theim said:seriously though. I just read an article about all the liberal heckling of conservative people on campus', involving throwing things etc. Then this and the DeLay shirt. Didn't some on this board predict they would get violent when they lost the last election?
Isn't advocating the assassination of the President of the United States a federal offense ? I remember a student in upstate New York made a threat to kill Clinton in a term paper and was visited by the Secret Service. How is wearing a T-shirt that says "Kill Bush" different?Kathianne said:

There are people with "run Hillary run" bumperstickers on the front of their car where I live, but I don't start threads saying how intolerant "the right" is.

If you put a bumpersticker on the front of your car the only people who can read it, see it backwards through the rearview mirror.....silly Democrats!

The "Democratic stance of tolerance" is simply a myth because there is no such thing. The Democratic stance requires that you agree with them or you will be labelled a racist, a homophobe, or a hate-speech monger. If that doesn't work, they'll hunt you down to throw pies or various other items at you, heckle conservative speakers whenever and wherever possible, shoot up the premises of opposing voting organizations and other such "tolerant" activities.
Now the left wing pigs come out with explicit threats against the life of the President of the United States, and here you are trying to minimize that with your specious rationalizations. How thoroughly disgusting. You claim on the one hand that Sen DeLay (whom I despise) threatened judges with physical violence when he did no such thing. Unlike the tee shirt which you find so inoffensive, there was nothing in DeLay's statement which could be extrapolated into a death threat by any reasonable interpretation. Of course, expecting a reasonable anything from leftist fools is pretty much like expecting a rock to roll uphill. DeLay said that these judges should be held to account for their decisions. I believe that every judge and every politician should be held to account for their decisions. That doesn't mean that I'm recruiting a firing squad. Yet you seek to interpret a threat of physical violence from that statement while failing to express any outrage whatever at a tee shirt which contains a direct and explicit threat against the life of our President.
It's way past time that the Secret Service and the administration start taking a more hard-nosed attitude about crap like this. Somebody's ass needs to be on the way to prison - and for a good long time too.
Think I'll have a tee shirt made that says "Protect the truth - shoot a Democrat". See how you like that, buttwipe.

IControlThePast said:Please show me anywhere I defended the maker of this t-shirt. I find it very offensive and reprehensible.
There are plenty of crazy and stupid people out there on each side, but you can't say they're representative of the true beliefs of each party.
I know there is no such thing as a Democratic stance of tolerance (if it exists at all it is bipartisan), and that is why I qualified it with a "supposedly" in my post.
I never claimed Delay did anything with my post, you're just getting very defensive about whatever he said. I merely claimed that the head Democrats don't seem to express the same intolerant views the t-shirt maker does.
I can't see how you can equate the political positioning of a failing t-shirt retailer with the supposedly Democratic stance of tolerance. It's not like the minority leader is making implicit death threats to judges.

Kindly don't try this favorite lib tactic with me. You minimize and deride the outrageous and illegal tee shirt, then turn around and infer that DeLay was making death threats against judges. Then you have the damn balls to claim that you said nothing of the sort and attempt to put the onus on others to "prove" you said that.
