Broad brush there much, big guy?

For the record, it's been in so-called "enlightened" liberal havens such as Boston, Los Angeles, and New York where I've witnessed the greatest/worst examples of racism.

But you are inferring that it is conservatives and more to the point Tea Party members that are the ones using what you deem as racist terms.  Do some of them?  Sure.  Do a majority or even close to a majority do so?  Not form what I've seen.  I've met far more racist liberals than I have conservatives.

You sir, are using a pretty broad brush without providing any substantiating evidence to support your claims.

Hey, you asked for a source.  I gave it to you.  Don't attack me, attack the ones using the words.
 
Racism is alive in all races.  I never said it wasn't.  Nor did I say that all Tea Partiers were racist.  What I'm saying is that there is indeed a racist element alive and well in the movement.  You guys need to surgically remove it or, as I said earlier, that will be the string that unravels what you're trying to do.
 

On that note, the PD bought me a brand new bicycle.  I'm fixin to jump on it and knock out 20-30 miles, so discuss amongst yourselves for a bit.  :)

Why should I surgically remove another person's freedom of expression or speech?  Even if I disagree with it?

I'll leave that shit to the liberals.

I suppose it goes to: what IS the Tea Party?

If pro-ObamaCare people tried to attach themselves to the movement the TP would probably say no.

People have a right to be pro-ObamaCare but are those the voices you want shouting beside you when  trying to advocate?

So  moving down the list of things people can say freely but do we want them saying it freely beside us we come to the topic racism.

Hi, I'm a new to the forums but I noticed something, if you don't mind my input.

The thread is, "One way to make our point" and you're suggesting that the left wants to kill freedom of speech. That sounds a little absurd. I think maybe we should differentiate the political spectrum. "The left" is not MSNBC. Nor is it the democratic party. Those institutions are "centered" as one can only imagine them being. "The Left" is much more opposed to all sides of the political spectrum, as there is a lot of misery in this world most of which goes unnoticed, we need freedom of speech first and foremost. Otherwise we'd be communistic (more so than now, with State funding to produce growth and healthy regulations) but a much worse communistic society than Russia, as we would have no social services as a floor to stand on. Without freedom of speech and other little rights here and there, we'd be in a dungeon (worse than the Allegory Cave we're in now).

So how do you get your point across to a person of another spectrum? Try to base your argument off of what the Republicans have done, as in cold facts, as opposed to what we "deserve" because as often as it is touted, we rarely get what we "deserve" from either spectrum's. The worst thing you can do is insult them or their intelligence, that will lead no where and discussion is ruined immediately.

He was a mass murderer on the scale of Pal Pot. So no, I don't. If you look into his records (I assume you won't it's hard to envision any man as sinister as he much less accept the fact) you will find his victims. And they are mostly Mexicans (not to be confused with the Cartel) and Priests trying to bring minor land reforms and a radical Christian message that would date Pre-Constantine. He's ****ed up the economy beyond repair. And when I say "he" I mean Goldman Sachs. If you look at the economic polls post Reagan years and after, you will see the extent to which his financial hell is still weighing down on the general public. If there ever was a Satan, this was him.

It's Pol Pot, not Pal Pot.  I thought you liberals knew how to spell the names of famous liberals.

It was a mistake, and he was as usual a ruthless dictator to which we have owned many. This still, however, is not indicating true or false statements. So, this isn't logical our interaction. This is you lobbing insults and slights with no real substance.


The next statement, will also contain no substance.
