Controlled Chaos

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 14, 2011 -> 12:06 PM) Yeah that helps the discussion. I don't agree with BS here, but he's at least trying to make a salient point and defend it. He said it's human nature. It's not. It is a political map from 9+ months ago, targeting Democrats in vulnerable districts who voted for ObamaCare. That's it. That's all. On the map it says, "Let's take back the 20 together! Join me today" On the page with the map it says: We’re paying particular attention to those House members who voted in favor of Obamacare and represent districts that Senator John McCain and I carried during the 2008 election. Three of these House members are retiring…The others are running for re-election, and we’re going to hold them accountable for this disastrous Obamacare vote. We’ll aim for these races and many others. This is just the first salvo in a fight to elect people across the nation who will bring common sense to Washington. Please go to sarahpac.com and join me in the fight. It's not a call to arms. It is all about targeting districts. All politicians use that term. I don't care if the pictures are bulls eyes, targets or cross hairs. To turn around and say that political map, is linked with somebody buying a gun and murdering all these innocent people, is not human nature. To even equate the two is not human nature…it is 100% ludicrous!! It's even worse to place blood on anothers hands without a shred of evidence, but let's be honest here…some people wanted this to be about Palin and the right so bad, it doesn't f***in matter. Just look at how repulsive some of headlines below are. Sick and demented! Deep down in the depths of their black f***in souls, they'd be ok with a few deaths if they could have pinned this on Palin or Beck or Rush or the Tea Party. That's why they're so quick to go there, instead of sorrow. "It was just a matter of time" has been the new battle cry of the left. I saw it on countless, now deleted, tweets, posts and facebook statuses this week. The left just can't wait to lay blame...damn the evidence or consequences. Damn the apologies after proven wrong time and time again. 3 Pittsburgh cops gunned down. - "It was just a matter of time" 13 murdered at immigration center. - "It was just a matter of time" Security guard gunned down at Holocaust museum. - "It was just a matter of time" Democratic headquarters in Denver windows smashed - "It was just a matter of time" Census worker found dead - "It was just a matter of time" Professor guns down three of her colleagues at University of Alabama-Huntsville - "It was just a matter of time" Pilot flys small plane into IRS building - "It was just a matter of time" Firebombing at a democratic congressman’s St. Louis office - "It was just a matter of time" Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords shot. - "It was just a matter of time" Truly sad! http://www.therightscoop.com/wp-content/up...ffordsdeath.jpg http://www.therightscoop.com/wp-content/up...dsarahpalin.jpg http://www.therightscoop.com/wp-content/up...pazshooting.jpg http://www.therightscoop.com/wp-content/up...fondatweets.jpg http://www.therightscoop.com/wp-content/up...ordshooting.jpg http://www.therightscoop.com/wp-content/up...1/joanwalsh.jpg http://www.therightscoop.com/wp-content/up...ichealdaly1.jpg

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 14, 2011 -> 11:59 AM) To illustrate that it's not unreasonable to question Palin or bring up what she said/did. There are obvious questions that any sane person could make by looking at what happened. Time line: - Palin issues map with sniper targets attached to names - One of the people on the map asks Palin to take it down because it could incite violence - That same person gets shot in the head Of course people will make those connections whether it directly caused the shooting or not. It's human nature. not

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 14, 2011 -> 09:03 AM) those hi def cameras make everyone view a super slo mo play in a different way. Im not defending the rule, but I agree with the gray area comment They have dissected it too damn much. Unless the ball is released in a passing motion and then instantly knocked out of the air, it can be considered an incomplete pass. Anything else should be a fumble. You're tucking it and get it knocked out = fumble. You're just starting your throwing motion and a defender drills you from behind causing your arm to go forward and the ball to fly forward = fumble. You try to stop your arm mid throw and the ball slips falling forward = fumble. I mean come on a pass is a pass. A deliberate release of the ball from the QB's fingers. Anything else...free ball. They have changed the basic rules of the sport.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jan 13, 2011 -> 06:08 PM) Stupid rule but not having that rule would leave a huge gray area. You cant have refs deciding what the player's intentions are. We also can't have the NFL telling us what football is. I know what a incomplete pass is and what a fumble is, most people do. It is the most ludicrous rule ever.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 13, 2011 -> 03:35 PM) Oh wait, just saw this too from the linked article. The car she is driven around in is a Dodge Caravan, which is leased for $13,680 a year. That's $1100+ a month, for a f***ing minivan. This needs to be looked at further. She's probably leasing another one for next to nothing, while letting the taxpayers pay everything on this one.

That's $1100+ a month, for a f***ing minivan. If her job is driving to and from the office...like every other person that works, why the hell does she even have a company car, let alone the driver? Unless it's in her job description to drive from location to location, why would her position require a car?

