    Republican or Democrat really does not matter. Hatred, bigotry and advocating violence are unacceptable. However, it is much more of a problem for the GOP as they are associated in people's minds with the Tea Party.

    How can you defend their actions and still say you are for freedom for all?

    If the GOP stays associated with the Tea Party it will come back to bite them hard in the future. Surely they a loosing many votes from minority groups they tried to woo the last 8 years.

    I am against hatred, violence, bigotry and racism regardless of the person's party. You should also! This is not liberal or conservative, it is a moral issue.

    Please show where anyone on this thread has defended the actions of these people? You act like people here are doing that. Show us your proof.

    If you are against racism so much, please join a thread against that (http://baptistboard.com/showthread.php?t=65246) and speak out against the racists mentioned on that thread.

    You say "Republican or Democrat really does not matter."

    Then you say "GOP associated with the Tea Party".

    Your agenda is showing.

    The GOP does not control the Tea Party.

    They may wish that they did - but they do not.

    As far as I can see - the one who truly hates others is you.

    Bingo! I agree with you on the minority part especially, soon those diverse groups will be a majority and will vote democrat.Perhaps later they will vote moderate Republican but Tea Party Republican , No Way!

    The Tea Party is destroying the GOP, no such thing as moderate Republican they are dropping like flies, so many embarassing videos out there on Tea Party extremeist. Maybe Homeland Security was right after all they are going to turn to violence.

    And who is it that you think that these minority groups have been voting for up until now if not Democrat?

    The Tea Party is not a political party with a slate of candidates.

    The Tea Party is made up of Democrats, Independents and Republicans that can see that the government is taking away our traditional freedoms.

    The Tea Party is not the GOP and is not controlled by the GOP.

    Your post demostrates that you are sorely misinformed on the entire subject.

    You claim to be against all violence, yet you only dwell on what you deem "violence from conservatives." The verdict: Intellectually dishonest.

    You claim to be all about non-violence, non-bigotry, etc., and say "Republican or Democrat does not matter." Yet, you refuse to ever condemn behavior of leftists, statists, socialists, or Democrats. Once again, the verdict: Intellectually dishonest.

    You have yet to show any pattern of systemic violence whatsoever that can be attributed to the R's or the Tea Party:
    • You do have accusations, but absolutely no proof (remember--thought you're not honest enough to admit it...there have been instances of left-wing violence at Democratic locations). The verdict: Intellectually dishonest.
    • You are willing to impugn millions (yes, millions) based on the actions of a half-dozen (who might not even be Tea Party folks). Are you willing to indict all black people because of what a few Panthers did? (This is where you tell me to stick to the subject, because I just nailed you yet again). The verdict: Intellectually dishonest.
    • Multiple times, it's been posted that we believe that folks engaged in violence should be prosecuted. But, because you are dishonest, you refuse to acknowledge that we have said that, and you further accuse folks without cause of being "against freedom for all." Quit lying. We've spoken out about the violence. Now man up, and admit you're wrong. The verdict: Intellectually dishonest.
    You, sir, are not against hatred. You lie repeatedly on this board. This belies any statements you make against "hatred." You hate Republicans...you hate "tea party" members. Anyone who is willing to engage in deliberate and consistent falsehoods in order to promote their agenda (and hurt others) has made their intentions, and their character, clear.

    The verdict: Intellectually dishonest.

    I doubt it.

    When you "kind of nail" CTB...he lectures you.

    When you "nail" CTB...he gives you reading assignments.

    But when you "REALLY nail" CTB...he disappears like Nancy Pelosi's frown lines.

    I hit him pretty good...he'll stay off this thread for at least the next few hours.

    Fortunately, though, people aren't really as stupid as you seem to believe they are, and aren't buying your lies about the Tea Parties.

    The same way I can like cornbread and still say that the Phillies will win the pennant.

    Of all of your idiotic lies, this one is the most telling. If you really knew anything about the Tea Parties, then you'd know that, not only is the GOP not affiliated with them, but that the Tea Parties have been very harsh and consistent critics of the GOP.

    Not according to the polls, or according to the large number of minorities involved with the Tea Parties.

    That's good. Now if you would just be against stupidity and dishonesty.

    there are a lot more.

    This lady claims to be a Christian and wrote her once , who it is who knows???
    but she is filled with hate and shows violent tendencies.

    The Baptist Board needs to condemn this and not remain silent or make an excuse and try to blame others.


    anybody who thinks the GOP is not working to absorb or be a part of the Tea Party extremists are delusional . I think moderates in the Republican party are leaving (David Frum). So why hate on Crabtown he is just giving his opinion. People chill out it is just our opinion.

    The Baptist Board has no responsibility to condemn anything. As an individual I condemn any acts of violence, no matter the political affiliation of the criminal. Others here have already said the same thing.

    I call on you to condemn the racists in the other thread (http://baptistboard.com/showthread.php?t=65246).

    Not an insult, just a statement of fact. You are a flip-flopper. You were a liberal, then conservative, and not liberal again. You = flip-flop.

    You are so witty, it's amazing!

    This is exactly what I was talking about on another thread:

    I have noticed that if anyone attempts to defend CTB, again they are labeled as "liberal." It seems like anyone that disagrees with you automatically gets this label. It doesn't matter what CTB posts he is attacked by you. You never address the substance of his posts, you construct straw men and then attack them. Even a fool would acknowledge that much of what CTB says is accurate, but I guess this would exclude you.

    And you don't consider this an insult? This shows your level of maturity, and probably your lack of education as well.

    OK, folks...I apologize; I should have gotten out at post #1. There have been some salient points brought forth, but the rhetoric's too hot. I don't want to contribute (to the heat) any further.

    Bye!:wavey:

    If you find it insulting that someone brings up facts about you, then maybe the things you do are insulting? I can't help it that you are a flip-flopper.

    Is my lack of education also attributed to the fact that I am an immigrant's son?

    So if I call you a wife beater, I think you'd be insulted. That would not make it true. Your lack of logic on this is showing.

    Of course it wouldn't make it true. You have nothing to back the claim up. In Snow's case we have his history on this board to back up that he's gone from liberal to conservative and back to liberal again.

    No, many immigrants go to college. Maybe it is just being lazy, or perhaps you have never had the desire or opportunity.
