Gun-Toting Nut Incident Goes Underreported

This happened the other day.

An angry Republican voter pulled out a shotgun and stuck it in the face of a Democrat lawmaker, threatening to kill him unless he supported the President's war policy.

Sounds like a made-to order MSM feeding frenzy - violent gun-toting Republican threatening an innocent unarmed Democrat to go along with the unpopular war policy - all creating a perfect storm of anti-Republicanism and anti-Gun hype in the wake of the VT shootings.

Funny you didn't hear about it. That's probably because the political orientations and policy objectives of the individuals involved were exactly the opposite of what appears in the anecdote above.

4 Boohoo. Looks widely reported to me:

http://news.google.ca/news?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&client=firefox-a&tab=wn&ncl=1115708338&hl=en&filter=0

While threats to politicians are serious, they aren't quite the same as the murder of 32 people at the same time. But hey... if it serves your "everybody is picking on us" narrative. Go nuts.

Lucky for your wife I am.

(You know what's funny about this... I bet we'd have a blast shouting this shit at each other in a bar... that is if you freaks didn't end up going all "Deliverance" on me.)

10 I would like to lick your balls tonight John, I can't help it if a mans nuts are what I crave now that I'm to old to get my Mexican to give it to me up the wazoo.

Posted by: greyrooster at April 26, 2007 07:00 PM (enVOn)

11 Yeah...right John. I bet you would piss your pants and run for the door if you met some of us in a bar.

Posted by: Randman at April 26, 2007 07:39 PM (Sal3J)

12 John,
 

If by Deliverance you mean shooting you in the fucking head about 100 times then I'm down with that.......

13 Randman,
 

Ya we got an imbecile like John here in Ramona, he went on one of his anti-America anti-Bush tirades once and couple of us rednecks quietly got up and walked out, somebody explained to him that we walked out so that we wouldn’t get 86’d from the bar for beating the living crap out of him and throwing him over the back fence. He hasn’t uttered a word to any of us since……….I have to give Joey this much credit, he still comes into the bar, but he keeps his mouth shut. I seriously doubt John is as smart as Joey………

Cool. So let me get this straight... you are happy that somebody is afraid of expressing an opinion for fear of being beaten up? Isn't that the way the Taliban operate?

If the founding fathers of the United States were able to read what you just wrote, they'd never stop puking. Seriously guy... think about what you just said before you go saying "no, the founding fathers would puke if they read what you blah blah blah."

That's just the kind of nazi bullshit I' been talking about. You're a thug, and if you get your way... you're no better than assholish Islamic radicals.

Greyrooster... I don't know what you just said, but you sir... are funny for a redneck asshole.

17 While threats to politicians are serious, they aren't quite the same as
the murder of 32 people at the same time.


Point out where I said it was. Next.

But hey... if it serves your
"everybody is picking on us" narrative. Go nuts.


Cool...so if a Republican had done this to a Democrat, you'd be the first here on this thread saying "hey - that's no big deal." That's just political speech on the Republican's part, and the Democrat complaining would just be a crybaby.

Don't make us laugh. We're not all as stupid as you look.

If the founding fathers of the United States were able to read what you just wrote, they'd never stop puking.

You mean the Christian, Fascist, Slave-owning, White, Landowning Elite Founding Fathers? The ones responsible for setting up the capitalist society which you so despise? The Master Hegemons themselves? When did you become such a pro-American jingoist all of the sudden? Aren't you decrying that kind of patriotism in your political opponents? You're pretending now to know what the Founding Fathers thought about something that happened almost three hundred years after they died? 

What did the Founding Fathers think about high taxes, smart guy? We have a historical record and a lot of tea at the bottom of Boston Harbor to give you some help on that one.

If the founding Fathers could see what the Democrats are doing to the citizenry's incomes through abusive and excessive taxes, they would never stop 'puking.'

You sh*t is tired here, John. Seriously. You're boring and uneducated.

Posted by: Good Lt at April 27, 2007 12:26 AM (yMbfY)

18 PS - Didn't the Founding Fathers write and enact that 2nd Amendment you seek to repeal?

Washington is spinning in his grave.

