Waiting for the cheers from the NeoCons....

SW and Jenn had a much better response than I did.

[SpursWoman]

WTF, ex?


I find extremely disturbing a lot of what you seem to think about conservatives. You do realize that a very large portion, if not the majority, are people just like me, right? Do I strike you as being intolerant and heartless?

We're not monsters, or bigots, or whatever other horrible, stereotypical, outdated trait you'd like to throw out there next....

That was a terrible thing to say. :(

If you read the thread, you will see that the ridicule was directed at the blogger...not in celebration of Susan Sontag's death.

um, read again...they were PRAISING the blogger, not ridiculing him

I don't know about Jenn, but I never saw that thread
yeah, why am i not surprised

[exstatic]

SW and SJ: are you NeoCons? Neither of you ever struck me as such. There are those here who have advocated dropping a-bombs on the Islamic hajj this year. This would be for them.

1. neocon
Morally idealistic conservatatives. neocon is short for neo-conservative. Neocons separate themselves from Republicans that are traditionally fiscal conservative.

Slang - Crusading republican.
Slang - Neocons exist separated into two very distinct groups. The largest, group one, are the people below the 99th income percentile. They are religous and/or war-mongering blowhard lemmings who follow the second group; The second group is made up of the top one percent. They cut taxes for themselves, borrow trillions (second term pending), and their behavior is largely selfish. Of necessity, they pay Rove to pipe tabloid for the Rats. Lemmings rather. Whichever, they both work.
Vulgar - White bible thumping trash.

[violentkitten]

clearly they were laughing with not at the author

[violentkitten]

hee hee clavin calling other people white trash

[Yonivore]

why am i not surprised to find yonivore and neocon in the midst of that
What are you hissing about? I'm not even involved in this thread...but, since you've got my attention; I would be a bit surprised to find out she "collapsed" because she needed an excuse to bail so she wouldn't have to figure out how to pander to opposing contituencies...what with her new-found religion and anti-abortion leanings.

Hitlary is a sham...never trust anything she says, does, or is reported to have done.

[CommanderMcBragg]

I wish her nothing but the best.

[violentkitten]

oh shut up you damn old hypocritical fart

[dcole50]

yeah, she faked the flu. glad you're on top of this shit, yoni.

[CommanderMcBragg]

oh shut up you damn old hypocritical fart

Oh shut up and lick me.

[violentkitten]

wasnt directed at you but now it is

[bigzak25]

i don't like hillary. but uh...hopefully she's ok.

[CommanderMcBragg]

Damn it, I guess I am an old hypocritical fart.

My bad as you young folk say.

[CommanderMcBragg]

i don't like hillary. but uh...hopefully she's ok.

Hopefully? Does that mean part of you wants her to drop dead?

[Yonivore]

yeah, she faked the flu. glad you're on top of this shit, yoni.
So, you're her doctor? Because, of course, we all know politicians never fake anything...

[travis2]

Hopefully? Does that mean part of you wants her to drop dead?

How in the world could you ever get that???

Let's see..."hopefully she's OK" now means "part of me wants her to drop dead".

That's an abuse of English I don't think I've seen yet...

[dcole50]

all i said was that i'm glad you've figured this all out.

[SpursWoman]

yeah, why am i not surprised



Maybe because I happened to be fucking busy that day? Or that maybe some days I get enough of young people who think they know everything by hanging out with my children and don't need to hang out here for the redundancy of that?




Absolutely amazing how the most intolerant people I've seen in this forum happen to be liberal.

[Bandit2981]

look SW, i know you and SJ arent in the same realm as Yoni, Hook, Travis, etc...but i dont think its right that you target people on the democratic side for making a remark, yet ive never seen you post anything of that nature to a conservative doing the same thing, or saying something worse. look at what yoni has been posting in this thread, wheres your rebuke of any of that? all im saying is your criticisms seem to be one-sided...but dont think i dont' know you are a more open-minded level-headed person than the rest

Sen. Clinton faints, later gives speech

By CAROLYN THOMPSON
Associated Press Writer


BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) -- Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton fainted Monday after complaining of a stomach virus before a scheduled speech on Social Security. She received medical attention at the scene and then went on to give another speech at a Catholic college Monday afternoon.

