I'm not a "grammarian" by any means...but this absolutely defies any proper use of the english language, leading to mutual understanding, that I've ever seen.

I don't have to provide sources. It's the implication in the original post. As far as inflammatory language, it's common knowledge it has been in politics throughout history. So no need to tabulate it. Play dumb if you want.

For once, it's you saying this to someone else.

You apply turk-rules arbitrarily, based on convenience.

I don't make the rules. But even if I did, there's nothing in this topic, or my posts that needs further sources. It's plainly obvious. There was never a connection between Loughner and the right-wing. Politics have always been inflammatory, and always will be. Incendiary rhetoric is non-partisan. You want to stir it up and argue that?

A message to progressives: By all means, hang Sen. Joe Lieberman in effigy.

You just laid down about a half dozen new rules 6 hours ago, didn't you?
But even if I did, there's nothing in this topic, or my posts that needs further sources.


OK, so we're setting some real parameters here. Just be sure you hold others to the same standard and we'll be golden.
There was never a connection between Loughner and the right-wing.


No, there have actually been many connections made, though that's beside the point. I just listed a few of those connections here a few days ago.
Politics have always been inflammatory, and always will be. Incendiary rhetoric is non-partisan. You want to stir it up and argue that?
No, in fact, I argued the same point earlier this week, but you failed to follow what I was saying and then flamed me for arguing the same point you were making.

That's a mixed bag of charges. So, since I'm not required to answer any, I'll just say, post the "flame" incident if you want.

Oh brother. And I'm "required" to go find it for you just because you're too lazy to click your mouse on anything you're trying NOT to see? Get real, Eric. We all see through you.

And the notion that you wouldn't remember flaming me just 48 hours ago means that either you're a liar or you really do have zero regard for other people and the way you affect them.

I know the incident, and it's not a flame, and there's no reason to bring it up. If you wanna continue this charade you're welcome to it. :bootyshake:
