I don't care about analogies or what it sounds like. If you can't kill demagogues then you have to shout them down. I for one don't want to be on side of history that was too polite to survive. We here in the US take this politeness thing too far. Has anyone ever seen CSPAN Minister Takes Questions? Even that somewhat sarcastic good natured shouting in Parliament is something we'd never do here but if we did we'd never have a retarded crack monkey for President either. These shitheads are literally an assault on our civil rights and if it takes getting firehosed then so be it.
There are plenty of nice places in the world either w/o extradition or it's not politically digestible to do so.
It must be the Jews, they're behind everything. Hows the George Lincoln Rockwell national monument going?
Maybe what you need to do is literally scream obscenities at Coulter in every venue every time all the time. The networks can't broadcast that and they'd have to hire security just to get all the screamers out of the building. Maybe you literally need to pelt her with garbage and shit every time all the time. That's really the only thing people like that understand. Maybe you need to get your friends and bullhorn the shit out of where she lives and works and you need to do it in the loudest most offensive obscene extreme way you can imagine. Let the whine and piss and moan that they're being censored. They are. And it's good and when they complain curse and scream at those people too. Shout them down in the most offensive way possible.
These assholes, Chris Matthews included make all sorts of money from public and private speaking engagements. It's not hard to find out their schedules. Show up and curse your fucking heads off at them. All the time, every time. Go to book signings too. Cause a ruckus. They don't care, they love the attention but their sponsors don't like it.
And for you nerds, bomb their email. Bury them in hate mail. Bury their shows email in hate mail. Nonstop. Crush them.
Who says it has to be fair or nice? Fuck em. Fuck em all to death.
This is professional wrestling staged for your benefit. There is no outcome and even if there was, it would be fake. This is all as meaningless as the entire political process and arena in America has become. At least the dictators of yore could dress better than the hacks we have now.
You DO understand that the term "Loyal Opposition" is an insulting term, don't you? It means a weak useless opposition that works hand in glove with the leaders to give the appearance of legitimate dissent.
Maybe Chavez and Castro get it right. Declare yourself El Presidente for Life. Fascists love it, communists love it, anarchists love it and hippies just stay home and smoke out.
As long as someone else pays for it. 90% of the total healthcare consumption for a person, on average is in the last 12 months of life. It is clearly a waste of time and effort. We should at the least expand hospice care to comfort those people in their last 12 months. It's kinder and cheaper.
So called senior Senators calling for a change in policy are calling for a better strategy to reclaiming Congress. That is all. And since Americans have a 7 second attention span, all Lugar need to is make the call. Now half of Americans will have embedded in their minds that Republicans are as opposed to the war as they are. Voila, instant boost in the next electoral cycle. It means nothing because Congress is nothing and does nothing. Yeah sure, Sen. Lugar. Call the troops home. You do that. I'll be holding my breath over here till you do.
This administration doesn't have the inclination to round up people. Why? Because they don't care or worry about what you think do or say. They don't have to intimidate people.
You can't shame the shameless. You can't scold a person with no conscience. Some people would rather be hated than ignored. Ms. Coulter has succeeded because she's good at being hated than ignored. All the namecalling and screaming for her head is pointless.
And by the way, Chris Matthews is cut of the same cloth. He just packages it better. Mr. Matthews rarely even listens to the people talking on his own show. You can see it yourself. He just looks for a moment to shout and scream and interrupt people. It's all about him.
Whether either of them believes the words coming out of their mouths or not is unimportant. Because the words themselves aren't important. The only that matter to them is that you get to hear them shout. Freudians would have a field day with either of them. There's a whole volume of notes on the problems of toilet training that they experienced.
