Irony post of the day :thumbsup:Keep trying to demonize your perceived opposition. Who else is doing that nowadays? Hmm.. let me think...
Irony post of the day :thumbsup:
Was it sent to a lunatic fringe who has already committed violence? It is all about context. If you send it to rational people it would be harmless. They have shown themselves to be unhinged at rallies with insane posters comparing health reform to concentration camps and have started in with violence, including their organizers.
Funny how you skipped over my other article and used the easy pickings out of context. I will repeat it for you who her audience is:
"After a tea party organizer published the address of the brother of Rep. Tom Perriello (D-VA) in a blog post urging anti-health reform activists to "drop by," someone cut a propane gas line at the house, Politico is reporting.
Now the FBI is investigating what happened at the home near Charlottesville, according to Politico.
The development comes on the heels of at least five instances of vandalism -- mainly in the form of smashed doors and windows -- at Democratic offices around the country in the days around the House health care vote Sunday night.
In the Periello case, an activist named Mike Troxel of the Lynchburg Tea Party wrote a blog post telling activists to add a "personal touch" to their anger at Periello -- who voted yes on the health care bill -- by going to his house. But Troxel mistakenly posted the address of Periello's brother."
"And there's one coda here, reported by the Danville News: Another tea party activist who reportedly posted Periello's brother's address online, Nigel Coleman of the Danville Tea Party, wrote in a blog comment after learning about the mistaken address: "Do you mean I posted his brother's address on my Facebook? Oh well, collateral damage.""
The only cherry picking going on here is by your side. New Black Panther members standing outside a polling place with baseball bats? No intimidation or threat of violence there. Black guy selling T Shirts outside a town hall meeting gets beat up on camera by purple shirted SEIU thugs calling him "great person"? No violence there, nothing happened. Threats of violence against Jim Bunning back during the "jobs bill" filibuster? No news there, nothing to see, move along please.
If you are trying to deflect, you are wasting our time.
No deflection, just pointing out the essential hypocrisy behind the panicked bleating taking place here and in the media.
My point was that violent messages and instructions are currently being sent to a lunatic fringe proven to be currently committing violence.
Your point is others have done it so it isn't a problem?
And how does a "threat of violence" equal violence now?
Those are just random, non-politically motivated incidents. In the few cases where there is explicit political speech attached to the actions, they are just random whackos and in no way indicative of any wider indecency. Only Democrats are victims of politically motivated violence or hate crimes. In those cases the incidents of violence or threats of violence are clear indications that all Republicans are dangerous subversives. In fact, they are such convincing evidence of this truth that the threats themselves are immaterial. The fact that some Democrats "feel" threatened is what really matters - which is why the threats themselves don't need to be published or verified by the press.So how do you explain that republicans are also victims of attacks and threats?
"Liberals" are not a cohesive group. They all have their own ideas. Whereas the "teabagger" morons ARE a cohesive group preaching hate, intolerance, and violence. Additionally, they are controlled and operated by Fox news, which preaches hate and violence openly to them.

Americans are scared.
Our economy is in the dumps and none of our politicians have a clue as how to fix it or they are purposely ignoring our problems, completely failing to mention the real cause of our problems: Global Labor Arbitrage.
Americans have seen millions of formerly middle class jobs leave the U.S. for China, India, and Mexico. They have seen foreigners displacing Americans from often college-education-requiring jobs via the H-1B and L-1 visa, and they have watched as millions of illegal aliens have invaded our country, depressing wages and displacing lower class Americans from poverty-wage jobs.
They feel a need to lash out but are channeling it in the wrong place. One problem is that the dogma they believe--free markets--is a significant contributor to the problem.
We are talking about simple tea bagger vandalism, and regardless if its orchestrated by a higher up GOP power or not, its not hard to predict that their shit must stop, or one or more of these miscreants will be caught in the act.

First of all ...... how are you so certain who these vandals are?
I hope they are caught too. But wouldn't it be funny if they turned out to be liberals instead of Teapartyers?
Just sayin'
No special treatment for them. Oh, wait. We're talking about the wanna-be royalty.Can y'all agree that Violence against Political Offices and Politicians is Wrong?
LOL... what does that have to do with anything?Cantor says someone shot a bullet through his office window this week:

This I don't believe, because if it had happened, he wouldn't have had to announce it for people to know of it. Police would have been involved and word would have gotten out. I'll gladly eat crow if a police report comes out, because I don't like the idea of anyone on any side lying about something like this. It's also worth mentioning in the same press release he harped about Democrats turning this into a political issue then plays his Jew card. Also, this guy goes to Brittney Spears concerts without his daughter.
Absolutely.Can y'all agree that Violence against Political Offices and Politicians is Wrong?
Really? You don't see anything wrong with certain individuals threatening public officials to vote a certain way or we'll harm/kill you and/or your family?No special treatment for them. Oh, wait. We're talking about the wanna-be royalty.
Desperation setting in on the right, hopefully FBI is getting on top of these right wing terrorists.
