I'm sure you consider this a great victory but I am puzzled as to why.

I would agree with that but it is not something we would normally be batting around here unless there was some point to be made. I mean, nutball threatens legislator, dog bites man.

I am not going to square dance with you. You posted this thing in an attempt to show that people opposed to health care reform are a bunch of homicidal maniacs. Otherwise it would not be on your radar screen. Yes, it is wonderful that they are going to bring to justice someone who threatened the life of an elected official but beyond that, so what.

Oh - of course there's a point to be made - namely, that the wild exaggerations and vilification campaign undertaken by elements of the right is not without consequences.

One guy gets indicted for going overboard and that is an an indictment against "elements" (read, the entire right wing) of the right. We will certainly use the same standard when "elements" of the left do the same thing if that is how you want to play it.

BTW, you are a poor stand in for Quirt.

Actually, it's the second arrest involved with threats to Congressmen over the Healthcare Bill.

The first was the guy that threatened GOP Congressman Eric Cantor for opposing.

It goes both ways.

And you're a poor stand in for George. He no doubt would have linked to some story from 2004 about some left wing crackpot getting arrested for threatening a Congressmen over his war vote.

Allow me to fill in and link to a story about last week's arrest over a threat over healthcare.

Yeah, but you had already mentioned that, so it sorta lost its punch.

You know, if insulting people is supposed to bring them back, then you'll never get rid of some of us. :lol2:

Your technique may have a downside. Thought you might need to know. ;)

I'd do an awful crappy job but we're missing something by not having him post here so it was just an idea.

i could probably do a passable copper, if only I was opinionated.
As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good?

That was rude, and unprovoked.

You should consider changing your behavior. It reflects poorly on you.

It is unfortunate to pollute this board with such language.
