Let’s play, ‘Imagine If A Democrat Had Said This’

[SaadBell 0]

Thats a nice tolerant liberal viewpoint you have there. I see conservatives don't have a lock on hatred. Please carry on, I find this insight into the liberal mind very enlightening.

I am so tolerant, but if you come on here and said that any man who rapes a woman should face the death penalty and you support and totally believe this. Next thing we all know you are arrested for rape, but now instead of rally for the death penalty you change your views, because it suits your needs. Now that makes me angry. He has no problem with locking others up, but for his fat white self, he gets away with a slap on the hand. Injustice always makes me angry, and that is a big INJUSTICE period. After that I have lost complete repect for him, never had much, but now it is gone. I can't believe still listen to this freak show.

Yeah I'm not sure which extremist groups could be referred to as "liberal" - environmental activists and some of the more radical animal rights groups perhaps.

The KKK and other White Supremacist types have an ideology that has its roots in nationalism - which is surely the province of "conservatism"...

...and I'm not going to condemn the GOP for it, but I hate it when big mouths like Limbaugh try to paint liberals as extremists.

Steven... anyone can an extremist, just as any group can be extremist as well. There's no requirement that says "you must be of one ideology or another to go on this ride."

The problem with Rush is that he only sees extremists

(Kalamazoo, MI) Between 30 and 40 white supremacists attended a rally in Kalamazoo billed as a protest against "Black Gang Terrorism" yesterday. There were no reports of serious injuries, although at least four counter-protesters were arrested on a variety of charges.

Organized by racist podcaster Hal Turner, the event drew suporters from across the racist right, including members of the Ku Klux Klan and the National Socialist Movement. Reports on the number of counter-protesters varied between 60 and 120; many of the counter-protesters refused to enter the fenced-off area created by police for the purpose.

....

Turner was once a prominent activist in New Jersey's Republican Party. To area conservatives, he was best known by his moniker for call-ins to the Sean Hannity Show, "Hal from North Bergen." For years, Hannity offered his top-rated radio show as a regular forum for Turner's occasionally racist, always over-the-top rants. Hannity also chatted with him off-air, allegedly offering encouragement to Turner as he struggled to overcome a cocaine habit and homosexual leanings. Turner has boasted that Hannity once invited Turner and his son on to the set of Fox News's Hannity and Colmes. Today, Turner lurks on the fringes of the far right, spouting hate-laced tirades on his webcast radio show. Hannity, meanwhile, remains mum about his former alliance with the neo-Nazi, homing in instead on the supposed racism of black and Latino Democrats.

Rush Limbaugh- a Right Wing Conservative- says riots within in the Democratic Party would be good for the Republican party (True), so Liberals will go ahead and listen to Rush and start Rioting....Because democrats always do what Rush hopes they will do. Well, actually a lot of times they do.

So turn that around and imagine the reaction if someone on the left comparable to Limbaugh (Michael Moore) were to use the same type of sarcasm and tell people to go riot at the Republican Convention. That is the whole crux of this thread. The Right would have a field day with it...and people like Sean Hannity would be demanding Moore be arrested for terrorism.

The point was this (before we went off into left field with the KKK), a liberal group was threatening to riot at the dem convention. Not at the urging of Rush but of their own accord. All Rush did was to comment that it would be good for the reps in the election, which it would be. Your focusing your attention on a truthful comment made by a commentator. (Oh the horror! A commentator commenting on something!!) If the truth hurts so bad then tell the left wing group that is threatening the violence to stop instead of focusing on the reaction of someone commenting on it. Your (liberals in general) deflecting attention from the true source of the problem by bringing up a polarizing figure.

Your hopeless Steven. Ok, you got us. I have a robe and hood in my closet. All conservatives are issued one when we register to vote. Tell you what, just forget we ever met.

Good, so you admit that the racist fringe groups such as the KKK and the Neo-Nazi's tend to vote or support Republican positions. There are extremists in all shapes sizes and ideologies. For awhile there, you were agreeing with the idea that it's liberals who have a reputation for rioting and being violent, or at least not making it clear that you disagree with what Boo-yah! said.

Read his post again...which is why I even responded with the pictures of the KKK

I think they'd have a good laugh, but again compare apples to apples. Rush isn't telling them to riot, he's saying it would be good for the Republicans if they rioted. If Michael Moore said such a thing I doubt it would make their show.

Ever heard of Randi Rhoads? I could fill this entire forum with extreme rhetoric she uses on her show that goes ignored (as it should)

The only thing I admit is that your prejudiced against anything you don't agree with. How would you like it if I started posting pictures of Lenen and Stalin when referring to liberals? After all you are all socialists aren't you? You don't even see how insulting you have been don't you?

[one...two...tree 2,762]

Krickey! Did you read Boo-yah!'s post?

Here:

Good on him. Liberals protest whenever they get the chance so why shouldn't republicans. Time we give liberals a taste of their own medicine and disrupt their lives as they have done for so many years. Force our opinion down their throats for a change.

You don't find that insulting?

[Sheriff Uling 3]

If you listen or read comments from some "conservative" republicans, they seem self righteous, condemning, and demeaning (especially if they do NOT like an individuals or groups positions, actions, POV, or politics).. Although, I agree with a lot of the “conservative” position, some of the “conservative” folks that are mouth pieces for the party completely turn me off. It’s my opinion, that others share similar sentiments, but I could be wrong.

I don't see where the KKK comes into play. We were talking about a liberal group protesting the dem convention. Your posting of pictures of KKK protesters had nothing to do with it. Posting pictures of the KKK was an attempt to link that hate group with republicans. I take a very large offense to that. Then you proceeded to continue to try to link the KKK to the republican party. If you took offense to Boo-Ya's post you should have pointed out that at no time were republicans talking about protesting. This is a liberal vs dem protest. All Rush was doing was cheering them on.

you mean like what the left is doing now?

Funny, this all seems to be about Rush when it's a liberal group that is making the threats. How turned around it that?

Right wing pundits have a propensity to take things out of context. Do you really think Sharpton was threatening to start a riot at the Democratic Convention?
