And some of you think we should not wish ill on the Haters from the Right
Edited on Thu Dec-31-09 01:12 AM by DainBramaged
Rep. Gregg Harper (R-MS) said, "We hunt liberal, tree-hugging Democrats, although it's a waste of good ammunition."

- During a GOP event at a gun range, South Florida Republican Robert Lowry fired at a target with the initials of his opponent, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, written on it.

- Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) said that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) would "bludgeon" blue dogs "to death" to get their votes for health care reform.

- A columnist for Newsmax, which has rented its email list to the Republican National Committee, promoted the possibility of a military coup against President Obama.

- Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) told supporters, "We're almost reaching a revolution in this country."

- After a man brought an assault rifle to an Obama event, Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-GA) said people "should" bring guns to public meetings.

- Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO) joked about Democratic members who "almost got lynched" at town hall meetings.

- At an anti-health care reform event, protestors hung an effigy of Rep. Frank Kratovil (D-MD)

- Rep. Michele Bachmann said conservatives need to "slit our wrists, become blood brothers" to make sure health care reform doesn't pass.

- Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison's (R-TX) former press secretary wrote a column favorably comparing the Tea Parties to "Project Mayhem" -- a fictional terrorist organization in the movie Fight Club that blew up banks.

- Rep. Michele Bachmann said she wanted the American people "armed and dangerous" to fight cap-and-trade legislation.

And let's not forget that Glenn Beck talked about poisoning Speaker Pelosi, Sarah Palin had her followers so worked up during the election that one yelled "Kill him!" (and Palin did nothing in response), or the sign at the Teabagger march in DC talking about how "next time we bring our guns."

Limbaugh Suggests NYT’s Revkin Should “Kill Himself”

“Mr. Revkin,” Limbaugh asked, “why don’t you just go kill yourself and help the planet by dying?”

1. We're not them.
I won't feel a great sense of loss of Limbaugh dies, but I don't actively wish him any ill.

I wouldn't miss him, either, but I won't wish him death. Let Karma take care of the rest.

14. I think the Goebbels comparisons are wrong...
Wouldn't Limbaugh be more like a basic and crude Nazi who wasn't part of the govt? Someone like Julius Streicher, the publisher of Der Stermer?

6. Death is final.
Edited on Thu Dec-31-09 01:49 AM by Warpy
I would prefer to have the man live just long enough to see everything he thinks he is turn to ashes.

I would not weep if he developed permanent laryngitis, though.

In any case, some equally repugnant waste of human tissue will arise to take his place. The stink changes names, but it will never really go away.

10. Can we wish them discomfort in proportion to the damage they've done?
I'm not going to wish anyone dead, or even seriously ill.
I'm undecided on wishing them unholy amounts of discomfort.
Especially if it's directly proportionate to the damage they cause.

You know, for each life they've ruined, directly or indirectly, wish them to get inflamed prostates or priapism for a day.

11. I will be glad if he dies.
Similarly, if I had lived in Nazi Germany, I would have celebrated Goebbels death.

12. I have to admit, I was a bit uncomfortable today
Watching the conflicts over the two attacks. Numerous prominent liberals argued that it was partially the fault of Democrats for not aggressively attacking repubs on their failures. The message I heard is 'we need to be fucking assholes just like them.' That is very difficult to comprehend and from my core I resist being like them.

As for Rush, BURN BABY BURN!

15. i could never buy into the hate you have for those that say things i don't listen to...
i don't wish ill will on anyone.

people say all sorts of shit. i just don't give a shit about what some say. but hate away if you must.

perhaps my "ignore" reflex is stronger than yours. perhaps my love of humanity is too...

33. and it's wrong on the facts
are pro-choice people "fetus haters"?

that makes about as much sense as calling pro RKBA "gun huggers"

it's rhetoric.

i'm not a gun hugger.

i'm not a fetus hater

i am pro-choice on both issues.

24. I had an Car 15 while in the Service and it had semi-automatic and they sure called it an assault
Edited on Thu Dec-31-09 09:33 AM by Toots
rifle.. I think any rifle that is capable of rapid fire is and should be considered an assault rifle.. a person might be amazed at the firepower one can achieve with a semi-automatic rifle. By the way the ar in front of the 15 stands for automatic rifle, the CAR in front of the 15 stands for Colt Automatic Rifle.

34. you can "consider" whatever you want
Edited on Thu Dec-31-09 01:42 PM by paulsby
assault rifle has a specific agreed upon meaning.

i can consider a 4 sided object a triangle. doesn't make it right.

media constantly refers to weapons that are not assault rifles AS assault rifles.

that doesn't make it correct.

need i define it for you?

and quit busting my balls. We're done talking.


It amazes me how incredibly stupid you are for trying to pick a fight over words by OTHER people. And how lonely your life must be to cry out for so much attention. And I think your goal is to lock this thread down, which doesn't surprise me since you always find ways to harass the folks here who don't believe in the gun like you do.......

46. True assault rifles, like the one you were issued, are selective-fire.
Civilian AR-15's are NOT selective-fire; they operate in civilian mode (semiautomatic) ONLY.

And AR doesn't stand for "automatic rifle;" it was a trademark of Armalite, the company that designed it.

Just because they are classless and hate-filled doesn't mean we should return the "favor."

It's the icon that was the source of my confusion, not anything else. Again, I'm sorry for the snark--I shouldn't engage in that if I can't even send it in the right direction.
