Just one last one for the road because it's too much fun to expose your continual lies. In Spain, the popular front, a coalition of the left and republicans, was overwhelmingly elected by popular support in 1936. The fascists militias became very active after that and the cycle of violence led to a fascist regime. btw, Chavez has been in power for 12 years and was also repeatedly overwhelmingly supported by Venezuelans over that period. Just compare to how Bush became president. Thug.

we'll also note the usual lack of substantial response to any of the points I made. Debating with right wing thugs like you is a huge fucking waste of time.
-
our bizarre utopian shenanigans like a secular republic. Where do they find neanderthals like you, jackass?
-
I mean how deluded does one have to be a right wing goon? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Spanish_Republic but do watch out because the commies are going to get ya!

This post is a perfect example of the Manichean small mind of the far right wing thug. There were communists indeed but there were also just republicans, i.e. people against the dictatorship of monarchy and church in Spain (gee, what a new concept for a so-called "Republican"). Thousands of catholics and clergy were summarily killed, but so were 10's of thousands of "republicans", most of whom were dumped in mass graves. It was a civil war followed by a 40 year long bloody military dictatorship.

for all the smearing of their opponents that right wing goons do, they are the supporters of dictatorships, death squads and torture. Fairweather managed to explicitly support the military grab in Honduras just over a year ago (the only putsch of recent time in the western hemisphere) after which hundreds of innocents died during the repression of protests against return to oligarchic rule.

1930's republican spain? where the fuck do yo come up with such drivel? 1930's republican Spain was a state during civil war.

I am a commie for entrepreneurship and private property. Fuckwit. And stop lying, goon, I haven't defended Chavez at every turn. I have defended him against your pathological lying. Can you tell the difference?
-
Either you are dense or you are trolling. Why should I have to answer smears meant to portray me as a "commie" considering the history of such smears in American politics? Give me one good reason why I should take the bait laid by the far right wing goon who started this thread? Are you a far right wing goon too? I am genuinely interested, please answer the question. btw, I have already said several times what I thought of Chavez or ideologies in general, and what my preferred model would be. If you are genuinely interested in my perspective on Chavez there are likely better threads for it.

Enjoy dancing to this one: [video:youtube]NugE0AnIHT8

they are certainly not paying their fair share. Most corporations don't pay taxes and most wealthy people pay a much smaller fraction of their revenues in taxes than the middle class does. Get your head out your ass, Billcoe.
-
how else would you characterize a right wing neanderthal who uses red-baiting to try smearing his opponents? don't trust everything you read in the wikileaks releases: ¡Viva WikiLeaks! Sicko Was Not Banned in Cuba
-
Has Jay been cherry-picking again? Raising taxes on the richest one percent appears to increase tax revenues without lowering economic growth.

taxing isn't limiting. Taxing is correcting for the distortion due to costs externalized by corporations, like a stable educated workforce and a sustainable environment. Also, economic growth rates were historically higher when taxation rates were a lot higher. As I said, my comments are about people who watch commercial TV because they have little other choice.
-
So is it free--or taxed? You have got to be the dumbest knife in this website's drawer. Seriously. since when is advertising free, retard?
-
we'll see how long they stay ahead of the curve ... you must be thinking about the TV going on in your head continuously.
-
You need more than basic cable to have more than a very small no commercial offering and you don't have much to talk about to bubba at work, and there is very little for kids. I didn't say I wanted to limit that form of speech, I said I wanted to tax it to pay for diverse non-commercial media.
-
commercials make me insane - i see maybe 3 a year, and i certainly watch plenty of shit - it's not that hard to filter out, ya know? You can get away from commercials if you can pay, but I doubt many kids watch that kind of programming.

Unequal Protection: The Rise of Corporate Dominance and the Theft of Human Rights
-
clearly not enough or we'd also have commercial free media.
-
Turn Little Johnny's fucking PC/TV off? LOL and Little Johnny will spend all of his spare time at the neighbors? Don't ban advertising. Tax it to fund commercial free media.
-
The demagogue latches onto the provocative example I gave because he wants to dismiss the much more obvious denial of civil rights during the buying of elections, polluting of our environment, etc .. all done under the legal fiction of corporate personhood.
-
You are fully delusional if you think nobody has excellent reasons to keep confronting you with your total support of Bush's disastrous policies that brought us where we are today.
