This is what is meant by liberal hypocrisy. It reeks of the same sort of pathology Trish laid on us regarding political rhetoric and political speech. Whereas she safely condemns all “inflammatory speech” generically , she refuses to condemn specific, obvious examples, or provides us with an intellectual lecture about nuances and the subtle difference between Obama’s hypothetical speech verses Palin’s metaphorical . And then incredulously asks where are the conservatives who should be condemning this fiery rhetoric !!!!!! This is precisely the liberal mind set. Lecture us from lofty positions with condemnation, about how crude and dangerous we are, while not understanding the nuances of liberal hate speech. It’s the exact same thing the NAACP does, the National Organization for Women, and Big Labor. I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but I’m starting to feel all these people attended the same university lectures together because they all process the identical orthodoxy.
Recall how many times the NAACP ran to the cameras on CNN and MSNBC and the 3 major networks to peddle phony studies ( with no hard data) about how racist the tea parties were. Racist, Racist, Racist…we heard it at nausea…( and Trish is perplexed as to our anger) Yet here we have obviously blatant examples and their collective outrage mysteriously seems to have waned since the election !!!!!!!!!! To borrow a phrase from Trish...."Any sane person" knows precisely why the NAACP won't call this one. It's because Justice Thomas although as black as any man I know, is a conservative, and the protestors are liberal, so it doesn't take a Political Science major to figure out the play here . .......so the obviously conclusion is it's not about race, but rather ideology...but that's not the charter or history of the NAACP.
The larger point that in my opinion Trish misses ( perhaps intentionally) is that she may be blessed with the academic background to dissect the nuances in Progressive rhetoric, and tell us it’s really not harmful because it’s hypothetical but the average American ( right and left) does not. Could Obama’s reference to guns and knives have been taken out of context by a potential unhinged individual? Absolutely. Therefore ALL potentially dangerous political speech must be condemned, or none of it...or one runs the risk of finding themselves in the position she along with the NY Times and NAACP finds themselves… ….HYPOCRACY.

Re: Peace loving Progressives
I'm sorry, but I've read hippiefried's posts, and though I often agree with him, I rarely find them to be derivative of mine. Take this thread for example. Hippiefried is explaining that you haven't established any facts that warrant a lengthy response. That's pretty much the whole story. My responses on the other hand have been quite lengthy. So how is that parroting? Actually I think there's something else going on here.
Every time I read one of your posts, it's trish this and trish that. Even in your response to other people you want my attention. Try to pay some attention to what's being written and less to who writes it.

Re: Peace loving Progressives
There you go lying again. Name calling is all you do. It's the only way to argue the lie that you start these threads with. As for political views: You don't know mine & I don't care about yours. You know absolutely nothing about me. Everything you think you know is just somebody elses opinion of what I should be thinking, based on some convoluted associative illogic. Like I said: No original thought. If you ever find a there there, let me know. In the meantime. I'm perfectly happy laughing at your gullibility.

Re: Peace loving Progressives
Excuse me, I started this thread and I don't believe it began with a lie. I think it was a factual video describing the threads main topic, (how ever sarcastic it was).
People who live in glass houses, Hippi.. you have been challenged on several topics to back up your verbal accusations with some facts and they never seem to appear. Seems to me OnMy regularly backs up his statements with pics, links or videos.

Re: Peace loving Progressives
Pics, links and videos aren't always the evidence they're cracked up to be. First of all, you guys are cherry picking. You aren't going out and picking random links to violent language, are you now? Now lets take the video that begins this thread. The questioner is clearly baiting these people and yes they're being suckers by eventually fall into step, but not until after several cuts and a lot of coaxing. We never see the beginning of the interviews and we never see the time code so we don't know how long the cuts are. Consequently we don't know how long it took the Breitbartesque reporter to coax the violent language out of these people. I do indeed condemn their language, but I also condemn the reporter for giving them a small megaphone and then all but squeezing that language from his subjects. So is the clip a lie? No one is depicted as saying something they didn't say. Yet, Christians will tell you that there's such a thing as a lie of omission. That's the lie the video tells. You think that was a factual video? LMAO Whaddya think we should to do those demonstrators then? Come on, give me a real answer. What should we do? What do they deserve? Come on. You can answer. What should we do to 'em? What should we do after that? Then what? That's not all is it? What else do we do to 'em? Huh? What else?

Re: Peace loving Progressives
Wow...that's 3 sentences....
You're right, I do name call....but is an insult to be called what you are? Liberal and progressive??? . Here's what I do know about you....you take drive by swipes, like the guy who drives by you in the car and yells insults knowing full well he'll be safely away by the time you realize what's happened..."LIAR, GULLIABLE" TEA BAGGER" but you rarely state what your position is and why. There's no crime in that , but it's superficial and simplistic..therfore you warrant scorn, IMHO...Instead of laughing at me , why don't you try your literary skills and tell us what you think and why you think it. Look...I know you'd prefer to be yanking your crank to the pics on the general discussion board, but bring some game here.

Re: Peace loving Progressives
That's pretty funny that you brought up Alan West.
Remember his totally reasonable takeway from The Untouchables? "If they put one of yours in the hospital, you put two of theirs in the morgue."
Remember his measured response to the Obama Administration's (nonexistent) gun control policy? "You must be well-informed and well-armed because this government that we have now is a tyrannical government." (West was, incidentally, totally wrong about the Nazi's banning of private gun ownership.)
Remember when the women who was his chief of staff for about five seconds said, "If you commit a crime while you're here, we should hang you and send your body back to where you came from, and your family should pay for it."
Good times.

Re: Peace loving Progressives
Also kind of inconvenient for your argument that you keep railing against the NYT when conservative darling Ann Coulter said, “My only regret with Tim McVeigh is that he did not go to the New York Times building.”
Apparently, she agrees with you!

Can't leave out peace-loving Glenn Beck, who's program is watched by 3 million kind-hearted critical thinkers:
“Hang on, let me just tell you what I’m thinking. I’m thinking about killing Michael Moore, and I’m wondering if I could kill him myself, or if I would need to hire somebody to do it. No, I think I could.”

Re: Peace loving Progressives
Tough to beat Michael Savage for cool, collected rhetoric: “I say round liberals up and hang em’ high. When I hear someone’s in the civil rights business, I oil up my AR-25.”
Although, in fairness, the AR-25 is an Army manual, not an assault rifle, so perhaps he's wanting to just bore liberals to death.
