*update*vandalized again Is it just my poor observation or do most political oriented vandalisms attack the Republicans?

Hey NeoPTLD, maybe you're simply taking your isolated incident out of context and applying it to the world at-large? Is it possible you share your dorm with a bunch of asshats?

My roommate and I have other stuff on our door too. Nothing but the Bush sticker gets vandalized. If they want to be an ass, it would make sense for them to destroy things on the door by random.

Bush and W stickers I have had to replace: 3
Other stuff that needed replacement: 0

Making a political statement: Priceless. Well, based on your reaction here, perhaps the culprits knew it would get to you. Push your buttons and all that. They're probably plotting their next attack as we speak ... ;)

IMO:

liberals tend to demonstrate their ideas more openly than conservatives. I don't know how i should put this but it seems to me that there are more extremist liberals in this country than extremist conservatives (except the bible belt)

that being said, i think one of the liberal ideal is violent overthrown of authorities (something like that, you should know what i mean). but then i saw a gray davis sign ripped off on the street once. well, maybe people just hated him too much :p

...allowed to make civil disturbance to make their point, but vandalism against their posters and arrests of protesters are considered denial of 1st amendment right and human rights?

How can you compare the 'vandalism' of your sticker to arresting protesters?

The government isn't coming in and telling you can't put up your 'W' or other Republicrat expressions. Only when you are arrested for being pro-Bush, can you seriously compare the two.

...and yes, I agree with the vandalism part. If caught, they should be prosecuted as such. Vandalism and protesting are most often vastly different.


No, my point was their double standard and hypocrisy is strong.

They're entitled to express their view by unlawful means(obstruction of traffic)
...they're ENTITLED too?
The opposing party isn't entitled to express their view lawfully(posting things within their private domain)
How are they NOT entitled to express their view?
They're entitield to defacing the opposing party's view by an unlawful mean(vandalism)

How are they ENTITLED?

Peacefully posting what I want on my door to them isn't my right according to them as they feel the need to deface it. Shouting down the opposing view by illegal means is their right. In protest, creating a civil disturbance is their right.

Just because they vandalize does not mean they don't think you have the right post whatever you want. Most likely, its just your basic moron, who doesn't like what they see, obviously ignorant of what they can and cannot do freely. Like I said earlier, if caught or proven, ANYONE who vandalizes should be dealt with. But saying that because they aren't prosecuted means that it is okay is pretty PATHETIC on your part.

Liberals vandalize property. Conservatives vandalize people. :)

Liberals tell you what you want to hear, Conservatives tell you what you need to hear, but with interesting little twists.

Well-said and I concur with you...finally :)

Who said anyone who writes "fvck bush" in the bathroom is a liberal? Thats news to me. The majority of the world must be liberal then, since Bush is the most unpopular American president in history.

Also remember who bombed the Oklahama building? Or murdered abortion doctors, and bombed Abortion clinics? Who as Whistling mention assassinated JFK, Martin Luther King, RFK? Far right wing crazies.

Do you have something to support that claim that bush is the most unpopular president or are you doing the liberal thing of pulling sh1t out of your ass.

1.) No
2.) Yes

Unabomber? [...]

You're right...leftist extremists are fairy tales.
Where on earth do you get the absolutely ludicrous idea that the Unabomber can even be considered to be anywhere near liberal? Was it you who made this blatantly false claim before, too?

I didn't say liberal, I said leftist extremist. My point was that whitling uses "conservative" as the example of extremist of the "right wing" viewpoint. And then said 'but liberals don't shoot anyone, conservatives do". And yet, every example he provided was of extremists, and he thought his "viewpoint" had no extremists.

So in otherwords conservative = extremist murderers
Liberal = peacelovers. Only conservatives have extremists. Get it?
