BTW, I have never used or approved of any of the names that you accuse me of using. If I were like you, I would report this insulting and totally false accusation.

We have been through this before. You claimed you never said it. I produced the appropriate post by you and showed where you did indeed say it (that they indeed were 'nigg*r' and f*g'). And I challenged you to report me. I assume you didn't, or if you did, you didn't get anywhere.

Do you really want me to dig up that post again (where you say that they indeed are 'nigg*r' and f*g')? I could easily do it, it is in this very thread.

All Republicans, including those in the TEA PARTY (NOT teabaggers, that epithet is the sole property of homosexuals and their sympathizers, like you) condemned slurs IF they were ever hurled at these two overly sensitive Democrats.

Sorry YJ, but unless somebody uttered those slurs, there was no need to apologize for them. They did not ask for proof, the simply apologized. Because they did not doubt the veracity of the claims.

One does not apologize for something that didn't happen. They apologized, that is indirect evidence that it did happen.

I Googled for 'tea party 'f*g', it generated 194,000 hits. Unless you think that there is a gigantic conspiracy between the left, the right and even some teabaggers, this thing really happened, much as you may not like to admit it.

Re #202.

PLease, show me again, or more appropriately, for the first time. I repeat: I NEVER CALLED ANYONE either of those names you accuse me of.

And I did not report you, because only those who are weak in their arguments, weak in their convictions and are just plain stupid, do that.

I looked at the article. He was not arrested in response to the stray bullet. He was arrested for posting material on his website. The bullet is still regarded as stray bullet by the authorities. The arrest is totally unrelated to the stray bullet.

But by your thinking the action of this man should be indicative of all liberals.

The Liberals and Democrats HATE to have people out in the streets protesting against them. This Tea Party Movement is an anomaly to US Politics. It is unheard of until recently. Libs and Democrats are typically on the stage yapping to the conglomerate of liberal orgs. during protests. Now they find themselves on the other side of the yellow tape and they do not like it one bit.

There is no anomaly here, EagleSmack. It is the Republican Party base who is mad because they don’t have any power in Washington any more. For 12 years Republicans controlled Congress. The far right said ‘jump’ and the Congress jumped. For eight years the far right said ‘jump’ and Bush jumped.

Now if far right says jump, it does not produce any reaction in Washington, they don’t have any power any more. The are not used to being out of power. So they are mad, they are hungry for power. It is just the Republican base mad, angry for being out of power, it is no more than that. When Republicans get back into power (and they will it is a question of when, not if) Tea Party will disappear, they will be calling the shots again in Washington.

Seems to me I read the post too. Far be it for me to defend Jack ... but I won't watch a manipulative troll put his spin on what was actually said to score some irrelevant points and inflate more an already overblown ego....

To quote the preacher:

That is known in technical jargon as exaggeration. It is an accepted and effective way of getting one's point across.

lone wolf, it is NOT far from me to say thanks, when warranted.

Heaven knows, on the overwhelmingly liberal sea of this forum, I often feel like an island.

blabber

Conservatives organizing like this for public protests IS an anomaly no matter how long your blabbering posts are.

The Tea Party upsets liberals because public protesting is their MO. Liberals are the ones that are supposed to carry signs, not conservatives. It is unheard of and the libs and Democrats don't like it one bit.

And I did not report you, because only those who are weak in their arguments, weak in their convictions and are just plain stupid, do that.

"There were cries of 'nigg*r' aimed at Rep. Lewis, and cries of 'f*g' directed at Barney Franks, the openly gay member. There is reason to believe that at least some of them are racist and homophobic."

So WHAT??? Lewis is BLACK. Franks is a self-admitted HOMO. As I said earlier, invectives and adjectives are only a matter of degree. Neither of these two worthies can deny what they are and what they've been called. In fact, if they should wear it as a badge of honour.

Only the overly sensitive could make a montain out of this mole hill.

What the Tea Partiers said was absolutely no worse than the idiotic chants like "Bush lied, people died" or for that matter, calling honest Americans tea baggers.

Here is your post #64, YJ. I cannot do better than reproduce my post #118 here.

Note the red text. You are saying that they are what they have been called. They have been called ‘nigg*r’ and ‘f*g’. So you are saying that they are ‘nigg*r’ and ’f*g’.

