    Was Timothy McVeigh a Democrat too?

    This is an example of how stupid this thread is, and how stupid the arguments of Odds On and basso are.

    1. They lost, the tea party and others were way out of line with the way they expressed their opposition to health care reform.

    2. Unable to tarnish the Democrats with an equal amount of offensiveness, they began attacking the Democrats of 1952. As if that somehow shows that things are even. It's unbelievable, and one of the silliest tactics I've seen, and we've all seen some silly ones. I'm amazed that odds on started it, and that basso continued it.

    3. It would have been much simpler to say something like, "Yes the tea party has some real crazies who've been totally out of line, and for the good of the tea party they should make a concentrated effort to distance themselves from these offensive and troublesome people.

    It kind of mirrors the GOP strategy with regards to health care. Rather admit they were wrong and actually bring something productive to the table, the GOP congressmen demanded the whole thing be scrapped. Here they could have called the offensive behavior offensive, offered solutions, or support of solutions. But instead they decided to try and argue about Democrats many decades ago.

    Well, overlooking the fact that he wasn't American, I assume your point is that there are radicals on both sides, which is true(though I would argue there are more on the right, but whatever), my question is does that somehow justify certain actions because you think that there are people on the other side doing the same thing?

    You have John Boehner proclaiming that Steve Driehaus is a "dead man" for voting health care reform and Sarah Palin with a map of targets on key Democrats, yet they claim that they're intentions are harmless. How stupid are these people in thinking that directing this rhetoric to their angry, gun-toting followers is harmless? But it's OK because they think that the other side is doing the same thing.

    1) Dwight D. Eisenhower. If the most popular man in the world for a decade-and-a-half had the balls to take on social issues when he was in office, the '60s would have never happened. No Civil Rights movement, no women's movement, no hippies, none of it.

    2) Barry Goldwater. Like William Rehnquist, young William F. Buckley, southern democrats and all other true-blue social conservatives; Goldwater thought letting blacks go to law school, sleep in hotels or try on clothes in white department stores was federal encroachment on states' rights. When GOP primary and convention voters chose him three months after he voted against the Civil Rights bill, despite knowing they would lose the general election as a result, they let everyone know what their priorities were. When they unwittingly made Richard Nixon the most progressive and level-headed Republican on Civil Rights, after they purged Rockefeller and alienated old-timers like Dewey, they lost any right to black voters for all eternity.

    LOL. There is no field in which he cannot sow the seeds of FAIL. The Sahara, the south pole, the dark side of the moon -- he can grow a bumper crop of FAIL anywhere.

    Biden dropped an F-bomb? Like Reagan did as well?

    Democrates cheering? Ehh they spent the better part of a year on this issue, one in the core of their philosophy... not surprised they cheered. I didnt see anything excessive....

    WHAT? how dare they be threatened.. ALL their fault, certainly....

    No... coming from a cynic, and an independent.... the Republicans conducted themselves like the back end of a horse. The Democrates were their typical spineless selves, but at the end of the day they got something passed.

    Hey listen to what Republcans did. They tried to break into the watergate hotel where the Democrats had offices with their plans.

    Then they tried to lie and hide it, and destroy relevant evidence. It was Republican president Richard Nixon that did this.

    What do you Republicans have to say now, huh!!!!??????
