The Right-Wing Fringe Threatens the Republican Party

So...in your own words.....
I'd call that more ignorance than being part of the fringe. However, if you support the positions of the fringe, then you are a fringe.
Obama is the defacto head of the Democrat Party and a left wing loon!!!!
We agree on this.
Now..as far as the Republican Party goes I will say this right up front. There is NO leader of that party right now. They throw out some names now and again to see what sort of crazed left wing loon attack will be launched against them and then move on to someone else. Sooner or later they are going to have to shit or get off the pot.

Yes, Obama is the head of the Democrat Party. I suppose it's how you define Leftist? Yes, Obama is a Leftist but he's not a Liberal. Considering his behavior since he's taken office, he has been anything but.

The GOP has a leader. His name is Michael Steele and he's a buffoon.

Don't make assumptions.

A leftist is defined as someone who supports left wing loon policies. They do NOT necessarily have to be the head of the Democrat Party. It just so happens that Obama is both.

and FYI....Steele is the "head" of the GOP in name only. Just as that dumb ass Terry McCauliffe and Howard "Exploding Head" Dean were the "head's" when the Democrats were out of power.
 
Racist.


*as it seems diviseness is on the menu today, I'll play*

Not at all. Michael Steele is a idiot. Something people on both sides of the political spectrum can agree with.

It's not exactly head in name only. Considering a group of people considered him the person to be the voice for the party. Like to know what drugs they were doing. :lol:
 
Actully, I don't think you are racist, in general. However, you gave me a perfect example to demonstrate the divisive lunatics' methodology.

In general? I'm not racist at all.

Also, the lunatics are the lunatics. Anyone with two brain cells can tell the difference between a loon and someone who has common sense.

Ahhh...there you go assuming again...Steele was selected for one reason only...to be the lightning rod for the left to focus on....this way the Republicans can field other potential heads/candidates without too much left wing loon vitriol being directed their way. A clever strategy indeed if you choose to apply Sun Tzu's principles of warfare to the political spectrum.

If that's the case, then their "clever strategy" failed. In the age of the Internet, such strategies are always going to fail. People aren't just going to concern themselves with Steele's idiot comments. If any of the others say something stupid, it will be focused on.
 
One clear indication of what I call a fringe is one who hasn't the ability to recognize that a fringe exists on both sides of the political aisle.

Could you provide a demonstration of what you consider to be a position which exemplifies 'the right wing fringe'?
I think the neo-Nazis would fit that bill.

The interesting thing to me is that the right/conservatives tend to do a very good job of denouncing their fringe, much to the dismay of the left/libs. Whereas the lef/lib fringe seem to be the ones who torque up some of the more moderate liberals. The libs do a less efficient job of separating themselves from their own fringe, IMO.
 
Just because it comes form Reason magazine doesn't mean it's still not a strawman argument.

In fact, I find it a bit of a disappointment that it's from that source.

I think its bang on.

There are others on the right saying the same thing.

When members of one's own are saying that one's group is veering to far too the edges of sanity, its best to listen.
The others on the reputed right saying that are the McWeenie squish sellout "moderates", who have lost the last two elections.

BHO is an excellent practicioner of the Sun Tzu method of strategy. The GOP never, ever knew what hit them and simply could not hit back effectively. They flailed and failed.

That is exactly what FDR did to the Pubs. And that is what will happen in 2012: another GOP failure.
 
Does any one else find it hilariously funny that we're getting lectured about the Fringe from Democrats, a Party that votes with Socialist Bernie Sanders 96% of the time and has a President that spend 20 years in a Fringe Black Separatist Church listening to Rev Wrong talk about Greedy White People and how we deserved 9/11?

Bernie Sanders on his worst day is a 100x smarter than you on your best day.

Shouldn't you be busy planning for when the Government comes to take you and your guns away? :eusa_eh:

Yeah, Fringe Boy, you're credible

Isn't it funny that it was Rev. Wright who joined the Marines, not drafted, then became a Navy Medic, was valedictorian, was part of the team that operated on President Johnson, earned three White House commendations and finished his military career with an honorable discharge. The military KNEW where he was.

Then Wright kind of changed his tune when the facts of the Tuskegee Experiment became known. Pity, he should have been more forgiving.

The Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment

For forty years between 1932 and 1972, the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) conducted an experiment on 399 black men in the late stages of syphilis. These men, for the most part illiterate sharecroppers from one of the poorest counties in Alabama, were never told what disease they were suffering from or of its seriousness. Informed that they were being treated for “bad blood,” their doctors had no intention of curing them of syphilis at all.

The data for the experiment was to be collected from autopsies of the men, and they were thus deliberately left to degenerate under the ravages of tertiary syphilis—which can include tumors, heart disease, paralysis, blindness, insanity, and death. “As I see it,” one of the doctors involved explained, “we have no further interest in these patients until they die.”

The Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment

You know what is especially hilarious? I bet that less then 1% of Republicans have done as much for this country as Wright. Marines? Navy Medic? Operated on President? Much less than 1%.

They were these flat little pills that looked kinda like tokens.

EDIT: Never mind. A long-held misconception just got torpedoed.

Which right-wing fringe?.....The party is noting but a bunch of squishes, fundies and neocons, none of whom really support anything resemblng what a Taft or Goldwater would do.
You'd disagree with Goldwater, totally. He was a true Libertarian.
