Sarah Palin: Holy ****

[Theben]

But why is it tasteless? You support abortion don't you? Why would you take offense to an icon which expresses what you believe in?

I will now use Ben logic to conclude that he- and therefore all conservatives- approve of the use of targets on major population centers. Since targeting major pop centers is something that nuclear weapons do, I can safely say that conservatives want to nuke America.

[Asher]

Perhaps then DD did as well? Or are you some higher being and no one else has your capacity to understand Melville?

FOR **** SAKES. I understood the reference AND I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE UNDERSTOOD THAT DINODOC ALSO UNDERSTOOD THE REFERENCE. ****ing every person should understand who ****ing Ahab is, YOU DID NOT JUST STUMBLE UPON SOME OBSCURE NOVEL.

It's just an odd metaphor to use repeatedly, and it's especially curious that Ahab is very similar to Arab and we all know what you crazy righties think about Obama's hidden "Ah-rab" agenda.

Dick.

I call bull****. I've never heard it before.

Too bad. As little as I watch the show I've heard it a few times.

I'm not sure how much can be read into a single overnight poll in a news cycle that stressed the bill as a major win for Democrats. If a bounce holds over time, you'll have more firm grounding in claiming that.

I guess it didn't hold: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_1...17-503544.html

History should be a good indicator that it will hold. And try reading down a little further so you can realize the poll that didn't hold is still present at the bottom of your article.

As for continuing the fight: sure, let them, I agree. It'll piss off even more people who are sick of the GOP's "party of NO" status.

You're reading too much into it. I'm not a birther. They strike me as being wierd. You may think it odd though but it seems to me as if HCR the Democratic Party's white whale given the obsessive quest heedless of the danger it posed to themselves or the fiscal situation of the country.

[Guynemer]

Are you really just whining over symbology because I don't see anything in Palin quoted rhetoric giving the impression she wants these people killed.

I don't see where she said anything about shooting people, either. I'm just saying that this is in very, very, VERY poor taste, and demonstrates her continuing lack of the most rudimentary levels of judgment.

[MikeH]

You don't think the phrase "RELOAD" with a map of gunsights is enough that someone could think she meant she wanted them killed?

"Will no one rid me of this troublesome cleric?"

[DinoDoc]

I don't think anyone pretending to be reasonable on this issue could hold the opposition for the actions of kooks.

[Guynemer]

No. I don't blame her for the action of kooks; I blame her for her own actions. That is more than sufficient.

[DinoDoc]

I was talking to the Nancy boy of a mod.

[Elok]

I don't think anyone pretending to be reasonable on this issue could hold the opposition for the actions of kooks.

Given that those kooks are stupid, angry, numerous and generally armed, it would behoove her to watch what she says to them. VERY CAREFULLY. Which is not to say that she should be held accountable, only that she ought to know better than to talk about "reloading" while placing gunsights on congressional districts.

Exactly - it was grossly insensitive of Sarah Palin to do this, in light of the property vandalism, spitting, and threats of violence targeted against Democratic leaders.

[Ben Kenobi]

Wow, the hypocrisy is strong here.

You know, I've been personally threatened by leftist thugs, who didn't believe in free speech. I've recently been enlightened by a layton worshipping 'friend' that free speech is not to be believed.

This is no different here.

How many polytubbies really support freedom of speech?

I don't want to see freedom of speech changed in America; it's worked fine.

Obviously not because you are *****ing about it here. Two-faced much?

[Elok]

I think you're looking for the Coulter thread, BK. In case you aren't, nobody has suggested Palin be muzzled. We've only said this is in spectacularly poor taste.

You sure? I'm pretty sure TEF wants Palin shut down for 'inciting violence' or some other bull****. Let's let the lefties explain how they love freedom of speech, but not for conservatives...

[Elok]

Yeah, you're "pretty sure" in that TEF has used the word "incitement" in this thread without saying anything about shutting her down. In other words, you're making it up.
