Your point became a joke when you linked that face carver to the tea party. Are you seriously still talking after that colossal failure? Because having a sense that your point is f'd up and moving on is honorable after all.

I did no such thing. I merely expressed my thoughts on the allegations in the best way I know how. Blame the Internet for making me resort to pictures.

Yeah, but you should also know that all of those folks that raped, robbed, vandalized, deficated, masterbated, assaulted, caused millions of dollars in damage to public and private property, and killed during the OWS venereal infirmary acquisition celebrations were in no way associated with OWS.  They were just random passers-by that happened to adorn themselves with similar garb and pretend to be associated with OWS.

You mean just like these guys?

Oh, I make the decision every day to waste my time on forums where thoughts are communicated in pictures rather than text. It is not, however, my fault that there are so damn many of them. ;)

Howley saw his "criminal" activity as a prank. But as the occupy movement grows, it is realistic to expect that Howley's article will inspire more agent provocateur actions by right wing frat boy types who think that provoking guards or police to violence is a fun prank.

The growing Occupy movement has to be very careful about people like Howley.  Here's the Wikipedia description of agents provocateur:

    "Traditionally, an agent provocateur (plural: agents provocateurs, French for "inciting agent(s)") is a person employed by the police or other entity to act undercover to entice or provoke another person to commit an illegal act. More generally, the term may refer to a person or group that seeks to discredit or harm another by provoking them to commit a wrong or rash action.

But there will be smarter agents provocateur, and more trouble-makers like Howley who aim to escalate, disrupt and sabotage peaceful protests. There will be people who Andrew Breitbart or his clones coach and encourage to do as Howley, pretending to be marchers.

And I'm sure Ted Nugent was projecting the feelings of millions of other patriots as well.  ::)

OK. Bad choice of words. Who is a real Patriot? You seem to think violence towards the US President is patriotic. Not me.

I've never advocated that.  I hold the Office of President in the highest respect.

The person who holds the office might not get rarely gets 100% of my respect, but the office always will.  An important lesson the most patriotic person I ever knew taught me- my father.

Same here, but the lesson came from my grandfather who served in WWII.  He was a Reagan Republican through and through and my grandmother was a Johnson democrat. Made for interesting visits sometimes.

I think the last two occupiers (no pun there) of the WH have been sub-par.  Obviously, I like our current President better, but mainly only because he doesn't sound like a buffoon when he speaks.  He leaves that to the Veep.
