I am a Republican. A middle of the road Republican. Might be the last middle of the road ANYTHING left in this country. I believe in facts and in history. I don't like hype. I believe in traditions.

I think this is probably the last straw, the last shot across the bow, from the Democratic party. I am puzzled how people who claim to respect Democracy, who claim to value the process, who claim to believe in Freedom and in our country, can be so incredibly PETTY and SMALL minded. Miss Griffin's photo was literally the last straw.

You start by noting you're not the kind of Republican doing the offensive things (what others are deriding as a RINO), and then go on to represent Democrats as a cohesive block, citing NOT party officials but the comments and actions of entertainers.

That's your case, such as it is. Or rather, isn't.

I'm pretty pissed at Democrats, but for reasons rooted in reality, not fantasies I've decided to believe.

I'm pissed at the GOP leadership similarly -- not because Ted Nugent is insane, but because Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, Donald Trump and his Cabinet, and the GOP Congress enabling them are doing and saying ridiculous, destructive, and even dangerous things.

Find reality. Then you can explain how you're a moderate Republican.

So I am sure you were absolutely appalled by all the images of President Obama being hung or burned in effigy.

Thank goodness "conservatives" are such class acts.

For the record, I find the image of Trump's head absolutely disgusting, as I did the images put out of Obama. It just amuses me to see so many screaming foul now, after they sat in silence while the Obama's were ridiculed and treated horribly.

Griffin is the face of the Democrat party. The very face, we see it right here. Chants of "resist" and the associated riots and assaults are an effort to overturn the election and intimidate political dissent. Mobs are going to politician's offices, their hometown speeches, their homes TO INTIMIDATE THEM PHYSICALLY.

Obama "being hung or burned in effigy" etc was the fringe of the fringe, even some leftists violently opposed him

Much of the opposition to Obama was legitimate and was over political differences, as he was a Marxist gun grabber. You didn't see his speech venues mobbed and attendees beaten, other leftist speakers firebombed, etc though - like we see now. Make-believe scandal after scandal invented in the leftist newspapers. Kellyanne on a couch with black men standing around in the White House, two scoops of ice cream

"Omg omg omg, someone may have had a meeting once" blah blah blah stupidity. There is nothing illegal about meetings. There is nothing illegal about having discussions with foreign governments, every other president's cabinet did these things all of the time - it is part of the job.

This is all about overturning the election, and Kathy Griffin is the face of "the resistance"

The alt left's term for what they are doing. Which is a term for a bloody violent revolution

The biggest problem with the attempted "Ted Nugent" deflection is that Ted Nugent is the fringe of the right

Your whole ideology, the Democrat party and most all of the other "liberals" here and elsewhere are showing themselves to be as radical or even more radical, than Ted Nugent

And not just slightly. And it is over-the-top obvious that it is so

You lost the election, but refuse to let go

Where did they tuck Elvis away - Christ at least he went abroad...I think?

Elvis Presley - Didja' Ever

I think he spent his time in the service in Germany or somewhere. There was apparently a biggish deal at the time about him changing planes in Heathrow on his way to mainland Europe.

He did have to get his hair cut though.

Before my time, but I'm told there was more fuss from his fans about that the prospect of him getting killed.

When Democrats hire Griffin to campaign for them, this thread will be valid.

Until then, here's the real face of the Republicans, by that logic.

You can't have it both ways. Despite trying.

As long as Nugent is a sought-after GOP campaigner, there's no high ground here.

Aren't you the folks who keep whining "Well what about ______?"

Well what about Nugent?

quote:

ORIGINAL: Musicmystery

We're making progress -- you admit the existence of fringe.

The trouble with your denial, of course, is that GOP politicians seek out Nugent to campaign for him. No longer fringe.

Then your typical deflection -- I'm not a Democrat, for starters. I knew I was going to lose this election either way since the primaries.

Then your typical ad hominem fantasies. It got boring a long time ago. But you've got nothing else, so around you go.

When Griffin and Madonna announce their candidacy, you can call them representative of Democrats.

Until then, you don't know the difference between politics and entertainment.

I suppose Ted Nugent is the typical Republican?

Because you know, a better case could be made: GOP politicians seek him out to campaign for them.
