The one you quoted but didn't bother to respond to in post #16. I made an effort to answer your question in a serious and informative way.

What should the public be doing - continuing to cheer these 3 gals when they allude to the 2nd Amendment solution? No, such demagogues should be shunned. Simple as that.

The whole attempt to downplay the rhetoric and vitriol of those on what I view as the extreme right, the Bachmanns, Palins and Becks of this country, as mundane, run of the mill political fodder is ludicrous. The shear volume of it has been staggering and the mindless parroting of slogans and cliche's by "rank and file" wingnuts and right wing punditry has been like listening to ten million broken records.
And yet........."Who? Us? Why we would never..........."
It is such a bizarre notion that I scarcely believe Monty Python could have conceived of such ridiculous nonsense.

Actually Finn's words were very simple and did not state what you infer, I gather English is not your strong point.

Your statement "by your definition", and the connections to the Mosque story, made little sense to me.
My contention in this case, and I think I've been pretty consistent on this, is that there is no conclusive evidence connect the shooter to the political right, Palin, Fox News, etc., as some folks this forum appear to wish to tie him to.
In the case of the mosque, the suggestion was that the organization looking to build the Ground Zero Mosque was being rather tone deaf, not that they were somehow responsible for 9/11. I was supportive of those who wanted to investigate where the Imam got his support and funds, because his stated intentions seemed very much out of phase with his plan. To connect the stories is, to me, an apples an oranges comparison.
On the other hand, if you truly believe that the folks were wrong to suggest that the Imam was tied to 9/11, then consistency would suggest that you should be equally outspoken against those who want to tie the shooter to the "political right", since there is no evidence of any such ties.

This is the post I was responding to, so I guess my English is just fine.

I'm shocked. Sorry man. There are a load of people on the right I can disagree with but have a productive conversation with. You seem too deeply indoctrinated to consider that some of your positions are as knee jerk as those you criticize on the other side. No worries, I was the same way not all too long ago.

Have you read my posts on the subject? But, as I said above, it doesn't much matter what I say. I'm a Democrat, so you're quite sure sure that you already know all my opinions before I post them.
