Remember the Che poster in the HQ of Obama in Houston or wherever it was?

Obama supports Che and communists, as do his supporters.

Oh, wait, those were isolated offices, no endorsement was made by the real campaign. So yeah, while that shows that some nuts support Obama, you cannot generalize unless you can show that a significant number of campaign offices shared that choice in art.

Yes you did. You forgot to answer the question. When were Tea Party people beat up by Dems?

And those pictures weren't from the 2008 campaign. Stay focused here. I know you can do it.

A money influx from a private entity, which the FED is, is not the same as plunging all tax payers into the fire that the Dems and Obama has done.

You're wrong. The original $700 bn bailout was taxpayer money. It came from the Treasury. Get your facts straight.

But you supported it then. Didn't you. See the hipocracy in work. I knew I would catch some one. mookiemookie...its you.

Guy was apparently a union guy.

Quick google.

tater · 10-27-10, 05:10 PM

The actual bailouts are arguable in both directions. I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt given the derivative problems, etc.

The "stimulus" OTOH, was pure political payback. Nothing more. It was inexcusable.

And I know you're not as rude as you're pretending to be. Have you already forgotten the SEIU St Louis incident, or does beating up a conservative for daring to hand out Gadsden flags not count?

I forgot about that one. Guess with that and the St Louis incident and the Tampa incident makes it a bonafide trend doesn't it?

If I were the type to generalize based on anecdote, then yeah. I don't apply the gimpy/mookie standard, though. I think violence has been isolated enough that it's on par with the background of violence (no data, just a gut feeling).

People seem to forget that if X% of the population at large are *******s, then X% of any given group are also likely to be *******s.

A better example of systemic violence or vandalism (a friend of mine describes vandalism as "a hate crime against civilization") might be the G-7 protests. Any time there is some global economic meeting, the nuts come out of the woodwork to protest "globalization" and light stuff on fire, break windows, etc. It virtually always happens.

For the record I agree with that feeling as well.

It's certainly not as bad as it could be; nobody has been CS'd, blasted with water cannons, or shot.

Anyway, just heard on the news that Mr. Profitt was dropped as a campaign volunteer.

isn't a "gut feeling" anecdote?

I guess it's okay when you do it, because it fits your agenda which is obviously right, and everything else is anecdote.

oh and by the way...anything said about such large issues as the tea party, or democrats or republicans can be either "too general" or two specific. Unless I sit down and chronicle an account of all the silly political signs, or violence since 2001, you can just say "ohh well thats only a couple signs its generalizing" But if i say on the other hand: "here's two signs that prove my point" you would say "oh well thats too specific".

Ohh! can i play too?...i can pretend to be Descartes and challenge everything until i get to something that cannot be denied as untruth or anecdote!
