So which is it rml? Would you rather have the truth or continue acting smug and asinine?
I had a post pulled recently because it contained a quote that had been pulled. The mod indicated I could re-post if I removed the text of the quote it referenced. I felt no need to since the post was the irksome event in the first place. However, this reminds me why I wrote
"More likely you'd have a progressive explode in righteous indignation and exude a river of bullshit before managing to close his or her mouth long enough to ascertain the truth. The lower case on progressive is intentional as the lack of reading comprehension reminds me of those who write DOM on their forehead in black crayon and suddenly feel so imbued with arcane knowledge that they think they deserve respect rather than having to evidence a reason it should be granted. "
So truth,.
From intersections international itself.

By the way, didn't you say you'd give Beck credit for not spending his time bashing liberals and democrats during his rally?
My, my Strange, you've worked yourself all up into a tizzy.
Let's see, where to start.
First, the only two articles I saw were the Yahoo and AOL links, which contradicted each other. Yahoo was basing its information solely on the claims made by the suspect on his Facebook page, while Intersections was offering a denial on the AOL
link. I found the latter more credible and that was the basis of my response to Lucky.
Intersections has since issued a statement acknowledging he was a volunteer. I could split hairs about Lucky's remarks that he was an employee, but I'll concede the point.
As far as your little rant about liberals, I think this is the third or fourth post I've made on this thread and I have not said anything partisan or suggested his attack was motivated by conservatives. So I think you might want to look into your own explosions of "righteous indignation".
The part about me being smug was really funny coming from the pot.
Lastly, to your off-topic remarks about Beck, you might have considered posting them on the two threads we have about his rally.
But I will also concede that it was not overtly political, though there were some remarks that could be interpreted as subtly political. Especially Sister Sarah's remark about those who want to transform the nation, a phrase she has used constantly in her attacks on Obama.
Not to mention that many in the crowd seemed to believe that the whole restoring honor theme was political, judging from their comments in interviews.
