There was a poster on one of the other threads stating:

"Once again conservatives use their favorite tactic.  One which you cant go 2 minutes without hear on Fox or talk radio: The straw man.  The most effective tactic in the new media.  Build up an invisible enemy and equate it with your real opponents."

and...

"Get quotes from Nanci Peloci, BO or Keith Obermann wishing death.  Then you might have a fraction of a point.  In the mean time get the hell over it.  You want us to go snooping around twitter and message boards for the "mainstream" conservative views on Obama?  Yeah, thats right."

I guess it only counts if Nancy, Harry, or Keith say it, and then only a little bit. Brad, seems it's all a conservative plot.

Yes.  Conservatives make liberals act like assholes, and wish death upon those who do not kiss their ass.  Everyone knows it is all part of the VRWC.

That was preselectlee, Nitro; is he/she reading this? You never see stuff like this posted by conservatives; at least, I never have.

They claim to be the sophisticated and educated ones and yet they turn to primitive hate in large numbers.

I know, I'm not familiar enough with the poster, so I didn't want to out them (what was said was more important than who said it). If  he/she is reading, he/she can take credit for those gems if so desired.

Easy enough - next time a prominent liberal has a health problem, we'll go over to CNN and see what is said in the comments section.  I bet it'll be hard to find a bunch of death wishers.

I'd be willing to bet that almost none of them woudl actually say it to his face...

Only in the country they wish to create in the US, would they be fearful to speak their minds.

ya so much for compassion from the bleeding heart liberals! 

an old German proverb says:  "A man shows his character by what he laughs at." 

Come on Brad, you're better than that. Why go and automatically assume that anyone who makes comments like those are left wing? I know a few independents who cannot stand the guy' as such, it is perfectly reasonable to consider that perhaps you're being a tad knee-jerk in your reaction to it.

Not agreeing with what they say.

Because that is how they typically act towards people like Limbaugh.

Maybe your Independent friends just think they are Independent, just as you thought you were a Libertarian a few months ago. All parties have a left and right, some refer to the opposite end as "center".

That really was funny!  First his claim, and the second that you used the word thought with air head Lucas!

And what about how republicans/conservatives typically act towards... Right, whatever, put the blame on them - don't mind your faults. I guess I'm just one of a few people that would prefer a moment of critical thought over knee jerk partisanry. (Which is what it came across as, in my opinion)

And maybe you're not the true conservative you imply? Maybe you're actually an unforgiving religious nutjob? So what? I go by their word; i have no reason not to. They're educated, they've looked into the issues - and have come to the conclusion that they they are where they are. Just like you, I assume, have done.

Quit babbling and spewing nonsensical descriptors from thin air. You didn't know what the hell you were and birds of a feather flock together. What does that mean? Their is a 50% chance your friends are as screwed up as you are. I don't have to get unverifiable conformation from anyone else. Your own words damn you. Stop dragging friends (real or imaginary) into your argument. It means nothing here. Need another tissue or are you good?
