Actually on the internet I'm much more reserved than I am IRL. Dissent does not require you to resort to childish insults and name calling. No, I don't agree with you. But there are others here with whom I don't agree and yet with whom I can have a civil discussion and exchange of ideas without resort to insults.
I believe 4 persons provided their eyewitness accounts of the incident and Mitt Romney did not deny their recollection. For me that is substantial evidence of the truth of their recollections.
Who insulted you? Who called you a name? Nobody did. Pretty sure I am the only one holding that distinction presently. Observe:
By the if you way, if you called me a self licking ice cream in real life, I'd beat the living shit out of you.Maybe you should moderate the language you choose to use. Just because you're anonymous and online doesn't mean all civility needs to be thrown to the wind.
Personally, I'd like to see you take your gay-liberal bashing and put it where Mitt has apparently put his.
You took a generalized statement to the entire thread and applied it specifically to yourself, and then threatened violence. "Self licking ice cream cone" is a phrase very often used to describe a self validating idea.. or anything that exists for the sake of itself. You could easily have asked me what I was saying before telling me how I needed to talk in a forum and then telling me how you'd deal with me in person. You didn't say it, but your friend implied that I'm not physically able to beat anyone up who doesn't agree with me. That's where both of you fail in your defense of the topic.
Again, calling me childish is a mark on you. Threatening violence is a mark on you. I'm not insulting you or calling you out beyond the internet tough guy remark. I give two rat's asses if you don't like how I talk, and I would expect your opinion to be likewise.
I did read the accounts from friends of Mr. Romney, it's a political shill. I don't care what teenage Mr. Romney did or what teenage Mr. Obama did, or anything in-between. I care about their plans on the economy, their plans on maintaining world relationships, their domestic programs, education reform, military spending.
What Mr. Romney did 45 years hence is between him, his conscience and the family of the victim....and the family has made it clear they do not want this used politically.
I agree with them, and yet people who have anything to gain from this politically do not agree. THAT is monstrous and unconscionable.
