And to think.. some in our group are worried that our actions make the GOP look bad. How does it look when prominent GOP figures incite violence to try and "ensure a Democrat is not elected as president".

Limbaugh is such a schmuck. Read his comment below about the 'American Left'. Apparently those folks 'kill their children...'

Rush Limbaugh Calling For Riots In Denver
Talk Show Host Wants America To See Actions Of 'Far Left'

DENVER -- Talk show host Rush Limbaugh is sparking controversy again after he made comments calling for riots in Denver during the Democratic National Convention this summer.

He said the riots would ensure a Democrat is not elected as president, and his listeners have a responsibility to make sure it happens.

"Riots in Denver, the Democrat Convention would see to it that we don't elect Democrats," Limbaugh said during Wednesday's radio broadcast. He then went on to say that's the best thing that could happen to the country.

Limbaugh cited Al Sharpton, saying the Barack Obama supporter threatened to superdelegates that "there's going to be trouble" if the presidency is taken from Obama.

Several callers called in to the radio show to denounce Limbaugh's comments, when he later stated, "I am not inspiring or inciting riots, I am dreaming of riots in Denver."

Limbaugh said with massive riots in Denver, which he called "Operation Chaos," the people on the far left would look bad.

"There won't be riots at our convention," Limbaugh said of the Republican National Convention. "We don't riot. We don't burn our cars. We don't burn down our houses. We don't kill our children. We don't do half the things the American left does."

He believes electing Democrats will hurt America's security and economy and appeared to call on his listeners to make sure that doesn't happen.

"We do, hopefully, the right thing for the sake of this country. We're the only one in charge of our affairs. We don't farm out our defense if we elect Democrats ... and riots in Denver, at the Democratic Convention will see to it we don't elect Democrats. And that's the best damn thing that can happen to this country, as far as I can think," Limbaugh said.

Denver will host the DNC on Aug. 25 to Aug. 28.

This man is telling people to vote for Hillary. So if there are riots over Obama not winning and it energizes people to vote Republican they get what? McCain? Doesn't he also hate McCain? More than Hillary? What exactly is he advocating? This guy is nuts.

Yeah, the Neo-Cons just do all of that in Iraq.

Neo-cons are leftist. For example, the guy i'm running against is a neo-con republican.
Research Rodney Alexander. You will see his first term in congress was as a Dem.
He's not the only Dem to switch over either.
Interventionism. A Dem policy. Not a Rep policy.
When a party gets highjacked by the opposition, you can't say the right is the left.
You say the Left took over the right.

We must ask ourselves what the nature of the terms "right" and "left" is. I'm not entirely sure, but I've heard they come from French (uggh....). "Right" meant you were loyal to the government, and "left" meant you defied the governments power.

So I say the right took over the left before the left took over the right.

Anyways, aren't Libertatrians "Up" on the Nolan Chart? I thankyou Torchbearer for your efforts to have the "Up" take over the right...

I'm using the common U.S. definition not the french definition, which defines small government concervatives as rights, and big government collectivist as lefts.
Using those definitions. Neocons and Modern Day Democrats fit into Left.
Anyone who wants a smaller government (which includes non-intervnetionism because the opposite promotes big government) fits on the right.

And yes, I know about the up and the down. I'm an Up. but your attempt to twist the KNOWN definitions for the words I used just shows you have no intention of defending your previous statement, because you can't.

The GOP was taken over by collectivist.
The Dems, are the collectivist.
The Neocons are collectivist.
The Radical Religious are collectivist.
The Marxist/socialist are collectivist
The Nazis are collectivist

They are the "greater good" people, the seat belt laws people... the "if its worth doing its worth forcing someone to do it" people.

Are you starting to get the picture? are do you need illustrations too?

Okay, agreeded. But assuming that the Dems are collectivists because they aren't hard-core Libertarians is collectivist too. I'm not saying you are, but many on this forum scream "Socialist, SOCIALIST!!!!" at anyone with a D in front of their name regardless of what there positions are. The Democratic Party was founded by Jefferson, whereas the Republican Party was started by Lincoln? Now who among the two is closer to our views? The Republican Party post-Lincoln wasn't really Libertarian at all until Barry Goldwater, and that didn't last too long. Even GOP Presidents like Hoover and Grant were just Corpratists, which, as BJ Lawson pointed out, is just as dangerous to freedom as Communism. Who during America's gilded age opposed corpratism? Grover Cleveland, Democrat. And as for interventionism, wasn't the first imperalist president William McKinley who went to war with Spain to seize Cuba and the Philippines? At least Wilson's war with Germany was some-what justified. And wasn't the nation's first major progressive Theodore Roosevelt?

Who protected the Gold Standard? Grover Cleveland, Democrat. Who finally ended the Gold and Silver standard all together? Nixon, Republican. Who opposed the central banks? Jefferson and Jackson, Democrats? Admitingly Wilson created the Federal reserve, but it was the corpratists who wanted it in the first place. (Ever heard of Rockefeller Republicans?) Besides, no President since Wilson has done a thing to get rid of it, Democrat or Republican. But who had a surplus and cut military spending? Clinton, Dem. Who's brought us 5 trillion more dollars in debt by expanding the military empire? Bush, Republican.

You also mentioned the Religous Radicals. They've been a thorn in the side of the Dems for a long time. The most religous leader the Dems ever had was William Jennings Bryan, and he was admitingly a statist, but he opposed war, unlike the Republican religious loons who want to drink the blood of every Muslim, infidel, athiest, and Heretic on this planet.

Besides, my original statement was just that the Neo-Cons burned down houses, cars, killed children...IN IRAQ. None can deny this is true. Besides, Rush Limbaugh attributed those things to the LEFT, so I never said that the Neo-Cons were to the right. I've known for a long time that they are communists. I appreciate your efforts to oust them from power, but it must be understood that the Democratic party is more in favor of freedom than the GOP (with the exception of the tiny Ron Paul faction). I have said this, and I maintain this.

That may be so, but only a complete wind bag psycho would make a joke like that on national radio.
