I just don't know. I'm not ready to turn into some irrational sub-human to extract a pound of flesh from these bastards.
I don't want to be like them, but I'm not going to pretend that they aren't looking to hurt each and every progressive. Being aware of the monsters that they are is important, though.

28. They are jealous and sick individuals |
|
They are jealous because they know if they got sick no one would lift a finger to help them. They can't stand it when people actually exercise a little love in action. They simmer in their own pot of hatred and bile and anything approaching kindness or love is foreign to them.
May they get what they wish for us three-fold and then some.

14. I said this the other day |
|
We sure take the "high road" quite often and look where it is getting us. As I get older I am starting to see the "dog eat dog" world I was told about as a child and I'm starting to second guess the way I think. It's one thing to personally take the high road when it comes to just your own situation, but because of us always "turning the other cheek" we have lost a lot of what this country should be about. With the Andy situation I don't think that taking the high road is the right thing to do. Those sick fucks that did what they did need to be put in their place. I am also starting to feel that way toward a lot of other situation concerning the repug party. They have shown themselves to be disgusting pieces of trash time and time again, and we just let it go. If it were just about party affiliation I would just write it off as "sport". Because it is "evil", I believe it needs to be dealt with. Just my opinion.

27. There's a difference between taking the high road and demanding |
|
that justice be done. No one is suggesting that we just roll over and let the people who stalked and hounded Andy and his friends get away with it. We need to press the FBI and whatever other authorities have jurisdiction to investigate and charge those who did this. My understanding is Will Pitt is one who is involved in that.
Taking the high road means we would never do the same to them -- if a freeper got sick and his fellow freepers raised money to help him we should be the first to condemn anyone who tried to use the same tactics as were used against Andy.
I understand your anger and frustration. I'm angry and frustrated with them, too. However, being a progressive or Democrat has to mean something besides just who to vote for. It has to mean treating others the way you want to be treated, even if you don't agree with their politics and most especially if they fight dirty against you. You don't fight them by becoming them, otherwise we'll all screwed.
Just my $.02 worth.

30. There are some that think that doing anything about it is wrong |
|
I understand it's not all about who we vote for. I don't quite understand what you are saying. You seem to be saying the same thing I said, but in different phrasing. There are a few people who seem to want to just let it be and think that if anyone goes after them we are "sinking to their level". My point is that it is not doing what they were doing, it would be making sure they don't get away with everything they get away with. You have to remember that their actions were based strictly on politics, they were not being advocates for the consumer so to speak. It was an evil and dirty thing they did just because Andy was a liberal.

Thank you.
Better? Yes, because sinking to that level in return does not solve the problem.
Better? Yes, because helping to stop that kind of thinking is something to fight for.
Better? Yes, because carrying on Andy's fight for fair elections, in the face of those kind of vile actions is something we all know he would want.

I try, dude. There is so much righteous anger that we can channel into carrying on the fight that Andy was leading, and while vengeance is good, too, so is directing all of that anger and energy and time and money into making long-term changes that would prevent situations like Andy's from occurring.

How fucking deluded can any one person be?
Actually, he's not deluded. He's scared.
He sees himself in a jail cell with Luther, all 6-foot-6 and 280 pounds of double-lifer. He sees himself cowering in the corner as Luther crooks a finger at him and says "Come on over here, sweet cheeks. You MY woman now."
He sees the gates of Hell opening before him, and is getting a real good view of the special section that's reserved for people like him.
And he thinks doing nicey-nicey to you NOW is going to make a difference?

That does not mean we should not pursue them and try to bring them to justice.
We won't make up lies about them, we won't distort the truth, we won't publically post their personal information on line(which is in the hands of those that need it) and we won't stalk them at their homes or leave hateful emails/pmails for them or hateful telephone calls. We will work to hold them accountable.
We will stand up to them, stand up for Andy and the truth and continue to fight as Andy would want us to do, for progressive causes, for fair and honest elections, not for vengence or hate, because it is the right thing to do.

Can you imagine the fecal tornado that would be brewed up would one of US harrass a terminal ill RW patient and prevent him from getting medical care because of his frikkin' politics?!
It would mean the end of the democratic party. It would be front page news all over the country. There'd be committees formed immediately to see how "far up" the obstruction went.
Anyone who still thinks that the RW and the LW are on level playing fields is deluded.

We need to let the authorities know what happened and provide as much information as possible to see that the sh*ts responsible are either sued into oblivion or thrown into jail.
What we don't need to do is harass them, threaten them with violence, or advocate DoS attacks.
If you feel the need to engage in illegal activities to get revenge, then don't post about it here. Just go and do it and accept the consequences when they come.

in some publication like The Nation because it would probably be asking too much to get it out in the MSM. The general public needs to learn how vindictive, callus and just fucking evil these RWers are. I can't believe anyone would do something so terrible to another person. Especially to someone who you had no beef with other than the fact that he is a liberal. This story makes my blood run cold!

I read that thread and alot of of emotions went through me, the least of which was rage for what they did to Andy. But had this been reversed, I can't imagine anybody from DU doing what they did. It's beneath contempt.
They'll get theirs, that much I'm sure of.
