I'm a Conservative. (At least by Canadian standards. Hate to break it to you, but conservative Canadian reads pretty much like pinko in the red states

So the religious right has Pat Robertson and the democrats have Howard Dean. Right, because Pat is advocating a policy of assassination and plunder and Dean is advocating that we shouldn't be in Iraq on false pretense. If you call that a wash, I'd hate to see your laundry.

don't you mean a loud yell? Yeah, that comes close to calling for the US to murder someone. This is exactly what I said with Tal, and you guys keep proving it. Those who are critics of the right, generally focus on actual issues and criticize that... laugh at that. Those who are apologists focus on mere mannerisms and wording of your opponents to the exclusion of their message. That's ad hominem. holmes "...what a fool believes he sees, no wise man has the power to reason away.."(D. Bros)

Well how about this -- Karl testified under oath before the investigating committee that he was not the source of the leak. So he LIED UNDER OATH...
Do you have any proof? See, that's the difference. Karl has testified under oath, so if he lied, he will be indicted. Clinton was FOUND GUILTY and lost his law liscence.

I didn't say anything about that. The issue was lying under oath. Try and keep up. you try to keep up. MY point was the seriousness of the issue. i couldn't care less about the personal matters of my politicians. but the actual political concers, stuff that has to do with national security etc, i DO care about. one is gravely more important than the other.

quote: Well maybe he's not really a preacher, then. He does use the veneer of being a preacher to get conservative Christians to listen to him and trust hiom, though.
quote: Since when did that ever stop any political hack from saying stuff like that? Ann Coulter said something similar years ago and nobody on the right batted an eye because she said it about Muslims:
quote: Of course, he doesn't think that such statements are absurd.
quote: He has advocated violence on numerous occasions, including making comments saying that government buildings aught to be blown up with nuclear bombs. When is the Right going to stand up to this guy and kick his wacko, racist, sexist ass to the curb?
quote: Please quote some similar extreme statements from someone on the left (which is really the old middle) who has a similar position of political influence and power in the country as Robertson.
quote: But, given the war in Iraq, and given the oil that Argentina has, why wouldn't the idea of a US invasion give Chavez a bit of pause?

quote: I just saw on the news last night a clip of Robertson blaming the national media for "misinterpreting" and "taking out of context" his statements about "taking out" Chavez and that he didn't really mean that we should actually assasinate him. Then MSNBC rolled the video of Pat saying something like, "Yeah, I think we should assasinate him". Big. Fat. Liar.

Tal writes: Who fucking cares? This seems like more typical right-wing "let's quickly change the subject and/or blame someone else" bullshit. Whether or not some radical Muslim Cleric retracts or apologizes or corrects or otherwise attempts to change what they have said has no bearing whatsoever on what Pat Robertson said. Is there some sort of mysteries connection between nut-job religious people such that they all somehow are tied together at the tongue? Before I answer, tell me where any Mulsim Radical Cleric has ever retracted, corrected, or otherwise attempted to change what they said about killing people. All I said was that Pat Roberston retracting what he said by lying about what he said is not really a retraction (and remember, I wrote that before his latest apology). And instead of addressing that issue you bring up a completely unrelated topic to somehow make Pat Robertson look better ("golly gee, he apologized") or some other such pathetic bullshit. You just can't say: "you know what FliesOnly, you're right". No, you've got to fire up the ole the right-wing bullshit spin machine. God, I despise this kind of shit. I leave this site for the day, come back the next morning and find that people on the right are bringing up Howard Dean, or that the Right is better than the Left, or that it's all ok cuz man is a sinner. WTF...Robertson has lost it...admit it...get over it, and stop shifting the conversation about how the Right is right.

quote: You mean, kind of like the publically-held corporation in which the workers bust their humps so the idle who own the stocks can gain? What would you say about a country's economy where millions of children go without enough food or any healthcare, yet around 90% of the wealth is controlled by only 2% of the people?

quote: Come on, mok, you know that's not true. Fox News has honed the fine art of "thowing gas on the fire", what with O'Reilly yelling at his guests and calling them all sorts of names, and calling people in the news "stupid", "idiotic", and worse. They don't attack one of their own because he's, well, one of their own. He's part of the team, and you never publically criticize part of the team.
