The prominently displayed sign read, "Where is John Hinckley when we really need him?" It featured a bullet hole with dripping red blood.

These are the types of people that associate with the democratic party? If so I'm glad I'm not a democrat.

Same here. Displaying that sign just got that person on a lot of bad lists...

[Zimphire]

I don't think he speaks for the left. But this is the attitude you'll get from most protester types.

I am sure he feels self important.

I am sure he patted himself on the back.

Without ever realizing what harm he just did for his cause.

The Clueless.

Besides there would be a better chance that Jodi Foster herself would be pulling the trigger than John.

[Shaddim]

When asked how he interpreted the sign, the man who refused to be identified, said, "Gosh, I don't know."

"A guy with a badge wanted to know what the sign meant. I said I really did not understand -- it's just something that popped into my head."

Let him cool his ass in a cell for a while, I'm sure it will come back to him.

Very typical of the militant Left.

Of the left in general. They want to do bad things, but they don't want to be responsible for their actions.

"Militant Left"? Is that even possible? I thought everyone on the left were bleeding hearts and panzies?

More to the point, I think this is just typical of protestors on both sides of the fence. Just think about some of the things abortion protestors say and do ... especially the ones that assasinate abortion doctors. Do they speak for the right, in general?

[chris v]

Where is Ann Coulter when the right really needs her?

Edit: quote: "We need to execute people like John Walker in order to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize that they can be killed, too."

She's one of the Conservative's favorite voices, not just some guy out in the street. Hatred, run rampant on both sides of the isle, is currently making me sick at my stomach.

Eh, sorry to inform you but when it comes to violent hateful protests, the left has the edge.

When was the last time that has happened? And MOST ALL Conservatives came against such things.

I've heard leftists make comments like the protester in the article for the past 4 years on the internet. It's not unusual.

Yes. Remember, all liberals are also wellfare freeloaders.

Also, all liberals are Ivory-tower Hollywood limo-liberals.

Additionally, all liberals are disconnected Ivy-league intellectual egg-head policy wonks.

And don't forget, all liberals are law-breaking, Starbuck's-hating, bomb-throwing, protest-in-the-street anarchists.

[typoon]

I wonder if there is the same poison towards the other democrats who are voting for Bush such as Ed Koch.

And, likewise, in the last three years I've heard people from the right call for the genocide of all Arabs. It's also not unusual, but do I think this is a representative view of rightists? No.

Must you people spend the majority of your time on the minority of extremists?

[chris v]

and here's another Ann Coulter, guiding light of the Republican Party, quote: (one of my personal faves) "My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building."

She's a real peace-loving, inclusive All american girl, eh?

I just wanted to make the point that conservative forum members who decry this kind of "liberal" advocacy of violence have voiced their personal admiration for Ann Coulter, an advocate of violence.

If we all keep poking each other in the eye, we're going to all end up stumbling around, blind.

I wasn't singling you out, but there have been way too many threads about this kind of stuff in here recently.

The problem is that some people seem to believe that these extremist minorities speak for everyone that may share even one of their opinions.

[Zimphire]

Who here is doing that? I heard ONE person ask if it was the case.

That's not the only or even the main problem (though I agree that it is one); even people who don't believe that have been going on and on about it. Some of the stuff is so obviously over the line (like this assassination one) that there's barely anything to discuss.

It's part of a more general issue. We don't need a thread for every single event reported in the news, only ones that might raise an interesting and worthwhile discussion. Most of these (and others, of course) don't fall into that category. That's my point.

I'll agree with that. Do me a favor and private message Lerk about it. He does it the most of anyone in this forum.

I didn't feel singled out at all, and I agree, hence my sick at the stomach comment.

You know, I have some conservative friends, in fact, my best friend, and the guitar player in my band (a person whom I've known since high school, some 20-odd years now) is a dyed-in-the-wool Republican. He thinks Bush is an idiot, but that's beside the point. He and I haven't resorted to wanting each other dead yet, and in fact, we've never even had a heated argument. We do both enjoy attempting to sway one-another's viewpoints, and we've both learned things from one another.

