Maybe one of Ayers radicalized students will bomb the capital for old time sake. The only ‘bombs’ mccain ever threw were at the vietcong. 2008-10-08T07:08:05-07:00 http://braindonkey.com/blog/article/wow_like_a_cornered_wild_animal/ http://braindonkey.com/blog/article/wow_like_a_cornered_wild_animal/#When:06:40:56Z @"I stole the watch i STOLE the watch i stole THE watch i stole the WATCH” That’s not context, that’s emphasis 2008-10-08T06:40:56-07:00 http://braindonkey.com/blog/article/conspiracy_to_commit_murder/ http://braindonkey.com/blog/article/conspiracy_to_commit_murder/#When:02:11:16Z Egads. Your thoughts scare me. 2008-10-08T02:11:16-07:00 http://braindonkey.com/blog/article/maybe_the_media_should_not_cover_mccain_for_a_day/ http://braindonkey.com/blog/article/maybe_the_media_should_not_cover_mccain_for_a_day/#When:00:18:54Z It’s not only angering, but terrifying. Of course McCain and Palin don’t think that Obama is a terrorist. With both of their past and current affiliations, they are also not ones to talk… But the problem is not them, it’s who they speak to. Frightened, desperate, small people who are upset because of the economy, unsettled by the prospect of a black president, and have possibly felt personal loss in some form via the war. Those people, just need a push to become irrational, and as such, make stupid decisions, the worst of which would be murder. So this brings me to a thought I had, as a result of this, which I am going to post. 2008-10-08T00:18:54-07:00 http://braindonkey.com/blog/article/maybe_the_media_should_not_cover_mccain_for_a_day/ http://braindonkey.com/blog/article/maybe_the_media_should_not_cover_mccain_for_a_day/#When:20:19:05Z This “Liberal Media” thing has gotten so far out of hand it’s not even funny. It is breathtakingly out of balance with reality. It would appear, that if you slam anything left of center then you’re OK. If you report, accurately, on anything that does not appeal to the hating right wing, then you are “Liberal Media” and patently unfair. The notion that FOR REALS balanced reporting is somehow Liberal and stupidly out of control. And now, with the reports of Palin fans screaming and assaulting the media even as they try to cover her is astonishing. My god, what we’ve become. 2008-10-07T20:19:05-07:00 http://braindonkey.com/blog/article/wow_like_a_cornered_wild_animal/ http://braindonkey.com/blog/article/wow_like_a_cornered_wild_animal/#When:17:38:39Z @acceptable No its not, in this context. When ayers was on trial, sure, now, no. Should the person who yelled it be gagged? no of course not. But the problem, as always, is context. Even if we assume he was yelling for the murder of Ayers, and not Obama, then it still is not acceptable from the standpoint of the supposedly democratic nation that we are. He was tried, and the results were what they were. The end. Again though, I don’t know why you insist on implying that I think bombing anything at all is acceptable. I don’t in this case. However, I can give you an example where I am 100% sure you would be right there next to me lighting the fuse. If our government instituted forced conscription without benefit. Or, if our government was to install cameras in all of our homes so they could “watch us” 24/7. Or if our government was to start telling you that you HAD to pray to flying spaghetti monster. It’s context, and the context of the time, for the majority, was unacceptable. Again though, bombing as such, is very much a last resort, and I agree that Ayers failed in that respect. @Secret Service. No edgar, you are wrong. I do agree 100% that if people wanted to organize and have a rally to call for the execution of Ayers, then they should do that, and I would 100% support their right to. The minute one of them tries to act on their own however, that group loses that right. In the case of the rally for McCain/Palin however, the purpose was not to call for the execution of Ayers, it was for the supposed purpose of convincing people why the should vote for McCain. When in the course of that “presentation”, you tie a Presidential candidate with a known past terrorist, and the immediate response from the crowd is to kill him, the question is who are they calling for? Obama or Ayers? If there is even any possibility that the call is for Obama, which in this case there is, then the SS and police should have acted. Any direct threat, or instigation of threat, should never be taken lightly. It was not an opinion, it was an instigation, in an unrelated setting. It is about the same as someone yelling in the middle of a movie “kill whitey”. God forbid someone is on enough drugs to act. The fact that you cannot see the distinction between between protest/rally/meeting and blurting out an aggressive request for murder, is a bit disheartening. I understand the desire to want them to be the same, but they are not. The ACLU attitude still stands, as does freedom of speech. People in this country need to learn that although you can say whatever you want, you need to pay more attention to how you say it. Context is king. I stole the watch i STOLE the watch i stole THE watch i stole the WATCH 2008-10-07T17:38:39-07:00 http://braindonkey.com/blog/article/wow_like_a_cornered_wild_animal/ http://braindonkey.com/blog/article/wow_like_a_cornered_wild_animal/#When:08:14:58Z “if the guy was yelling in regards to Ayers or Obama, but why does that matter? To call for the murder of someone is not acceptable, period,” Lets see, to call for the murder of a TERRORIST is not acceptable even thought the terrorist bombs his own coutry, jeopardizing the lives of innocents. That’s NOT acceptable. But it is acceptable to bomb your country and terrorize its citizens if: 1. you go to jail 2. you become a professor 3. it was 40 years ago “any one of the dozens of police and SS guys should have acted, but didn’t. Great...” Some calls for the death of a terrorist. In America, a man ought to be able to exercise his freedom of speech. It should be ok to say that a terrorist who bombed this nation should die. That opinion is valid. Go and ask any body if they think a person who bombs their own country should die. Any person from any country. Most will say that that is an acceptable point of view I imagine. Where is that ‘ACLU’ attitude?? If it’s ok for NAZI’s to march through a Jewish neighborhood in Chicago, then it should also be ok to call for the death of a TERRORIST. Thought control as usual from the left. 2008-10-07T08:14:58-07:00 http://braindonkey.com/blog/article/obama_connected_to_bill_ayers_barely/ http://braindonkey.com/blog/article/obama_connected_to_bill_ayers_barely/#When:23:21:01Z its actually getting a bit tiring. 2008-10-06T23:21:01-07:00 http://braindonkey.com/blog/article/obama_connected_to_bill_ayers_barely/ http://braindonkey.com/blog/article/obama_connected_to_bill_ayers_barely/#When:23:02:24Z This argument is actually so very funny to me. If we had a magic eyeball and could see the past and events of every person that McCain or Obama or Biden or Palin or BushClintonClintonBushCheneyCarterFordReaganNixonetcetcetc ever had association with or were friends with it’d be a bloodbath. The fact that you all know me and converse with me may very well get you thrown in prison someday (Of course, it probably won’t, unless we see the creation of the Thought Police. And what will Room 101 look like for you, eh?) The rightwing is just so desperate to tar Obama with SOME dirty brush that they’ll work anything into hamburger. Let’s see if it sticks. I doubt it, just as the Keating 5 scandal probably won’t either, and frankly, it’s meaningless as well. Let’s get back to how we’re going to go forward. Oh, sorry, right. McCain can’t. Mud is all he’s got left. ::sigh:: It’s going to be a long month. 2008-10-06T23:02:24-07:00 http://braindonkey.com/blog/article/mccains_campaign_is_now_playing_ignorant_on_keating_lol/ http://braindonkey.com/blog/article/mccains_campaign_is_now_playing_ignorant_on_keating_lol/#When:22:48:58Z .. and on the news today, McCain is quoted as saying, “Obama just tells lies. He must believe that if he says them loud enough and often enough then people will believe him.” Um, I get the feeling that American public is not dumb enough to fall for this… but is McCain himself that dumb? Criminy, we have 4 more weeks of this horsesh!t to go! 2008-10-06T22:48:58-07:00 http://braindonkey.com/blog/article/obama_connected_to_bill_ayers_barely/ http://braindonkey.com/blog/article/obama_connected_to_bill_ayers_barely/#When:02:41:30Z I was refering to your assertion that I was saying it was no big deal with your sentence here: “Oh, it was just a few bombs...no big deal. LMAO!!!! “ This was just a miscomm between us it seems. I do think Obama knowing him, and even possibly to the level that was in the NYT article, is no big deal. so you are correct. But i DO NOT think that bombing to make a point is no big deal. Of course it is. LOL@ weathermen bombing iraq. smart ass. Since I obviously left a “hole” for a comment, i will clarify.  The weathermen believed the US Government was doing harm to it’s citizens. They were protecting themselves, at least that’s the justification for what they did. Again, was it right? Of course not, but the government didn’t “do no wrong” either. All sides had their moments of glory and moments of disgrace, but most have moved on since, and frankly, the country became a better place from it all. Fire cleans the way for growth and all that jazz. 2008-10-06T02:41:30-07:00 http://braindonkey.com/blog/article/obama_connected_to_bill_ayers_barely/ http://braindonkey.com/blog/article/obama_connected_to_bill_ayers_barely/#When:02:20:48Z “We are fighting in Iraq because of a belief that they are doing us harm. The weathermen did the same thing, but didn’t have a presidential seal of approval and wear uniforms.” The weathermen bombed Iraq? 2008-10-06T02:20:48-07:00 http://braindonkey.com/blog/article/obama_connected_to_bill_ayers_barely/ http://braindonkey.com/blog/article/obama_connected_to_bill_ayers_barely/#When:02:17:55Z “No you over-interpreted what I said. At no point did I say, nor hint at it being no-big-deal.” @The DONKEY at PERKISETS BLOG “The fact that Obama has had some exposure to him, even if it was as far as having been to his house once, is in reality a non-thing.” 