Taverner
We are getting bent out of shape over a stupid piece of cloth (Occupy OAK)
It's a flag. Not a human being. Not an expensive piece of equipment, but a ****ing nylon and polyester flag.
Anyone who gets their teeth gnashing over a ****ing flag needs to find a new country to live in.
We are, at least in theory, supposed to have this right, to "freedom of speech." And yes, that includes the burning of flags.
Hell, if I were an Iraqi or an Afghani, I'd be burning American flags instead of wood right now.

That stupid piece of cloth at least has a purpose, unlike you Taverner you oxygen thief.

Go to hell, you ****ing worthless piece of shit.

I'd like to strangle that son of a bitch.

Say that shit to my face, mother****er. I can guarantee that by the time I am thru with you you will be spending the rest of your pathetic life on a ventilator. and when I come to visit you in the hospital I might "accidentally" unplug it...
*Sorry for the rage-fueled rant, but this pinhead Taverner pushes my buttons. I am generally a nonviolent man. But this loser takes the cake...

Well, move your U.S. flag hating ass to a country with a flag you like.....DUmmie.
-
You know, I dare the DNC to run an ad, show the flag being burned and run those comments from DU. Come on, do it, get all your money together for an ad.
This ad is paid for by supporters of Barack Obama.

What is really ironic, if I used pages of the Koran as TP, the f**got would probably damn near have a coronary...

Well, I'm disappointed. With Taverner silent for a while, I had high hopes that he had ODed himself. Oh well, it won't be long. I'm looking forward to some gravedancing when he finally hits on a hot fix.

I'd love to beat the **** out of that sumbitch. :bird:

As you were posting this I was bringing over another similar.
I don`t like to hate people but damn it is hard not to with these demented freaks.
-
Well, while I don't endorse such a thing, and wouldn't do it myself, or have anything to do with anyone who'd do it, I got a question for the Taverner primitive.
A cardboard shooting-range target showing the mug of the Magic One is just a piece of paper, right?
It's just paper, not a human being.
One wonders what the Taverner primitive would think of that, then.
-
A *STOLEN* flag, Taverner, you drug-addled ****wad.

Spoken like someone who has never spent one second of their life defending that "stupid piece of cloth", what it represents, or what it has meant to millions who have come here in search of a better life.
Bravo, DUmmie, bravo...
:clap:

In "The Longest Day," by Nicholas Ryan, about D-Day, there is a part where a sailor or soldier swam back to a sinking ship to rescue an American flag. To that man, and my own dad, and thousands of others who served and who still serve, that isn't just a piece of cloth. The stupid DUches have no idea what the flag means to all of us who think this is the greatest country on earth--and to the millions who would do anything to become citizens of this great land.

No, Taverner. If you were an Iraqi or Afghani, they'd be burning YOU right now.

7. Stupid piece of cloth or not
The vast majority of Americans do not like their flag burned.
The Occupy groups were seen as little fringe groups before, but now they are seen as radical little fringe groups.
They need to do PR control and nip this in the bud now.
The OWies have always and will always be a little fringe group. No matter how much you idiots lie and spin, all OWS is, is a bunch of spoiled brats with too much time on their hands.

17. No, everyone knows this, including those who burned the flag.
This threatens to turn a real, honest movement into a tantrum by spoiled children looking fior attention.
In other words it shows the world just what OWS is, a bunch of spoiled children looking for attention.

16. So it is "freedom of speech" to steal stuff and burn it?
I don't give a crap what anyone burns - as long as it is theirs.
This was an act of vandalism.
You sincerely believe you have a "right" to go into a public building, take stuff, and burn it?
Really?
Yes, yes he does.

67. Well, it is an inanimate object. And considering everything else that was done to PEOPLE that night
who were simply exercising their right to peacefully express their opinions, it seems way, way out of proportion to focus on an inanimate object rather than on all those who were beaten and injured by the OPD.
If you were to ask me, I am far more concerned about the illegal and brutal behavior of the OPD towards actual human beings than about the burning of a flag. But that's just me, I guess, well not really, a whole lot of people appear to feel that people ARE the priority, which is why this movement has been so successful so there is that.
They vandalized an inanimate object that was not their property, what part of that do you idiots not get? It's disgusting enough when one burns a flag they purchased, but this turns it into a crime.
Ughh they are disgusting creatures. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

And one more thing:
Taverner
...Hell, if I were an Iraqi or an Afghani, I'd be burning American flags instead of wood right now.
Why not go with something far less preposterous, you scum-sucking loser, like "If I was Superman on my daily patrol high above Metropolis," or "If I could hold a job or pass a drug test," or "If I caught a fart and painted it purple."

Well, while I don't endorse such a thing, and wouldn't do it myself, or have anything to do with anyone who'd do it, I got a question for the Taverner primitive.

I'm sure there was a DUmp thread about this story, but can't find it now.
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-201_162-57367434/ariz-cops-facebook-pic-targeting-obama-probed/
PEORIA, Ariz. - The Secret Service is investigating a picture that was posted on an Arizona police officer's Facebook page in which an image of President Barack Obama appears to have been used for target practice.
The Peoria Police Department is also investigating Police Sgt. Patrick Shearer and a picture that was uploaded on Jan. 19 showing several young men in the desert holding various weapons (including assault rifles and a revolver) and holding up a T-shirt with President Obama's likeness on it.
The shirt appeared riddled with bullet holes.

There's no probably to it.

