Let's rally against democracy

[Off_White]

Sorry Mr. K, it's not demonizing. I've actually heard folks on the right say they "want to fuck up the ragheads." On the other hand, I've also heard people on the left say "try the amethyst, purple is a very high vibration."

conveniently applying a few empirical anecdotes to broadbrush stroke 'the right' with such a disgusting comment is demonization

[chucK]

My comment was a direct like-minded response to JayB's implied scorn of the Left (broadbrush?) based on pulled-from-his-ass reports of stereotypical extreme members of the left.

 

Perhaps his wasn't "demon"-izing because he didn't imply the extreme lefties were evil, just stupid?

 

But for the Right, "Demon"ing will have to do, 'cause you gotta admit, that's the stereotypical rap on them. They're mean, heartless, and they eat babies.

funny I thought the lefties loved to eat babies... err embryos.

Some also tend to overuse the term "strawman" in rebuttals as well...

 

Seriously dude - pretending these people don't exist and don't constitute a significant percentage of the population in attendance at events like the recent innaugural protests, or the WTO protests of yore is every bit as ludicrous as someone on the right pretending that the John Birchers, Creationists, Gun-Nuts, Survivalists, and the UN-Led-Black-Helicopter-One-World-Government-Lookout crew, and or anyone who has ever intentionally purchased any part of the "Left Behind" series by LaHaye and Co are merely a figment of the Left's imagination. Politics makes for strange bedfellows - how about owning up to yours?

or when they witness industrialists feasting on babies.

 

and which industrialists would that be??

 

"I have been assured by a very knowing Industrialist of my acquaintance, that a young healthy child well nursed is at a year old a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee or a ragout."

How many 'yahoos' here do you think will actually catch your reference to "A Modest Proposal"??

As an environmentalist I feel that at the root of the environmental and species degradation problem is overpopulation. We not only need to reduce the population by promoting abortion, but by executing the retarded and feeble minded. And therefore, I think we should start with you.

[KaskadskyjKozak]

That's been tried before, Adolf. And lest one still question which side of this debate is truly *evil*...

I stopped by the protest. There were a handful of goof-balls there, but most of the folks I saw were just normal looking folks, young and old, just wanting to show thier disapproval of Bush's policies. Why does free speech seem to freak out some folks? Isn't it a sign that there is still some remnant of democratic values?

Who's debating? I'm just slinging mindless insults, dumbass.

Duh... that's so fucking obvious it's pathetic.

[chucK]

I don't think I rebutted the existence of extreme lefties protesting did I? In any case, I will acquiesce to your request, and agree that many lefty protesters' ideas/slogans seem a bit farfetched/silly. Hell, I even think the tried and true "No Blood for Oil" deal is a oversimplistic.

 

However, my point is, is that I'll happily suffer through the "No Blood for Oil" silliness because 1) it gets the job done, and 2) it's far preferable to "kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out"

 

I heard one report of a guy visible at the inaugural address (lefty protester probably) standing on a box with a black hood on his head with his arms outstretched. Now that's ART!!!

Even responding to something so intentionally obvious is what's really pathetic.

Did you forget your haldol today?
