You Canadians have the Eh-Bomb...and it's used to blow yer ego up....

now thats some funny shit


back on topic. sad event. string up the shooter by his sack

[callmeslick]

It was an armed citizen that put a stop to that asshole's attack.

every report I've read stated that he was tackled by two people. You have a different version or just a different definition of 'armed'?

Given that the Congresswoman appeared, with crosshairs, on a Palin web-page, and the level of stupid hate spewed from a host of outlets, is this shooting a real surprise? Welcome to the next phase of destructive politics in America.

trying to link this to Palin is boorish.

[callmeslick]

it's not just Palin, CUDA, I'm trying to link this to the entire rhetoric of politics. "2nd Amendment remedies',
crosshairs, etc. You might find it boorish, but that is the America you live in, you can fight to change the tone, or sit back and wonder why the crazies took over. Or to take another's viewpoint, the sheriff of the county where the attack took place was quoted:

"When you look at unbalanced people, how they respond to the vitriol that comes out of certain mouths about tearing down the government. The anger, the hatred, the bigotry that goes on in this country is getting to be outrageous," the sheriff said. "And unfortunately, Arizona I think has become the capital. We have become the mecca for prejudice and bigotry"

Meanwhile, over in China, we have the compare and contrast moment observed by Kristof:

we're consumed with hate politics, they focus on educating their young. Anyone in America think this is going to end well for us?

You're a moron if you think that Palin has anything to do with this. The shooter stated on his website he was a left winger. Why would he shoot one of his own? Who knows. He was unstable and was turned down by the military, who can't comment because of privacy issues. There's all kinds of evidence that shows he was a loon. As much of a loon as you are for trying to link Palin or any other politician to this.

By far this is the most retarded thing you've ever said. Dumbfuck.

she is just an example of the level to which politics has sunk.

The shooter stated on his website he was a left winger.

he can state whatever he wants....he ranted on some basically Libertarian principles, but the final analysis was that he was crazy.

it, as the sheriff stated very well, is the TONE of American political discourse. You, of course, as part of the hate speech zombie-corps, won't get that.

I hate stupidity, which you are a huge example of. You're as stupid as some of the other interweb retards who think this is about political affiliations. What party did the 9 year old belong to?

your serious right???

2 words Tiananmen square. China has no political desention because they do not allow any

Dontcha love it? A grown man so afraid of folks that think different that he refuses to see their posts! Whee!

When you avoid dissenting views it is you that is stupid, not the other way around.

while I do not always like the tone of political debates. I like the principle of a political debate. this country has survived with the same tone in politics since its inception. if you dont believe me read up on Andrew Jackson. what happened in that election. it would put current politics to shame for the down right dirt and lies that were slung.

[ruggbutt]

I didn't before, but I'm beginning to understand why Dawg and HH put CallmeTard on ignore. I'm honestly scared that his stupidity may rub off.