Memo to Taverner--it's not "just a piece of cloth." It's what that piece of cloth REPRESENTS, you drug-soaked buffoon.
And if you ever feel the need to burn the flag, feel free to wrap it around yourself first.
-
I'm sure there was a DUmp thread about this story, but can't find it now.
Thank you, sir.
And so my question again, to the Taverner primitive.
It was just an image of the Magic One on a tee-shirt, a mere piece of cloth, getting riddled by bullets in target practice; that's all it was, just a picture and a piece of cloth.
And so surely the Taverner primitive has no problem with that.
-
Well, I'm disappointed. With Taverner silent for a while, I had high hopes that he had ODed himself. Oh well, it won't be long. I'm looking forward to some gravedancing when he finally hits on a hot fix.
Yeah, I was concerned for his absence too.
I speculated he might've been in jail--not for some cause as noble as protesting, but for purse-snatching or forgetting to pay child support.

Supporting children...that is so old fashion...that's the governments job now.

Burn a flag in my presence and I'll show you just how "bent out of shape" you will become.
I'll twist you into more shapes than a balloon animal.

DUmmie logic:
Burn an American flag? :yahoo:
Burn fossil fuels? :argh:
Urinate on a Crucifix? :yahoo:
Burn a Koran? :argh:
Disagree with President Barak Obama? :racist:
Call Former President George W. Bush any number of offensive names? :rofl:

10. Those who are getting bent out of shape don't know Oakland and once the whole
OPD gets placed under Federal control and they finally learn some of the local history, they will feel chagrin that they seemed to stand with OPD in anyway.
The Oakland Police Dept is going to be folded into Federal control? Anybody else hear of this?
Frank, someone at the DUmp poses your question:

You know who I'm really starting to hate? Sabrina. The way she rationalizes everything is maddening. If OWSers ate a baby on live TV, she would find some pretzel logic to explain away with a dismissive wave of her hand. And she goes on and on and on.

As said earlier, when the brave OWS patriots burn a koran I will be impressed. Until then just a bunch of pussies that a hundred years ago would have had the shit beat out of them, tarred, feathered, and taken out of town on a rail.
-
So how are the police to know that these morons were trying to burn down the City Hall with their "stupid piece of cloth"? I'm not even going to get into the fact that this is a flag that I sacrificed eight years of my life fighting under and God willing my husband will serve under for many more years.

You know, here DUmp Link (http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002251184) is a pretty good piece by Nuclear Unicorn. She tells them what for.

38. I was referring to equating DUers who don't meet the radical purity test with conservatives.
The fact is DUers come in basically three flavors: far left Social Democrats, extremely left socialists, and insanely left communists/Trotskyites. Whining that leftists are actually conservatives because some of us recognize it's folly to expect to bring down the government and institute a socialist utopia is rather silly and lacking in perspective.

It's a pretty good thread.

far as i'm concerned there is not enough of a beating that could be given to scum that hates the very country that gives them the freedoms they abuse.

Just a piece of cloth, to these people, say if one were to attack grandma and wrench off her wedding ring would this become just a piece of metal, no big deal?? Some one sets fire to their home and all the pictures of family are gone, just a bunch of paper tough luck buddy.
The flag belongs to us, to the people that have been born and died under it. These uneducated College students have no idea of what symbols mean to humans until something of little worth itself but having great meaning to them is stolen from them.
These people do not do this on their own, they have to be incited to do so from the older and so called smarter folks that are their teachers or part of the so called Comunity Representatives.
Don't have the money to pay for a cover charge at a hot spot, no reason to stay at home, come on down to a rally good place to meet hot chicks. Lots of fun marching in the street, never know when
some riot will break out, lots of hyped up folks ready to put on a show. ------ Controlled Hysteria, Like a rock Concert, before the opening just takes one person to yell out and half the audience cheers wildly for no reason.
Damn, people do not do this by themselves, has to be a pusher to incite them to burn our flag to bomb our buildings and just ask Patty Hurst why she rampaged into a bank with a submachine gun and posed with that gun in front of the SLA Liberty flag.
Oh then there are people like Billy Ayers, a brother to Obama, damn that Billy boy must be chomping to go back to his old days of , if you have no plans for next Friday night we are going to blow up the Statue of Liberty, want to come along and join in.?? No problem in 30 years I will be best friend and confident to the President.

These are the same people (& the term is used at it's most liberal definition) that were foaming at the mouth that Governor Brewer pointed her finger at 0bama?

Wonder how they'd react if a decent person burned a Red Chinese flag? Or a Venezuelan flag. Or Iranian?

Can we question their patriotism yet?
Taverner loves reveling in what a scumbag he is.

Well, to be fair, he has failed miserably at everything else he's ever done. Scumbag drug addict is about all he has left.

I'd say that there's another thing said piss-soaked primitive is good at--being a bad example for others.

A piece of cloth, just a piece of cloth they say.--------Why then do they get outraged about burning paper, just paper with words on it called the Koran.
Torture at Gitmo, prisoner's have to watch as Americans throw pieces of paper in the toilet or burn it. Darn we are barbarians to do such. Forget the 3 hots and medical care they get, kill them but do not burn those pieces of paper. this is worse then water boarding.
Not one peep when the Bible is burned, say it is only paper. Our Flag is only cloth, why the upset when it is burned?
What an evil country we are, we burn paper to torture others. Others burn just cloth, they have the right to do so but others have no right to burn paper.
I would like to see a Christian day set aside for the burning of only paper. One day a month where just paper is burned outside in a trash barrel outside all Christian Churches. Hell in the south this can become a comunity Pig Picken day for the town. so 1/10% of the fuel is just paper with words on it, might add flavor to the pork.
I am willing to sell my car to get money to any Christian church to openly advertise a paper burning in the spring.
Like the small church in the South that threatened to burn the Paper and people way off in the world rioted, Screw them.
Time to fish or cut bait------if we do not draw the bugs out of the wood pile now, 10 years from now we will have an infestation of the critters.
