southsider2k5 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 30, 2009 -> 11:43 AM) yes i know, the poor conservative victims, your life is hard. My point was this hysterical rhetoric isn't something new. Hey welcome to the club! Neither is demonizing the President by labeling him as everything evil people can think of under the sun. It never did cause a genocide in the nineties when Bill was President, and it didn't cause one in the last decade with Bush as President. It took throwing a curveball, but I am glad finally someone can admit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 30, 2009 -> 11:36 AM) These people have always been out there. No one paid attention to them until the Dems figured out that they could demonize them into winning elections. Categorizing all conservatives along with these extremists is laughable, but so is your idea that this increase in hate is somehow the fault of the Dems.

I'm saying I don't think there is a difference in level of hate, just level of reporting. It is a relevant story again, so it gets reported. No one cared when a Repub was President. Its the same reason you don't hear to much about all of whacko left wing groups now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, what I am saying is the crazy right seems to get coddled as "the hard working americans sick of government" instead of "man these people are dumb" the way they (accurately) show the stupid anarchists/lame hippies.

Balta1701 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 According to a new book by an author from the (Right wing website) Newsmax, threats against this president investigated by the Secret Service are coming in at a rate 4x that of the last president. (Note, since I got attacked last time I called a website a right wing website...Newsmax today ran and then pulled a blog post suggesting that the only way to deal with the Obama Problem was a military coup.)

bmags Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 (edited) Glenn Greenwald has deja vu Don't blame him.

StrangeSox Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 There are enough people taking him seriously that he's not going to disappear. I'll steal a line from where I got this video: "There's an inverse ratio happening here. Glenn gets crazier and in the process he gets less scary yet more entertaining. Conversely, his fans get crazier and in the process they get scarier and much less entertaining." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The innocent people who get executed at least get put out of their misery. I have never thought of that. An innocent person convicted is a nightmare no matter the punishment. But I still oppose the death penalty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I think folks are missing what I meant by "go away". I don't mean literally, like, they disappear completely. I am saying, if these guys have dwindling fan bases, they fall out of the picture for most of society, and that's what I'd hope for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, as per my article, It appears the Obama administration is pushing the conviction of an innocent man who was tortured just to save government embarrassment on something that didn't even happen on his watch. What a joke. All the wrongs I thought would be a cinch for a good exec to fix he's shuffling his feet for this BULLs*** policy to seem tough by being an asshole hawk. Torture is just punishment, it's no tool at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
