It would be nice if the movement actually followed just those principals, but I am willing to bet that if I went to one of those rallies and said I was proud to have voted for Obama and would do it again, I would not be greeted with open arms.

Ya think? ;) That's exactly what I was thinking. Tolerance would be a breath of fresh air - and don't expect me to believe it will be there, because it's not HERE.

Holy ****, that sounded familiar. ""Are you now, or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?"

Nothing wrong with being a Communist. I just don't want you making laws, interpreting the Constitution or enforcing the laws. :shrug:

"Other" doesn't interest me in this poll. If you dislike the answers, don't vote. :shrug:

Then it's a dishonest poll.

It should include an option for those who aren't attending and don't want to.

Must suck to walk around with that kind of attitude toward charitable people.

I don't have that attitude towards people I do not believe have an underlying motive, in this case it would be publicity and a bit of controversy to fuel their ratings.

Tell me, what charitable things do liberals do?
Hannity has Freedom concerts for charity.
Rush gives lots of money to charities. A few yrs ago a million dollars to military that Harry Reid wouldn't match.
Glenn does his part and I think this rally is going to be HUGE
Hec, even O'Reilly gives a lot and he doesn't seem the type.
Oh yea, Mark Levin gives to animal shelters from the sales of #1 seller Rescuing Sprite
Funny you never hear too much about liberals doing charitable things. I guess they don't care as much as republicans/conservatives do. Unless I've just missed them.

Thats great, but if you are counting celebrities, I could cite people like Oprah, various actors and actresses, music stars, business people, etc.

Are you saying that you wish to disenfranchise those who disagree with you? :confused:

Please say it ain't so.

Would you like to have fascist lawmakers, fascist judges, or fascist police officers?

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and beliefs. That does not mean we have to treat all opinions with the same level of deference or respect.

are you going to deny people their rights based on their political pursuasion?

Facists have just as much right to be lawmakers, judges and police officers as you do, and as long as they stay within the law.

Of course they have the right to do so, the point is that I would prefer that they not be in those positions of authority (our esteemed colleague Kori notwithstanding).

well the original statement that sparked this was about denying Communists roles in government, and to go down a slope a bit, what's to stop that from being extended to positions in the community or society?

and i'm sure there are people who would prefer to have them in positions of authority, and your preference is just as important as theirs, 'cept yours is in the majority.

I wouldn't like it, but I am not about to rule them out as they have the same rights of citizenship that any other American does. If they are legitimately elected or selected, than it is what it is. I may mouth off and be annoyed about it, but I am not about to deny them their humanity.

Perhaps this is an issue of how the sentiment was phrased? The reason I stated "say it ain't so" was because Mellie tends to be more fair minded than what I read into her statement and I was giving her the benefit of the doubt.

Tell that to the kids of fallen soldiers who will have their college tuitions paid for because of people like Glenn and Sarah Palin. This isn't a political rally. No signs, bring your kids.

How does either of those 2 clowns have anything to do with college tuition for veteran's children?

Okay. And....just so we're clear....

If they say "Who cares about the Republicans or the Democrats...it's about principles" or something like that .... that's not considered a win in your favor. Correct? Only if they say negative things about Democrats and Obama. Yes?
Click to expand...

Yes. If they make this event political, which includes bashing the rival party and its leaders, then you lose.
 
Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin, proof that 2 half wits don't make a whole wit...

I bet it has a head the size of a beach ball, and a pea sized brain rattling around inside of it.
And the instructions say " best if filled with hot air "......

Pssst....Glenn is raising money to send children of fallen soldiers to college.

No idea, wait and see....the post 9/11 GI bill allows the education benefits a service member earns to be transferred to his/her dependents. There are also benefits from some states that allow children of disabled or deceased veterans.
Beck is wrapping himself in the flag, playing at patriotism...

i like what you linked to.



no mention of the fact that the marches they plan are for MLK's "i have a dream" speech, and that's why they're denouncing it, it has nothing to do with Beck as a person, or his politics, just the date he chose for his rally.

Whatever, I was responding to another post.

Given that this another steaming pile from the Beckerhead Teabagger crowd, there will, without any doubt, more political hate speech than anything else. That asshat is the embodiment political hate speech. Virtually everything that assclown does in public oozes political hate speech. Political hate speech is the lifeblood of him and the entire Teabagger mindset.

The only political hate speech I see is coming from your vulgar mouth. ironic, no? :ssst:

I am surprised that Rev isn't protesting because this rally will be feeding someone else's ego :mrgreen:

So the children who have been helped and put through college are just actors?
