No Dave, I’m saying that Republicans won’t crush you because it’s wrong. The only “threat”, I suppose, that would make people take up arms against Liberals is if Liberals took up arms against them.

>But you Republicans continue to demand complete control and refuse to compromise on ProLife, deficit building lowering of taxes while demanding reverence for the Military.

Yes, complete control. As in the Democrats controlling both branches of Congress. Sounds like complete control to me.

>they will kill to defend their special privileges of guns and religion.

What? guns and religion are special privileges for Republicans only?

Sorry, this is just garbage. You seem to want to conflate criticism of your positions with someone putting a gun to your head and forcing you to do something. There is an ocean of difference between the two. Until that ocean is crossed, you are just spouting “it makes me feel good to nurse this the other side is evil and i am a poor victim” complex. Grow the hell up. I really hope you are just a dumb college kid who will grow up in time. (I can forgive, to an extent, young people who are stupid like this because hey, they are young.)

You are saying because I and other Liberals haven’t been suppressed or physically attacked…even though Republicans have the power and guns to do that, then that’s proof Republicans won’t do it in the future even though the Republican spokesman use coded and hateful terms to destroy careers, lives, such as Sarah Palin’s paster saying Democrats will go to hell for opposing Bush. In other words, you are saying we are capable of crushing you bugs (Liberals) but abstain because you (Liberals) aren’t a real threat. But you Republicans continue to demand complete control and refuse to compromise on ProLife, deficit building lowering of taxes while demanding reverence for the Military. Let’s remember when a Democrat, even though a very moderate Southern Democrat became President (Clinton), Republicans did use the verbal (and sometimes the physical) guns: Rush Limbaugh for example…saying after we (rightwingers) destroy the Liberals we’ll leave a few around for show…heard him say that in early 90s), then there was Ruby Ridge, Waco, and then Oklahoma city all where Federal employees were murdered by Rightwing wackos. Then the militia movement and numerous threats on a relatively lightweight compromising Democrat. You see when Democrats or Liberals do obtain some power….to change things….results are like MLK’s death, many violent acts against antiwar activists, Harvey Milk of San Francisco and many other acts of violence by rightwingers.. the Weatherman pale in comparison….specially since they didn’t specifically attack people but Rightwingers have no such compunction……they will kill to defend their special privileges of guns and religion.

(and Republicans love 9/11 as it briefly forced liberals to support the President…even though that same President ignored warnings of terrorism and continues to support the Oil Lobby that helped fund the ‘terrorists’ that attacked us on 9/11/01/__ When liberals began to flee Bush 2’s demands for more and more uncompromising terms like lowering taxes for those who most profit from war and oil, or wanting to use 9/11 to gut the social security funds (and put them in Wall Street where they’d be fee-ed and sapped by questionable ‘big spenders’) we started to see that giving Republicans an inch and they’d take a mile…)

Well, I say pictures are louder than words.

Anyone know what time the Palin family had to return the prop, I mean, their stolen baby boy, back to the prop room?

Fixed

Songbird/Dingo ‘08

No time. I have to go out and move a couple of pianos.

Real work that accomplishes real goals, is not done in Pakistan, and oh BTW, pays me about $100 an hour. No wonder the GOP hates hard working middle class people like me. We embarrass them.

Wow. That Sarah Palin, yep, she and the rest of those Republicans show many of the same hallmarks as Nazi’s – forcibly suppressing opposition, dictatorial government and state sanctioned killing of races and/or classes that aren’t the right kind. It’s amazing that you managed to live through the last 8 years with all these Nazi’s around! Your perspective is so warped that you think that Republicans = Nazis is a reasonable comparison. Pathetic, and sad.

Actually, I’m still a registered Republican – one of those “Republicans for Obama” that the media assures us are just a small handful. My dad is a Republican, and he is voting for Obama, not cause he’s starry-eyed, but Bush has ruined the Republican brand for him.

BTW – anyone notice that Palin never said “Bush” or “Cheney” once in her speech?

That’s pretty rich, Mr. Tea, coming from someone who was making “Ein volk, ein reich” references just last week.

More sauce Mr. Goose?

Think I’m being glib? I’m not. The right is loving this gal more than the left likes Barack. Not because they have any real reason to but when they get behind something they get behind it all the way even if it kills them and everyone around them. Remember that thing your parents said to you as a teenager all the time “If all your friends jumped off a bridge and died would you jump too?” Republicans will jump. They’re jumping. Democrats problem has always been too much bickering amongst themselves. Republicans pick a direction and all get in lockstep and move. Never go off message.

The Democrats have no strategy to counter this. None. The hope and prayer is that maybe reason will win out this time. But you can hope in one and shit in the other…see which one fills up first.

The Dems didn’t see this coming and are in trouble. I am very worried for our country and it’s future.

Obama/Biden ‘08

Which ones?

“Anyone know what time the Palin family had to return the prop, I mean, their baby boy, back to the prop room?”

Stay classy Dims!!

BTW – Alaska is the biggest welfare queen of the 50 states.

Datadave… btw, I agree with Oliver. I try to nuanced about it….but it comes down to Fascism: read any definition and add ‘em up.

In fact, and I typically try to avoid this type of hyperbole, I found Gov. Palin’s ‘freedom’ assertion to be startlingly fascistic. I’d be very curious to know how she believes that North Vietnam was threatening the freedom of American citizens. If she wants to go back and read up on the French colonization and occupation of Indochina, I’m not sure she’d make that claim again without willingly being deceitful.

But that’s a minor point.

Pardon us? Shouldnt you be busy over at V-Dare Light? All your commenters combined couldnt make a full set of teeth.

Oliver is maybe more busy and thus more concise than I.

This is the shit that keeps getting shoveled between the references to styrofoam and hockey and that dogeared P.O.W. reference. As Orwell could tell you, it’s the lies that go unrebutted that slip through and get real. These are the real killers.

The lies about Obama need to be corrected.

Winning the Christian Right isn’t going to win the election. Note, Karl Rove’s worried that Obama’s not only cornered 90 percent of the Black vote…but he’s made huge gains with Hispanics. Awesome. Now, working women are seeing Wonderwoman from Alaska with her 10 trucks, dozen snowmachines, 3 houses and her inability to steer any of her kids to go to college…and saying “that’s not me”. Women are getting turned off faster than men on this ‘babe’.

In fact, she’s more of the same. Boring.

Sorry Dems, Barack was The One for a long time. There’s a new sheriff in town.

Enjoy having Congress for a while, but it’s going to be John McCain for four years and Sarah Barracuda Pit Bull Hockey Mom for 8 years after that.

Start grooming Chelsea for 2020.

Sarah Palin, tonight :

“Here’s how I look at the choice Americans face in this election. In politics, there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers. And then there are those, like John McCain, who use their careers to promote change.”

Mystery Men :

Mr. Furious: Okay, am I the only one who finds these sayings just a little bit formulaic? “If you want to push something down, you have to pull it up. If you want to go left, you have to go right.” It’s…

The Sphinx: Your temper is very quick, my friend. But until you learn to master your rage…

Mr. Furious: …your rage will become your master? That’s what you were going to say. Right? Right?

The Sphinx: Not necessarily.
