Please show me when I have EVER started a political thread on this forum, and I shall apologise. > yes, saying EF! > is criminal and terrorist is a political statement. Nonsense. You had better go back and re-read the thread. In the beginning, I only said they were criminal, which is a fact that is universally accepted among reasonable people. Nothing political about that. And several leaders have referred to them as terrorists, way before the Bush administration co-opted the term for their assault on civil liberties. The politics didn't start until someone posted an ad hominem attack against the President. > and don't ever accuse me of hatred when I'm simply stating the > same thing you are, only changing the subject. Well, if you're changing the subject, then you're obviously NOT stating the same thing I am! I'm sorry, but the blind-rage jihad against the President that has been so popular in this town for the last 3.5 years is nothing less than hate speech. I can't do much about the LTEs and lawn signs of the idiot fringe, but I can -- and do -- complain when it leaks onto this forum. > and how dare you try to equate racism and bigotry with disgust > at chosen actions! I equate hatred with hatred. It wasn't "disgust," it was hate speech. > get real, Ken. you opened a can of worms. No, I only made a joke. Someone else turned it into a can of worms. Please don't complain when someone catches you with your hand in the cookie jar.