I live in a nice, peaceful neighborhood. I have conservative neighbors who are cheerful, friendly people. and guess what? They have liberal neighbors who are also cheerful, friendly people.

I'm galled by the wide-stroke painting of either side as violent, or un-American as a whole. People like John Walker-Lindh and Kevin McVeigh stand out precisely because they are so unusual, and its sad to see them held up as standard-bearers in order to make a point.

[Zimphire]

Yup, just like my dyed-in-the-wool Democrat neighbor that thinks Kerry is a lying sack of crap that is out to sell out America.

It is unfortunate that American English cannot distinguish between someone who endorses democracy and fundamental democratic rights, such as the right to protest and peaceful assembly, and someone who endorses a certain political party.

I sympathize with the right-wing posters here for their obvious linguistic inability to know the difference.

thank god the rest of the world does not seem to have this problem.

You DO know that a great many of those protests have been violent, don't you? Piss slinging, attacking cops, defacing property, abusive language, etc.. Maybe that's ok in parts of socialist Europe (where it's common for 50+ to die in a football game), but it's not ok here. Keep your sanctimonious behavior to yourself, the branch in your own eye should be more important to you than the splinter in ours'.

I don't think anybody died at *soccer* games in socialist parts of Europe, back when there still *were* socialist parts.

Sory, gotta run now - it's Friday, and there's a mass-killi^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H soccer game on around the corner.

Been about fifteen years since part of Germany was socialist, though.

Was he a Dem or a disgruntled Republican or maybe an anarchist or a nutjob?

I dunno.

If we were to judge a party by one anonymous nutjob of unknown affiliation except that he hates The Shrubster I would say that from P"s posts that The Republicans are all for Muslum genocide.

Maybe this guy should pull a Zell and challenge Shrub to a duel at dawn.

Hey, you guys remember that time Cash referred to Al Gore as 'sniper rifle meat' on here and then the secret service came and grabbed him? That was pretty funny. Well, Cash didn't think so, but it was still funny.

How long ago was this ? Did they go to his residence and grab him ? And yes, that is pretty funny.

I remember on another forum awhile back, some moron made a threat against Bush, and sure enough the Secret Service or somebody came to his place and checked him out.

[version]

Hmm, I don't remember too many people complaining about Saddam being killed. If some people view certain individuals as a threat to their world, then why not imply that they should be done away with?

Personally speaking, I wouldn't want Bush killed, but I would certainly love to see him in the Hague on charges of being a danger to humanity, and a war criminal. Humiliate the fcuker, not kill him.

Unless your understanding of grammar is faulty, being killed can apply to future events. Thus, when the phony second war on Iraq took place, plenty of people cried out for him to be killed.

Search the archives; the thread should still be there. I believe it was the summer before the 2000 election, and cash had said something along the lines of "If Al Gore wins, he's sniper rifle meat". Now, I don't believe that Cash meant that he was going to make Gore sniper rifle meat, I think he just meant that someone would. But a member here called the secret service, and Cash got questioned about it. If I remember correctly, they had him go to there office, but maybe not.

I've had to deal with the Secret Service at work when we have had patients make threats against the pres. They usually just send two agents who use a fifteen-page questionnaire to determine if there is a valid threat. Sometimes the S.S. doesn't even show up, detectives from the local PD come down and do the questionnaire. Only once have we had them determine a threat was real and had us turn over the person to their custody. Well, only once since I’ve worked there.

Anyone who says stupid **** like that is well…a retard. But here's a better one:

Too busy to be a self-righteous protester, Geriatric Gene draws the Swastika backwards. So it's not really the Swastika associated with Nazis, now isn't it?

That's more open to criticism that some little moron who tries to be funny in a sick way. But then again, he might not have been kidding. The guy might be insane.

You rock Spheric! I don't know how I missed all that. Is Ca$h still around anywhere? Still going by Gorefan88? That just rips me up with laughter man. I swear this was the first time I've done more than chuckle-this really cracked me up. I can't believe that happened to a member here.
