thats my point stew, I cant find any crazies on my side!
I sure would appreciate the help identifying them...i keep hearing about them but where are they?
lets both see if we can come up with a right wing group that is as messed up as ACORN (12 current investagations for voter fraud), where conservitives in congress has recently tried to get billions of taxpayer dollars for them....(Liberals tried this week to do this for ACORN)
Lets try to find a conservitive activists group that protested something in the last 3 months, was covered by mainstreme media and more than 5 of their members were tossed in jail for breaking the law....or for breaking stuff....
(Over 300 liberals were arrested for breaking windows and assaulting police during the Republican National Convention)
I will certainly do my best to find some group on the conservitive side that meets the criteria. Please help me! Cuz right now, I keep thinking im a right wing wacko (oh by the way Chuck Shumer has said that Hanity and those of us who believe like him are far right radicals who are outside of the mainstreme")
Ferd, are you saying that you don't believe there are radical right wingers who consider themselves to be Republican?

I am saying that there is a conspicuous absense of evidence that suggests the right is equal to the left in radical members.
I have given you 2 examples of radical left wing organizations/groups that have CONGRESSIONAL SUPPORT from ELECTED DEMOCRATS that are either in jail, or under indictment, for radical political behavior.
I have yet to find ANY such organization on the right. I am MORE than willling to back off if anyone can point to the same kind of thing from right wingers.
What I do know, is that when Liberals talk about crazy Right wing radicals, they either dont give examples or they give Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hanity, George Bush, Dick Cheney and Paul Wolfouwitz as the examples.
Not a single one of those guys has broken the law, 2 have been voted for by more than half the voters of this country and 2 of them have 20 million member radio listenership....
So help me out. help me find some crazy wacky rightwing groups. I would love to feel like I am mainstreme and not a radical!

Ferd, I am not one to argue that extreme liberals are not crazy and are not rampant. Extreme liberalism is something that is spreading all over the world and in many spectrums from religion to politics.
I consider radical right wingers, the ones with the crazy race issues and things of that nature. The people you named may be blindly partisan to an extent but not radical in my opinion.

And here is my point. those radical racists are repudiated by all conservitives. You would never see them garner support in congress.
To say they are radical right wingers may be accurate but they are not part of the conservitive/republican movement. They are rejected out right.
on the other side however, the rules are different. these radicals like ACORN GET MONEY FROM CONGRESS. Or at the very least, liberals in congress work to get them money. They have real clout in congress. These groups were the ones calling for loans to poor people everyone knew couldnt pay them back.... They have actual real support in our government. and they are radical and even law breakers.
There is no such animal in the conservitive side of the equasion.

I understand Ferd. My point was not to imply that radical left and radical right were mirror images of each other. My point was that I do not consider you to be radical right. I didn't mean to offend you with that

The Bush (Ferds favorite prez.) is installing socialism and none of you right wingers are saying a word.
Your old boy Mr. McCan'tremember is signing on to this march to socialism but I don't hear you right wingers saying a word about this march to socialism.
You talk about people that speak with forked tongues the REPUBLICANS have mastered " man who speak with forked tongue". Oh yea "woman who speak with forked tongue"
You are wrong, the bill did not pass because conservatives called and emailed their representatives and told them if the voted for it the would throw them out in November. It shut down the phone lines and the website.
If the congress will keep their hands off the private sector will come in for the discounted paper and snap it up. Let the market work, the Demos have demanded these institutions give loans to folks that can't pay them long enough.

OP, the same can be said of what the GOP has been doing to the religious right. I am convinced that this is what has been happening and they are able to accomplish this by giving us a few hot-button religious based issues to preoccupy ourselves with (that they have no intention of ever doing anything about)...while governing in a way that reflects their total lack of accountability to the conservatives. I am convinced that the GOP that you'll see in ten years will basically be the Democratic party of ten years ago.
So are you ready to charge down the hallowed halls of our ruling oligarchy with guns blazing and end this tyranny of special interests and corrupted purposes?
Or are you just going to mope about and watch our freedoms slip away one by one like the rest of us?
It doesn't have to be so bleak. There is one truly hope-inspiring change agent in the mix: Governor Sarah Palin.
The trick is to get her into office before she's corrupted . . . .
Realistically, it is too much to expect a happy ending. We have had too much government intervention in social and economic engines, for too long, to be able to simply stop. We are going to become a failed state, and the best that we can hope for is that we don't get nuked, and don't take as long to dig out as the Russians have.
When an economic crisis like this happens to a third world country they're told to privatize everything, remove all tariffs, stop public spending and devalue their currencies. We're busy trying to hand off $700,000,000,000 to one or two appointed officials, with BILLIONS of pork and earmarks stuffed into this supposedly emergency, stop-the-doomsday-countdown, RESCUE bill . . .
This is a manufactured crisis, with a bunch of politicization, posturing, and election-year grandstanding.
Haven't we just approved a $700 billion defense budget for the year?

A wacko is someone who refuses to look at all sides of a subject both right and left.
I think you are being hypocritical when you use the argument they are my Br. and sisters. Where was your out rage when your republican friends that are the supposed br and sis. call those that differ from them communist?
Its called Federalism, a form of government that Jefferson railed against and Hamilton fell in love with, goes way back before the days of Socialism.
Started with the first Federal chartered bank.

Right wing wacko's? Are you unaware that the people who post here are alsoyour brothers and sisters in Christ?
What exactly are you referring to? Links/sources, if you don't mind.
Maybe not missb. May they do not serve the real Christ. You know, the one we all serve. =)
That could be the answer to why they could use such language/names against someone.
