brilliant Republican policies overcoming Democrat resistance.  When things go badly it's because the Democrats resisted brilliant Republican policies.

Reap the praise for yourself but spread the blame when you screw up things.  Doesn't that about sum it up?

Just like you are doing with this lame "well the Democrats have their extremists too" defense of what's been going on.

So I challenge you again to name me  just one similar incident at ANY Obama/Biden rally.
