billvon 3,132 #1 November 30, 2005 Recently O'Reilly called for a boycott of stores that refuse to refer to the holiday as "christmas" and use "happy holidays" or whatever, all part of his 'Christmas Crusade.' Ironically, here's how his christmas ornaments are advertised on FOX (see attachement.) By his rules I suppose we should boycott FOX. I swear, it's almost like you look at any right-wing commentator, and they're pretty much guaranteed to be doing EXACTLY what they rail against. Rail against loser drugheads? It will turn out they're abusing prescription painkillers. Take a stand againt homosexualty? They'll be hitting on men on gay.com. Lambast the morality of liberals? It will turn out they were once a prostitute. Hmm, I wonder if gay men have figured out what a dating opportunity the RNC could be? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yup - can't even tell the difference between far right wingers and activist liberals, now. Turns out they are all just the same. ...

Do you know how often I hear Republican supporters in this room rail against "the lefties" and "liberals" while they're being referred to as "conservatives" and "the far right"? I agree with you that they are the same (mostly, but not completely). Can you agree that Democrats and Republicans are both leftist liberals? Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

rehmwa 2 #5 November 30, 2005 QuoteCan you agree that Democrats and Republicans are both leftist liberals? no, but I can agree that it's hard to tell the difference between the activist extremes on both sides As far as your pet peeve - not just a knee jerk reply, but something I feel rather strongly about - it's why I'm more impressed with the quiet types that walk their talk and don't make a big deal about it Loudmouth anti-gay types have closet lovers of the same sex Loudmouth anti-druggers OD on pain pills etc(Bill's list was excellent for one side of the aisle - he's good at that) Loudmouth anti-gun types have armed guards or automatics in the trunk Loudmouth environmentalists driving their fleet of SUVs on their ranch Loudmouth "Save the starving people" types discussing it at their extensive dinner parties Anti-development types with their big house in the woods Al Franken complaining about people not having talent etc I have more for both political sides, I wouldn't have commented at all except BV was specifically partisan in it same as far as I'm concerned - ...
