Obama Sign Stolen, Replaced With CSA Flag

[Glocksman]

At least they aren't doing this.

Nah, instead they're attacking Obama volunteers.

I freely concede that there are asshats on both sides who are willing to resort to childish antics and violence.
The difference between McCain and Obama is that Obama's rhetoric doesn't encourage such bullshit.

McCain/Palin's 'palling around with terrorists' bullshit directly encourages violence.

In other words, you can take your self righteous bullshit and shove it up your ass.
Sideways. Without lube.

Given that this is an election after all, the mud always slings throughout a campaign, especially when you've got less that 2 weeks to go. All I was pointing out is that I haven't seen anything regarding McCain supporters shooting up Obama supporters houses. Words are just words was the point I was making refering to the rhetoric between the two candidates. Anyone who decides that countering the words of another with violent acts has a serious mental health issue. I too concede that there are some seriously disturbed people on both sides of the fence, but the actions of those idiots tend to be quite different based on who they are aligned with.

That being said, the last part of your post clearly shows that you are incapable of having a good spirited debate and that you really suck at life as a whole. I'm willing to bet that you can touch your asshole with your dick... so you know what to do....

You're not going to last long around here if you expect this place to be a Miss Manners style board.

I don't expect it to be. I just enjoy pointing out the idiots.

Shine that flashlight right back at yourself then Captain Underpants.

Golden mean horseshit. I suppose it never occurred to you that a significant amount of the calls for violence and smears just might be disproportionately coming from one side?

Oh goody, a new chewtoy. It's cute when clueless idiots start spouting off sanctimonious nonsense that shows they expect people to coddle their idiocy.

[Lonestar]

Nah, instead they're attacking Obama volunteers.

Just to be clear, you think that going out of your way to shoot at someone's house is morally equalivent to a woo-woo going off at the home of the woo-woo?

I mean, hell, I'm pretty pissed at canvasser's at the moment now. Gerry Connolly has basically driven me to vote for the Republican candidate, due to 5 visits at my apartment by his campign in the past month.

Doesn't mean I'm going to go shoot up the home of Connelly's campaign manager,

You come off as someone who's never actually been on the receiving end of really virulent hostility before; it's easy to posture like this until you're the target of someone else's irrational hatred.

Not likely. But I do encourage you to bring it though.

You may want to learn how to use the quote function properly for starters.

Who hasn't been on the receiving end of an irrational idiot sqewing their garbage? I've had people spit at me while stationed in Japan (though only once over the two years that I had lived there.), being from Georgia, I shouldn't have to tell you the history of race relations there. While there have been much improvements as of today, years ago I would have told you different. Everything from name calling and having my ass kicked just because I was in "the wrong neighborhood". So yes, I've been on the receiving end... but it still doesn't justify being a fuckstick should someone say something or do something towards you that you don't like. Everyone has the right to defend themselves, but words are just words.

Indeed.

Where the fuck did anyone say it was necessarily justified?

Beats me. You're the one arguing against my point.

And I haven't given McCain's state chair Excedrin Headache Number 357™, either, so I guess we're all cool here.
The difference between the two campaigns is this:

Obama's doesn't use inflammatory rhetoric ('palling around with terrorists', 'socialist', questioning Obama's character and patriotism, etc.) designed to appeal to the knuckledraggers among his base.
McCain's has used such language, notably from Caribou Barbie for the most part, but occasionally from McCain himself.
To his credit he's rebuked at least one person for calling Obama an 'Arab', but he opened the door for such attacks to begin with.

My problem is with Dave B's statement:

Now, I don't condon in any way some of the crap that's been said at the McCain rallies, but at least it isn't becoming violent

There's been violence from the unhinged on both sides and his attempt to portray violence as the sole province of Obama supporters is simply bullshit.

[General Zod]

Beats me. You're the one arguing against my point.

The only "point" that I've actually disagreed with was your idiotic golden mean bullshit that the amount of violence and idiocy was somehow equal/applied equally for both sides. Your posturing I was simply lampooning because not everyone will have the degree of control necessary to withstand any and all verbal abuse thrown their way, which makes some people going off understandable, and your posturing retarded. NOT that it is necessarily justifiable.

During the special Election in California, just as election day was ending and the sun was setting, I took a good sized "Join Arnold" poster. I may Ebay it one day in the far future. I figure the proceeds from that would buy me a nice..well pay for half of a hoagie.
