Are the Tennessee senators hosting a town hall meeting?

[bubbiesdad]

Why bring up white or black in a town hall meeting thread?

He can't help it, typical left wingnut kneejerk reaction.

[Punisher84]

Ralph, I think you are on the wrong forum. I don't know how you got this lost while surfing for gay pride parades and Obama speech videos to masturbate too, but I'm surprised you didn't get whiplash from that left turn.

You have got to be the most ignorant person I've ever seen try to make a point.

[Mark@Sea]

Why bring up white or black in a town hall meeting thread?

For the same reason he hollers "racist" in every other thread. It's his stock reply to questions, criticism, and differing opinion. Its' also a handy dandy way to get off the subject or hi-jack the thread.

Quote the current version of the healthcare bill chapter and verse, point out that it directly refutes Obamas' promises, and you're a racist. Point out (and prove) that democrats are the ones recruiting, paying, and bussing in supporters for town hall meetings, and you're a racist. Mention that Obama is socialist, and you're an uneducated racist.

Its' happened too many times to be a coincidence, I've concluded he is deliberately wrecking threads, and going for thread-lock, in order to sabotage discussion of the many discrepancies between what Obama is saying and what he is doing.

I put him on my ignore list, I'd suggest you do the same. You won't miss anything constructive.

I agree. I didn't bring it up... "canynracer" did. My post was a response. I assume the vitriol we'll be redirected toward him?

[Mike.357]

HCA's only offering $50....I'd go and protest for $100, but refuse to work cheap.

where are these people? I would like to make some extra cash

[Mike.357]

...

The stimulus has averted a 2nd Great depression, etc.

Who says we were having a depression or going to have one? And who says that the Big O has averted this?

All he has done is put the monkey on the back of future generations.

Will my grandchildren look on him so favorably when they have no pot to piss in?

This mess shouild have been set straight now and not dumped on the future.

When Atlas shrugs it will be the freeloading Obama supporters who fall off.

"Most of us associate with people who agree with us on many issues. Birds of

a feather do, empirically, tend to flock together. But this is especially important to

authoritarians, who have not usually thought things out, explored possibilities,

considered alternate points of view, and so on, but acquired their beliefs from the

authorities in their lives. They then maintain their beliefs against new threats by

seeking out those authorities, and by rubbing elbows as much as possible with people

who have the same beliefs." from "The Authoritarians" by Bob Altemeyer (available free online as a pdf.--interesting reading about the biggest threat to our nation)

Sorry, I should have given W. some of the credit too. Remember last fall when his secretary of the treasury asked for 700 billion--no strings attached--to save us from a complete financial collapse? Obama, to his credit, did attach some strings, though not enough because of his naive desire to placate the business community. If we had not infused money into the economy, according to both liberal and conservative economists,

you'd be looking for a pot right now.

Where was your outrage over W's deficit spending?

I worry about my Grandchildren's economic future too. Clinton demonstrated that, with moderate tax increases on those who can afford it (like me), we could be back in the black in a few years. We repaid our WW2 debt which was beyond anything we can imagine today and the 50's were the most prosperous era in our history. Real Patriots--those who embody the "can do" attitude that made us the greatest country on earth--know that we handle this challenge. How ironic is it that those who cling to the status quo and are terrified of change would likely have sided with the British during our revolution.

carnyracer made no reference to race in the post you replied to. You are lying,.... again.

[Guest Ralph G. Briscoe]

Atlas shrugged last October when Ayn Rand disciple Alan Greenspan

testified before the Republican congress that her ideas which he had espoused had failed miserably.

I'm not lying. My side doesn't have to. Surely you're equipt to appreciate the blatant racial subtext of this from Carnyracer--

"I bet if I get really pissed, I can demand he (Obama) sleep with my wife, and be the father to my grandchildren."

That's what I was referring to.

[Steelharp]

October was before the election; it was still a Rep congress.

So where is carny mentioning race?

His election certainly brought all the wingnuts and haters out from under their rocks where they can be seen in their full glory for what, and who they are. That's ultimately a good thing, though there will no doubt be some senseless violence along the way.

And I guess that during the previous 8 years you somehow missed the endless Bush bashing by the left? Please come down off your sanctimonious high horse for 2 seconds and listen to yourself. You are correct about the "senseless violence" part. That guy that was attacked by liberals at the town hall meeting was a perfect example of that. FINALLY, Ralphie and I agree on something.

White men have run the show throughout our history

and a lot of them are in a full-blown panic that their monopoly on power is ending. It is ending....that's an unavoidable mathematical fact in this Democracy--they're the minority now and will be increasingly so in the future.

Even in poker, one of a kind loses every time. That's all you have is the damn race card. Everybody is racist. Well guess what, you're probably the most racist, bigoted, ignorant, narrow-minded fool on this entire board by a long shot.

Can you explain to me how whites are now the minority in this country? I wasn't aware of that. Nobody I know was aware of that. Hell, even the U.S. Census wasn't aware of that. It's a wonder they didn't call you to verify.

USA QuickFacts from the US Census Bureau

All the anger and acting out....the teabaggers, the birthers, those who disrupt public meetings,....that's the death throes of the old guard....the last pathetic skirmish of the civil war.

Ralph, I'm sure even someone like you can understand that some people have different views. Hell, yours are different than most of America's. So why is it that you can't say one thing about the other side without being insulting? Is your mental capacity really that limited? Come up with an argument already. And please tell me that no liberals ever disrupted any kind of public meetings, etc. Please. Please make a statement so obviously ignorant that a 3 year old could refute it.

And while we're talking about the death throes, why don't you take a look in your own back yard? Look at Pelosi referring to those who choose to voice their opposition to the plan they tried their hardest to push through the House and Senate without a chance to read it as "Astroturf" and clearly insinuating Nazi sympathies.

Can you explain the hypocrisy in this statement by Hillary Clinton?

"I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration."

Why is it only OK to disagree and stand up and fight against a white conservative President? Since you're obviously so fond of playing the race card, how about you play against it for once? How is that not racist?

If you ever said anything with a modicum of sense, I'd probably fall over dead from shock. However, even without the government rationing my health care, I feel confident that I am safe from such a fate.

It was the real world Bubba. All over the news....maybe not Fox or the "phonesex for bigots" call in shows. Do the research yourself if you don't believe me. I'm tired of having to spoonfeed facts to the uninformed/misinformed.

Then go away. I think that's fairly simple. Unless you just like being berated on an open forum for your nonsensical fairy tale musings. Are you a masochist Ralph? OOOOO I bet you are!

Miscegenation....one of the things they used to lynch brothers for.

What's the matter Junior? Can't handle the truth so you want me to go away. Big, brave man with a gun...sheesh. You're clearly out of your league in this debate or you wouldn't be resorting to crass, mindless insults. Grow up.
