BTW, I always suspected that Bush's signing of the McCain-Feingold bill as a pre-step to finally getting this to the SCOTUS. I don't think Bush liked it, but he knew it would get challanged. Just vetoing it would never put it to rest. I have a funny feeling we are about to see the same stuff with regards to "entitlements".

My definition is entirely accurate, Dan, as it applies to the mob of paranoid right wing nuts that frequent the Club Cobra Lounge.

[Excaliber]

I suspect we have not seen the end of this issue with allowing unfettered campaigning by special interest groups. Especially with the court so closely divided on it. Perhaps it it something Congress will have to look at, at some point.

[Ralphy]

Ex, when you post you really need to piece things together better. Here like this!

"My definition is entirely accurate, Dan, as it applies to the mob of paranoid right wing nuts that frequent the Club Cobra Lounge. Be wary of group's that exaggerate their opponent's position in order to mobilize support through political outrage."

[Excaliber]

No exageration!!!!! If the shoe fit's wear it proudly, or dumbly, as the case may be.

It is obvious to ALL that visit the Lounge that the majority (that would be mob, as in mob mentality) attack and attempt to humiliate anyone that opposes their hostile and closely held views.

Prime example: One such member repeatedly harrased our own Computerworks for offering a view that was simply different. Using the "F" word resulted in a ban. MOST potential posters to the Lounge with a view point that even LOOKS like it might challenge the "mob" have quit posting.

Maybe we need a poll? How many frequent posters in the Lounge lean left? You know the results already. You would be a fool to declare yourself a Liberal around THIS bunch!

Exageration? Not even close and YOU KNOW THAT, Ralphy. Now as to whether or not you consider yourself among the "right wing nut radical harrasement bunch", if the shoe fits, wear it.

Ex,
Not wanting to start a war but I think it is more how it is presented by some members on both sides. I classify myself as a right leaning independent but on some issues I move completely to the left side of the auditorium. I don't like fitting into one mold as I (albeit probably foolishly) believe I am a free man with free choices. I do post a contradictory post from time to time and I don't get attacked for it. I think some of your comments are meant solely to pose an alternate view but text is a bad way of conveying meaning behind a sentence. Basically if it can be taken wrong, it will by some.

[Ralphy]

Funny, to me it seems most attack views here. But you seem to resort to name calling very often.

[turnpike boy]

The last refuge of a cornered man.

[Excaliber]

Perhaps the ONLY man left, as in "left"?

You see what you want to see, I've been called every name in the book around here, I respond in kind.

Why don't you radical conservatives post a poll? "Do you lean right or left?" You know the results already, no poll needed. The threads around here BLEED with ultra conservative right wing NUT CASES.

[Ralphy]

Hmmm... when views oppose yours and it seems it's a majority they are a mob.

Now, if most here agreed with you, what would you call them?

[turnpike boy]

We're only nut cases - excuse me- NUT CASES if we disagree with you, Ex.

And, yes, you probably are the only one "left". It would be tough to be the only one "right" all the time, I suppose.

[turnpike boy]

Yeah - there's the tolerant demeanor we see so often in libs.

[Excaliber]

lib·er·al (lbr-l, lbrl)
adj.
1.
a. Not limited to or by established, traditional, orthodox, or authoritarian attitudes, views, or dogmas; free from bigotry.

c. Of, relating to, or characteristic of liberalism.
d. Liberal Of, designating, or characteristic of a political party founded on or associated with principles of social and political liberalism, especially in Great Britain, Canada, and the United States.
2.

b. Morally unrestrained; licentious.
n.

Other than the bolded part of 1.b. Sounds like a custom fit to me!

How many times have we seen this definition posted here in the Lounge? How many times has been used to denigrate those with an opposing view? Don't patronize me, don't belittle my views with yet another attack. I'[m sick and tired of you a-holes. Yeah, thats right FREAKIN' NAME CALLING HERE, telling it like it is. Kiss my a,, you dam red neck radicals.

[Excaliber]

DONT PATRONIZE ME turnpike LITTLE BOY.

[turnpike boy]

Wouldn't think of even trying to. You need to chill, old son - exasperation won't do your blood pressure any good, and none of this is for real anyway.

Wish I was "little" again. Thanks for the kind thoughts.

[Ralphy]

We chose to come to this part of CC on our own regard. This is not what CC was designed for. We come here on our own and we can leave on our own.

This is probably over stepping CC's boundaries, this is only my view. If I do not like it, I can leave this area. I think others should follow this rule. My opinion only.

I have posted at other places where I was the minority. I never complained or name called groups. However it seems to be a trait of the liberal view to call names.

One more thing, I already told you I was a Dem once. So when you decide to title me put that in there also!

[Excaliber]

fastd, I suspect that's exactly the way the Justices felt about this issue, divided. It's a tough one, time will tell how it plays out. The POTENTIAL is for corporations to spend FAR more money than a candidate could/would. Potentially making or breaking an election.

[Excaliber]

However it seems to be a trait of the liberal view to call names.

Your opinion is noted, it's not grounded in reality, but it's noted. Perhaps because your a newbie and don't fully understand the dynamics at play here. Stick around and observe long enough and you will "get it".

WHO are these "Liberals" you speak off? NAME ONE besides myself who regularly posts here. Just ONE?

[Ralphy]

I guess you just removed any doubt to your claim as an Independent!

Now as far as liberal name calling. I was not referring to just here. So if your the ONLY liberal HERE, that to me would say all liberals resort to name calling.

[Excaliber]

Dam straight! Around here someone needs to have the balls to stand up and be counted and not be afraid to admit he's a LIBERAL.

...still waiting, came someone name ONE other person who posts here regularly that is a Liberal. JUST ONE?????

And you don't see the problem with that? Minority? Not even close! So out numbered the majority becomes a MOB, with mob mentality.
