In the age of Gabby Giffords, it is not a joke to say that a member of Congress ought to get murdered.

Funny, I didn't know there was a distinction between a member of congress being murdered and a regular human being being murdered.... I'd think that murdering anybody wouldn't be a joke.... but ok, murdering a member of congress is much worse apparently. Guess he avoided the fact that Obama has actually had real assassination plans/attempts on his life and mentioned nothing about that.

And I'm frankly fed up with the one-sided bias, OK? Let me give you two examples. Vice president of the United States goes to a black audience and says, 'If the Republicans win, you will be in chains.' How can Biden remain as vice president? Where's the outrage over overt, deliberate racism? We talk about people saying things, they ought to get off tickets. How come Biden shouldn't get off the ticket?

Well for starters, he wasn't being racist against "blacks" ..... he was taking a jab at Republicans for being racists, which isn't the same thing.

Second example: The Democratic Party plank on abortion is the most extreme plank in the United States. The president of the United States voted three times to protect the right of doctors to kill babies who came out of an abortion still alive. That plank says tax-paid abortion at any moment, meaning partial-birth abortion. That's a 20 percent issue. The vast majority of women do not believe that taxpayers should pay to abort a child in the eighth or ninth month. Now why isn't it shocking that the Democrats on the social issue of abortion have taken the most extreme position in this country, and they couldn't defend that position for a day if it was made clear and vivid, as vivid as all the effort is made to paint Republicans.

Well since the Republicans like to take the other extreme in this debate, what's the big deal? It's not like the Republicans have ever bothered to meet halfway in this subject.

The vast majority of women? What source is he basing this off of?

Second, if he knew anything about the dictionary, laws, basic human rights and all that, he'd know that "Killing Babies" is an inaccurate term used as an emotional argument.

I'm not for late term abortions either (except for extreme medical situations where the mother's life is at risk) but what would he suggest be done in those situations where it is needed to be done, and by some rare chance the fetus somehow survives the initial abortion? Shall the "Taxpayers" have to foot the bill to keep that fetus alive somehow until it finally dies, further inducing more harm than just putting them out of their misery?

Newt's an idiot.... if the Democrats are deemed as Extremists, than the Republicans must be Satan Incarnate with their views. If they had their way, there'd be no abortions, even if it meant the death of the host mother, there wouldn't be gay marriage but rather gays would probably end up in some Christian clinic group to attempt to brainwash them straight, minorities would be further oppressed and forced to work the crap jobs white rich folk can't be bothered to do, and the US would not only be attacking Iran right now, but Syria and any other nation they can think of.... which they'd send most of those minorities off to die in so they can trim down their population some more.

Extreme enough for ya?

Your exposure to speakers must be pretty limited if Newt's the best you've heard, even assuming you specifically mean Speaker of the House, not people in general who make speeches. But I think what you're really saying is that your beliefs are just as mediaeval as the nonsense we've been hearing from Republicans lately about abortion and female reproductive rights.

Typical Republican position, the abortion ship has sailed and they are still howling
about it. America has soldiers fighting in Afghanistan fighting for the rights of women
and low and behold, they want to deny women their rights in America itself.
Hey do I always agree with abortion? Doesn't matter, what matters is her decision
Throughout history its been proven, you cannot legislate the social agenda and you can't
enforce laws that are not acceptable to the people in a democracy.
There will always be smoking in fact it will be on the rise within a decade
There will always be drinking, that ship sailed too, people will drink regardless.
There will always be cheating husbands and wives whether we like it or not.
and yes there will be abortion legal or other wise.
In fact no matter how many time the special interests right or left impose their will on the
people, the people will find a way around it until they can restore the laws that have been
repealed.
The Christians must understand in the long term they are a drain on the fiscal conservative
message.

And I'm frankly fed up with the one-sided bias...

Is there another kind of bias then the one I am aware of? We have a shining light amongst the darkness.

Let me paraphrase the link:

This strawman of the democrat platform on the issue of abortion is the most extreme position in the country.

Indeed. That's because it is a strawman.

I'm not sure what you mean. I don't subscribe to threads, so I don't get notifications when someone posts in one I've posted in, it's a big blank for everybody.

So if I place a person on ignore- their posts are blank- replies to the post are blank - is that correct- I do not know.
