He was a Libertarian. I’m satisfied.

And this on Oswald;
Although a Marxist, Oswald wished to join the US Marines.

So, hey I guess we’re both wrong, huh? They were neither.

Well Frank, it has been a few years since some right-wing whack job has bombed an abortion clinic and/or federal building.

Okay, Frank, I’ll bite. What would you call him, then? What would motivate someone who belonged to a “state militia” and supported the overthrow of the Clinton government by force to blow up a federal office building in downtown Oklahoma City on the anniversary of the Waco seige?
What would you call someone like that? A Moderate?
..and you say I need meds…

I was the one who brought up McVeigh. Oh, wait…

I was the one who used a link to an article about the Haymaker Riots in order to confuse the issue. Oh, wait…

I was the one who dragged Lee Harvery Oswald into the discussion, and triesd to paint him as a sterling example of liberalism. Oh, wait…

I was the one who used moldy figures from over forty years ago to rebut someone talking about the present day. Oh, wait…

I was the one to try and infer that communism as it existed in the world when the USSR was a going concern (which was a totalitarian state dictatorship that tried to pretend it had something to do with socialism IMHO) can be considered liberal. Oh, wait…

Got any 400 word posts of your own to put some more Reich Wing spin on the discussion? Maybe you can link to a post from Powerline about how Atilla the Hun and Genghis Khan were really the first liberals, and therefore all of liberalism is full of crap.

And please notice that I made no demands of you to satisfy my debate points, even though you still feel you have the right to tell others what they’re thinking, how they’re thinking it, and how they will (not should, but will) live their lives.

I’m starting to agree with those here who think clowns like the trolls around here must be Republibot talking points software.

But, Frank please stop swallowing the whole hog of Oswald being
a leftist. That is, unless you also subscribe to the fairy-dusted
“Magic Bullet Theory”.

You started this mess — get yourself out of it.

You can start with a three or four hundred word post, about how Oswald, who defected to the USSR, planned to assassinate Gen Walker because he was a “rightist”, advocated “Fair Play for Cuba”, and blamed Kennedy for the Cuban Missile Crisis, had no relation to the left, BUT, McVeigh, who was associated with organizations somewhere to the right of Attilla the Hun, was related to conservatives.

Oh, that’s right — you don’t take orders from me.

Well, then, whatever.

coaching his testimony

and

holding his hand

in the last paragraph of my previous comment should have had lines drawn through them.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Plus, you admonish others to get real, and then tar the entirety of liberal thought because Oswald passed out some pamphlets which you claim support a leftist (not liberal, but leftist. After getting your knickers in a twist because someone used your own standards to say that McVeigh was a conservative, not a rightist. Funny how that seems to be okay for conservatives to do, but no one else. Hmmmm…). Beam me up Scotty, there’s no intelligent conservative life down here…

For the record, this liberal also supports being fair to Castro – in all fairness, he should be strung up by the relatives of those he has disappeared over the years. After he gets a fair trial, and the record of his atrocities is put in the public spotlight.

Maybe one day some purported conservatives could get behind showing the same sort of fairness to the Illegally Installed Drunken Cokeheaded Usurper. You know – engaging in an inquiry to find out if there are high crimes and misdemeanors going on in the White House right now, stopping all of the other business of the government, and starting up impeachment proceedings if they are required. It seemed to be no problem at all to do that when we had a war going on and a president who was getting blowjobs from someone who was not his wife. It was so important at the time that we had to put him under oath in order to find a trumped up charge to impeach him with. Unlike now, when we have such a morally upstanding gentleman in the office, we can’t even ask him to testify under oath about his actions on 9-11. Or even appear before a committee without his veep coaching his testimony holding his hand accompanying him during all of his appearances befoire the committee. Why, I bet he would get rid of staff, or pressure other government officials in his party to resign, if they gave even the appearance of impropriety! Oh, wait…

Why don’t you guys get real, here. McVeigh was practically a minority of one — you’re acting like he was the Keynote speaker at the 1996 Rep Convention.

Put your hand down, Tom, I want someone else to answer&

I must have missed the post where you were givven the exclusive right to tell evveryone else when, where and how they can comment on Oliver Willis’ blog. It must have been the same post where it was explained how Frank can pull wild-ass incoherent BS out of his pie hole and use his distortions to define what his idealogical opponents’ mindset is.

As for the latest re-wording of your question: McVeigh was extremely conservative – just slightly to the right of the OxyContin Kid. He was a member of the Michigan Militia and claimed to be associated with the Christian Identity movement – both of which want to try and influence political policy in order to make it more conservative. The Michigan Militia holds the ideals of Grover Norquist dear, and the christian identity people worship Falwell and Robertson and their ideals about how a government should be run.

Please enlighten us as to what your beliefs are regarding Lee Harvey Oswald and his liberal political connections. I’m sure it was just a coincidence that he helped to assassinate the most liberal president the US had (s)elected up to that point, what with him being such a staunch liberal and all…

Oh, yeah – and you can shove all of your faith-based speaking on behalf of all things liberal up any orifice on your person you consider appropriate. I don’t have to follow your rules, boy…

Holy crap Frank, McVeigh embodied the extreme right wing in this country. He was avenging Ruby Ridge and Waco, for crying out loud.

Frank encapsulates Bush’s entire approach to the problems in Iraq: “If I just shut my eyes tight enough, it will all go away …”
