Yes, it is VERY inflammatory, and that's why it was so alarming, and got such a strong response.

You authored the introduction of the post, and stated "The Full Article Here(link)".
You then went on with an inflammatory header in bold print,
and stated "This was reported in Reuters..."

The original article is about an un-inflammatory as dust bunnies.

That was an attempt to misconstrue an article from 2009,
and now give an "I didn't write it" adekian excuse.







I know... "adekian" and the latter smilie used here are redundant,
but I do apologize to the creator of the smilie.

Good news!
Code:
Susan Rice ends bid to succeed Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State
The big liar is out!

@Lamplighter: Already stated, I did not author this:

Subject: Obama Takes First Step in Banning All Firearms On Wednesday Obama Took the First Major Step in a Plan to Ban All Firearms in the United States.


That was an example of the "yellow journalism" that gun owners were seeing red about in 2009.

Sticking with the color metaphors today.

Not just the NRA, every right-wing wingnut group is pumping out tons of emails, tweets, and blog posts that are so incredibly wrong, blatant lies. Any bad news will be spun to make it Obama's fault, occasionally blame the democrats, but usually just Obama. If there's no bad news they'll conjure something up out of thin air.

I get emails that have been forwarded over and over (sometimes a hundred addresses on them), which can disproven with one quick Google search. Sometimes they even contain links that totally disprove them, but nobody bothers to click, they just forward in a rage because it says what they want to hear.

Yes you did. You are the only person who brought it to the cellar. It was not even in the article you linked to. You created it. If you heard it somewhere else, you still brought it here and attempted to tie it to the subject at hand.

Take personal responsibility for what you say.

One more time: No, I did not.

It was the content of the website that had the link to the article. I brought it here, to show WHY gun owners were so alarmed, in 2009, and calling their representatives, in Washington, about it.

And just HOW LIBERAL are YOU?

Carlos in Ocala Florida has decided to fight in court for his civil right to have sex with his "consenting" Donkey:

http://www.ocala.com/article/2012091...CLES/120919696

Which is REALLY funny, because Conservative Roger Hedgecock (of the RH Show), said this would happen, if gay marriage rights were granted, many years ago. <ROFL!>

On the fiscal cliff negotiations, Obama is now engaged directly in the negotiations, but it makes no difference.

Not one penny <note the bettre spelling, you grammar Nazi's!> has been offered in spending cuts.

All the "cuts" that have been offered to date, are for cuts in the amount of deficit spending. So we continue to race into insolvency, but at a slightly slower pace.

Obama - the true liberal, will not countenance any ACTUAL spending cuts, so far.

Well no, a long history exists of: donkey, horse, sheep, and dog fucking that has been going on since forever, it is even in the Bible(Leviticus 18: v 23
"Do not have sexual relations with an animal and defile yourself with it. A woman must not present herself to an animal to have sexual relations with it, that is a perversion. ").
Bestiality is not new, nor is it condoned the man when to jail and had is donkey taken away.

Furthermore, the whole thing that is missed in the arrangements against marriage equality is that it is NOT ILLEGAL TO ENGAGE IN HOMOSEXUALITY; everything that het married couples do homo couples to as well, they just pay hire taxes for doing it.

So really you just want a buttsex tax.

Adek is sounding more Merc-ian all the time.

Obama is no longer a Socialist, but now is called out as a "true liberal" !
Yea ! I felt there was hope for him all along.

But how long will it be until we have a post about Obama having sex with a donkey
That post will connect the donkey, as an allegory of a consenting Democrat,
with a link to an article that Michelle is pregnant again... whether she is or not.

Culpability will be denied.... such is the adekian way

All socialists are "true" liberals, but I'd never smear Obama with a story like this one. Obama has enough to answer for, on his own.

The donkey story was just for a laugh. The real comedy is that Roger Hedgecock has been stating that this civil rights claim would be made, if the gay rights movement made progress. People have been "beating" Roger up about this prediction, for years now.

Now, here it is, just as Roger predicted. Funny stuff!

From this, it follows that all conservatives are "true" facists.

What other "true" terms shall we throw about ?

I must have missed the civil rights claim. Was there one? It's not in the article cited.

I love slippery slope arguments. Everyone makes them, for and against. Guns, abortion, you name it. I'm sure someone made the donkey argument in Loving v. Virginia, which struck down miscegenation laws against interracial marriage.

The point is that it always comes the the 'reasonable person' argument. That middle of the road man or woman who draws the line.

Adak, I'm pretty sure I know where you would have come down on Loving v. Virginia. The reason you don't say so now is the same reason no one else does - that what seemed radical, heretical, and against tradition to a large number of people turned out to be rational public policy.

Look at the 'biblical' justification by the segregationist judge ruling against the couple. The wave of ignorance coming off a man in a position of trust is terrifying.

Quote:
Almighty God created the races white, black, yellow, malay and red, and he placed them on separate continents. And but for the interference with his arrangement there would be no cause for such marriages. The fact that he separated the races shows that he did not intend for the races to mix.
We evolve, Adak. The reason Christians are not still burning people at the stake or in other ways acting as atrociously as some conservative Muslims is that 'liberal' forces as well as a few hundred years of internal bloodshed have acted upon the church. There is still ethnic strife involving Christian populations, but none of it is sanctioned. People evolve, religions evolve. Maybe at some point they will go too far, but I for one am glad that noone listened to the Adaks of the past who fought for tradition and belittled change.

Jesus was all for the mixing of races and equality. God was against the mixing of animals, and wearing clothing made from more than one fabric.(But that is OT stuff and we are supposed to live in the spirit of the law not bounded to the letter so I think wool and manbearpig is still ok)
