I have a vote and I'm not afraid to use it!

"Edit: (7:45am CST) I just noticed how much your post changed after I wrote this one. Interesting that you'd log on to change it but not respond to this one."

Then someone has access to my login, b/c your post showed up AFTER I turned the computer off and went to bed. I was waiting for you to reply, then gave up ....

For the record:

There are OBVIOUS differences between the two sites.

-----------------------

ONE SITE is SPECIFICALLY set up for a PERSONAL attack against Kerry for three things spanning 35 years.

One was telling the truth rather than covering it up in Congressional hearings. One was some remark which went unspecified. And one for was a muffed joke.

It calls him - without basis - a traitor, treasonous, an enemy propagandist and other heinous names. It inflames its readers to engage in personal attacks. And it directs PERSONAL HATE EMAIL to Kerry.

My take: since the group knows there is nothing illegal about anythihng that Kerry did they are doing the extra-legal internet lynching the right has so successfully launched in the past against others.

--------------------

The OTHER SITE calls for legal POLITICAL action. It bases that call on DOCUMENTED FACTS. It's not engaged in extra-legal activities.

--------------------

My take - unfortunately, there are people here who are so hate-filled they have become delusional. And there are other people here who have a vested interest in purposefully propagandizing this board.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

Apparently Geezer doesn't want to discuss the specifics of each site. Too bad.

Reality sucks. Especially when it contradicts our cherished ideas.

"... do you really believe that the liberal left hasn't done just as much harm to this country as the conservative right?"

I was sincere when I asked you for a list of all the harm the 'liberal left' has done. I'm still hoping you reply.

International lawyers file suit against Rumsfeld in Germany

by Aurelia End
Tue Nov 14, 12:52 PM ET

BERLIN (AFP) - An international grouping of lawyers filed a lawsuit calling on German prosecutors to investigate outgoing US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld for allegedly sanctioning torture.

The 220-page suit is being brought on behalf of 11 former Iraqi detainees of the notorious Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad and one Saudi currently held at the US prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

The suit was filed to Germany's federal prosecutor Monika Harms at her offices in the southwestern city of Karlsruhe.

German law allows the pursuit of warcrimes cases regardless of where they originate in the world

Me too. Nothing ruins a good discussion like a drive-by comment.

Sure, but none of it helps.
My must unite against a common enemy, the alliance. Also, anger never helps. get a puppy or something, and chill. One side is not nastier than the other, there is a ton of nastiness out there. Partisan politics is a bitter pointless power struggle. Don't get caught up in the self-feeding anger. It's damaging. Find something less stressful. Kaneman, I assume you are refering to, is a lying troll., there's not really much point to reading his posts. I've taken to not reading citizen's if it's over two or three lines.

just a spot check, imho

I've got to disagree with the statement that one side is not nastier than the other. I am a self-professed liberal. I can turn on talk radio and hear how liberals are traitors. I can hear radio hosts with millions of listeners fantasize about getting rid of liberals and keeping a few in a zoo as an exhibit. I can go to the bookstore and read titles by prominent rightist pundits saying that liberals are the enemy. Titles that sell millions of copies. There are millions of followers in this country who use the word liberal as an epithet.

One side, the right, makes millions of dollars spewing eliminationist rhetoric about a whole class of people.

There are millions of Americans who think that I, and the millions like me, should be killed simply for what we believe.

And that's not nasty?

"Anyway, so much for reasoned discussion from the right."

Ruse, good to see you still up to your old tricks. Do you really believe there is a difference between the right or left? I am referring to the kool-aid drinking extremists in both parties.

Speaking of nasty people, this is from the right-wing rag TownHall -

bamas_evil_in_rick_warrens_pulpit

Warren is ready to turn over the spiritual mantle to a man (Obama) who represents the views of Satan at worst or progressive anti-God liberals at best in most of his public positions on the greatest moral tests of our time.

-----------

Now THIS is a prime example of demonizing the opposition - a common tactic of right-wingnuts. In fact I chose this one because it so literally does that.
