If you can prove otherwise, I’m happy to hear it.

And it’s neither Dumbing it Down For the Left. BTW. It’s that judging a grown man about something he did 30 years ago is just a good way to do nothing but lower the level of political discourse and open up things that I’m sure lots of people have grown past.

And Franken’s “comedy” about killing gays is terrible.

Sean, do you think jokes about killing gays is:

a) ok if you are a Lib
b) generally funny and acceptable
c) moderately out of bounds
d) unacceptable

Your comments lead me to believe it is either a or b for you.

I’ve posted about this:

Here’s some photos from that rally.

There was one Death Penalty for Homosexuals sign – but plenty of other over the top signs.

“Reality based community” translation:

Everywhere = 1 sign

“Mark H” obviously crawled out of Eva Young’s Dumpster.

I just revisited his comments. He is a sick man.

Documentation?

I see…..and so because someone attending a rally held up that sign the proves she believes that? Hmmm…..and that never happens to Democrats – like say Congressman Keith Ellison????

Actually as a fairly conservative Christian, most likely Congressman Bachmann is against all killing except for those who have committed the worst crimes, and even then only after a fair trial and extensive appeals process.

Only on the Left could Bachmann’s support for marriage as the union between one man and one woman (a position that Wellstone voted for, and Clinton signed into law, remember) be placed side by side with jokes about killing gays.

And how is “hate crime” legislation relevant?

Wow…Franken is in more trouble than I thought. Not even you Shawn can find a way to defend him.

1) We all likely said stupid things when we were younger that we now regret.

2) Sean happens to say/write stupid things almost everytime he tries to articulate a point.

3) Franken made a joke about killing homosexuals.

Does everyone else see the difference?

Sean, even though you are pretty dim, I suspect you know the difference.

You don’t have to defend every statement by someone who has a ‘D’ after their name you know. You can be a good party guy and admit this is really, really out of bounds.

Just curious.

Thats all.

Because your blog isn’t sponsored or approved by any political party or candidate right?

Sean

I bet you never did anything or said anything stupid when you were 24.

I bet Norm Coleman never did or said anything stupid when he was 24.

Oh, shit! He did. Sorry. Except he was serious.

“these conservative kids don’t fuck or get high like we do (purity, you know)… Already the cries of motherhood, apple pie, and Jim Buckley reverberate thorough the halls of the Student Center. Everyone watch out, the 1950s bobby-sox generation is about to take over.”

Although it does look as though his dad has that first one taken care of.

Zing!

Sean | Not stupid enough to think that something like “Watch out, the 1980s nintendo playing generation is about to take over.” is profound. In fact, it’s just kind of dumb.

Dems get a pass on racism, homophobia, sexism and a variety of other isms. And anti-Semitism and hatred of Christians is a bonus in some Left-wing organizations.

This will have little or no bearing on whether or not Franken gets the DFL nomination (setting aside the eventuality that this exposure sets off that Franken temper of his and he physically hurts someone, and even then they might not care).

Imagine the left reaction if these words came from a republican.

There would be blood in the streets if a conservative said such awful things about wanting a gay man dead.
