It still goes along with the idea of being provoked, so no backtracking, only clarification. The person in question was implying there was something wrong with us.

I never mentioned you not once cause I know I can't joke with you anymore least the world ends.

And if Sava is so thinned skinned he needs to watch out what he dishes out everyday. He at least knew when to move on and get over it. I'm not impressed with your impersonation of the wounded party. Not everyone cares enough to attack you man. Some people joke around a little here and there, but I suppose you can't do that anymore.

Well I am calling for the assassination of Robertson...anyone willing?

[MarkG]

"I didn't say 'assassination.' I said our special forces should 'take him out.' And 'take him out' can be a number of things, including kidnapping; there are a number of ways to take out a dictator from power besides killing him.

aaaah that settles it!
we can SIMLPY kidnapping him and hold him without trial for ever in guadanamo

that makes perfect sense

Com'on Ben, you can do better than with a False Dilemma.

My position hasn't been "human is speical" for a long time. AFAICT, that never was my position since I started posting on 'Poly.

The only thing I can see that can set human beings apart from other animals is sentience. That would make sentience special, however, not us. Or rather, any animal with sentience is as special as us.

Yay! UR pulled out his logic dictionary again. Now he can accuse people of committing the same flaws that he uses simply by giving names to them. Now that's arguing!

That's despicable! I am, however, willing to "take him out". First we'll go for a stroll in the park, followed by dinner and dancing. Finally, I'll throw him in a deep hole and let him rot. Oh wait, did I say that out loud?

Does freedom of speech include asking for the murder of named persons or groups of persons?

I think we need to take this elsewhere... Start another thread.

Well, the fact he was able to say that and not gotten his media empire utterly dismantled, nor ever haven gotten castigated by the right-wing spin machine shows that obviously he does have osme power.

I mean, he was basically saying America got what it deserved, and not ONCE did I hear Rush, or Hannity, or O'Reilly go after him, not once. You have to wonder why.

the leading right wing bloggers, like Instapundit, coined the word "idiotarian" in part to describe Robertson after 9/11. As for the talk show guys, theyre stupid too.

In the U.S.?

I know they do allow groups that spew hatred and intolerance (like the KKK). So, it's possible they also allow calls for assassinations...as long as they're foreigners residing outside the U.S.

I guess we'll find out if Patty gets charged. (Not likely.)

I wish Jesse Jackson would just shut up and concentrate his efforts on cheating on his wife.

But cheating right-wing pundits should just keep on talking?

What would it take for you to call him a communist?

The blood of the catpialists and latifundia running in the streets.

AFAIC, Chavez is very likely going to be one of the most successful socialists in history. Since he didn't come to power via revolution, charges of him being a dictator don't stick, despite how much the right-wing flings it. The U.S. is too tied up in other wars to invade Venezuela, and their oil power makes an embargo political suicide for the U.S.

I already ridiculed Robertson, on page 1, chegitz guevara. Quit being so paranoid.

[chequita guevara]

I never said Robertson cheated. AFAIK, he has been faithful. Many, many other American conservatives, however, have not. If rumor is to be believed, that includes our Prez. For example, you never say Newt Gingrich should keep his cheatin mouth shut.

Frankly, AFAIC, cheating on your partner is irrelevent to whether or not someone is a valid leader. You can be a sucky human being and still do lots of good. Look at Mother Theresa.

[Winston]

I didn't take issue with your saying Robertson cheated. But you did say it.

Are you drunk?

[chequita guevara]

I never said Robertson cheated. Look at my post. My issue with you is that you don't maintain universal standards. You criticize Jackson for cheating on his wife, but don't criticize conservatives who do the same.
