Plenty of people have called Merc out for his beliefs before, it's just that many people have come to realize that there are some things he just wont change his mind about. The same could be said for many people who post on internet forums.

I don't believe he's the evil person you might think he is Red. Really...he's not.

More of the same.

A party you have ever right to dislike.

But beyond that, with the Nazi references. it demonstrates your own ignorance.

I fully support your party's right to try to redefine the Constitution. I just don't think the people are going to put with it.

Well Hitler was a Nazi and a racist, so it'd be ok to call him that.

History might demonstrate that Merc is correct...or it might not. I don't know enough about the people you're talking about to know either way, but he has a right to express his opinion, as do you.

Bullshit.

Nothing that Pelosi and/or the Democrats have done is in any way comparable to the worst crimes against humanity in the last century.

It is ignorance and intolerance...pure and simple.

Well I happen to agree with you Red, but others may not.

FWIW, I don't think Merc thinks they're that evil either, but it is a title attributed to people with certain views and who have demonstrated certain behaviours. There must be a reason he feels the way he does.

Sorry, you cant rationalize such ignorant comments or characterizations.

It is a title that should not be accepted by any rational intelligent person.

Much of the divisiveness in this country is due, to some degree, to such hateful rhetoric.

To ignore it is to condone it.

If the shoe fits, you will have to wear it.

Many people think like me. This Congress is out of control and needs to be stopped at all costs in the next election via peaceful means. And they will be stopped.

The circle goes round...

I hope you, or anyone anywhere in the world. never experience the atrocities of Nazism again....It certainly wont happen in the US. regardless of what you espouse.

And I hope, when you open your mind a bit, you will see your comments for the ignorance they represent.

What is frightening to me is that you might actually believe that.

And if you do...it that kind of thinking that poses the greatest danger to this country.

This country is only in danger because of the people who currently are in the majority of Congress combined with a Demoncrat in the presidents office.

I would fully support a Congress of one party and a president of another party, but 8 years of Bush have shown us that a party of one in the White House and Congress is a bad combination and that needs to be rectified at all costs, through legal means..... That bitch Pelosi needs to go and Reid will be voted out anyway.
