Another example of Republican abuse of power and cencorship

Recommended Posts

>It is still a personal attack on a group of people casue he does not
>agree with something they did.

You are 100% right, and it makes his point pretty moot. But he has as much right to say that as other posters have to say "El Jefe Clintionista" or "the looney left."

>Since you said I could: Kerry is a slimy bitch!!!!

Happy to make your day.

Boy that sure LOOKS like you hate Republicans....I don't tend to call people I LIKE "Slimy Bitches".



I hate islamic terrorists. That does not mean I hate all muslims.

I think the RNC is a bunch of slimy bitches. That doesn't mean I hate them. Maybe I like slimy bitches. And it certainly doesn't imply anything about my opinion about the 99.999% of republicans who aren't members of the national committee.

Actually I compare Clintons actions and the Dems supporting those actions to make my points...If the Dems had said "Yep Clinton is an asshole for getting blown in the Oval Office, then lying under oath about it" Instead of "This is just a Republican ploy to make him look bad"...Well then I'd have no fire power.



Here you go. Clinton is an asshole for many reasons including getting blown in the oval office and then lying about it.

Impeaching him for getting blown in the oval office and lying about it was a republican ploy to have him removed from office having little to do with his competency as president.

you can't separate individual actions from stereotypical groups.

Just like this quote from you?

Hey Pot!!! this is the Kettle...Your Black!



Do you know what the RNC is? It seems to me you think I'm talking about the GOP. One is the entire party, the other is a small group. You can't stereotype someone as being a member of the RNC. Either they have the membership card or they don't. Quite a bit different from you classifying anyone who doesn't like Bush as being a democrat Clinton lover.

They are intentionally making it harder for them to do business in retaliation for criticizing them. That's called censorship.



Hmmm. I generally agree with you, but I'd have to say the democrats have been far more guilty of that kind of thing than the republicans, on balance.

Remember how FDR used to have the IRS deliver tax returns of his political enemies to him so that he could gloat over how much he had punished them with taxes?

While getting a BJ in office is not a good reason,
I personally think lying under oath is a damn fine reason to impeach a President.

If you can't trust him to tell the truth about something so trivial, how can you expect him to tell the truth about anything?

But you are slamming all of them for the actions of a few. And personal slams about their genetic makeup and hygene habbits., not the actions that called you to arms.

This was your title...Not "Some RNC members and a personal vendetta".

Then you called them all slimy bitches...Even the 15 that didn't vote for it.

A shotgun attack at a group, not a deed.

Why was he asked the question in the first place? What was the reason he was asked to testify under oath about it? Rhetorical, I really don't want to debate this historical issue. But, I doubt he considered the implication to his marriage to be trivial while the importance and relevance to his performance as CIC was.

I'll ask again, do you know what the RNC is? Because you're saying that what I said about the RNC has something to do with republican state legislators. As far as I know, none of them are members of the RNC.

I don't think any legitimate newspaper should be taxed.

Free speech, freedom of the press, etc., does not mean free but with taxes added. Any tax imposes some burden on the freedom of speech, and is then open to abuse by government.



Who determines legitimacy?

They can avoid sales taxes by making it a free paper. Quite a few exist here in San Francisco based on ad revenues.

funny, if you substitute gun industry for newspaper many people here would sing a completely different tune.



I wouldn't. That's why I frequently find myself agreeing with and arguing with the same posters in different threads. Yes I still get labeled a "lefty" and "dcmocrat" and "clinton lover" whenever I happen to side on an issue that doesn't agree with the GOP party line.

Yeah, but you seem to confuse the two.

Then why did you say that the RNC were a bunch of slimy bitches when you just admitted that the people who voted for this are not members?

So lets see you slammed the RNC for something that a group of people that rae not even memebers did?

Thats funny.

Cause as the CiC he has a duty to be honest. And as the President he sets the standard by which the whole US is judged...And just as now the world thinks we are a bunch of Texas rednecks, back then the world thought we were a bunch of sex crazed liars.

Was the push a Republican push? Yes, as is the no WMD's in Iraq is a Dem push.

Thats how things work.

He did a bad thing, then instead of admitting it when he was caught, he tried to get us to define "sex" and "is". He only admitted it AFTER he could no longer be hurt by it.

A really crappy man. And I while I can even admit that he had a few good policies, and was a great speaker...He was immoral, and ethicly bankrupt.

You're taking things out of context. It was a tongue-in-cheek response to an accusation of bias. The only reason I'm defending it from your misinterpretation is because it's amusing to watch you argue such a non-sensical moot point.

And as far as the Clinton stuff....apparently you didn't see the part about those questions being rhetorical. I really have no desire to argue about that non-issue. But I will address "back then the world thought we were a bunch of sex crazed liars". Actually, the sentiment I saw from Europe was that we were a bunch of sexually repressed puritans making an issue out of nothing.

Then you were speaking out of context...I read exactly what you wrote.

From your shotgun slander. And its quite funny to see you act like Kerry. "I didn't say that".

You must think I cared you were retorical...I saw it and ignored it.

And Nixon got the IRS to audit his enemies.
