So you're not only okay with having a thread titled RightWingNutZ, but you actively want to post to it.
Uh huh. So much for lowering the rancor here.
I guess its only fair then if a few new threads are created devoted to highlighting LeftWingNutZ.
After all, that would be the fair and balanced thing to do.
Maybe I'll address that oversight after I get back from another fine evening of live music. Have fun with your hatred folks.
Why not just start the "I Hate Everyone Who Isn't Me" thread?

As for stringing Republicans up from the lamp posts...well, the government could toss them in jail, throw away the key, and tell anyone inquiring about them to fuck off, because after all they might possibly theoretically develop into a threat some day. Of course, some smarmy lawyer from the American Communist Losers' Union could use the dratted writ of Habeas Corpus to spring them (the ACLU has taken the case of Republicans from time to time, BTW). Oh, that damned Habeas Corpus!! Of all the stupidity - making the government give good reasons for jailing people!

And you're *not* posting to it? Actually, I posted here because I happened to have a photo of Alan Keyes, which I took with my own little hands. And Keyes was being discussed. And I genuinely am curious about the Tea Parties. I have questions, but I sure as hell am not going to ask them here. Someone at RP (I'm sorry I can't remember who, as I don't have time to file every little post away for future use) asked if we couldn't just have one thread entitled "Political Extremists." I'd be okay with that. As for the "hatred" bit, just cut it out. Apparently what some see as hatred, others see as normal discourse, depending on the point of view. It'd be wonderful if there could be fewer threads inflammatory thread titles, but I guess that's not going to happen. I'd rather see "Fox Spews" as "Fox News: Tactics" or something a little less reactionary, just as I'd rather see a thread called "Political Extremists" than "RightWingNutz" or "The Moonbat Times" or what have you. Whatever. Enjoy your live music.

Albert Einstein once said "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results".
The RightWing nuts are the epitome of this. Their answer is STILL "Cut taxes on the rich and corporations and deregulate big business".
They all need to be taken away in straight jackets.

And you also disagree with the statement that the military isn't with the extreme right wing haters, therefore aren't likely to participate in a coup. Okay. All right, everyone seems to agree that Keyes is a nutjob. OTOH, IMO these are sort of nutjob times. You know what it all kind of reminds me of? Descriptions of France right before World War II. As for a coup attempt, I still think there's some outside chance of an abortive attempt, even if it's nothing more than the effort mounted by the Japanese novelist Yukio Mishima , who exhorted an audience of cadets to join in a coup and they responded by chanting "asshole! asshole! asshole!". Obama does have some Reaganesque qualities - after all, Reagan was the Great Communicator, and his detractors regarded him as an empty suit. It also amuses me when I read all the complaints about the press fawning over Obama - you'd think Obama was made of Teflon or something.

That's the problem with American politics ... you allow your loons, thieves, crooks and liars to keep their elected post more often than not. Up here, we usually blast them out of their seat with shame and public condemnation. No, we know Keyes is a loon. Madman said it sounded like Keyes was advocating a coup.

There's a good reason the right looks upon many O-voters as self-delusional. That post would be such an example.
edit: BTW, in case its not especially obvious to y'all on whatever side of the political fence you reside on: Keyes is an effing LOON. That should have been ovious and clear to y'all during the primaries.
That diagnosis could be applied to a far larger percentage of the human race than those who voted for O.
