Jesus christ do you see everything as black or white? What a simpleminded post.
A loving person can't hate someone who hurt those who he loves? A good person can't do something bad to actually help people? Being compassionate doesn't mean someone has to have blinders on him and be compassionate to every person on earth. Only a moron puts everything in the same basket.
first, let me say i'm sorry for attacking you. i was buzzing last night pretty hard, so i was letting my emotions get the better of me. seeing this thread turn into the ewok party at the end of return of the jedi just because a radio host might die made me turn red. it seemed like this behavior was not only acceptable to you, but quite necessary. of course, it didn't have to be full of responses like "oh golly hope he pulls through," but it didn't have to be a bunch of "aw hell yeah" "he's an asshole so i don't care if he dies" "first he needs to be tortured and then killed." all because of what he
says. he's more stupid than he is evil.
a liberal's strength is through their compassion. so seeing a celebration, and then disappointment because he lived, is quite strange and uncharacteristic. these psychos don't need to be defended, they need to be exposed as the frauds they are. they celebrate for limbaugh, but when ted kennedy passed, he was treated like beowulf just died. he was quite old to begin with, and not only did he leave someone to drown, he helped push through nafta and gatt, two of the most sinister and traitorous bills in existence. yet many tears were shed.
on what you were saying about morality... your examples are missing something relevant to the limbaugh thing, and that's death. when someone dies, that's it for them. i'd rather get raped 50 times over than die. a truly compassionate person feels at least a little bad for someone who died, unless this person was totally evil. limbaugh's just a radio host, and being a racist and a sexist and a liar is not exactly evil. if it was, then this earth is truly satan's playground.
My tag as far as I'm concerned is a mark of shame that I deserve and want because it reminds me not to be so naive next time, not follow the hype and read more about someone including sources that are considered fringe by some.
aw don't feel so bad. i almost voted for him myself. i even registered to vote just to vote for him. he cast such a hopeful view of the future, and after eight years of bush, and all his war and shredding of the constitution, we needed change and that's what he offered. i didn't know that he was the largest receiver of campaign donations, nor did i know that he worked for a cia front company after college. i didn't bother to inform myself. it was only my gut that told me not to vote for him. no, you should be proud that you wanted change for america, and it should be obama who should be ashamed.

I can't believe how many idiots watch Obama campaign for years and still couldn't comprehend his positions. Leftist tea baggers, except dumber.
hey, i don't remember him running on a platform of being bush's third term. i remember the words "a new washington" crossing his lips, but it's business as usual. he said that there'd be no lobbyists, and it's almost his entire cabinet. sure, he said we'd go to war with afghanistan to chase the terrorists, but he didn't say anything about going after the rest of the middle east. he said the iraq war would be ended, but instead replaced most of the soldiers with sadistic private military. he trashed bush for signing statements and reaching around congress, but it's like his favorite thing now. i don't remember him ever telling people that he's only a minion of wall street, that the dark horse TARP would still be trucking along even a year later, and that trillions of dollars would be looted.
no, i remember him saying that he's gonna fix everything and that he will obey the constitution. that's why people voted for him. instead, everything that bush brought, from the targeting of american people as terrorists, to the surveillance, to the shipping prisoners to other countries to be tortured, to the looting, to the wars, every bad thing that bush has done, he's not only kept it, but expanded on it. people did not vote for this, they voted for the angel during the campaign. now that everybody knows who he is, his approval rating dropped almost instantly. it seems like the only place with love left for obama is gaf :lol
