Ellen, Jack Conway is not Rand Paul. Rand Paul is a hard core Libertarian. That makes Jack Conway a saint. Right CA?

And CA, I’m sure you never let any professor in school have any effect on you whatsoever. Obviously.

Ellen, Greg's put up an entire post on donating in other close races.

I’m kind of surprised you’ve chosen Jack Conway as a candidate to donate to– have you seen the ad he ran that hits Paul on not one of the issues (where I think you’d agree he’s wide open for some attacking), only on the fact that he once belonged to a club that “called the Holy Bible a hoax”? Are those the kind of ads that you really think people should support? If you’re serious about wanting atheism to be accepted and respected in America, Conway is not a cool dude. There are other candidates in tight races who deserve support much, much more.

CA: I was nine. The sluts were all probably around seven.

CA, all you have to do is read the press reports I’ve linked to. But, alas, that might require that you have functioning brain cells, so I suppose that is not going to happen. Dick.

CA, we know most of the details of the story. Your ignorance is not only impressive but willful. And you are a dick.

Conservative American is, I think, the local right-wing loon of many names. He appears to be entirely serious. He also seems to swallow anything he’s told about things like the SEIU “fight.” He’s probably too scared to go watch it himself and see what did happen.

Funny thing is, if he did, he’d hear the people on the left saying, “Yes, even a small assault is wrong and should be prosecuted.” Pretty far cry from saying stepping on someone’s head isn’t enough, isn’t it?

Conservative American wrote about “wrestling the liberal abortionist down”. No, you apologist for thuggery, this was an assault by five grown men on a single female exercising her Constitutional and democratic rights. These thugs attacked her(assault), restrained her(kidnapping charges, anyone?), then four of them held her down while the fifth coolly and deliberately stamped on her head and neck. They could have killed her or caused permanent physical damage.

And attempting to justify this thuggery by using stupid, dehumanising and distracting phrases like “liberal abortionist” and “libertard protester” merely point out that you have the moral and constitutional grasp of a brain damaged amoeba. If constitutional rights exist, and they still do in the USA, the last time I looked, then they apply to all. That means especially that they apply to people you may not like, or opinions you may not agree with.

Do you want every political meeting to degenerate into a gunfight? Either you condemn this incident now, and insist on police action against those who perpetrated it, or you are in conflict with your own constitution, for a start.

How do you know she is an abortionist? And what difference does that make? The medical specialisation in question is still legal in your country. You,sir or madam, are a moral vacuum, and an utter idiot.
