Q: "...how much of a G__ D_MN alternate universe to you people (tea baggers/neocon fascist) really live in?"

A: They live in the universe of the corporate media that are completely responsible, through their lies and distortion, perpetuating and validating said universe.

Case in point--these three whores:

4. Great rant, my friend!
100% right. As usual. Time for the Far-Right to crawl back into the woodwork.

6. WOW! What can I say? It's all been said.
It would be great to hear a rendering as pithy and blunt from our side in the TV media and press.

7. I think it might be strategically more productive
to focus less on the teabaggers, media stooges, political whores and the sick little shrimp dick who did this and more on the corporatists who finance it all. They should be called out by name every day and not be allowed to pull the levers of hate from behind the shadowy curtain of vast wealth any longer. Curse them!

12. Standard tactics
Edited on Mon Jan-10-11 02:40 AM by Roci
for the Rovian School of the Party of NO.

Make the statement, even if it's a lie, by the time someone bothers to come up with the truth, the lie sticks.

All politics aside, I don't think anyone, anywhere is served by the arguments over what this guy believed, or did not believe, politically or otherwise. People are dead. Politics don't enter into it, nor should it, ever. I don't give a box full of pins what this guy believes, one way or the other. All I know is what he is accused of, and I'll wait for the evidence to make the case. In this case, politics, all politics, is just plain wrong. Don't waste your time on it.

Instead, help substitute reason and focused passion for an act of utter madness. We must return as never before to the foundation stones of the politics we argue. Politics and public service, indeed all governance via civilized means in a civil society, depends not on who knows what, and who it is "spun." The truth of our Politics, and the core of the entire philosophy we expound, is the betterment of the many, instead of the few. Those who oppose what we believe say that the few ought be made better and everyone is lifted by that.
The intensity of this argument, and this example of its terrible consequences when touched by madness, has blinded us to it's lasting meaning. The Politics, like the flow of time, and ocean waves, will continue. It always will.
But for this moment, which calls forth from everyone who is remotely Human extremes of Humanity to counter madness, we must resist the flow around us for a moment in time, and in it, create a lasting eddy of common Humanity, in which we can all flow for the greater Human good which politics is supposed to bring forth. The victims of this madness were trying to bring a common touch of Humanity to their dedicated beliefs when madness stuck them down. If they, and what some of them died for is to rise, and stand for them in lasting monument, then it is up to all of us who share a common Humanity to place that quality above the politics of the moment, and Remember, as I choose to, not that the victims were Democrats or from some other party. I choose to focus on them as Human Beings, whose attempted denigration at the hands of a madman, will not stand in my hopes, prayers, thoughts, or dreams, because I will not allow it to do so. What I shall remember, and treasure, is their Passion, Their Humanity, and their Commitment, which stands against the madness of a single moment wrought by the Politics of Madness, and the Madman who was the Instrument of that madness.

15. How can you say that politics don't play a part in this tragedy?
Edited on Mon Jan-10-11 07:06 AM by olegramps
I will repeat some of the statements that have been posted on DU by the Right Wing calling for the murder of Democrats:

1. Rush Limbaugh: "I tell people don't kill all the liberals. Leave enough so we can have two on every campus – living fossils – so we will never forget what these people stood for."

2. Senator Phil Gramm: "We're going to keep building the party until we're hunting Democrats with dogs."

3. Rep. James Hansen on Bill Clinton: Get rid of the guy. Impeach him, censure him, assassinate him."

4. John Derbyshire intimated in the National Review that because Chelsea Clinton had "the taint," she should "be killed."

5. Ann Coulter: "We need to execute people like John Walker in order to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize that they can be killed, too."

6. Ann Coulter: "My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times building."

7. Bill O'Reilly: "ll those clowns over at the liberal radio network, we could incarcerate them immediately. Will you have that done, please? Send over the FBI and just put them in chains."

8. Clear Channel radio host Glenn Beck said he was "thinking about killing Michael Moore" and pondered whether "I could kill him myself, or if I would need to hire somebody to do it," before concluding: "No, I think I could. I think he could be looking me in the eye, you know, and I could just be choking the life out -- is this wrong?"

16. It may
Very well have. We do not know the whole story yet. What I am saying is that there is a tendency to come down on this event on one political side or the other. The Media Noise Machine of the Party of NO is trying to make this madman out to be a Democrat. I'm a Democrat and Democrats have to stand up and say that, in an instance like this, Politics ought not matter, and *anyone* who reduces it to a political argument just to make points (as some already have) has lost sight of the Humanity that is at the core of all politics, as well as cheapening the Human tragedy, and the cost of extreme politics when linked with madness. Democrats should be saying this loudest of all, not only because some of the victims may share our political views, but because the victims were doing something with their (and our) passion that demonstrates that Politics is above all else, a Human endeavor, even in the face of the rude, callous and intensive out there who try to score points for their point of view, and in so doing, strip away the Humanity form what some of the victims were trying to do.

17. so does your language
Profanity never strengthens an argument, any more than Volume does, and those who resort to one, or both, genuinely lack the mental acumen to formulate and present reasonable arguments. Which by the way, is one of the things I've been trying to say. We know that some who have already tried to make political "hay" out of this event are wrong. Ask yourself this, my foul-mouthed friend. What do we look like when someone like you posts an opinion like this? Thanks to people like you, that same Noise machine can point straight at YOU, and say "Look, they can't even be civil to one another in a moment of tragedy." People like you give the noise machine all the "proof" of cause they need to try to drag us down to their level.

18. Oh boy.
I was repeating the words of editorial. I thought it was humorous. I'll use profanity to make a point any time I wish. Get a life.
