See, the parts I have highlighted in red, I just have a wee bit of disagreement of opinion with.

Much more importantly, what you and Dio also missed is the fact that Keyes is an effing LOON. Watching the primaries would have told you that.

That's the problem with American politics ... you allow your loons, thieves, crooks and liars to keep their elected post more often than not. Up here, we usually blast them out of their seat with shame and public condemnation.

Bump eh?

So you're not only okay with having a thread titled RightWingNutZ, but you actively want to post to it.

Uh huh. So much for lowering the rancor here.

I guess its only fair then if a few new threads are created devoted to highlighting LeftWingNutZ.

After all, that would be the fair and balanced thing to do.

Maybe I'll address that oversight after I get back from another fine evening of live music. Have fun with your hatred folks.

And you're *not* posting to it? Actually, I posted here because I happened to have a photo of Alan Keyes, which I took with my own little hands. And Keyes was being discussed. And I genuinely am curious about the Tea Parties. I have questions, but I sure as hell am not going to ask them here.

Someone at RP (I'm sorry I can't remember who, as I don't have time to file every little post away for future use) asked if we couldn't just have one thread entitled "Political Extremists." I'd be okay with that.

As for the "hatred" bit, just cut it out. Apparently what some see as hatred, others see as normal discourse, depending on the point of view. It'd be wonderful if there could be fewer threads inflammatory thread titles, but I guess that's not going to happen. I'd rather see "Fox Spews" as "Fox News: Tactics" or something a little less reactionary, just as I'd rather see a thread called "Political Extremists" than "RightWingNutz" or "The Moonbat Times" or what have you.

Whatever. Enjoy your live music.

Albert Einstein once said "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results". The RightWing nuts are the epitome of this. Their answer is STILL "Cut taxes on the rich and corporations and deregulate big business". They all need to be taken away in straight jackets.

No, we know Keyes is a loon. Madman said it sounded like Keyes was advocating a coup. Dio said it wouldn't happen and listed some reasons. So tell Madman about Keyes but leave me out of it.

You have a disagreement with Obama is our most popular President since Reagan;
as well you should. Reagan left office with a 63% approval rating. Bill Clinton left office with a 66% approval rating.

And you also disagree with the statement that the military isn't with the extreme right wing haters, therefore aren't likely to participate in a coup. Okay.

All right, everyone seems to agree that Keyes is a nutjob. OTOH, IMO these are sort of nutjob times. You know what it all kind of reminds me of? Descriptions of France right before World War II.

As for a coup attempt, I still think there's some outside chance of an abortive attempt, even if it's nothing more than the effort mounted by the Japanese novelist Yukio Mishima , who exhorted an audience of cadets to join in a coup and they responded by chanting "asshole! asshole! asshole!".

Obama does have some Reaganesque qualities - after all, Reagan was the Great Communicator, and his detractors regarded him as an empty suit. It also amuses me when I read all the complaints about the press fawning over Obama - you'd think Obama was made of Teflon or something.

This is Alan Keyes dumping tea in the Allegheny River in Pittsburgh. Allan and I happened upon a Tea Party on Saturday. We didn't stick around for the whole thing, because some of the rhetoric was a little scary (and blood-pressure raising), so we didn't hear Keyes speak. After lunch, though, we watched the end of the rally. You can see my photoset of the Tea Party here.

I've been thinking about this thing ever since Saturday; I'd like to write about it on my blog. I'm not sure I'm up for getting into a discussion of it here. But I did want to show yinz my photo of Mr. Keyes.

So that's not tea. What did they use? Corn flakes? Sawdust? What cheap bastiges.

There's a good reason the right looks upon many O-voters as self-delusional. That post would be such an example.

edit: BTW, in case its not especially obvious to y'all on whatever side of the political fence you reside on: Keyes is an effing LOON. That should have been ovious and clear to y'all during the primaries.

That diagnosis could be applied to a far larger percentage of the human race than those who voted for O.

scenario can only work with a President who lacks public support. Obama is our most popular President since Reagan;
a free press and a loyal public (AND military!) render any coup attempt unlikely and unfeasible.
Right now, it couldn't happen successfully.
The extreme right wing can hate all it wants; most Americans, and most military personnel, aren't with them.

I guess I did miss the sycophantic obsequiousness here. Especially since Obama's not in the room, these words just look like a rational observation. Your being upset by them just looks like you do think a coup is likely and/or feasible.

I expected as much.

Free clue Dio: this is a public forum, not a private chat or two way PM. You might want to find another means of conversing if you're only interested in 'talking' to one.

Let me sum up:

Basement mused about Keyes' words being a rationalization for a coup attempt.
Dio says it's not possible in the current climate
You express sadness upon reading Dio's statement.
Dio says "huh?"
You tell Dio to f*uck off.

What am I missing?

You are responsible for the words you post. Period. Try and spin yourself out of your offense any way you wish, but its obvious to all the intent of your foolish post.

If you're unable to resist posting moronic taunts when you see me chime in on a thread you're participating in, then perhaps next time you'd be much the wiser just walking away from the keyboard for a spell.

Turn the mirror on your own uninvited intrusion here and subsequent intemperate language. I have nothing to apologize for.

Let me get this straight: you support stringing up most Republican voters for treason and crimes against humanity — especially those elderly and lifelong party-line voters; or would support such actions indirectly by words and deeds? That's sure one way to minimize the costs to your future public health care system izzinit?

/back at ya goof.

Look, I wasn't even talking to you to begin with. I was actually disagreeing with someone else's intimation that there was a real or possible right wing conspiracy to unseat the President through a coup. Ain't gonna happen. But you just butt in then with a irrelevant ad hominem, and then get pissy when I respond. Bullshit playground stuff. You can't pull a Bill O'Reilly here, Beaks, you don't control the mic.
