You think that speech gets better if we listen to all of it? Joel Send a noteboard - 15/03/2011 10:53:55 PM
did you notice there was an editing break between those statements?

I did; did YOU notice that unless the intervening words were "I don't believe... " they don't change the comments meaning at all?

Because she's on "your" side?

There was a Republican last year, from GA, IIRC, who WAS badly quoted out of context (I forget the specifics, but it was basically the equivalent of cutting off the "I don't support... " part of his statement; pretty egregious) and I didn't hesitate to condemn that. 'Cos, y'see, when you're more concerned about being on the "right" side in the sense of what's decent than in the sense of political affiliation, that's what you have to do. The councilwomans comments are nothing like that and we both know it so it's deeply disappointing that you keep indulging the conceit that they are. Maybe you're not better than that, but I certainly hope you are, and you most certainly should be. People who want the Marines going after Americas citizens because of their religion should have no authority over America, her Marines or her citizens.

actually it wasnt at an Islamic Center, It was a city center rented out by muslims for the night Aisha - 13/03/2011 08:29:10 AM 991 Views
since you are OK with judging all Tea Part memebers by the actions of a few random thoughts - 13/03/2011 01:03:42 PM 842 Views
The problem with that is that Muslims aren't electing terrorists to city councils or Congress. Joel - 13/03/2011 08:13:38 PM 785 Views
and you believe the Tea Party is electing terrorist to office? random thoughts - 14/03/2011 03:17:49 PM 827 Views
"I know quite a few Marines who will be very happy to help these terrorists to paradise". Joel - 14/03/2011 07:17:02 PM 833 Views
which terrorist was she talking about? You don't even have context just a propaganda video random thoughts - 14/03/2011 09:13:22 PM 891 Views
That she directed it toward the whole event rather than specific people is the whole problem. Joel - 14/03/2011 09:53:29 PM 750 Views
really? you have unedited video of her doing that? random thoughts - 14/03/2011 11:01:57 PM 903 Views
She said, "what's going on over there is PURE UNADULTERATED evil". Joel - 15/03/2011 12:21:16 AM 833 Views
you sure seem to know alot about what she meant from just hearing two clips out of context random thoughts - 15/03/2011 02:47:44 PM 749 Views
No, I'm just not being obtuse about her clear meaning because she's on "my side". Joel - 15/03/2011 08:39:21 PM 845 Views
You could see where she was pointing? All I saw were flags random thoughts - 15/03/2011 08:45:02 PM 832 Views
Ooooh, she was pointing out her fellow flag waving REPUBLICANS are terrorists. Joel - 15/03/2011 09:01:13 PM 892 Views
and you know her well enough to know what she is saying random thoughts - 15/03/2011 09:37:16 PM 1031 Views
I know ENGLISH well enough to know what she's saying; you're the only who thinks WHO said it matters Joel - 15/03/2011 10:54:04 PM 1005 Views

A very small number of people who happen to include elected leaders. Joel - 13/03/2011 08:42:37 PM 921 Views
How many elected officals were there shouting at people as they entered the event? random thoughts - 14/03/2011 04:22:34 PM 848 Views
Three, by my count. Joel - 14/03/2011 06:02:06 PM 830 Views
yes but since you are just making it that doesn't really count random thoughts - 14/03/2011 06:30:24 PM 866 Views
Folks on "my side" don't suggest US Marines murder people on yours; why does who tallies matter? Joel - 14/03/2011 07:25:12 PM 837 Views
no folk on your side try to firebomb political conventions and then claim they are vicitims random thoughts - 14/03/2011 09:02:27 PM 697 Views
I'm aware of no such case, let alone people being elected to Congress for doing it. Joel - 14/03/2011 10:19:53 PM 937 Views
if you have evidience he supported verbal assults you should post it random thoughts - 14/03/2011 11:03:19 PM 813 Views
He MADE verbal assaults, and video of it was posted at the start of the thread. Joel - 15/03/2011 12:23:12 AM 814 Views
why is it hard to grasp the "destrtoying America" is a common phrase used by boht sides random thoughts - 15/03/2011 02:53:29 PM 923 Views
Yeah, but people shouldn't be paying their elected officials to (literally) subject them to it. Joel - 15/03/2011 08:39:05 PM 843 Views
oh and here is the film making them victims being celibrated by Variety random thoughts - 14/03/2011 11:10:00 PM 951 Views
Funny how they got ARRESTED instead of elected to public office. Joel - 15/03/2011 12:25:17 AM 821 Views
and now the left is trying to tuen them into martyrs, which was my point. What was yours? random thoughts - 15/03/2011 02:57:04 PM 818 Views
Doesn't seem like "the left" is trying to turn them into martyrs, let alone electing them to office. Joel - 15/03/2011 08:39:12 PM 1122 Views
the little piece of propeganda is likely to win SXSW film festival random thoughts - 15/03/2011 09:31:22 PM 799 Views
Which proves many people find sensationalized violence entertaining, and that Austinites are idiots. Joel - 15/03/2011 10:52:19 PM 960 Views
More than anything it seems like America is importing the "no good guys here" phenomenon. Joel - 13/03/2011 08:41:07 PM 808 Views
Re: ignorance and hate in orange county, california alliandrina - 13/03/2011 10:05:40 PM 812 Views

do you believe there is single group the Tea Party? random thoughts - 14/03/2011 09:03:10 PM 818 Views
I believe a majority elected public officials encouraging violence against their own constituents. Joel - 14/03/2011 10:12:59 PM 894 Views
I thought you needed proof before accussing someone of a crime random thoughts - 14/03/2011 11:04:05 PM 909 Views
Whether or not this reaches the level of criminality is a good question. Joel - 15/03/2011 12:36:40 AM 1060 Views
yes but first you will have to prove she in inciting violience random thoughts - 15/03/2011 07:55:47 PM 871 Views
She wants the Marines to assist US citizens to paradise; I think it's proven. Joel - 15/03/2011 08:39:29 PM 787 Views
no Joel isn't proven and if you think it is you need to look up what the proof means random thoughts - 15/03/2011 09:36:32 PM 782 Views
"Those terrorists" was a blanket statement directed at the people attending the fundraiser. Joel - 15/03/2011 10:52:51 PM 989 Views
prove it random thoughts - 16/03/2011 01:12:55 AM 964 Views
So we're back to "prove what you've already proven multiple times" again; fine, I'm done then. Joel - 16/03/2011 02:16:35 AM 826 Views
Is it acceptable.... Jeordam - 14/03/2011 03:52:14 PM 810 Views
Elected officials shouldn't suggest the US Marines murder US citizens. Joel - 14/03/2011 07:39:42 PM 850 Views
I agree but do have an example of that happening or are you just twisiting what was said there? random thoughts - 14/03/2011 09:12:10 PM 852 Views
Dude, I QUOTED an example in my above response to you. Joel - 14/03/2011 10:11:02 PM 822 Views
You have one line tyaken out of context and even then you are spinning it random thoughts - 14/03/2011 11:04:38 PM 700 Views
No, just quoting it. Joel - 15/03/2011 12:42:31 AM 788 Views
so you are just going to ignore the edit and belive what you want to believe random thoughts - 15/03/2011 02:58:36 PM 794 Views

Simmer down Jeordam - 14/03/2011 09:50:05 PM 846 Views
Well, if you aren't trying to equate them even the dubious "two wrongs make a right" defense fails. Joel - 14/03/2011 10:01:57 PM 837 Views
Don't be foolish... Jeordam - 14/03/2011 10:13:44 PM 787 Views
Re: Don't be foolish... Joel - 14/03/2011 10:38:18 PM 786 Views
