It was rude and I'm glad that his likely opponent received some donations as a result of this jerk's behavior.
I'm lost here. Does he have a history of calling people MFs?

Look, trust me. I get it. The right has been running the state of Mississippi since forever and a gd day. I grew up there. Trust me, I know overt hostility when I see it. I also know the covert. And it's hardly Obama's fault for hundreds of years of hostility. You have got to be kidding me. Obama is bringing the wrath of the right down on all of us non-whites, oh ok. Because they can't help their feelings, like Wilson.
Where do/did you live? Obviously not MS in the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s.... Please. Adults were well in on that bs. And if you do/did, obviously your head was in the sand.
ETA: By the way, before you accuse me of being a reckless non-whte woman....oh wait, too late.
I love how you're saying Obama is bringing hell and brimstone from the right on all of us. Another case of knee jerk reactions being justified by you.

Did you not see where I said it was classes and disrespectful? You just refuse to compare like to like.

I don't think this is racially motivated. I already told you that. I think there is a great divide between left and right and it is a fight against the ideals of socialism on the left and capitalism on the right. I'm sorry, but I think people of color are innocent pawns to the powers that be.
And no, I didn't grow up in MS.

I think this hostility we're seeing is racism and a healthy dose cloaked in economic policy conflict.

I'm a righty and I'm white. Every single person in my social circle as well as in my sphere of political influence that I personally know are not motivated by race.
You can chose to believe it or not.

I think it is dishonest to use my quote in your signature without including the entire quote, or at least show that it has been edited.

Oh, I believe you.
Are you and yours also the ones who are going to be doling out the peril, bringing on the pain? I mean, assuming you and yours represent the pulse of this nation, after all.

Oh you mean the "I'm not racist, I married someone who's not white/have mixed kids?" Oh ok. I will definitely leave that in. It does give it that extra something. I was just trying to figure how I could fit this gem in in it's entirety, and I will just eliminate all the dramatic indentations. But I don't think I can put your entire post in my signature. Sorry.

It is motivated by money. Both sides are being pushed.

I was trying to be lighthearted (it was once said that was his favorite word) but I'm sure Rahm acted professionally.
If you only listen to FOX News and Rush Limbough, you will think everyone agrees with you. YOU are not the pulse of the nation.
What is the peril to come? The wrath of the right? I'm quivering. The Republicans have no viable candidates.

So what? It's just a temper tantrum. The right has had their foot on the neck of the nation for the past 8 years and now they're pissed to have lost power. I do not care.
The Dems finally have a chance to fix a few things. The Reps have never done one thing to fix healthcare, and they never will, so if the Dems don't fix it now, it'll never get fixed. The righties will just have to suck it up.

You're right. I'm not the pulse of the nation.
You must admit however, that I am the lone voice on this thread in support of the right. That isn't a typical ratio reflecting the political leanings of the US. We seem to be almost equally divided 50/50.
As I said before, NC.com is heavily weighted to the left.

Sarah Palin and Bobby Jindal. Wouldn't that be a winning ticket! All their other viable candidates have been caught with hookers and/or cheating on their wives.

I think she's referring to violence and assassinations and that ilk. You know, what "real" Americans, the pulse of our nation, resort to when they really mean business.

Ugh...I worry about that every time I see Obama walking in the open or appearing before a large crowd. It only takes one crazy **** to end it all...and, unfortunately, there seem to be millions of crazy ****s on the right.

I wonder if you can refute my ideas instead of attacking me personally. It really helps in debate.
I have never, ever, not once said anything about violence or assassinations or ever called anyone a "real" American.
Every American citizen is a "real" American. Everyone gets a voice. Isn't it great? And I pray daily for our President, especially for his safety.
Oops, did I say pray?

You said:
Boy, you must have been asleep during the 2008 election. Now, I don't see hostility except from some talk show hosts, a fake news station and some yahoos at town hall meetings. Tell us what peril you are referring too if it isn't that?

If you go back to page one you will see that I only agreed with what was

and I respectfully agreed.
I myself did not bring up the issue of peril. I simply agreed with curlyarca.
