Gov. Cuomo: Pro-life people not welcome in New York

I'll take your word on it. Now why did you ask me what was wrong in the story? Like I said, I'm not a reporter/journalist.

So you have no evidence that they got anything wrong, you just have a visceral emotional reaction to the letters FOX and decide that, without any evidence whatsoever, you're just going to reject anything they say because it doesn't say what you want it to say?

Seriously?

I'm going to be skeptical because Fox News reported it, yes. They aren't the best source of credible information.

There is no best source of credible information in the mainstream anymore. Everyone has an agenda.
Well, Fox News is bloody awful compared to BBC and Al Jazeera, my two preferred sources of news.
 
I define extreme Republicans as crackpots like Louie Gohmert and Michelle Bachmann who accuse their political opponents of being unamerican, who are willing to destroy the full faith and credit of the U.S. government to score political points, and who are utterly intractable with their refusal to even consider compromise with the other side. So I suppose extreme Democrats would do the same thing. They're out there, but they don't appear to be nearly as prevalent.

So as far as you're concerned you have never heard of an 'extreme Democrat'? All their positions have so far been quite sensible, middle of the road, and appropriate to you? Yet you feel you can point out 'extreme Republicans' quite easily.

Maybe you just haven't been paying any real attention to what leftists have been saying over the years.

Sure thing.

Most American news sources are terrible, that's what happens when they move from informing people to trying to sell a point of view.
 
Nonsense. George HW Bush, while VP, questioned the citizenship of atheists, asserting they cannot be patriotic.

Documents Prove Bush Questioned Citizenship of Atheists

I think that's far worse than what Coumo said. After all aboration and gay sex are legal, assault weapons are not. Meanwhile, GHWB assailed freedom of religion, but from you and yours, no poutrage.

I'm sure you could find something that George Washington said that would offend your delicate nerves.
 
As governor, Coumo has the right to tell morons with assault rifles who want to take away people's rights to stay the hell out of his state.

Looks like you've desperately turned to making up your own stories.

Hey, I'm not the one who started a whine-thread about what Gov Coumo said.
 
Cuomo made a general statement denouncing anti abortion, anti gay, and pro 2nd amendment people as unfit to live in NY state, because "that's not who NY'ers are".... Then a day later he tries to walk that back and say he was talking about his political opponents in the upcoming race....Why should we believe that? Are we to seriously believe that he is not smart enough, or articulate enough to say what he means?

We've seen it in here for years now, how many liberals speak of opponents of their views as labeling them as "extreme" .... I don't buy it...I think he said what he means, and he wasn't talking of just his political opponents in a Governor's race either...Liberals are intolerant of opposing viewpoints period. And he let it slip, now we have just excuse making, and dancing while never apologizing, or retracting the original comments. The old, "Sorry if YOU were offended" line of faux, non apology.

I hope that conservative people with means pack up and leave NY state, and any business that move to that state are pure suckers.
 
Liberals are intolerant of opposing viewpoints period.

Oh PALEASE.

You get whackos on both sides who are intolerant of others views and it's this kind of blanket statement that shows you to be a partisan who really shouldn't have anything to say in this subject.

You're not exactly the most open minded to others ideas who don't fit your ideological structure.

But also one has to take into account for some Conservatives the ever present Conservative Persecution Complex, which views criticism of their views as an attack on their free speech or... whatever.

Oh just stop it already Jet...I've known you for quite some time now, and it should come as no surprise to anyone where I stand on issues, or what I am going to say on any particular subject...In that manner I am quite consistent.

You on the other hand come in here and lob outrageously baiting attacks of conservatives for the most part, with seldom anything constructive on the topic, rather scathing personal attacks most of the time, and all under the banner of "other" rather than denoting your true political lean. I don't know if that is because you are just too dishonest to admit it to yourself? or just plain embarrassed to admit it to the general population? Either way, you have some huge balls to label anyone else in these forums as closed minded, or highly partisan on anything.

Now, do you have anything on the topic? Or just more personal attack?

I was criticizing your blanket statement that liberals are intolerant of other peoples views and you come back with EXACTLY what I was talking about.

"What a meanie boogieman for attacking my idiotic blanket statement, I'M UNDER ATTACK"

Cuomo can suck it, what's he gonna ****ing do?

As governor he doesn't exactly have unilateral powers to anything to conservatives so I'll ignore it the same way I ignore some idiot who says all atheists should get out the country.

Is the thread about me? NO! So why don't you get to it?

So why didn't you just say that? NO, you have to attack me first....Stick to the topic, or I'll start reporting your posts.

You wanna be a victim?

Go ahead.

I attacked what you said.

Not you directly.
 
Don't make idiotic blanket statements and you'll be fine pal.

Blanket statements like:

“Who are they? Are they these extreme conservatives who are right-to-life, pro-assault weapon, anti-gay, is that who they are? Because if that is who they are, and if they are the extreme conservatives, they have no place in the state of New York because that is not who New Yorkers are.”

Yeah, ok....:roll:
