Why do you think I am so terribly upset? I am not. I am merely pointing out the double standards I see. We heard 8 years of whiny leftwing liberals bitching and moaning about every aspect of the Bush Dynasty. Now the Liberal Dems are acting the same way and behaving the same way. I am just trying to understand how this can be so easily accepted. Not ok for one group but ok for the other.

Ok. You're not upset.

TheMercenary · 11-18-2008, 07:55 PM

Ok. You don't want to have an intelligent discussion about the issues or facts surrounding the obvious double standard.

Because there is no issue, there is only you predicting what will happen.

TheMercenary · 11-19-2008, 01:12 AM

Ok. Well I don't see it like that. Give me a break, I am predicting not a fucking thing. I am commenting on observation related to the posted article.

I see it as a statement of the very first post, with comments about the involvement of radical Left-wing nut organizations in what should be and otherwise peaceful transition of power. And according to the reports in the posted article, that is not at all what is happening. If the Swift-Boat dudes were in bed with Bush, which they were not, the libs would be fucking draining spittle across their screens in an epieiptic fit. But instead we have a passive double standard of acceptance, like all is well as these radical elements interject themselves into the political process. So own up. Is is it ok for the Left-wingnut radical elements of the left to do it but not ok for the right when they were in power?

What exactly is so radical about CAP that you liken them to the swiftboaters? Would you characterize Fox as radical too then?

Shawnee123 · 11-19-2008, 10:54 AM

Oooh oooh ooh I know the answers [/Horschak]

1) Soro is not VP

annnnddddd (my better point)

2) Saying lefties bitched for 8 years is highly untrue. I myself didn't start bitching until Bush really started fucking things up, so probably it was 7 years. Can you wait until Obama starts fucking up to start your bitching? kthxbai

Not that this was directed at me, but there are some elements of CAP that are extreme and yes, to me, same opinion of Fox as well. The difference there is one is a supposed "news outlet" and the other is apparently advising the President.

Trilby · 11-19-2008, 06:42 PM

and Cheney---he's not considered extreme? Hmmmmm. Interesting.

Pico and ME · 11-19-2008, 07:40 PM

What elements of of the Center for American Progress are extreme, Classic? And they are being used by the president for ideas...thats a little different than being 'advised'. But even so, I still dont get how they are far left and radical. What is far left and radical to you?

Yes he is, but Cheney was elected.

Soros for one. Yes it is different, on that we agree. Anything far left/liberal from the mainstream views of most Americans.

Pico and ME · 11-19-2008, 08:46 PM

Well thanks for that non-answer. I was hoping for something a little more enlightening from you...like examples of those far left views that CAP would represent. Oh, and what is so extreme about Soros? Is it just that he spent a lot of money trying to defeat Bush?

Pico and ME · 11-20-2008, 02:02 PM

Classic?

I'm guessing you don't want to share anymore? I only ask because I'm pretty tired of the radical left label being flung around willy nilly without any real qualification for what it means in the real world. I was hoping to gain some insight into how you define it. I'm concerned that it is used too easily as a way to discredit everyday liberal ideas.

classicman · 11-20-2008, 02:36 PM

Nope, I guess I'm just one of the many ill or uninformed. I apparently have no fucking idea what I am thinking or saying. I'm pretty fed the fuck up right about now to be honest. Therefore, I don't want to share anymore - thanks for asking though.
