Why do you believe Bush was such an extraordinary President?
Watch it yurt, you're heading into hissy fit territory.
My link dates to 2008; the photoshopped picture dates to the Tucson tragedy.
You all are saying it's not political and should be taken as a stand-alone tragedy, yet RW pundits are quick to flood the blogosphere with articles that Loughner is a liberal. How about explaining why they're so eager to do this?
Right-wing Media Rush To Label Loughner A "Liberal"
Hoft Calls Loughner A " 'Liberal' Killer."
Big Journalism: "Inconveniently, A Former Friend And Bandmate Described Loughner As 'Left-Wing Political Radical' And 'Quite Liberal.'"
Hoft Cites Fake Facebook Page In Attempt To Link Loughner To Obama. In a January 10 Gateway Pundit post, titled "Whoops! This Changes Things- Loughner's Hero Was Barack Obama," Hoft claimed: "Even more curious are Loughner's 'heroes.' He mentions by name Venezuelan Communist Hugo Chavez, Latin American Communist mass-murderer Che Guevara, American Socialist revolutionary Saul Alinsky, and even Barack Obama." As evidence Hoft, cited a Free Republic message board in which commenter "Scanian" posted an excerpt from a Facebook page allegedly belonging to "Jared Laughner" [sic]. After the page was shown to be a forgery, Hoft removed the post with little explanation. [Gateway Pundit, 01/10/11; For screenshot, see Media Matters, 01/10/11]
Power Line: "What Little Evidence We Have Suggests The Shooter Was Politically Liberal."
Newsmax: Shooter "Fascinated By Leftwing Politics," His Favorite Books "Hardly The Reading List Of A Palin Supporter."
Geller Calls Loughner A "Lefty Loon." From a January 8 blog post on Geller's website Atlas Shrugs:
WND's Klein: "'The Communist Manifesto' And Hitler's 'Mein Kampf' Were Among The Favorite Reading Materials Of Jared Lee Loughner." In a January 8 WorldNetDaily article titled "Assassin's politics lean 'left wing, quite liberal...'"
NewsBusters' Sheppard On Loughner Enjoying Mein Kampf: Hitler's "Views Were Quite Opposite Of What Conservatives In America Currently Stand For."
Hannity: Some "Say This Pot-Smoking Communist Manifesto, Mein Kampf, Student Who Gets Kicked Out Of School Was Somehow A Conservative." On the January 10 edition of Fox News' Hannity, host Sean Hannity suggested Loughner was a liberal, saying, "Almost immediately, without any evidence -- knowledge about the shooter who he is -- The New York Times, others, say this pot-smoking communist manifesto, mind comp, student who gets kicked out of school was somehow a conservative." [Fox News' Hannity, 01/10/11 accessed via Nexis]
Hannity Cites Classmate To Call Loughner A "Left-wing Pot Head."
Geller: "Loughner's mental illness is as obvious as his leftism."
Hoft Complains AP "Blame[d] Palin & Tea Party For Shootings By Marx-Supporting Liberal Lunatic."
Beck: Is The Left "Creating" Or "Exploiting" The AZ Shooting? On his Fox News show, Glenn Beck declared that progressives were trying to "silence or discredit the opposition," which he claims they've been "trying to do for years."
Hannity Panel Agree: "[T]here Is A Witch-Hunting Mentality On The Left."

another example of onceler's dishonest hackery, i never said that, but christie did in fact say you can't criticize the left about violent imagery.

Yurt. The left SHOULD be criticized for violent imagery and incendiary rhetoric.
For example, do you remember when MoveOn ran an ad calling Petraeus "General Betrayus"? I criticized the ad on the AOL forum and I wrote a nasty letter to MoveOn for using that tactic.
I also wrote to Hillary, criticizing her for nasty attacks on Obama before the primary in 2008. These are the first two I recall and I know there were more.
What did you do that's equivalent, yurt? Did you write to the Sleazeboaters for Truth(!) when they slandered Kerry's military record? Did you write to Slick Scaife when he started to Arkansas project to slander Clinton and try to remove him from office?
I hate when Dems stoop to repub smear tactics and I let them know it. There just seems to be so much more of it coming from the right nowadays.

Well, you don't have to SAY something like that. When 95% of your posts about him are fawning adjulation & apologism, one can certainly infer it.

Damn, you lie.
"Yurt. The left SHOULD be criticized for violent imagery and incendiary rhetoric."
Furthermore, your lame attempt to deflect from Gateway Pundit's photoshopping is duly noted.

Uh, people who understand context know that referred to the photoshopping business.
Next?
Huh? Christie hasn't even made an offer to leave the board, and you have no problem frantically finding quotes from him?
Inexplicable...

no you didn't, you didn't refer to just that one photoshop, you said "imagery"...you did not refer to any specific imagery
so your claim is that "imagery" meant only that one photoshop? because your sentence as plainly read and in context does not say that.

do you have OCD? will you either stfu about it or produce your own links. until then, you get nada from me.
but go ahead and spazz out in yet another thread about your inability to provide links while calling others liars for not producing links.
No need to get all testy. I had made you a nice offer, and I'm just confused as to why you didn't take it, that's all...
Maybe she means this imagery....none of it photo-shopped....all authentic left wing hate

A perfect example of why it's impossible for most people to carry on a convo with you. My post was solely about photoshopping a Daily Kos article but you want to extend those comments to every post, every thread and every comment I ever made. You filter everyone's remarks through your RW-slanted prism and then spam the threads with your phony theories hoping to convince... who?.... that you're right.
Fear not, yurtie. The blind adherents will stick by you and the rest will just shake their heads and laugh.

christie, settle down, you're having a hissy fit and getting all emotional and personal...
so according to you, no one can have a convo with me because i filter what everyone says....ok....explain how i filtered your comment:
im·age·ry
n. pl. im·age·ries
1. A set of mental pictures or images.
imagery is plural, a set of more than one picture or images. you said imagery, how could i possible have read that to mean you were only referring to "one" picture?
please explain.

Because I introduced the topic of photoshopping the Daily Kos article by a RW site, that's why. We were talking specifics, not generalities.
Btw, did you read my comments about MoveOn and Hillary?

your topic is irrelevent. you could easily being saying that because they lied about this, they're lying about other things. it is said all the time to refute a source.
and since you used a plural form for image, remind me again how it is i can't converse with people when i read your sentence exactly how it should be read in english....
see, you either made a mistake and are now backtracking or you simply can't admit you made a grammatical error and i made zero mistake in reading your post. if you use the plural form, then any common sense reading will interpret that as talking about more than one image.
care to try again...
