On "most of the western world"

Post #338,494 by beepster 1/12/11 3:17:20 PM Reply	On "most of the western world" http://www.usnews.co...r-tucson-shooting Run rate on that poll is 75% no. So I would say your "most" may need a further qualification. Every other poll I've seen today also is majority no. So, you may want to recalibrate. Sure, understanding today's complex world of the future is a little like having bees live in your head. But...there they are.

Post #338,497 by beepster 1/12/11 5:54:50 PM Reply	So far the polling data in >this< part of the western world disagrees with you strongly. And so does, at least, portions of the UK press corp...since the Mail is a brit rag, not a US rag.

Post #338,554 by beepster 1/13/11 11:31:29 AM Reply	Re: In the UK, the Daily Mail From comments in Le Monde Evidemment Sarah Palin nÂa incité personne à utiliser les armes, les accusations qui la visent sont scandaleuses : la fusillade est lÂacte dÂun déséquilibré comme il y en a eu tant auparavant. De la calomnie politique pure et simple. Les démocrates pourrissent eux-mêmes le débat politique. La gauche, où quÂelle soit, a toujours tenté de disqualifier ses adversaires par lÂinvective, cela permet dÂéviter lÂargumentation : fascistes, racistes, beaufsÂ alors pourquoi pas incitateurs dÂassassinats! http://www.lemonde.f...1464900_3222.html And again, your "most of the western world" is disqualified...but feel free to stick with it...turnabout can be fair play (meaning I can be stubborn in the face of evidence to the contrary too :-) Sure, understanding today's complex world of the future is a little like having bees live in your head. But...there they are.

Post #338,564 by boxley 1/13/11 12:32:24 PM Reply	and if you dont think the left does it too http://radiotime.com..._Rhodes_Show.aspx catch her show, she is a lot of fun to listen too and way over the top of rush Any opinions expressed by me are mine alone, posted from my home computer, on my own time as a free American and do not reflect the opinions of any person or company that I have had professional relations with in the past 55 years. meep
Post #338,565 by jake123 1/13/11 12:45:02 PM Reply	Yeah, more evidence that your culture is fucked. She called two people whores. That's not the same thing as calling the president a kenyan usurper out to destroy Real Americans, and we need to consider 2nd amendment remedies when we lose. Give me a fucking break, box.
Post #338,566 by boxley 1/13/11 12:47:46 PM Reply	? WTF are you talking about? She has called for the death of bush cheney, wanted (gingrich?} raped etc. More over the top than Palin at her best when I used to listen to her show in west palm. I doubt she has toned it down much since Any opinions expressed by me are mine alone, posted from my home computer, on my own time as a free American and do not reflect the opinions of any person or company that I have had professional relations with in the past 55 years. meep

Post #338,560 by beepster 1/13/11 12:08:01 PM Reply	And I and others are saying its not including the folks that knew the guy to be apolitical (left v right). She was authority...not r or d...the political rhetoric was not an issue here, nor in OKC, nor in the attempt on Reagan etc. These folks had their own agenda, fueled by their own particular psychosis. The more they research, the more it appears this guy picked her because of a mass mailing...not because of shows like "Crossfire". Would it be nicer if everyone was nice to each other all the time? Sure. Would this not have happened? Wishful thinking. Sure, understanding today's complex world of the future is a little like having bees live in your head. But...there they are.
