Anti-Tech Protesters Target VC With Vulgar Flyer

Several reports of this incident have made the news, all trying to re-categorize the protesters as something other than leftist OWS types. This is not far different than the discussion on another thread concerning the Mozilla exec forced to resign.

What are your thoughts as to this type of bullying by the extreme left?

This might be a good illustration of the downfall of the left in America. They've been so actively buying votes from the masses with hand outs for decades this illustrates no matter how much you give the entitlement class they will always demand more. The left may one day figure out they can't print up enough money to keep up with the entitlement groups demands.

This is why certain conservatives around here can't be taken seriously. There just HAS to be some way to pin everything bad on "the left."
 
Obama and demo's projected that they wanted to use "income inequality" as an electoral theme, and right on que the OWS stooges run with it, and start attacking people of means. And you think they're Republicans? Now that's amusing.

THERE ARE OTHER POLITICAL THINGS BESIDES "LEFT" AND "REPUBLICANS." Jesus ****ing Christ.
 
What? Are you for real? Show me ANY examples of a conservative group destroying property, or defaming people outside their home in this fashion....

Nope, this is the extreme left, and you are defending them.

Not everything bad, everything 'stupid'.
 
Those Democrats certainly know to throw a party!

The KKK is not a liberal organization. Oh yeah, I forgot, the whole Southern Democrat schism in the 1950s and 1960s never happened, and those people are still all liberal Democrats today.

Your sheer ignorance of history -- willful ignorance that is designed simply to allow you to attempt to score cheap partisan points -- is duly noted.

Are you saying the KKK wasn't composed of Democrats???

60 years ago, sure it was. But they weren't liberals, that's for sure. Continue being ignorant of history.
 
Some people just can't handle the truth...not our issue.

It's not "the truth." It's simple hackery.

"Liberal" is not a synonym for "things CalGun doesn't like."
 
So when was robert kkk byrd a conservative?

In the 1950s and 1960s, as a conservative Southern Democrat. Why is this so hard to understand?

The KKK and all of the NeoNazi groups don't qualify as being liberal on only one axis - embrace of the other. They don't like blacks, Jews, Mexicans, etc.

If you strip out that axis and then look at their other platforms, they love socialism, they want subsidies, they don't want inequality, they want fairness, but they want all that only for people within their group.

Present-day conservatives are far more sensitive to in-group loyalty than present-day liberals - no question here. That however doesn't mean that the conservatives of today are inheritors of all that the Southern Democrats, the KKK and the neonazis believed in. These guys were, after all, Democrats - they loved all that socialism jazz. This also means that liberals of today can't disown their forefathers, even the racist ones, just because those party forefathers believed that socialism was meant to operate only for the benefit of white people.
 
In fact I have made millions in real estate and in the coming months I will make more.

Yes, everyone wants to make as much money as they can and don't want to pay more for anything.. Point taken.

Then why did you ask such a silly question if that were true. Also I think you're lying anyway because this being the internet and you being you

I never said they were liberals, I said they were Democrats. We all know that Democrats can often be very illiberal. as their history clearly demonstrates.

Well, the original post I replied to didn't say "Republicans." Try to keep up before turning yet another thread into your usual anti-Democrat nonsense.

Yet,despite his history, the Democrats continued until his death to elect and honor him? Hard to believe.

Yes, its very possible I didn't do well in real estate but it really doesn't matter.
 
It could be. How dare you suggest what I believe and don't believe. You get to manipulate your material all you want, distort, post lies and all that other stuff (or is that nimby) but you don't get to tell me what I believe and don't.

Wasn't he the one spouting the "n" word late into the 1990's? Why is it so hard to understand?

Considering he recanted his involvement in the KKK and was a tireless champion for liberal causes up until he died at the age of 443, yes, they did.

"The Democrats" elected him? Yes, "the Democrats" ... in West Virginia.

It was you who decided to post a photo of Democrats with a huge fire, hooded white robes and a burning cross. You seem to be the one who is anti Democrat.
 
This was comedy gold. Thank you.

I particularly enjoyed your fine comedy touch of deigning to educate people about basic issues like "adjustable rate mortgages" and then grossly misunderstanding them yourself. The blind teaching the sighted how to read is always good for laughs.

The rate which is adjustable is the interest rate, not the value of the house.

I'm trying to understand how you see the world but I can't make heads or tails of how you could arrive at such a view.

Who is better informed about the policy choices facing the country—liberals, conservatives or libertarians? According to a Zogby International survey that I write about in the May issue of Econ Journal Watch, the answer is unequivocal: The left flunks Econ 101.

Zogby researcher Zeljka Buturovic and I considered the 4,835 respondents' (all American adults) answers to eight survey questions about basic economics. We also asked the respondents about their political leanings: progressive/very liberal; liberal; moderate; conservative; very conservative; and libertarian.

Rather than focusing on whether respondents answered a question correctly, we instead looked at whether they answered incorrectly. A response was counted as incorrect only if it was flatly unenlightened. . . .

In this case, percentage of conservatives answering incorrectly was 22.3%, very conservatives 17.6% and libertarians 15.7%. But the percentage of progressive/very liberals answering incorrectly was 67.6% and liberals 60.1%. The pattern was not an anomaly.​

FYI - You may need to rethink whatever conclusions you drew from this editorial. The author retracted it.

I Was Wrong, and So Are You - Daniel B. Klein - The Atlantic

But one year later, in May 2011, Buturovic and I published a new scholarly article reporting on a new survey. It turned out that I needed to retract the conclusions I’d trumpeted in The Wall Street Journal. The new results invalidated our original result: under the right circumstances, conservatives and libertarians were as likely as anyone on the left to give wrong answers to economic questions. The proper inference from our work is not that one group is more enlightened, or less. It’s that “myside bias”—the tendency to judge a statement according to how conveniently it fits with one’s settled position—is pervasive among all of America’s political groups. The bias is seen in the data, and in my actions.

So the Klan are all still Democrats?

Are you suggesting that the Democrats of West Virginia were somehow backward in continuing to re-elect this former KKK member?
