Pit,

Just curious, if I were a newscaster and I had a picture of Rachel Maddow on the screen with an accompanying label of “Rug-Munching Dyke”, would I be given a pass if the sole reason of my broadcast was my disagreement with Maddow’s opinion ?[/quote]

I am not sure I understand your question , but if you were a journalist and called Moddow a rug munching Dyke , I would question your intelligence, although true, it is distasteful and serves no purpose. I would probably not read much of your work[/quote]

Kinda sorta like calling Tea Party People Tea Baggers ? Is that distasteful and also serve no purpose ?

Pit, I disagree with you on some issues, but would not resort to calling you some kind of condescending emasculating name, know what I mean ? There is a level of respect that I would show you, regardless of your position.

Those who used the Tea Bagger label, only helped the Tea Party, shown in the landslide elections in November. It seems to me, that the more the Tea Bagger label is used, the more you hear about people who disagree with Obama being nothing more than a “bunch of racist crackers”, the more that Obama and the left lose in their constituents.

Olberman is gone, Maddows numbers are abysmal, it seems that those who preach “tolerance” are the last to show it.

The Rhetoric I am speaking of is DEFAMATORY , Socialist , Nazi, Lies such as NOT AN AMERICAN ,I think most people have a sense of humor about their sexuality. If I were a Carpet munching Dyke , I would take a certain amount of pride about it. So I guess I just have to be a carpet munching straight guy :slight_smile:

If you talk to any old timer around when Hitler was and they will tell you they would have stuck a knife in his back had they the chance. That is Defamation of character

I know what you’re trying to say, but that’s not defamation. Hitler had no character—he was a genocidal, crazy, tyrant. Defamation is saying things that aren’t true. If I say “I’d kill that serial killer Zodiac guy if I had the chance” I’m not defaming him, I’m just telling you I don’t think he deserves to breathe my air and kill innocents (and he doesn’t).

you may not like his character but Hitler was and had a definite character, it is defamation if what you say is not true , if it is true the person should develop a sense of humor

I am not going to pour gas on the birther argument, but truth be told, regarding the “not an American” argument, he has been less than forthcoming when it comes to proving he is an American. Just saying.

Ah there goes pitbull, calling the right a bunch of tea baggers. Would it be nice to an Hispanic a Wetback, which my parents. Or how about my black friend at work who I call Kunta…
Do you think the book they wrote about to kill George Bush is funny?

Listen I used to a lib like grew up in the streets in the Ghetto in the Crack epidemic and I was always taught to vote for dems, no matter what. I remember seeing crack addicts being rounded up and sent into to the voting booth to vote all straight Dem.
Then guess what I started thinking for myself, here in Dallas we have one of the most corrupt politicians. Then I started to listen to Rush and talk about a moment of AHAH. The Dems lead the poor blacks and hispanics into a cyclical cesspool.

Rush may be arrogant but as long as can back it up, no problem with it.

I am not going to agree with siouxperman here, but truth be told, if someone isn’t going to say something, they should just shut the fuck up instead of taking the time to type out what they’re “not saying”. Just saying.

Yet it would be accurate, unlike her incessant use of the term tea baggers, which is inane.

Why is inanity acceptable and accuracy not? How did my beloved country become so fucked up?

While it is obvious to anyone with functional brain cells that he was born in Hawaii, he is intentionally withholding his birth certificate to fuel the birther fire so his pet media can dismiss the millions and millions that disagree with his terrible polices as crazy birthers.

So what exactly is the level of proof that must be overcome before a claim becomes obvious to those with functional brain cells?[/quote]

I would accept a certificate of live birth from the state combined with a birth announcement in the local paper as enough.

Thanks for asking yes there is more:

Liberals have brought us higher taxes, homosexual marriage, abortion on demand, removal of prayer from schools, the entitlement mentality, big ineffective government, class warfare and a weak foreign policy.

As I’ve said many times, if you are a hard working person with a family there is absolutely no reason to ever vote for a democrat.

Did I miss anything guys?

  1. Who cares if gay dudes want to play marriage?
  2. A truly evil thing
  3. Prayer doesn’t belong in government funded schools. Do you want your kid forced to pray to Allah?
  4. Entitlements are not limited to Democrats.
  5. Do you want a big effective government instead?
  6. I hate how the Democratic party plays class warfare.
  7. WW1, WW2, Vietnam are Democrat wars.

A mixed bag.

I dislike the Democratic party but the Republicans are not much better.

And back to political correctness, it shielded the Fort Hood shooter.

You are aware that at the time his birth would have been registered all that was required was the signature of one parent aren’t you? I’m sure you are also aware that the birth announcements in the papers came directly form the department of health, in which case they would appear based solely on the signature of that parent.

Without seeing who actually attested to his birth, you are relying solely on his own word. Throw in the confusion about which hospital he was supposedly born in and his refusal to release any supporting documents, as inocuous as they may be, and I would think that those with functioning brain cells would really start to wonder why he is so staunchly opposed to releasing his long-form birth certificate.[/quote]

Because he wants to make birthers look silly.

Either this is the best planned conspiracy ever or he is tweaking people.

I would do the same in his position.
