Right, so here it is ok to ignore it just "because"....

Just because you assume its intent was that of a light hearted nature (if such a sentiment can ever be cast in that light) or just because you agree with the hosts stance on certain issues, or just because you might not like "Joe", or just because you are really just as biased and double sided as those you lampoon on the other side of the aisle...makes sense.

Mr. Prophet knows all. It's time to plonk you. You are becoming unhinged and I would worry more about you killing someone than this guy. *plonk*

Discussion??

Where? when? on here?

Please, don't make me laugh...the last thing I would say ever happens on this forum is the true discussion and or debate of issues, this is a forum for cheerleading plain and simple, don't try and kid yourself that anything of substance happens on this forum... I am just adding to the fodder and trying to have an "interesting" time while bored at home.

And "childish", please if anything you're one of the last people I would think could make such a claim, or should I start digging through the archives....

You can sit down now.

Yes yes, tire of trying to make a biased point and what recourse is left other than to *plonk* someone with whom you disagree...throw in a little snide comment about the poster becomming unstable and viola, you have the liberal excuse to bow out of the ATPN board...seen it many times in the past and always brings a laugh.

Actually, I don't think it very important at all and it doesn't make me think any less of Democrats.

It DOES however, show that there are loons on both sides. And anyone that screams out or even whispers that they want someone dead because they disagree with them is a loon IMHO.

Ok, I think everyone can agree that there are loons on both sides.
On one side you have some SF radio guy saying vile, hateful and disgusting things.
On the other you have McCain, Palin and their political operatives saying vile, hateful and disgusting things.

I'm clear on that now.

Then someone comes in and says something about not questioning Obama because he's the messiah or something.

It's like clockwork. Really stupid clockwork.

One can make the same generalizations of the liberal circle jerk threads that pop up here in near ludicrous speed...touche

Now any minute we will see Techs, Dave, and probabily Moonbeam
Gosh. You must be prescient. What's the stock market going to do tomorrow?

Hey, try not to cut yourself with that 3dge there. At least you admit you're only here to act stupid.

Ok so we have established their are loons on both sides ... and you have proven your point . The radio announcer is a douchebag and the comment is reprehensible.

Ive read 4 pages of diarrhea (on both sides) in this thread

What is the benefit of all of this ?

What next to follow ?

Since the point is made ... what else is there to discern from this entire thread ?

In all seriousness, the lefties will find a way to rationalize this and make it "ok", it is the nature of these boards and has been for quite some time.
give me a break, this is about as important as yelling at a stupid driver in a fit of road rage.

Checkmate...and all of what, five minutes.

lol it's P&N shooting fish already dead.

As bad as this is, it's pretty much on par with what is heard in the cesspool of right wing talk radio on a daily basis.

I don't listen to it often, but I have yet to hear, or hear of, anyone calling for someone on the left to be killed....impeached, sued, thwarted sure...but killed, not to my knowledge, there is a line between and one has to quantify what they mean by "pretty much" as personally I wouldn't put any of those things I mentioned in line with the mention of wished death.

Yep. The only thing that will be missing, however, is eskimospy's outrage.

While idiocy is nonpartisan, the Democrats have cornered the market on this particular brand of over-the-top, lunatic-fringe idiocy in recent years.

your logic is broken. the OP stated "I don't think it very important at all" followed by "It DOES however, show that there are loons on both sides"

why would he post it if he didn't think it was important? because he is a FAR right wing loon.

I posted it to point out that the crazies are on both sides of the isle. Now please, stop trolling.

^^^^^ Joe the poster. :roll:
