glatt - Have you gone to both rallies or are you making that assumption based upon media coverage?

"They" very nice.

Much of liberal policy has helped to improve the lives of the everyday working person and to also protect them from the abuses that would caused by unregulated businesses. Its that same liberal ideology that led us out of the world of Sinclair's The Jungle.
And you believe all the conservative policy is bad and icky. Gotcha.

Again, I thought the rally was a good thing (third time stating that point)
BUT ......
It was a political rally and there were negative and hateful signs there. I have proved that point repeatedly.

I do believe sensible regulation is needed, especially in banking, but remember that The Jungle was essentially a work of fiction used to drive earlier regulation. Left to its own ends, the left would clog all economic activity with unrelenting regulation destroying mostly small businesses, which don't have the where-with-all to negotiate the red tape. The right, left to its own ends, would work to enslave and poison us all by protecting monopoly and subverting environmental regulations. Both parties seem to be working to shield big business from a competitive marketplace, which makes sense when you look at their donors.

Thanks Griff. Very well said/written/posted.

Sorry Pico - just being what was it? Twerpy or a Dick or ...

You don't believe that the Tea Partiers are being directed?
I would assume so - All of these things are.

I'll ask you the same of the Rally.

I have been to a tea party rally in DC and I know several people who attended the Comedy Central rally on Saturday, and I looked at their pictures and heard what they had to say. I also watched 45 minutes of it online.

Do you think your examples of "negative" sign photos are even remotely close to accurately portraying the vibe at the Comedy Central rally?

NO! Not at all - I NEVER SAID IT WAS! :mad2:

Again ... I said the rally was a good thing (4x now)
I simply brought up the point that it was a political rally and there were hateful signs there as well. That is all.

I was pushed to prove both points and I did - repeatedly.

Thanks for clarifying that the pictures you posted and repeatedly defended don't reflect what you think. Surely you can understand my confusion though. I saw you say the rally was good, but then you started posting negative pictures and defending them. It seemed like you were changing you mind about the rally.

I guess we don't need him to have an ugly thread.

Mhm. Leaving the Cellar, and the field, to the people of freedom, which, being a Democratic Party Kool-Aid carrier, he was definitely not.

Hasn't, in the end, the courage of his convictions. Not compared to the likes of Classic, Merc, and me.

Spexx, m'dear, "ugly" is a word better spelt F R E E and A D U L T, as in adult thinking, which is something that just prevents you remaining on the Left.

Why does an attempt at presenting all the observations made come out as confusing? Could it be he's making the effort to be complete? Deliver the whole of the picture?

glatt 11-02-2010 10:52 AM

Complete would mean showing the 1000 normal funny signs and including the one "hate filled" sign along with them. Cherrypicking is not showing the complete picture. He even said that the sign he showed doesn't reflect the vibe of the rally.

Realllyyyyyyyy, now. THAT is interesting. When someone else I know asked for the same consideration he was told "we don't do that."

And how do you know anyway?

From the top to the bottom: fucking idiots.

Gooses and ganders only get gotten when gayly gathering posies for the asses of the articulate asshats.
