"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." -- William Casey, Reagan's presidential campaign manager & CIA Director (from first staff meeting in 1981)
Quote:Fox News contributor Frank Luntz on Monday made a suggestion about running over the nation’s first black president with his car. Appearing at an event with Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum in West Michigan, the GOP pollster warmed up the audience with a few jokes. Video of the event was captured by The Grand Rapids Press. “I actually have a ‘Run, Barack, Run’ bumper sticker, but I put it on the front of my car,” Luntz said.

Quote:Originally posted by Bytemite: Geezer: Side of beef with ribs, delivered alongside a firework salvo, served potluck style, with a keg. Because that's exactly the same thing the guy behind you would've ordered anyway. Ideally, pot luck ribs, alcohol, and fireworks would be provided anytime anyone goes out and about among the public. I dream of a more delicious and legendary world.

Quote: I found the whole thing a bit humorous, and titled it "Interesting..." because of Rappy's reaction to something I posted a few years back, when he got butt-hurt about it for days on end. I'd suggested something similar about a "Run, Sarah, Run!" sticker being placed on the front of a car, and he was rather insistent that I was therefore advocating violence against all women.

Man, you DO obsess over me far too much. So, when YOU bring up the idea of putting a certain bumper sticker on the front of your car, it's NOT promoting violence at women, but when someone else does it, it IS promoting violence against Obama, because he's black ? Does that sum it up accurately?

Quote:Originally posted by Bytemite: But perhaps it's more complicated than that too. After all, it may be impossible to defeat TPTB by playing by their rules. And when their time comes, they'd all better just hope we don't have kangaroo courts run by a Robespierre, but I wouldn't lose sleep over that scenario, considering what I think they've done to us. I don't really have much sympathy for pillagers, ravagers, and mass murderers.

Quote:Originally posted by AURaptor: The story, as it was presented, was biased from the very first line. Quote:Fox News contributor Frank Luntz on Monday made a suggestion about running over the nation’s first black president with his car. The reporter made that inference, as if it were being reported as fact.
Quote: And, of course, the point that Obama is " the nation's first black president " had to be added, to remind folks that we can't do or say ANYTHING negative about Obama , with out it being racially motivated.
Quote: And you might want to see to that obsession. You've not handed me any rope to hang myself, but you HAVE shown your OWN hypocrisy here. Bravo.
Quote: Maybe Kwickie can use some gingko biloba to recall WHY he wanted to put ' Run Sarah, Run' on his front bumper...
Quote: ...and how HIS joke differs so drastically from putting the same sort of sticker w/ Obama's name instead.

I don't really have much sympathy for pillagers, ravagers, and mass murderers. You ever wonder if maybe society NEEDS that, every once in a while - elsewise we wind up with letting them slither away and sleaze their way back into power over and over again, like they've done here? Admittedly not creating such monsters in the first place is the best long term solution, but consider that for all the horror involved Robespierre *DID* buy them a significant period of time without that kind of crap, and history prior to that is chock full of other examples where the pendulum swung and the high and mighty got it in the neck. Awful that such events are, having seen what happens when decent folk stay their hand instead, at point blank range right here.... I'd have to say I am definately leaning in a Robespierrian direction, if for no other purpose than to buy time so they don't blow this planet into a radioactive crater before we solve the real problem. -Frem I do not serve the Blind God.

So what is it you're whining about, then?
