Since you asked....

I wasn't trying to.

I dodn't want anyone trying to change mine's which is what everyone else in my eyes, was and is trying to do.

To be clear so that you aren't putting words in my mouth.

I don't approve of assaults on the POTUS especially when you are doing your job, but BUSH, the flesh and blood human who failed in a leadership position of POTUS, earned that shoe.

You want respect, respect is earned.

So yeah, in that aspect, IMO Bush had it coming.

Now we are done.

No we're not.

This is all illogical and does not follow, and you contradict yourself in this very post.

Simply put, you're wrong, and not in the "I disagree with your opinion" sense - in the "this is malarkey tripe" sense.

See how easy appeals to authority are? Difference is, mine are right. See how easy that was too?

Well come on, it's changed my mind. If anonymous interweb posters are approving of attempted assault on the President...well, then that's all I need to hear!

Seriously though - the fact that some posters agree with you doesn't make the opinion more palatable to the rest of us. Read some of the garbage that is posted in the comments sections of sites ranging from espn.com to any number of newspapers. No one is saying you're alone in your opinion, DS; they're just saying that they disagree, no matter how many people tend to share your sentiments.

I'll give you this - you've managed to unite a group of people who, in some cases, have widely divergent political opinions. I think you've done more in this thread to unite liberals and conservatives than anyone else on GC.

Sigh ...that is what I have been trying to say all along.

Come on, when have you known me to flip on a topic just to please others?

When have you known me to try to be 'palatable' to others?

That's not what I do.

I expressed my opinion on this matter, caught flak and to a certain point, I think I may have said some things that others may not have willingly voiced because of the reactions involved.

I guess that makes me a bad person, eh?

Because I express my disdain makes me wrong?

No.

Wrong is keeping silent on something I know I strongly for or against.

Wrong is following along with the 'rah rah' chorus when I know I feel otherwise.

Wrong is changing my mind just because I listen to the influence of others and I want to look 'cool' or 'right' in their eyes.

If some of you hate what was said or hate me for what I said, that's cool, I promise you I won't change and I can promise you that more will come and not just from me but from anyone that you may have met in life that may be opposed to how you feel on a particular topic.

The only thing that anyone can do when faced with that is to take it in and learn from it and store it for future use.

Do I have to get out the RC Challenge (TM pending) again, or will you cut the condescension and act like an adult?

I agree with Olbermann it would be assault against the President if it was a 5 inch heel worn by a 7 foot trannie...

Best dayum #1 on the Olbermann show I have seen yet!

You thought I was being condescending?

wow.

I wasn't


You know what...let's call this done and move on because it's obvious we aren't going to agree or see eye to eye on this matter regardless of how I attempt to clarify my point.

The man who threw the show was sentenced to three years in prison:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090312/..._mi_ea/ml_iraq

Per the article, when the sentence was announced, he shouted defiantly, "Long live Iraq!" Others attending the sentencing said similar things, along with "down with Bush."
