juno jones,

You are the idiot. Read your quote again. All men are CREATED equal. After the point of creation, your outcome is left up to you. Thats the essence of liberty. Europeans value the equality of outcomes. Thats not an American value.

Dennis Prager’s “hysteria” claims are as vile as Hitler’s claims that Jews were evil and ‘Aryans’ are the superior race. Prager never murdered anyone, but in thought process terms he and Hitler are very similar…hateful evil disguised as righteousness.

Re: Devil’s Advocate

I’m not sure you have much case there. And even if you did, the reaction of the crowd makes it perfectly clear how they are interpreting it – it’s immediate, visceral and aggressive. The ONLY thing that matters is how the crowd takes it. You’re just making excuses and obscuring the effect.

If a certain half-black, half-white candidate with a Muslim-sounding name had said this they would have to call the paramedics to resuscitate dozens of people in the crowd.

You can’t have your own personal history of the United States of America. Sorry!

No, it’s not, Devil’s Advocate. I provided the quote and the source video.

He wasn’t talking about the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence. In fact, he says so. This is borderline libel.

Wow. These are some seriously disturbed people. I can’t believe any sane person would give them the time of day. But, that’s why the Republican Party is becoming irrelevent; it is intent upon becoming the exclusive home for the maladjusted in this country.

Yes, those ’60s radicals have certainly taken over one of the parties. The Republican party has been completely taken over by the John Birch Society.

These talk radio guys are asking for it. They seem to be trying to create some kind of secessionist insurrection. They are intentionally dividing the country and have specifically delineated the borders of “Real America” and “Liberal/Commie/Intellectualoid America”.

To me, this is sedition. They almost seem to be advocating a USSR style breakup.

It is pure propaganda. The signature of that is how they rhetorically lead people to conclusions but stop short of actually SAYING do this or think that. As in “Obama pals around with terrorists” and he “sympathizes with terrorists” and he’s “Muslim” etc. Then the audience draws the obvious conclusion that Obama IS a terrorist and that “something” must be done. And they know exactly what they are doing.
