[> [> [> [> "More baseless preaching that won't go without rejoinder" Do these comments qualify as well? -- Richard, 23:27:14 10/09/02 Wed (pcp01902285pcs.coatsv01.pa.comcast.net/68.83.144.23)

"Because they are evil, murdering muthafukkas" (This is a comment about Muslims, note that there's no attempt to avoid including all Muslims in this vicious and hateful smear. Oh, and really nice language, too. Shows real class)

"The Democrats have revealed themselves to be dishonest, criminals, liars, rapists, deceivers, hate and race mongers, racists, stokers of the fires of caste and class envy, and anti-United States, anti-Constitution, and pro-Socialist and pro-Communist and pro-US enemies and pro-US and Israel and Jew haters." (I wonder where's the hard proof to back *those* wild contentions. Can we also suggest "baseless"?)

"First Ted Dasshole, now Ted Krimedy...." (again, very nice language. What has Tom Daschle done besides offer a view point you don't agree with? Is this what you think is proper discourse, call someone a vicious name simply because you disagree with them?

"I find both Daschle and Kennedy to be repugnant, repulsive, convulsive, sickening, self serving, selfish, hateful, vindictive, dishonest, deceptive, uncooperative, disloyal, despicable, delirious, deranged, derailed, decrepit, distorted, demented, devious, delirious, duplicitous, and downright disgusting! And that I am being terse in my assessment and my post! Excuse me while I go and vomit!" (I have already, but not for the reasons you would expect)

I consider myself a conservative but I am embarrassed by this display. If any of this is supposed to be humor it's not at all funny. It's stuff like this that gives conservatives a bad name. No wonder many people unfairly characterize conservatives as knee jerk reactionaries with IQs in the double digits. You are no better than the liberals you obviously despise.

Does anyone here remember where the "high road" lies? I wonder. Are your lives really so decrepit and empty that you need to vent so viciously like this to feel better about yourselves?

I'm sorry, but it has to be said. I don't understand why supposedly intelligent and educated people have to act in this self-degrading manner. Every once and a while, people need to look in the mirror at themselves to find out if they still can stomach the reflection.

[> [> [> [> [> [> I guess that since there wasn't the (NT) at the end of the post, you didn't remember to click on the link to get the rest of the message, which would have provided all the context you would have needed. Then your weak attempt at being a wise ass would have been unnecessary. -- Richard, 23:16:08 10/11/02 Fri (pcp01902285pcs.coatsv01.pa.comcast.net/68.83.144.23)

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> Oh, I read them all, thanks, including my own contributions therein. I maintain my statement. These statements IN CONTEXT mean something different from plucking them out and hanging them randomly. You've cited circumstantial evidence, not didactic. BTW how does calling me a wise-ass put you on the high road, when you never took the time to understand what I was saying? -- Spock, 13:53:34 10/14/02 Mon (user-vc8fm1s.biz.mindspring.com/216.135.216.60)

[> [> [> [> [> Hey there pat! Hope you have been well. No, they can't...but they sure are amusing. They are just frantic at this point. Yet nothing to contribute...only the same old vitriol - repackaged. Guess that fax machine is stuck on 'resend'. Nothing new to see here, folks...let's move along. -- JL ; ), 22:34:26 10/11/02 Fri (pcp01376707pcs.selrsv01.pa.comcast.net/68.80.69.241)