2008-10-06T02:17:55-07:00 http://braindonkey.com/blog/article/obama_connected_to_bill_ayers_barely/ http://braindonkey.com/blog/article/obama_connected_to_bill_ayers_barely/#When:16:38:10Z No you over-interpreted what I said. At no point did I say, nor hint at it being no-big-deal. It was, but those times are past, and everyone but a very very small number of people had since moved well on past it. There have been MANY times in this country where the actions of few, expressed the feelings of many, and that was one of those times. Was it the correct way, no, of course not. But it was a way, and one that our own government uses quite regularly, unless you didn’t notice the war going on. It’s no different. We are fighting in Iraq because of a belief that they are doing us harm. The weathermen did the same thing, but didn’t have a presidential seal of approval and wear uniforms. Unfortunately it’s a subtle argument, and emotion can get in the way. I have had it quite a few times about the 911 guys. Unfortunately, a terrorist is trying to elicit a change to what they believe is right. The 911 terrorists, and the radical groups they are associated with do not want to elicit a change from us. They want us dead. They do not believe we are worth living. They are not terrorists, they are murderers. There are many terrorists in the world who you might believe in, and choose to name a “hero” or “pursuer of justice” or “peace seeker”. Nelson Mandela was a terrorist. Not that Ayers is any Mandela mind you, but do I get my point across? Regardless though. The Ayers connection with Obama is tenuous at best. Big fucking deal. Did he shun the guy? No, and I don’t really think he should have. 2008-10-05T16:38:10-07:00 http://braindonkey.com/blog/article/obama_connected_to_bill_ayers_barely/ http://braindonkey.com/blog/article/obama_connected_to_bill_ayers_barely/#When:07:56:00Z Bill Ayers, “the Weathermen, which launched a campaign of bomings in 1969 against the government.” “Those were difficult times for this country, when Obama was 8 years old mind you, and many people made many mistakes.” Oh, it was just a few bombs...no big deal. LMAO!!!! I love it! LMAO!! I love how you try to justify the weathermen’s actions by saying ‘it was tough times back then’. LMAO!! Are you just baiting me man? I know what you are trying to do. You are trying to justify the weatherman’s actions in order to make Ayers connections to Obama seem harmless.  It must be a nightmare to have to defend a guy like Ayer. 2008-10-05T07:56:00-07:00 http://braindonkey.com/blog/article/almost_100_of_mccains_current_ads_are_negative/ http://braindonkey.com/blog/article/almost_100_of_mccains_current_ads_are_negative/#When:22:07:46Z lol. I get more freaking feeds then I know what to do with. mostly tech though, maybe about 10 political feeds. 2008-10-04T22:07:46-07:00 http://braindonkey.com/blog/article/rolling_stone_10_myths_about_palin/ http://braindonkey.com/blog/article/rolling_stone_10_myths_about_palin/#When:22:06:30Z no. I just thought it was good and a concise list of some things. I get my facts from: http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/ http://factcheck.org/ 2008-10-04T22:06:30-07:00 http://braindonkey.com/blog/article/who_answered_the_actual_questions/ http://braindonkey.com/blog/article/who_answered_the_actual_questions/#When:19:04:19Z Completely laughable, a newly-taxed health benefit from an employer (meaning that you just got a “raise” of 12K/year that you don’t see a dime of) which, since it will be more expensive to the employer, it’s expected that about 12MM people currently insured will get dropped. Then they’ll get a 5K tax credit to go buy their own policy, which frankly, I’d be SO VERY happy if it was only 12K/year. We have BC/BS top shelf and can’t move (unless something changes dramatically) because of PinkHat’s breast cancer - so they see their way clear to raise my rates every 6-12 months. It’s obscene, but I cannot move - they have me by the short hairs. And to further your point, I think most folks neither know how expensive their health insurance is, or more frighteningly the cost of health care… it is no mystery to me why people go bankrupt after a serious health problem and small-to-no insurance. Sometimes I think it’s simply another way that the financial elite allow things to stay the same to promote a caste America. 2008-10-04T19:04:19-07:00 http://braindonkey.com/blog/article/almost_100_of_mccains_current_ads_are_negative/ http://braindonkey.com/blog/article/almost_100_of_mccains_current_ads_are_negative/#When:18:57:19Z You and I must be receiving the same feeds my friend… I agree, this is the last act of a desperate campaign. And I hope that the country sees it that way. I just can’t believe that McCain sees a scorched earth campaign policy as a good way to start a presidency for EITHER side, so it is clear that his notion of “country first” is a complete and utter lie, because he would forgo honor, bipartisanship or even decency just to get elected. He’s gone from angry curiosity to joke to disgusting. I really hope the country sees him for what he is now. 2008-10-04T18:57:19-07:00 http://braindonkey.com/blog/article/rolling_stone_10_myths_about_palin/ http://braindonkey.com/blog/article/rolling_stone_10_myths_about_palin/#When:06:23:18Z So… this is where you get all of your information!
