[In honor of this thread and the multitude of posts expressing the same sentiments…](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=486871)

To help out **Bricker** , **Shodan** , **Sarafeena** and the multitude of other Republican posters who are upset that not enough posters on this board are fast enough to denounce anything bad someone who happens to be a liberal does, I thought it would be helpful to have a thread dedicated just for that purpose.

I denounce:

1. Voter Registration Fraud by Democrats.
2. Calling all people who disagree with Obama’s policies racists by Democrats.
3. Defaulting on mortgages by Democrats.
4. William Ayers’ actions 30 years ago, Reverend Wright’s divisive and ignorant statements, Louis Farrakhan’s racism.
5. Chappaquiddick.
6. Negative Ads unfairly or untruthfully attacking McCain/Palin/any other Republicans.
7. Hacking private email accounts by Democrats.
8. Attacks on uninvolved family members by Democrats.
9. Any offensive comments by Sandra Bernhardt, Rosie O’Donnell, or anything offensive any liberal ever said on the whole of the internet.
10. Terrorism, murder, rape, child molestation, bribery, illegal lobbying or gift receiving, or any other lawbreaking by Democrats.  
That’s just a start off the top of my head. I’ll be sure to update this thread as news breaks. If anyone has any other denouncements, feel free to add them here. And please, let me know when something else arises that I need to denounce.

There are a multitude of Republican posters on this board?? Well, that IS news.

😛

I denounce a lack of free porn and the right to bear arms…and skunk arms and squirrel arms, and other small animal arms. I also denounce the fact that I can’t own my own tank, nor vacation on the moon, nor do I have a flying car…or even a flying squirrel!

Reality sucks.

Don’t forget the SDMB forcing \*\*Bricker \*\*to change his mind into voting for McCain. We should probably apologize for that too.

Saw an interesting bit on [fivethirtyeight.com](http://fivethirtyeight.com) this morning:

>
> If Obama is ahead by something like 7-8 points ahead nationally, that means that he has persuaded just about all of the persuadables, and he’s left looking to covert people like those in Ben Smith’s anecdote.
> 
> ```
> An Obama supporter, who canvassed for the candidate in the working-class, white Philadelphia neighborhood of Fishtown recently, sends over an account that, in various forms, I've heard a lot in recent weeks.
> 
> "What's crazy is this," he writes. "I was blown away by the outright racism, but these folks are f***ing undecided. They would call him a n----r and mention how they don't know what to do because of the economy."
>

> 
> If those sorts of people are the undecideds – and when Obama is winning Pennsylvania by 12 points or something, that’s probably what we’re looking at – then Obama really is scraping the bottom of the barrel. Further gains are going to be difficult to come by, which means that his polls are more likely to go down than to continue going up. (Indeed, our model assumes that the race will tighten some).

All undecideds are definitely not racist. But some (possibly many) remaining undecideds definitely are. Doubtless a not insignificant proportion of McCain/Palin supporters who are also racist. From that note above, probably even some (very conflicted) racist Obama supporters. Maybe their heads will explode.

Thank you for reminding me.

1. Clinton’s lying under oath.

1. Clinton’s (and Madeline Albright’s) utter mishandling of the Rwandan genocide. To be honest, I didn’t give a shit about the blowjob or the lying about it, but this was a sorry chapter in his legacy.

Regarding number 9, many people find Health Care reform offensive, a slide into socialism. Do you still denounce everything that’s offensive?

If it had pleased _God_ to put it in the hard heart of either of the brothers, in all these frightful years, to grant me any tidings of my dearest wife–so much as to let me know by a word whether alive or dead–I might have thought that He had not quite abandoned them. But, now I believe that the mark of the red cross is fatal to them, and that they have no part in His mercies. And them and their descendants, to the last of their race, I, Alexandre Manette, unhappy prisoner, do this last night of the year 1767, in my unbearable agony, denounce to the times when all these things shall be answered for. I denounce them to Heaven and to earth.

No. I should have been more clear. I meant to denounce personally offensive comments, not just disagreements on policy. I don’t think it would do to denounce civil disagreements.
