Does the "load my gun" make you want to kill someone?

it was tongue in cheek - like Glenn Beck

everybody needs to lighten up ...see what I mean

Danzig · #3 01-15-2011, 07:41 AM

it was tongue and cheek is your defense?

problem is with his talk of killing moore, much like things on here, you lose much in translation. i don't listen to glenn beck, nor will i. i just know i saw something written about what he'd said. when it was mentioned on here that beck was anti-violence, i googled the story. now, explain to me how anyone who reads that would know it wasn't serious? that's a rhetorical question, as you can't explain it.

it's funny that either side is calling out the other, asking for kinder and gentler. politicians like nothing more than to accuse their opponent of being everything short of the devil incarnate. then, pols like to try to take the high road in denouncing the other party. anyone saying that only the left-or right- needs to clean up their acts really has blinkers on.

are you sure you're from Arkansas?

kidding of course. I'll be in Hot Springs next week, can't wait!

Both sides? Yes - because Keith Olbermann and Barney Frank are well-known for calling for people to be killed, for saying our government may have to be overthrown, and calling for citizens to be armed and dangerous

I agree with you that anybody who makes with the violent rhetoric (hey, I remember the late 1960's) is wrong. But right now, in our world, who is speaking violently is very clear. It's not "one side or the other", it's not even "one side", it is certain specific factions on the political scene. We all know who they are, and we can all watch and see if they change anything at all.

It's both sides, don't kid yourself

On Wednesday’s Countdown show, in his latest "Special Comment," MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann, after recounting some of the heartrending details of his father’s current health problems, went on to slam Sarah Palin, Betsy McCaughey, and ObamaCare critics, especially those who have used the term "death panels," calling such national health care opponents by the names "subhumans," "ghouls," and "fiends." He went on to "damn" to "hell" those who use the term "death panels." Olbermann: "It’s a life panel, and damn those who call it otherwise to hell!"

yeah, you're right. olberman sounds very level-headed.

Riot · #9 01-16-2011, 01:26 PM

Olbermann may have joined one of the factions I talked about (no, I wasn't saying it was not on both sides, read what I wrote, again) He cursed them out. Cursing them on air isn't right, especially this week, I agree (I haven't seen it)

He is correct in that it's an outright lie.

I'm not as upset with Palin's bullseye map as others are - she was jumped upon as she's a trail-blazing idiot. I am more upset with her death panel lie itself (because it did get people angry and aggressive over a lie) and her "pallin' around with terrorists".

I was re-reading "Game Change" (while waiting for Ron Reagan Jrs new book this week on his father) and it described McCain, when he was addressing that horribly angry mob of a town call, knew he couldn't put that genie of hate back in the bottle again, and regretted it.

Worse than Palin, but ignored pretty much last week, was Michelle Bachmann's, "I need you armed and dangerous", Angle's, "second amendment remedies". The "gather your armies" ad. Shooting a target with Giffords initials on it (that was done in Arizona). The "President Obama is the worse president ever and someone has to go to Washington and knock some sense" ad.

The two years of calling the President of the United States a marxist, socialist, communist non-citizen muslim non-American who is hell bent upon taking our country down crap. "You lie".

It's most certainly not "equal on both sides" right now, nor since 2008.

I watched Christiana Amanpour's town hall this am (where the victim told the Tea Party leader "you're dead") Yes, the victim Fuller absolutely should have been taken into custody, and he's under involuntary mental hold right now, which is where he belongs.

He sounded odd earlier this week - he left the shooting scene himself, he immediately called out the Tea Party aggressively Tuesday, etc. I wonder what psychological counseling was offered by the hospital, if he declined it?

But geeshus, they had all the people and victims who were at the scene there, recounting how it went down, crying, talking about how it felt to get shot, describing the horror, and putting themselves right back in that moment - this goes on for half an hour, then they start talking gun control. A lady describes her 16 year fight for gun control (her son was killed by a deranged madman with a Glock and a large clip)

Then, while the injured are sitting there, they were describing doing CPR, and the bleeding, and the dead child, Tucson Tea Party leader Trent Humphries gets up and tells them all they are being political and they need to stop talking gun control.

You can see the whole audience turn against him, and you hear the angry groan. You can see him look at Fuller when Fuller turns around and says, "you're dead". The police took Fuller away later.

But Humphries is a grandstanding idiot (don't forget he'd been active with this community during the whole past election season, and it wasn't pretty)

They also arrested a former GOP fringe candidate for Congress in Indiana yesterday, for making threats to judges and others on her Facebook page. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/0..._n_809596.html That's good. Arrest them all. Let them have a mental health screening ordered by a judge. Let the FBI come talk to them about their intent.

Michael Moore is probably the 2nd biggest douchebag on entire planet next to Osama bin Laden.

He shouldnt be killed, but Gitmo would be a good spot for him.
