Right on. Doesn't it remind you of the left's glory days when things like tree spiking were all the rage? Reminiscing probably gives you a lump in your throat.

You are engaging in a classic conservative debate tactic - trying to label Democrats as equally fucked up as Republicans based upon singular or rare events not supported by the party's rank and file or its leadership, whereas Republicans idiocy, political violence (and even fascism) are supported up and down the party from the base through to its leaders.

You also did this regarding the conservative kid recently run over and killed in North Dakota as if this relatively rare event is as frequent as the far more frequent and deadly political violence by the Right (Jan. 6, massacres in Charleston, El Paso, Pittsburgh, Oklahoma City, Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Sikh Temple in Wisconsin ...). Of the 443 people killed at the hands of extremists over the last 10 years, 333 (or 75%) were killed by right-wing extremists. Of the remainder most were from Black nationalists and Muslim extremists and hardly any by the Left. From 2008-2017, 71% of extremist murders were attributable to the Right and 3% to the Left.

My comments were spot on. In this case, I could care less if you don't like them. And I'm not sorry that you were triggered by them, resulting in the exhoration about "Republican idiocy, political violence (and even fascism) are supported up and down the party from the base through to its leaders". What a bunch of verbal diarrhea.

Here's a question for you? Why is it that this group - for example - has no entry of the leftist bible of extremist groups, the Southern Poverty Law Center.

The FBI admits their existence and states that they have the group under investigation. Yet, several bombings of pro-life centers and not one arrest. Not even a statement that they have a "person of interest".

Over the summer of 2020, thousands were arrested for participating in the BLM riots in various cities across the country. These were organized demonstrations with political demands, yet to my knowledge not one of those convicted was charged with any crimes related to political insurrection, or terrorism.

And, yes, Shannon Brandt mowed down a kid, Cayler Ellingson, with his SUV. Somehow he thought that it would be an OK "defense" to tell the cops that the kid was part of a "right-wing" hate group.

Now, after the Gabby Giffords shooting, I was pilloried here by forum members who insisted that the shooter Jared Lee Loughner was triggered by a Republican campaign video that had icons resembling crosshairs. There was at that time and still is no evidence that Lougher ever saw the video. That theme spun on and on for weeks afterward in the media.

Yet, this poor kid Ellingson gets his young life cut short, and the MSM's reporting on Brandt and the killing appears to done. There's no desire at all to investigate or even discuss whether Brandt was motivated by Biden's speech, when he shouted about America being at an “inflection point” because “MAGA Republicans” “do not respect the Constitution.” “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic!” This speech was well stage-managed, complete with red background and Biden's clenched fists. (Biden kinda sounds like you too.)

Hawaii Sen. Mazie Hirono said fighting pro-lifers is “is literally a call to arms in our country.” Rep. Tim Ryan, running for US Senate in Ohio, said, “We have to kill and confront that [extremist] movement.” And those are just this month.

Left-wing violence exists and is alive and well. Just because it's either under-reported or buried by the media doesn't mean that it's not out there.

Of course it exists, but at 3% vs 71% for right-wing domestic terrorism. If you don't recognize that far-right extremism is significantly more dangerous than far-left extremism, you're both delusional and in denial. Indeed, the GOP with its overt gun worship/fetishism and talk of Second Amendment solutions against "tyranny" deliberately feeds this violence. Hell, 4 in 10 Republicans say political violence may now be necessary.

Right-wing extremism in the United States appears to be growing. The number of terrorist attacks by far-right perpetrators rose over the past decade, more than quadrupling between 2016 and 2017. The recent pipe bombs and the October 27, 2018, synagogue attack in Pittsburgh are symptomatic of this trend. U.S. federal and local agencies need to quickly double down to counter this threat... (B)etween 2007 and 2017 attacks occurred in virtually every state in the United States.

Ian is the sixth Category 4 or 5 hurricane to make landfall in the United States since 2017, which is the most on record for any six-year period. So much for the BS that Whell is spewing.

Heard from a friend lot of TV exposure for DeSatan, none for DJT. Must be tormenting the moron to no end.

And Abbot is asking, "where is my hurricane".

Edit: Isn't there a drink in NooOrleans named Hurricane? Never been there.

Yep, and the most famous one is at Pat O'Brien's in the French Quarter. Basically a fruit punch with lots of rum.

My brother bought a winter home in Baton Rouge last year. Hoping to visit them in November and perhaps check out the French Quarter. No mood altering beverages for me though.

I lived there for 3 years and still visit fairly often. Don't spend too much time in the French Quarter, particularly not Bourbon St. Way too touristy. For music, hit Frenchmen St. or some of the uptown clubs. If you like seafood, go to Deanie's (several locations, including the Quarter on Iberville St). Their seafood platter is truly a sight to behold (and eat). It comes in portions for 2 or 4. Order half as much as you think you need (get the platter for 2 for 4 people). This picture is the platter for 4. If you want some oysters on the half shell while in the Quarter, go to Acme Oyster House.