Former head of officiating says it's time to change the tuck rule Stupid ass rule.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 13, 2011 -> 08:00 AM) What jerks. Now they say they are going to try again. Whatever. I won't even take the counter offer I gave them yesterday anymore. So can you go through all this and then stay with the company in your current position? I know you said you had your eye on something else, but in what you said is such a narrow field...I'd be cautious. Good luck!!

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 13, 2011 -> 09:07 AM) Political pep rally? I didn't hear anything about policies, strategy, or politics in general. He said political pep rally "setting" and it was with all the cheering. There was even whistling and screaming when it was silent. It was just bizarre. I thought the intro was over the top for the occasion and kind of lead to that atmosphere early in the speech. Anyway, I thought Obama handled it well and it was an eloquent speech. On one of caulfields points, yes, some may have accused him of manipulation if he would have lost it or teared up, just as they did to Bush at the MOH ceremony a few years back, but that someone wouldn't have been me. Presidents are human and I believe their emotions are real when it comes to death. I lost it when they showed that little girl and were talking about her. With children of my own, that stuff just tears me apart and I think most parents are the same way, including the Prez. Nothing worse than shutting of the shining light in an innocent child.

What is wrong with these people. It's not a pep rally.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 11, 2011 -> 09:12 AM) You may not agree with some of the posts in here but you are adding nothing whatsoever to the discussion with posts like this. Your post added nothing to the discussion.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 10, 2011 -> 04:41 PM) Fox News CEO Roger Ailes: Fox And 'The Other Side' Need To Tone Down Rhetoric Why would he say that? What does what Fox says have to do with any of this? Weird. Idiocy.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 10, 2011 -> 03:07 PM) I don't understand. These topics are being discussed in fervent fashion all across the Internet on news sites and political blogs but we're idiots? To be clear, if you're using this event to criticize the "rhetoric" of Mrs. Palin or others with whom you disagree, then you're either: (a) asserting a connection between the "rhetoric" and the shooting, which based on evidence to date would be what we call a vicious lie; or (B) you're not, in which case you're just seizing on a tragedy to try to score unrelated political points, which is contemptible. Which is it? Via

This thread should be closed for idiocy. It's shameful.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jan 10, 2011 -> 07:57 AM) It was fun, despite being surrounded by tree bark eating liberals. Hopefully, the conversations stayed away from politics.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 10, 2011 -> 01:27 PM) He's the only one who's received any direct communication from the 2008 Republican Vice Presidential Candidate since this event happened. He's making news right there. He's been elevated to a legitimate part of the discourse. Why does it matter? Palin has absolutely nothing to do with the shooting.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 7, 2011 -> 03:36 PM) FYI here's the series of posts where he said he was leaving. He hasn't logged back in since then. Thanks for taking the time to look that up. I remember the discussion and made my own comments on the whole thing as well. I just wasn't sure if he left after that or was suspended or something.

just curious. thx.

Was Alpha Dog suspended or banned? I haven't seen anything from him in a while.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 7, 2011 -> 11:07 AM) Well, the study was actually retracted a while ago. And Wakefield lost his license in the biggest investigation in the UK to date. Problems were known with it as far back as 2001 or 2002, and there was never any support. This latest story, however, is the first one to break the deliberate fraud. Here's Brian Deer's piece in the British Journal of Medicine. He's been the main journalist exposing this fraud from the beginning. The sad thing is this won't do anything to convince the anti-vaxxer idiots. They'll just say it's part of the coverup! Never mind that California had its worst case of Whooping Cough since the 50's, that infectious diseases are on the rise in areas where people are stupidly deciding not to vaccinate. edit: Jenny McCarthy is a C-celebrity moron and should shut her dumb ass up. She is doing a lot of harm with this bulls***. I wouldn't be so quick to judge. My kids are vaccinated, so I'm not really on her side of the debate, but if some of the things that happened to her happened to me, I could see myself searching for answers. I think your post was fine without the "edit"

I laugh out loud more during Wipeout, than any other show. I was in tears last night.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jan 4, 2011 -> 08:28 PM) I started noticing at 48 on the sauce bottle. When Barney had the thing that said 47th annual whatever, I knew something was up. It was distracting me from the actual show looking for the countdown, but it was a pretty good episode in a sub-par season. Same here...I mean I saw 49, but it hit me when I saw 48, then when I saw 47, I went to check the show description to see if it said anything about numbers.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jan 6, 2011 -> 08:02 AM) Anyone who watched FlashForward knows exactly what's really going on... All I know is if this was a result of Fireworks, birds would be falling all over the place on the fourth of July. That explanation just sounds ludicrous to me.

Nice to see all the peace loving democrats out in full force.
