(I actually think that you don't know what they mean though...)



Huh? You're offended by burning effigy's?

Personally I don't give a rats ass whether the right burns Obama's effigy... what I care about is whether or not you actually have a point when you do it.

All this town hall nonsense I've seen from over here is simply right wing fearmongering.

Furthermore... we know you've lost all sense of reason when you start justifying a 2 wrongs as a "right".
You have a very poor perspective on the issues and emotions from way over there, then. It isn't "fearmongering", it's genuine anger at what the President and Congress are trying to ram through against the will of the people.

And it isn't "2 wrongs make a right", it's that after doing the same thing and worse for 8 years, the hypocrisy of crying foul now is appalling and ridiculous. If there were some genuine attempt to reign things under control in the Bush years, they might have some credibility when calling for it now, but there wasn't, and so they don't. It's pure partisanship meant to disrupt all but the meekest opposition to the leftist agenda.
