Last week a mayor in Pakistan was murdered by his body guard for his political views.  That wasn't much of a surprise.  Seems to happen all the time in the mid-east.  Are we becoming more like those that we oppose around the world?   It is time to cool the political ranker that has started to take over the evening news.

Hmm... reports are saying that the Guy was more concerned with not having a gold backed currency, a lack of proper grammar, Mars rovers not being real, and George bush being behind 9/11, not political commentary. Unless of course you count the Communist manifesto and mein kampf  as political commentary.

The Guy is simply a nutjob and he is the one responsible. Not MSNBC, fox news, republicans, or democrats.

My grammar and delivery is far from perfect, and, as The Randimus has pointed out on several occasions, I often misspell words, but hearing the interview of the teacher that kicked him out of class, I understand his position.

It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

Apparently he asked Giffords at a prior event "What legitimacy does government have if words have no meaning?" and she tried to reply, but it enraged him.

He also is a militant atheist according to friends, reported on MSNBC.

Nothing connects him to politics or even reality.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Yeah, just saw a book in pic of him on my Yahoo email home page news section and he might as well be holding up a 2x4 foot sign that says "make the beast with two backsing nutcase" on it! Shaved his head and has this crazy shit eating grin on his face like he's having fun. Poster child for the American Association of Crazy Mother make the beast with two backsers. [bang]
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

That was my point... quoted post was connecting him to prime-time TV.  Eff that.

D rating from GOA
D+ rating from NRA

don't think so.

Another data point: She has a Zero rating from the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence (lower than Don Young of Alaska...), so I'm guessing the picture is a bit more complicated than that.

she was one of the signers of the House amicus in favor of overturning the DC ban, which zeroed her with the Brady bunch.

however, she's supported a good number of other restrictive measures.

Let's change directions please.

This is going political.
"Once you accept that a child on the autistic spectrum experiences the world in
 a completely different way than you, you will be open to understand how that
 perspective
    is even more amazing than yours."
    To realize the value of nine  months:
    Ask a mother who gave birth to a stillborn.

NPR today was suggesting her NRA rating might have been due to the NRA donating $40k to her opponent in the last election. The NRA is not transparent on how they grade elected officials. Perhaps that's for another thread. Il Dood said it very well. This is the only place on the internets I've seen this discussed as if we were all real people in the same room. Kudos. I know we all have different (and some strong) political differences, and they've been kept at bay. Kudos again.

How is that post keeping politics at bay?

Their old tag-line was: "More people get their news from the Daily Show than probably should."

Then again, with an intro speech like this, maybe more people should get their news there.
