There is no discussion or debate, just high fiving and insults. There are some good things on the internet. But there is also no shortage of cancerous elements. One of the cancerous elements of the internet is "Blogging" where anyone with a keyboard and access to the net proclaims to the world "usually using vitriol" how they are right and how anyone who disagrees with them is wrong. People from all political sides are guilty of this. You know the saying "Arguing on the internet is like competing in the Special Olympics. Even if you think you have won your argument, you are still retarded". Now to show everyone I am not immune from this retardation ... How come it is okay for Lefist politicians to insight violence. How come the mainstream media is NOT reporting what Democratic Michael Capuano has told his lemmings? Hypocrisy in action in the mainstream media.

DanG 1 #13 February 23, 2011 You think this thread qualified as an interesting exchange? You think your OP was not posted from up on a high horse? Give me a break. Wendy's thread is still intersting. kallend (who you seem to have a particular dislike for) didn't get any more smart assed than anyone else. You took his comments completely out of context. That's not surprising given the history you two have of sniping at each other, but if you really think he's the only one who contributes to the negative tone here, you need to take a step back. For the record, what this guy said is stupid, and it is not unreasonable that some small portion of the blame for future violence be placed on his shoulders. Whether the media will do that or not is unclear. On the other hand, you have to admit there is a difference in circumstance between the crosshair situation (where a particular person targeted by a prominent political figure was shot in the head) and this one (where a much less recognizable figure made a vague reference to unspecific violent acts). - Dan G Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is also disingenuous of you to say the cross hairs were on the person It was a district The cross hairs have been used for years and a prominent Dem said HE started it To say there is a difference shows nothing but dishonesty in the debate or flawed or brain dead thinking IMO At least it is hypocritical.

DanG 1 #18 February 23, 2011 They were crosshairs. The disingenous part was to claim they were surveyor's marks. I'm not going to dig up my post about the Arizona incident to quote it, but I thought I was pretty clear at the time. People who commit violent acts are to blame for what they've done. On the other hand, if a person incites another to violence, they should share some of that blame. I personally don't think crosshairs over a district (happy?) or the comment to "get bloody" rises to the level of inciting violence. - Dan G Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DaVinci 0 #24 February 25, 2011 QuoteThere is no discussion or debate, just high fiving and insults. There is no debate because some can't defend their hypocrisy. (R) Puts out a mailing with crosshairs: She is based ofr doing it. (D) Puts out a mailing with crosshairs: Nothing. There clearly is a double standard when one group ONLY bashes when ONE party does something and ignores it when their own party does the same thing. There is no debate here since those that bashed Palin do not have the same outrage and see no problem when a candidate or party they support does it.

Or is this not as bad as cross hairs? No it means what it means... The union people protest or strike.. and the RICH monied interests send in their goons to break the strike.. beating and clubbing the union members as has happened for the last 100 years. I find it very instructive that YOUR hero in Wisconsin.. the Gov... stated openly( well he never meant for it to get out in his chat with the big money guy David Kock that he thought he was talking to since he had been lavishly trikled upon so had to listen to) that they had thought about putting right wing goons into the crowd.. to make trouble.