Further, you are saying that they should wear it as a badge of honour. That means that Rep. Lewis should call himself a ‘nigg*r’.

And you have the nerve to claim that I am lying? If you want to report my post, report away. I am sure the mods will see my viewpoint.

There is no anomaly here. Conservatives have protested many times before, particularly when a Democrat is in office. Thus When Carter was in power, the religious right made plenty of protests. Pat Robertson (Christian Coalition), Jerry Falwell (Moral Majority), James Robison, Dr. Dobson (Focus on the Family), Jim Bakker (Heritage USA) organized the right wing extremists into a protest movement.

When Reagan, himself a religious right member was elected then the protests ceased.

It is the same here. Tea Party is the equivalent of Moral Majority or Christian Coalition. It is the conservative Republicans who are protesting because they are out of power after 12 years. They are not used to being out of power. It is nothing more than that.

There is nothing new under the sun.

Noooooope. Wrong again joey.

The Tea Party is new. It is new and it drives the libs and Democrats nuts. So what else are they going to do? Just brand them all as racist and religious nuts and try to get them silenced. Nothing out of the ordinary for libs. When all else fails, call them bigots and racists and that should do the trick.

The thing that perplexes the libs and Democrats now is that the Tea Party Movement is picking up steam. That scares them. They don't like seeing the other side protest. it is unheard of.

Tea Party is not new. The name may be new. But it is the same far right conservative Republican base. It is the same stale, spoiled wine in a new bottle.

The thing that perplexes the libs and Democrats now is that the Tea Party Movement is picking up steam.
The Tea Party is new, it is still picking up steam. Give them time. They will peak. When they support only Republican candidates in the election, they will be exposed as the far right Republican base. Then it won't be a novelty any more, it will be just one more far right group (like Moral Majority or Christian Coalition).

At one time the religious right juggernaut appeared unstoppable. For a while it looked like they may succeed in establishing a Fundamentalist Christian Theocracy in USA. But their wings are clipped, now it is just another extreme right wing group. The same thing will happen to the Tea Party.

SirJosephPorter, even in the post you quote attributed to me you can not say and/or prove that I called anyone a ni***r or a fa***t. I said that invectives and adjectives are only a matter of degree. So, to anyone with the slightest amount of brains it means that regardless of what you and Lewis and Franks allege, they are black (sorry, African-American) and homosexual, respectively. And if they are not proud of it, then what in the heck is political correctness for???

Yes, at the risk of being banned, I am saying that, INDEED, you are lying. Without valid argument, time and time again you resort to spin and taking words out of context. So, be a spineless mimosa and report me.

If I took a poll of the posters on this forum, I am sure quite a few would agree with me.

SirJosephPorter, in his previous re-incarnation must have been a confidential advisor (i.e. the Court Jester) to King George. Picture it:

"Don't worry about the rabble rousers in Boston, your Majesty! They will never be able to live without the sunshine of your face. Or without British tea".

Closer to the present he seems to forget that the Moral Majority and the Christian Coalition got rid of the peanut farmer and resulted in the Presidency of Ronald Reagan.

Seems that some who fit that category, take issue with my statement that in the last 234 years the United States has been the most desired destination for immigrants, implying - Hell saying - that I am a traitor to Canada for saying so. And the most idiotc of them all claims that saying this fact is nothing but slavish admiration of Ammerica and would like to see me move there. Well, I have EARNED my Canadian Citizenship, while this jackass was BORN into his.

If what you are saying is true, then why did you come to Canada?

On the one hand, you're asking for praise because you came here, on the other hand, you're saying that most people don't want to come here.

I'm not saying it's slavish worship of the US, but, since you personally are an immigrant, and you are also saying that the US is the most desirable place for immigrants to go to, well, why don't you put your money where your mouth is?

They were not called black and homosexual, YJ. They were called ‘nigg*r’ and ‘f*g’. You said they are what they were called. so you as much as said that they are nigg*r and ‘f*g.

No matter how you try to twist, you cannot get out of it. You called them nigg*r and f*g and that is all there is to it. You said they are what they were called.

If I took a poll of the posters on this forum, I am sure quite a few would agree with me.

And your point is? We know this is a conservative dominated forum , of course most posters will take the side of a conservative rather than of a liberal. If we carried out a poll here, Harper probably will get 70 or 80% votes, rather than 30 or 35% that he would nationally. That means nothing.
