Balta1701 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 To both sides here, my response is to urge caution. There's so little information out there so far, deliberately, that taking any political conclusion is going to lead you down a dangerous path. There are so many examples, even recently. Am I the only one who recalls how Barack Obama's thugs carved that backwards B in to the woman's face last year? And then, yeah... Or, alternatively, how an anti-abortion protestor was killed just a few weeks ago? This could easily be a killing for political motives. Or, it could easily be that someone decided to rob the victim and thought he could throw the authorities off on the wrong path by making it look political. Here's how I think you should look at it...if you think that Beck et al. are doing nothing wrong, that's fine. All I'll ask is what do you do if someone shoots up a building while screaming Beck's name? Or whatever. Do you guys think Beck is not playing with fire? I thing he is. If you think he's not, then tell me why. Alternatively, to those who are already jumping on this as an example of what Beck has unleashed...what happens when it turns out the "B" was backwards for a reason?

No, but his killer's brains were. And I think that's more the point I'm trying to say - well before the correlation of Beck and Baughmann. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So where were you during the Bush administration, when the exact same crap was going on in the violent hateful left wing of the Democratic party. I am the only one who remembers God Damn America and our President sitting in the audience for those types of sermons? But it only encites people when the right wing does it?

BigSqwert Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 24, 2009 -> 03:59 PM) So where were you during the Bush administration, when the exact same crap was going on in the violent hateful left wing of the Democratic party. Most of the stink caused by the far left back then turned out to be true. During the previous administration, on the other hand, the left insisted that Iraq didn't have WMD. This turned out to be true. The left insisted that there wasn't a connection between Saddam and 9/11. Also true. The left alleged that George W. Bush was incompetent. The rest of the nation caught up with the left when Katrina slammed into New Orleans, shattering the levees while Bush was eating cake with John McCain. Some, but not all, of the left thought Bush had prior knowledge of the September 11th attacks. It's a matter of record that he knew an attack might be imminent based upon the famous PDB titled "Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States." So that one was partially true. The left also accused the administration of using illegal wiretaps, torture and other human rights violations. All true. Did Bush have business connections with the Bin Laden family? Yes. Did 100 Democratic members of Congress co-sponsor a bill calling him out for it? Of course not. Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lower taxes so that YOU can have more money. Screw poor people. They're just lazy. In fact, screw everyone. It's all about amassing as much wealth for yourself as possible. Screw the environment if it doesn't help YOU somehow...preferably financially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapkomet Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Sep 24, 2009 -> 04:31 PM) There was nowhere near the violence. From your perspective, because you want it to be that way in your lens of the world. That way, ultra right wingers are kooks that demonstrate unstability that you want to see. Kooks know no bias, they're just f***tards. But, people want to equate kooks with "right wing" because somehow it builds this morality that liberal thinking is "better". On the flipside, you can reverse the words in my last sentance above - but you all don't want to admit that because it might make your ever changing view or "morality" incorrect.
