Don't you understand Chuck?

We're all being held hostage by Jon - he's the Al-Qaida of rec.boats.
It's all about him and his outrage. He's gone right off the deep end.

Did you know that Jon told me one time that all Republicans should be
shot? True - I still have the email.

I tend to keep emails that amuse me. Sadly, this one might turn into
evidence at some point.

And to think - he lives out by you!!!

Watch your back dude - watch your back.


Only some Republicans should be shot. Taking our conversations out of
context is rude, but I'm coming to accept that being within your ethics.

Chuck is perfectly safe. Although he doesn't approve of my rabble
rousing, he's not a blind fool and I agree with most of what he says.

It's the mock "conservatives" who're nothing more than partisan fools
who I have the beef with. So many of these fools tried to call us
pinkos, commies, socialists, etc. for our views on the war and pointing
out the lies we were being told.

Now, after all is nearly said and done, it turns out we silly libs were
right. I want my piece of flesh for being accused of treason, being a
traitor to my country for dissent -- by many of the self righteous
assholes who still frequent this group.

So much resource squandered, our moral authority in the world a
shambles, our kids, young parents dead, maimed, psychologically damaged,
with many tens of thousands of Iraqis dead or maimed. Families
destroyed in the name of lies and hubris.

The assholes claiming we were misguided fools know who they are. I just
want a little time to rub their faces in the **** they were spewing back
when they beat their small-minded drums at a fever pitch.

I think you place WAY too much importance on this group.

I place little if any importance on this group. What's important is
that these dweebs are confronted with an alternative to their little,
boxed reality.

I want to spew as much **** in their faces as I took. I'm not a turn-
the-cheek sort of guy.

If they don't want to listen, respond, acknowledge their short-sighted
stupidity, so be it.

You say you don't place any importance in this group, but then you list
all of the ways this group has spewed **** in your face. You know you
are not going to change anyone's mind, they don't care if you are
calling them names or spewing ****, so why waste your breath.

All of the talk radio/TV talk show hosts are entertainers playing up to
their audience, those who love them or those who hate them. They are
not news shows, and no on in their right mind would take anything they
say as gospel. If legitimate news shows make mistakes, it is very
reasonable that entertainment talk shows will make a ton of mistakes.

It would appear that they have impacted on your life more than those who
agree with them. The "righties" who you hate, have dangled the bait and
you have bite it hook line and sinker. Now they are playing you. Why
not spit out the bait and let it rest.

That's not bait they're dangling, it's their heartfelt beliefs.

I'm taking the time to highlight the lies and ****ups of an
administration these tools defended to the point of suggesting any who
disagreed with them were traitors, guilty of crimes against America.

You suggest this isn't something I need and I'm suggesting it is. I
need to rail against these dimwits for a minute, spew some **** in their
faces and then I'll be back to my normal rounds.

The Scooter Libby thing just really sent me. I think it's going to cost
the Republicans several more seats in the house, obviously the white
house. My only concern is, will the wimpy Democrats actually have a
plan for the country when the opportunity is there to lead.

political stuff which is answered appropriately:

You really ought to tell us about the Whaler! Because, the number of people
who really care about the other crap is really small, like two.

It's all about the outrage baby - outrage.

Subtle. Nuanced. Morally Equivalent.

How much **** did you take? Did any get on the Whaler? Damn, I hope it
didn't ruin the gelcoat.

Maybe this will help:

In other words, "I think somebody behaved badly toward me and treated
me unfairly and unkindly. The best possible response is to adopt that
standard of behavior as my own" Mighty sad.

Your adversaries will never enjoy a greater victory than causing you
to alter your life to become one of them. Disagreement over politics?
Doesn't matter, it's a minor detail compared to how you choose to
present yourself.

On the most important scale of all, there's not a darn bit of
difference between the most extreme left wing name caller and the most
extreme right wing name caller ever to darken the electronic portals
of the internet.......their politics may be different, but their
personalities are nearly one and the same.

Give yourself a break, jps. You deserve better for yourself than to
descend to the same depths as the worst of your aversaries. If they
drag you down to their level, they win. Examine the life of Ghandi-
you don't "turn the other cheek" for your adversary's benefit, you do
so to take command of the situation and define the terms for future
discourse.
Or think of judo- allow your opponent's own weighty momentum to put
him in a position of unbalance and vulnerability when it doesn't
encounter the resistance it depends upon for maximum effect.
