    Quite a few Democrats at the DNC advocate banning corporate profits (YouTube video):

    So what. Someone threw peanuts at a black woman at the RNC. Cue the "you can't make this stuff up..."

    Republicans at the RNC are in favor of prenatal rights for rapists.

    Who was quickly thrown right out of the convention hall.

    But will this be the fate of those Democrats at the DNC advocating that corporate profits be banned? Of course not. In fact, what is more likely is that this profoundly ridiculous idea is added into the Democratic platform, as so many Democrats at the DNC are apparently supportive of the idea. Of course we will not see this come up for a vote at the DNC, but it would certainly be interesting to see the outcome if it did.

    It's not hard to find 15 people anywhere to agree to anything in a 6 second sound byte. If we went to the RNC in a similar fashion and asked about banning labor unions or sending Obama back to Kenya or something similarly ridiculous I doubt you'd have much trouble finding people to agree with you. Who cares?

    Finding a minority of people who support something so stupid does not make it likely that it becomes part of the Democratic platform.

    Since when can you tell a fetus is going to grow up to become a rapist?

    Oh wait, you meant that Republicans at the RNC favor prenatal rights for fetuses (whom they consider to be humans) conceived - through no fault of their own - during a rape.

    So you are saying a rapist should be able to choose whether a female is ready to be a mom or not?

    No. And she doesn't even need to become a mom if she doesn't want to.

    I was simply stating that the rights aren't being given to the rapist. It's not like the Republican position is that a raped woman needs to get the rapist's permission for an abortion. The position is that abortion is murder regardless of the circumstances of conception and the fetus has rights.

    I didn't state my position one way or the other. But since you asked, I'm anti-abortion, but I would allow a rape exception (even though I think that could lead to problems with false accusations of rape if it were the only exception allowed).

    Why is abortion okay in the case of rape? That fetus is no less a fetus in the case of rape. By the anti-choice logic, that life is still a life so why should rape allow the murder of a child?

    This has become a pretty common little trick and it always annoys me. It's disrespectful to the idiots you put on camera and dishonest to the audience who watches it. The dishonesty seems so apparent, yet it somehow makes the rounds every time someone puts one together.

    The libtards are the most annoying creature on the face of this earth. Unfortunately, the worst evils which mankind has ever had to endure.

    I guess you could make an argument that organised religion is a worse evil than rape, murder, child molestation, famine, disease, malaria, H.I.V, war, Nazism, the holocaust, genocide, tsunamis, looting, necrophilia, kidnapping, terrorism, serial killers, abortion, infanticide, slavery, incest, extinction of species, poaching, apartied, racism, assaults....

    It would be a weak argument, but that has never stopped people in the past.

    BTW...

    Communism was responsible for 100's of millions of deaths...what religion is communism? What religion do communists follow?

    Sounds like you pulled that number out from down unda.

    Even as a spiritual man I can admit that holy wars, "cleansings"and the like have accounted for more deaths than communism (revolutions started BY PEOPLE). I understand your conviction but it doesn't sound correct.
