milroyj, you have a better chance of convincing a pile of shit to stop stinking than you do in trying to get one of the resident lefties to admit the faults of one of their own.
Takes one to know one. 'Nuff sed.
I know. I thought that calling the First Lady a “killer” was over the top, even for them, but I guess I was wrong. Not suprised.
Running a stop sign?
Hey, this is fun!
Running a stop sign is not a crime, fuckwit.
Proving that Republicans are far more adept than Democrats at covering these kinds of things up, I suppose?
Actually, Laura was only 17 and not a public figure at the time of this accident, which is probably why it doesn’t come up much.
The fact that she was, in fact, that young, does mitigate things a little. Youngsters are known to drive recklessly more often than us old fogies, after all.
And I’d just say that Dubya needs to give his daughters a good spanking. If he’s not willing, I’m ready to volunteer my services.
Yes, it is. It’s at least a citation, and if someone dies it could become involuntary or vehicular manslaughter, depending on the circumstances.
C’mon, man, you’re not going to be able to exonerate Mrs. Bush on this one. Still, accidents happen, and I find it very difficult to call anyone a “killer” for accidently running a stop sign.
A traffic violation does not automatically equal a crime.
Of course it doesn’t, you fucking idiot. That’s why Airman set out some of the circumstances in which it could be a crime.
milroyj, I’m not sure you want to have Brutus on your side here. He has proven time and time again that he is one of the stupidest, most vile, most partisan posters ever to tread these boards. If I were a Republican I’d be embarrassed to have him on my side.
So, are you saying that running a stop sign is not against the law? Or that the definition of “crime” has nothing to do with the law?
On preview, I’m in the rare case of actually agreeing with Airman – accidents happen, but yeah, she did kill someone. She has to live with that.
And, well, when doesn’t breaking the law not equal a crime? And you complain about Clinton’s semantic dances. :rolleyes:
Of course, none of the circumstances apply to Mrs. Bush’s case, which is why it wasn’t a crime. Fucking idiot, yourself.
Leander: I disagree with you about Brutus. He is direct and honest in his opinions and in the way he debates. The few times I’ve debated him, I’ve come away respecting his opinions. Not agreeing with them, just respecting them.
That he considers me a moron merely shows that his judgement of character and intelligence is somewhat wanting. C’est al vie.
milroyj, OTOH, appears to always be stuck in an infinite loop. Rather an odd affliction.
I didn’t actually say it was a crime (although running a stop sign is not exactly legal), I just said she killed a guy. She was 17 and driving recklessly as teenagers do. I do think that if Hillary had something like that in her past that should would have been raked over the coals for it. I fail to see a real semantic difference between killing somebody and being a killer. I didn’t say she was a murderer. She was not just a victim of circumstances either, though. She was negligent and she caused the death of another person.
BTW, I don’t let Ted Kennedy off the hook for anything he did. If he was drunk and his drunkeness caused the death of that young woman then he should have suffered the consequences. I just don’t see how it mitigates anything Laura did.
The funny thing is that if it were Hillary who had killed someone in a traffic accident, you Pubbies woule be calling her an unrepentant killer who had licked the blood from her fender.
After the vile behavior of your party during the Clinton adminstration, you Pubbies need to shut up and enjoy being on the receiving end.
I give up, you’re right, Laura Bush is evil incarnate.
What circumstances didn’t apply. Airman said that a moving violation resulting in a death could lead to criminal charges. We did have a death in Laura’s case, did we not?
This is what kills me. During the Clinton Administration, the Pubbies lied, snarled, vilified, howled, slandered, gibbered, screamed and drooled in outrage for eight years nonstop. In order to be anywhere CLOSE to the hysteria of the Pubbies, the liberals here and elsewhere would have to increase the ferocity of their attacks on Bush by several orders of magnitude, and pretty much ignore whether there’s anything to our allegations.
So it is with a sense or irony that I read posts in which the Dems here are being accused of howling and snarling. We are not howling and snarling by the standards of your average Pubbie during the Clinton years. This thread at its fieriest is mumbling and engaging in mild-mannered debate by THOSE august standards.
So, complain all ya want, Pubbies. Some of us remember the Clinton years very clearly, and your words do NOT impress.
Yes, we had an accidentaly death. Why the hard-on for Mrs. Bush, btw?
