That's irrelevant, Redworm. The fact is the question was tossed about. All references to it were redacted from his blog, due to the fact that it revealed the true colors of those who were talking about it.is Bill Maher running for office on a Democrat ticket?
From what I have read, it was also discussed on Democratic Underground.November 11, 2004
Democratic Party Crack-up
Today Best of the Web linked to a discussion thread on Bill Maher's site where Democrats debate the ethical question: Is it proper to shoot Republicans? Read it here, and contemplate the sad fact that these morons are American citizens, and some of them actually vote!
1. If you think I'm on the far left then you haven't been paying attention.Redworm, what bunch a crap.
When did you folks on the far left ever care about who was forced to pay for goverment services. Why don't you tell us why we all pay for killing little defensless babies??????????
Source?College campuses are liberal indoctrination camps. The kids and the so called professors openly admitt to it on a daily basis.
So is conservativism.Face it, liberalism is a mental disorder and it makes no sense to the sane.
It's not irrelevant. So no politician actually made that statement. It was a joke tossed out by a comedian. You may not like what he's saying but he has the right to say it; not once was it considered a "threat" to anyone. In the end you're still taking a statement made by one man and applying it to an entire group of people. You're insinuating that politicians running under the Democratic Party have actually suggested shooting their collegues.That's irrelevant, Redworm. The fact is the question was tossed about. All references to it were redacted from his blog, due to the fact that it revealed the true colors of those who were talking about it.
Here's a reference to it from Power Line:
Handy, this is one of the most lame and indefensible posts you have offered in recent memory - and that's saying alot. Talk of killing people is not funny, nor is it to be taken lightly. Talk about shooting Bush in the presence of the nearest police officer and see how funny he/she finds your "humor."Steelheart, this would be another good time to remind you that many people on earth have this thing called a "sense of humor". Bill Mahr, for instance, makes his living from this thing you lack, and is a professional "comedian". Not understanding those terms, I'm not surprised you confused what you read with an actual wish, rather than a statement of "jest". (All the words in quotes are available in dictionaries. Even conservative dictionaries.)
Wrong. The fact that it was even discussed is what's relevant.It's not irrelevant.
I never said a Democrat politician made the statement - their followers and voters did. It was not made by a comedian - it was posted by Democrat voters on various message boards and blogs. You are attempting to misdirect and deflect from the fact that Democrats were discussing killing Republicans.So no politician actually made that statement. It was a joke tossed out by a comedian.
Maybe you thought it was cute - I took it as a threat, just like if anyone else would threaten to shoot me. I'm funny that way.You may not like what he's saying but he has the right to say it; not once was it considered a "threat" to anyone.
Nope. Wrong again. I never said it was all Democrats who were talking about shooting Republicans. I defy you to quote me where I said "all" Democrats. you can't do it because I didn't say it.In the end you're still taking a statement made by one man and applying it to an entire group of people.
As I said earlier, I did not say Democrat politicians were advocating shooting their colleagues - or anyone. Their followers were the ones talking about it. Again, more baseless and untrue fabrications on your part.You're insinuating that politicians running under the Democratic Party have actually suggested shooting their collegues.
Free speech as long as it's speech you agree with, right? If you think he's the first comedian to make a joke about shooting someone then I would recommend watching Comedy Central once in a while. You might be surprised to learn that some people can seperate fantasy from reality and joke about things they don't actually intend to do.Wrong. The fact that it was even discussed is what's relevant.
How many of their followers and voters? A dozen? A hundred? A million? You're still taking the opinions of a few people and applying them to an entire group and you're still missing the point of the joke.I never said a Democrat politician made the statement - their followers and voters did. It was not made by a comedian - it was posted by Democrat voters on various message boards and blogs. You are attempting to misdirect and deflect from the fact that Democrats were discussing killing Republicans.
Maybe you thought it was cute - I took it as a threat, just like if anyone else would threaten to shoot me. I'm funny that way.
Yet you expect people to stand for it when you twist theirs? You didn't have to add a modifier "(but not all of them)"; proper grammar would have you simply change it to "a Democrat asked the question..."Nope. Wrong again. I never said it was all Democrats who were talking about shooting Republicans. I defy you to quote me where I said "all" Democrats. you can't do it because I didn't say it.
Yet another of your attempts to twist my words. I won't stand for it, Bub.
people basically laughed at me and said theres nothing we can do. BS! If Bush wins, we have to stand up and take our country back. Whatever country Malloy was talking about, where the president there wouldnt leave and the people came out in masses and forced him to leave. There's only one war I support, and it's a new civil war. A battle for our country back. Bring em on!
And who was threatened? No reasonable person would think that he was threatening every Republican in the country. Defend the indefensible? It was a ****ing joke.Free speech does not apply to threatening people's lives.
Because there has never been a thread on THIS forum or on THR saying the exact same damn thing.So there you go: Democrats (the "enlightened and tolerant people of good will and compassion") calling for bloodshed and war to overturn the will of the people as expressed in the 2004 election.