"It wasn't as dramatic as it sounds," Clinton said after the 30-minute speech.

Clinton aides said doctors believed she had a stomach virus. They said she felt weak at the private club where she was to speak, needed to sit down, and then fainted briefly.

Clinton, 57, was smiling when she walked out of the club, the general manager said.

"I saw her walk out the door by herself, she smiled and said `thank you'," said Saturn Club general manager Vincent Tracy.

Later Monday, she delivered a speech about health care at Canisius College. She was introduced by former U.S. Rep. John LaFalce, who told the crowd that Clinton went against doctor's advice because she was committed to talking about health care.

Clinton was to return to Washington after the speech, the last event on her public schedule.

In September, Clinton's 58-year-old husband underwent quadruple bypass surgery.

During an earlier editorial board meeting Monday at The Buffalo News, Clinton complained about suffering from a flu-like bug that affected several of her staff members during a weekend retreat in Westchester County, where she lives.

The former first lady has said she plans to run for re-election in 2006.

Oh if that isn't the pot calling the kettle black.

Conservatives in this forum do a fine job of being intolerant.

excuse me???

[Yonivore]

I never said she wasn't sick. Just that I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be a ruse. She's an evil, lying bitch.

And, as far as wishing her ill. I couldn't care less if she lived to be a 100 or dropped dead tomorrow.

As for prior tasteless remarks, No. 1, I rarely read every thread in this forum and No. 2., I can't deny that most of the time I ignore them....from either side. I certainly don't agree with them.....I just don't think that way or that badly about anyone.

I've been cleaning up vomit this afternoon, so pardon my negligence in smacking Yonivore around for those types of remarks. Priorities, you know.....vomit actually does smell worse than some of his posts. :)

Depends on what you drank the night before. ;)

I don't even know who Susan Sontag is.

I have been called one, even if I'm not entirely sure what the true definition of NeoCon is.

We've had a flu epidemic at my house, Yonivore.....not because of last night's drunken debachery. :fro

[Useruser666]

I don't read every thread in this forum. I don't comment on every tiny injustice or misguided comment because I either don't have time or don't care. Just because everyone doesn't correct everyone else doesn't mean that is a nod of approval.

Nor did I.

And nice pseudo-definition for "NeoCon" as well. I'm sure someone could come up with something equally biting in the other direction.

*sigh*

I give up.

If the assholes on both sides really have to have a d!ck-length contest then have at it.

Just know that the more reasonable among us are pulling out our magnifying glasses in case we're called to referee.

whoa man stop talking about dick

I got it off of a blog, and it was so over the top, it was supposed to be a funny. Leave it to you to miss that, Trav. :p

[JackLalanne]

She really needs to take better care of her health.

[Yonivore]

She really needs to take better care of her health.

Well Bandit, the election is over and had you been paying attention, I have complimented you several times here of late. I have been making a concerted effort to be more "civil" to my advesaries. If you want to continue down that path thats okay. I think you have been reading my comments to several other posters whom I won't mention. If I have insulted one of your "brothers" and you take offense to it, so be it. I do not need to gather in a herd to feel secure. I am capable of doing my own thinking and making my own decisions. I"m sorry if they don't coincide with yours but they are mine nonetheless. Unlike you, I will say once again that I think you are more level headed than a lot of people on here. Please take note of the fact that I did not feel the need to attack you for including my poster name in that example. PEACE!

[Hook Dem]

Oh, I forgot to address the thread title. I certainly hope Hillary is okay and recovers with speed. I harbor no bad intentions for her.

i know hook, i overreacted and offended some people, im guilty of being an ass to some on here on several occasions as well. i was just upset because it seems like people like Yoni and Neocon can post some pretty hateful and incindiary stuff, but it never seems like anyone from the right denounces what they say, but when a leftist leaner says something rude, everyone and their mother jumps all over them about it. i shouldnt have been so harsh, but thats how knee-jerk reactions are. i know you have calmed down the firepower quite a bit since the election, even way before it was over to some degree, and like you, i dont hate anyone here or this country. i disagree with many people's positions, and sometimes my emotions get the better of me responding. enough of my soliloquy...theres a game almost on! :hat

I agree, whether she lives another year or another fifty, burning in Hell for eternity will still be just as long.
