Senator Martinez Pulls A Palin

[waterboy]

What's there to discuss?  The fact that several right-wing PACs are organizing people to go on shout-downs of any democratic representative they find?  You don't see that happening at the right wing 'town halls'.

It's all Rovian tactics, and, for lack of a better term, rat f-ing on a grass-roots/astroturf level.  If I were to talk about what I think about it, I'd be accused of being a partisan hack, but the vitriol and hate and violence I'm seeing spewed at this events disgusts me and the whole community involvement with the political process.  It's tantamount to throwing the baby out with the bathwater....

And that is why folks like you, me, FOTD and others need to have this outlet. He isn't content to sit back and listen to the pontificating and rationalization that passes for discussion. He doesn't quietly acquiesce to stupid uninformed remarks. He pisses me off sometimes too and I sincerely hope I have pissed him off. 

Questioning keeps our community healthy, whether its the Mayor haters, the downtowners, the tin hats, the Libertarians or us River Promoters. If no one asks the questions, we suffer. If no one provokes discussion, others think whats occurring is legitimate.

FOTD was enjoying his breakfast last week when he suggested the hate talk going around the counter needed to be curbed. This demon got a rush out of simmering these nuts down after they started to commence their angry and violent assault on me while eating my food.

Made me feel proud and brave to be an American.

Listen here creep....you and your un American creepie comrades who fail to condemn the intimidation methods going on right now in this cuntry resemble anarchists in the worst way. The first shot fired on the good and kind because of you types need to be hauled in for accessory to a crime.... the government missed on Tiller the killer.

You misfit. We will hook it up with hate. Condemn this behavior or be a co conspirator.

Besides all that, what caused this later gator? Again, check in at C Street with your fellow creations or see his health records that you subsidize.....you socialist.

Someone went on vacation and left his meds in the hotel room, I suspect.  Dude, you are almost incoherent.  PWI last night?

Forums should be a free-market of ideas.  I know I've had some long-standing viewpoints changed or slightly altered as a result of being a member here. 

FOTD has added a few gems here and there and is good for a laugh every now and then, but this constant speaking in the third person and cutting and pasting wholesale articles is old and I doubt few people read all his posts.  I have nothing personal against the guy, I just don't see that his obsessive rants about Karl Rove, President Bush, and Vice President Cheney add a whole lot to the discussion here.

He got pissed off the other day because I simply asked him to contribute something substantive on local development instead of essentially telling everyone else they are idiots and have no idea what they are talking about.  Fine, set me straight and educate the rest of us on the realities of local development, but don't tell everyone they are wrong and offer nothing in return for that observation.  If you are going to tell me I'm wrong, at least tell me why I am.

He contributed nothing but insults on all the other posters on that thread.  He's a thread-crap jockey and otherwise mumbles to himself on his own threads most of the time.  I take his barbs with a grain of salt, at least in my alcohol-soaked brain, or whatever he called it.

FOTD has added a few many gems here and there and is good for a laugh cynicism and humor every now and then[/u], but this constant speaking in the third personremoval of using  "I" as first tense and cutting and pasting wholesale articles is old and I doubt few people read under educated readers understand all his posts.  I have nothing personal against the guy can't tolerate his positions on issues, especially race and political, I just don't see that his obsessive rants continued updates about Karl Rove, President Bush, and Vice President Cheney The Busheviks who damaged this cuntry add a whole lot to the discussion here.

He got pissed off the other day because I simply lied and asked him to contribute something substantive on local development instead of essentially telling everyone Conan else they are he is an idiot and have no idea what they are he is talking about.  Fine, set me straight and educate the rest of us on the realities of local development, but don't tell everyone they are I am wrong and offer nothing kryptonite in return for that observation.  If you are going to tell me I'm wrong, at least tell me why I am.

But, it's ok to show up and shout down, show intolerance towards other ideas, Change the thread topic in order to avoid admitting wrong, use personal attacks while displaying little knowledge about FOTD.