19 "While threats to politicians are serious, they aren't quite the same as

Hey man... you're the one whose whining about the "msm feeding frenzy... creating a perfect storm of anti-republican... in the wake of the VT shootings blah blah". I'm saying that while this is serious crime, it hardly inspires the same level of debate over the reasons behind a mass killing, and received plenty of coverage for a mere "threat".

"Cool...so if a Republican had done this to a Democrat, you'd be the
first here on this thread saying "hey - that's no big deal."

Well for one thing I don't think anybody would be whining about why it wasn't a bigger story. It'd probably just appear on Fark, everybody would say it was typical of Freepers and guys like you, and that would be it, but I wouldn't call it "no big deal".

"You mean the Christian, Fascist, Slave-owning, White, Landowning Elite
Founding Fathers? The ones responsible for setting up the capitalist
society which you so despise?"

Well for one thing, they were men of the Enlightenment, so that they were Christian doesn't mean the same thing as it does today. In fact most were Deists, who reject the supernatural, and believe in reason. They would find the Evangelicals a pathetic bunch of stupid individuals waiting to be taken away by the Rapture.

As for being "fascist", that's your word, not mine buddy. Clearly they weren't. And yeah, they were slave owners, but the ethics were different then, and it's unfair to judge them on this point 300 years later. They were on the cutting edge of thought in there day. They were the liberal thinkers of their day. The conservatives were the loyalists me bucko.

As for capitalism... sorry to burn your little strawman, but I'm all for capitalism. I just think it needs to be regulated, and balanced out with a very mild form of socialism that funds good public education, healthcare, and social services. You are free to make as much dough as you want, but you can't rob people blind to do it.

What interests me most though about this bit about the founders is that you totally ignored why I brought it up. Namely to pound it into your tiny heads that your nation was founded on freedom, and here you finding it acceptible when assholes intimidate people with threat of violence to force people to keep their mouths shut.

You stopped being Americans some time ago. I don't know what the fuck you are, but you seem to share a lot of values with you enemy. In fighting them, you've started to become them.

To quote an oldy but a goody... "the terrorists have already won."

G'night. Lemme know if you guys ever want to invite me out for a beer. I'll buy the first round and explain how this who democracy thing works. BOOSH!

20 As I recall John, your the one who doesn't claim western 'civilzation'!  As I recall your "easy" ... right? Your purpose in my life is to serve as an example of what the left is descending to. I don't see much use for you beyond that. As for "becoming"  we are no more the Taleban, or Al Qaeda, than the Allies who fought the Nazi's were Hitler youth.  Oh yeah, They all participated in a lot of killing, so I guess in some ways they were similar. They had to use the same brute force to fight thier respective foes. In the case of dealing with a foe you can no longer reason with, force becomes entirely legitimate. If it is a matter of life and death, there cease to be any hard rules. It's about to that point. You guys keep pushing.                         
                                USA, all the way!

21 Hey man... you're the one whose whining about the "msm feeding
frenzy... creating a perfect storm of anti-republican... in the wake of
the VT shootings blah blah". I'm saying that while this is serious
crime, it hardly inspires the same level of debate over the reasons
behind a mass killing, and received plenty of coverage for a mere
"threat".

So you can't point out where I said they're the "same." You lose.

They were on the cutting edge of thought in there day.

Their, not there.

Namely to pound it into your tiny heads that your nation was founded on
freedom


I take it you're not an American, and that's why you know nothing of which you speak. You don't have ABSOLUTE free speech rights in this country. The government can't and won't throw you in jail for saying anything. That doesn't meant your speech won't have consequences that are non-governmental. Hence, a crowd of people REFRAINING from beating you for being a liberal moron. That also means the right to freely bear arms, be free of government influence on what to think and say, be free to criticize Democrats and liberals for being the ignoratti that you are, etc. .

You actually hate this country, but you're jealous of it so you pretend you're just offering advice. Stay wherever you are - we don't need anymore of your brain dead ilk here.

