Title: Why Are Conservatives So Crazy!?
Post by: FOTD on April 17, 2009, 02:00:35 PM
"Rightwing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups), and those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration."

A dose of the KOS for our whackos....

"Of course, this has to be just the most extreme of the extreme. Brand name tea baggers like Glenn Beck would never ask people to reject federal authority or stir up antigovernment hatred or fight local authorities.  It's not as if they're racists. Not as if they're trying to create a real-life Confederacy of Dunces.  It's not as if it has anything to do with the teabaggers."


An attachment to this post contained racially charged language.   It is used in the context of political speech and I am hesitant to moderate it.  However, the nature of the language used would usurps the supposed intent of this thread and I don't think most people would find the picture added to the political discussion. However, to err on the side of allowing speech the image is linked below:

I attempted to moderate this thread to remove content meant to just be offensive, but it appears I am unable to remove said content.  Regrettably, this thread is therefor locked.  The user is free to repost this thread in a more acceptable manner as outlined in my above attempt at moderation.  Don't post profane, graphic, or racially charged images please - they will not add to the discussion in a constructive manner.

LOCKED.

Oh, I get it now, all bikers are bigots.  I ride a Harley, therefore I must be a white supremacist.

How bout instead of actually acknowledging a crap post, we get the mod to do the right thing and delete it?  

FOTD may or may not contribute to other threads, but this is a prime grade A troll post and deserves to get torched.  

Can we all agree to just shut it down?
