Judge Boggs Rules for Engagement

This pretty much sums up the state of political debate here on USMB and across various media in general:

I think we could just bring this thread to a conclusion by simply agreeing that:

All of MY SIDE's references and statements are to be taken in the coolest, hip-ironic, culturally aware, benign-metaphorical way possible (see Watts v. United States, and [granting my side the full benefit of the] the conflicting interpretive modes the various judges/justices on the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals [have approved]),

AND

All of YOUR SIDE's references and statements are to be taken in the most mindlessly literal, threatening way possible.

That should work for almost all of our commentators, of whatever persuasion.

Also, any charge against MY SIDE requires exquisite legally admissible proof of its accuracy,

WHEREAS

Any charge against YOUR SIDE must be true if it was asserted by anyone, anywhere.

People on MY SIDE are responsible only for what they said personally, in full-quotation context.

BUT

People on YOUR SIDE are responsible for the inferred implications of anything said by anyone who ever held any idea vaguely similar to what your people think.


OK?

Obama insists that the enemy get the first shot at our troops, they can only fire back if fired upon. So if you see one of those murderous fucks sneaking up on you with an RPG you can't take him out, he gets a shot at you and then if your not blown to bits our troops can fire back.

Not me, someone comes after me they asked for it, no rules. But that is why Obungles is a failure, progtards will never win a war

He's on another anti-American tour. What an embarrassment he has been in representing our country. He really is repugnant.