, and here you finding it acceptible (sic) when assholes intimidate
people with threat of violence to force people to keep their mouths
shut.


When did I do that? Oh, that's right. I didn't. A commenter scared you with an extreme comment. Go get a piece of candy, widdle boy.

And the leftwningnut HuffPosters (a random example of your ideological compatriots) and KosBots wish death and disease on every Republican they read about, spouting racism and hate towards those they merely have policy disagreements with, spew the most noxious and childish bile towards BOOSH while writing books about his assassination, Democrats threatening Republicans at gunpoint to go along with the Democrat congress, etc. World keeps spinning. Yet here you are, yapping away into nothingness. You're not a victim, your civil rights aren't being violated, so stop crying about "freedom" being taken away. You aren't being threatened. And all you can do is whine.

Keep it up - we're enjoying the laughs.

You stopped being Americans some time ago.

No, we didn't. We're now and always have been red-blooded Americans, and you're nothing but a pathetic, jealous wannabe. You know what's great about being #1? You always see our backside while you're struggling and failing to catch up. How's the view from our backside?

 I don't know what the fuck
you are, but you seem to share a lot of values with you enemy.

Like BOOSH-hate, anti-Semitism, 9-11 denial, hatred of Christians, hatred of patriotic Americans,d etc. Oh, wait.

And here's the real brain buster, me bucko. The Democrats and the left are giving Bin-Laden what he and his cockroaches want - full-throated defeat, retreat and appeasement. They've often said as much. If you could actually read, maybe you'd know that your biggest fans in the M.E. are actually the terrorists murdering children, women and innocent men in the quest for an anti-American, anti-Israel, anti-freedom Islamic state.

In
fighting them, you've started to become them.

So we actually ARE fighting them, and by inference, you aren't.

Yes. Al-Qaeda LOVES supporting Bush and the American Military against Islamists, liberals, etc.

You are a moron of the lowest order.

I just think it needs to be regulated, and balanced out with a very
mild form of socialism that funds good public education, healthcare,
and social services.


It already is, unless you've been asleep for the Twentieth Century. Strangely, when Democrats are put in control of that "mild socialism," it always seems to collapse in on itself under its own largess, corruption and inefficiency.

No, you keep up that socialism. Its workin' out good for ya.

22 Okay... well you guys go ahead and keep rearranging the furniture on the Titanic. Everything is going great. I'm sure a Republican will be in the White House in '08, and you'll finally leave Iraq with crowds cheering and thanking you.

I'm due back on planet Earth.

Ciao losers.

24 "I'm due back on planet Earth"     John am from Bizzarro Earth, where am all good things are thought bad, and all bad things am thought goodest!  At Bizzarro Earth, am big crime to fight evil, and speak truth!  Bizzarro Courts am for making sure most unborn children are killed as possible, and Bizzarro Judges am suppossed to take away rights they don't like!  But Bizzarro Judges are also to make sure police go to jail, and drug smugglers get big payoffs! Bizzarro politics is where Bizzarro's elect people to not represent them, and to make good things for Bizzarro's enemies to come true! Bizzarro Congress gives money to troops, but makes them not spend it to fight! Peanuts am to be thought big wartime emergency in Bizzarro Earth!  Bizzarro also have GOOOD laws for aliens. Aliens what am illegal am given extra get out of jail free cards! Am allowed to get $200 without passing 'GO' or even rolling dice, cause they am hard working, and deserve it!  In Bizzarro world am considered courage and safety to let mad dog killer walk around and shot people, if Bizzarros don't fight back!  In Bizzarro Earth, am criminals who can get guns, and honest folks what am not able to get them!  Bizzarros have gun laws! Bizzarros can have them, but never carry them, load them, practice with them, keep them in thier houses, or cars, and definetly Bizzarros am not ble to put them inside coat pocket or purse. Bizzarro must think really hard about them gun if they am needing it, cause that is as close as Bizzarro am allowed to legally get!  John am very very happy in Bazzarro Earth, because him can be like other Bizzaros, and discuss how Bizarro civilization am cream of the crap, and all others inferior because they are NOT BIZZARRO!
