"She's a Democrat...so that's okay"
A customer just now at the store. He was reading the front page of the Chronicle Sunday paper (which shows a very blood stained scene).

Yes, there's a problem in this country.

And we were having a nice chat about the NFL play off games before this.

43. Someone posted a freeRepub message applauding the death of the little girl.
That's the kind of insane evil we are up against.

he would not get the point.

5. Ugh - disgusting. And another direct hit to broadside on those
espousing the "both sides are the same" meme.

14. In a very blue area of Houston.
Most here are horrified. The congresswoman's husband is revered here.

9. From Palin's FB page:
"It's ok. Christina Taylor Green was probably going to end up a left wing bleeding heart liberal anyway. Hey, as 'they' say, what would you do if you had the chance to kill Hitler as a kid? Exactly."

18. You need to upload them to a site like photobucket.
And then, you link from there to here by pasting the link from the uploaded image here.

17. That may be the most disgusting thing I have ever read coming from a RWer
And given all of the disgusting things they have said over the years, that's really sickening.

10. These people have no sense on what it means to be a human being...
No filter, no nothing. They think that nobody is ever going to call them on their stupidity and hatred? They can think these people DESERVED it?

Fuck. :mad:

24. unblieveable....
....to a large segment of our population, assassination is okay as long as it's someone on the Left....and throughout our history, it seems more people on the Left have been assassinated....

....to me, the Right justifies their 'open-season tactics' on the Left as a right, as freedom and as free speech....the Right verbally 'shoots' at the Left using a wink and a nod with the intention to inspire physical action....they are forcing the Left to respond in kind....

It was a sickening, off the cuff comment, after a nice chat about the Packers. :shrug:

Edited on Sun Jan-09-11 11:18 PM by ScreamingMeemie
...I took this shot after I read your response:



That's my daughter. You could probably ask her too. It was a long night and I was stuck watching my favorite Packers at work.


On edit: Those are tins of chew and snuff to the right of us and batteries and *shhh* condoms on the left. ;)

31. Ask him if that's what he learned in church this morning.
Shame him, yes. Remind him that Jesus didn't advocate murder.

42. I'm very cautious how I talk at work. A lot of our customers are
very cool, very forward thinking, but you get a whackjob every once in awhile. The ones who think everyone will agree with their brand of crazy. Another favorite comment of mine is "I love (insert names of store owners here) but it's a damned shame they're not Christian." This said as they pay the "cheap" price "especially for them" by the owner.

34. Yep, that is pretty common place around where I live.
I've heard comments like that a lot here in south Texas, I think the state has given way to madness.
