Here's crooksandliars.com trying to poo-poo it...
No translation required Libbie. What I said makes perfect sense to all but the most unreasonable lib-tard.
midnight on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
The caption of the image: The picture on my phone was taken on Election Night- someone was burning Bush in effigy on Castro Street. Awesome.
I'll get to more later... I don't have time to sort through all the pictures to select just the right ones at this moment.
alm:I said over an 8 year period.....and I was referring to coverage by the legitmate news services. Forgive me if I don't take your phone pics of one local incident as total validation of your position. And like I said, compare that to the numerous examples of racist, threatening bilge at the various tea party gatherings in just one year. Unless you can corroborate your phone pics as part of or/with a valid news service coverage it's not a very good example.
Presidents attract no end of kooks. I should just assume every "progressive" is a violent death-monger who promotes violence like Randi Rhodes, according to you that's the way it works. Yeah, superfantastic.
What the hell are you babbling about?? I said/insinuated/alluded to no such thing! Evidently, your preconceived notions distort your ability to comprehend a simple sentence on this subject.
The reality is, it would definitely be difficult to get to the level of caustic hatred that was spewed during protests against Bush domestically. Your opinion that is seemingly based on your personal experience......but as I said, what's been documented in JUST ONE YEAR from the neocon punditry, birthers, oathers, teabaggers ACROSS THE USA tells another story. Until we reach that level your hypocrisy knows no bounds. Really? Then the forementioned collection of organized yahoos are just isn't happening? Man, you've have GOT to get the crack out of the pipe! Cheering on the closing of the park in front of the WH to squelch protests, nodding away at the extension Oh, you mean preventing a bunch of yahoos who TELL YOU that they're coming with a chip on their shoulder and possibly a gun on their hip to wail bloody murder? You mean that similar actions NEVER happened under the Shrub? Maybe you can explain the extra-ordinary actions that were taken in New York during the GOP Convention....just as one example. and strengthening of warrantless wiretapping, saying "Yeeehaaah" and "Oh, yeah!" to Biden suggesting exactly the same thing as Cheney when leaders of Al Qaeda are killed in Iraq...
Evidently, you share the same neocon blinders as some of the other posters here...because I and others have DOCUMENTED that various "liberal" and "progressive" groups, reporters, columnists and punditry have registered protests to Obama's continuing of Shrub policies. See, what's televised on the MSM is not always the status quo, don't cha know.
Then with a smirk you post that it is some how more acerbic when it comes from people you disagree with rather than those who you cheer.
Amazing how you lie as if butter wouldn't melt in your mouth. You're just pissed because I proved you wrong on several points AND documented it. And like most neocon blowhards, you just pretend that bits and parts of previous exchanges don't exist. Well, at least you haven't started deleting posts to sooth your ego...that's something.
It's gross hypocrisy at a level that reaches epic proportions. It's cool. I hope you focus on this, because it means you are still not getting it.
I've started pringing the bumperstickers already... That's nice....all local in from election night? Did those stickers get funding from a politicians PAC to form rallies and groups that disrupted town hall meetings across the country? Did it go all year long....8 years?
It's the Spending, Stupid!
Your act is getting old, Southy.....every blessed time I prove you wrong on a point or you can't logically or factually prove me wrong....you lie about what the chronology of the exchanges contain, then you insert a "question" that NEVER acknowledges the information I've previously sourced (IF you honestly discuss the contents of those sources at all). Then you pretend your question is suddenly the main point of discussion that will justify your original assertions/contentions. The chronology of the posts ALWAYS catches your lies, dodges and BS, Southy. Always. Your denial and ad nauseum repetition non-withstanding. Grow up.

The fact of the matter is you said that "no 'progressive' talk show host ever said these things", to answer that I posted links to multiple times. And believe me there were far more than that, the woman was atrocious.
<- yes, this is the winkie, for those on the left who can't understand this is a sign that my last sentence was sarcasm. People exist that are awful in both parties, just ignoring it partisanly seems to be the only thing that is consistent.

My point is, it would be nearly impossible to ever reach a point where people were "worse" than those who were against Bush. We haven't even come halfway to that point. I have yet to see people burning Obama in effigy, floats with him being beheaded, etc. (photos of which have been posted on this very site more than once, sometimes in threads you even participated in.)
No, I am unworried, if this low bar is the one you will set for anti-Obama protesters, because it would take far more than has been shown to ever get "lower" than those who attacked Bush so regularly for so many years.
Personally, I think that policy is free game regardless, and threats are horrific, however the bar you set is they'd have to be "worse"... It's nearly impossible to get "worse".
The left not only had "talk radio hosts" talking about it, movies depicting his assassination (Bush's) were played in the theaters. It's fascinating what you will decide to "remember" so that the world will fit neatly into some farcatic box you created that are the "good guys"...
Your good guys weren't so "good" during Bush's terms. Thankfully the R Party just doesn't have it in them to get as low as y'all did...
And yes, you did say that there was "no such thing" when this all started, Zappa.
I even explained what the winkie was for, man. I can't believe that you posted that.
And it isn't a video, it is a still of a float at a "protest", they had him and his cabinet being "executed" in myriad ways. Anyway, here are a few pictures for your enjoyment of the imaginary "good guys" that you've forgotten about....
I'll start with that wonderful float... notice the head in the basket... Good stuff, eh?
Just in case you missed it, here is that face again in close-up...
Here is one from a New York Protest...
From San Fran:
Here are others from protests in the US...
