Just like Saddam?
Do you have evidence the guy’s a musalman?
So… You have an opinion piece by someone who is not even in this country who says we should wait until we have more evidence? Is that all ya got? Because your previous post implies that there was widespread – or at least known – speculation from the left wing that the bomber was American.
I do recall someone quoting one of them saying something about “maybe now they’ll wake up to what happens when you go against the American people” (quoted from memory so I probably butchered it). And on another forum one of the first responses I saw to the breaking story was "Americans are starting to fight back… "; guy got promptly banned though.
I do!
Now, would you like to remind the class why people thought that?
CMC fnord!
Hint, it’s right there in your P180 cite.
Well basically them seem to lean to the theory that either Loughner is a leftist or that Judge Roll was the actual target.
He did so in an article telling other not to jump to conclusions, yet he was essentially doing that himself! In addition people who are suspecting the Tea Party are speaking that with certainty even though the evidence is a best ambigous (hint: Communist Manifesto and Mein Kampf are among his favourite books).
What should we conclude from this information?
Hmm… that perhaps he wasn’t a right winger (of the Republican type at least) considering the two great bogeymen of the Tea Party are Nazis and Communists? :dubious:
So right wingers never read* Mein Kampf* or the* Communist Manifesto*? :dubious:
There’s a difference between “I read that book” and “favourite book”.
When the answer turns out to be zero, I wonder how many of your prejudices you will be willing to rethink. Actually, I don’t wonder at all.
So you are hanging your entire leftist argument on one word?
That’s what I’ve been saying all along! Jesus. Where was the debate again?
:rolleyes:
The only point I am trying to make is just to illuminate just how quickly some here ascribe some phantasmagoric motive to the political party of the Republicans based off of the reign of King George Bush III, the recent wars, political maneuvering to block anything voted on by a “D”, general obstructionism to the Obama admin and the fact that Fox News exists and some people take it as fucking gospel.
There. That was easy.
Or, not so much.
sigh
And if Sarah Palin had been shot in the head? Is there any doubt there would be armed insurrection in the streets?
Try again, here’s the question;
Why did people think that the suspect in the bungled Times Square, not even close to being a bomb, plot might possibly be a Tea Party follower?

I wasn’t clear. And by "phantasmagoric (fucking spelling?) I mean a deliberate attempt/insinuation/order to murder a political opponent.
By whom? My perception tells me that most people no matter their political affiliation are catching on to the fact that she’s an idiot and stupidly inane with her politics.
This shooting is a condemnatory act, no matter what some voices on the TV/and/or in his head told him to do.
I agree that the nutjob TV/radio guys aren’t helpful.
But when Rush calls for armed insurrection, I’m just going to ask for a few of his pills.
And i hate pills.
A true right-wing American would never spell favorite with a U!

I blame the people who make inciteful remarks - and I blame the people who pay them too, encourage them to, or benefit from their doing so.
The audience who cheers Palin and O’Reilly (et al) on is responsible for financing and supporting their hateful remarks.
You’re the one who mentioned vacuums.
Did the kids, relatives, bystanders, and seatmates donate to, vote for, campaign for, purchase merchandise from or in other ways, support, the Republicans who made the various inciteful remarks, quoted here or elsewhere?
Then yeah, they’re to blame. They’re also - wait for it - Republicans.
Palin’s shit wouldn’t sell if there wasn’t a market for it. The market doesn’t get a pass for pretending they weren’t applauding just a minute a go.
It was easy for me to say. Apparently I did it in a sentence. You’ve had multiple posts to do the same thing and haven’t seem to have done as well. Chin up though. Practice makes perfect.
I doubt it. Does that count as “any?”
