Exhibit B, ladies and gentlemen. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin

Oh, I remember this case! This is the one where Obama said that if he had a son, that son wouldn't look like the two victims, right? Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin

This. A thousand times, this. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin

I would have, if I had been trying to make that point. This is more of a "Oh look, another government program sold to us as a pipe dream. Hope-n-change, etc" thread. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin

Twice as much as advertised when it was rammed down our collective throat. Raise your hand if you didn't see this coming. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin

Yup. "They" are not very good stewards of our money, it would seem. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin

Heh, that's almost a compelling reason when you consider how the government will simply piss the money away. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin

Even winning $500,000 after taxes and such can't rid someone of the parasitic mentality. Clicky Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin

One of the comments on the story page said it best: "Unfortunately, if a country singer were to sing about race, he/she would be demonized for not understanding, not being sympathetic enough, etc." I agree. I have a feeling that broaching the topic of race, simply for its own sake, will open up a very large, very uncontrollable can of worms for the artist that chooses to do so. If said artist is white, which in the country genre is probable, they absolutely won't be able to prevail in a racial argument in our society.

...and you will feel like you've wasted ten minutes of your life after watching it. However, I predict that most conservatives and libertarians on these forums will find all the stereotypes (however unfair) they ascribe to liberals completely confirmed by these pathetic human beings. Consider yourself warned. Occupy Atlanta Silences Civil Rights Hero John Lewis! Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin

No more 'out there' than the Tea party's plans for the country, Perry, Bachman and many like them. radical is radical I'm sure you've got some examples of such radical ideas from the Tea Party. Mind sharing? Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin

Hah, now there's a misplaced dig. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin

Then they need to get their shit together and make some official demands so I can ridicule those as well. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin

And it's real, as far as I can tell. Clicky. I find demands 1,2,3,4, and 11 especially myopic, but I expect nothing less from these kiddies. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin

Was he read his Miranda rights? Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin

So I don't support Obama and I'm an "overt" racist. I support Cain and I'm a "covert" racist. Not that I expect any better arguments from Garofalo--but learn a new tune, already! Clicky Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin

A large portion of which would choose to fight on the side of the civilians, too. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin

This is probably a good example of why we need guns. Something about being able to rein in government when it becomes too oppressive and out of control. In the past the arms of the civilians could compete with the arms of the government ... this is no longer the case. Ask the Irish if you need tanks and jets to fight back against folks that have them. While taking on a tank with a rifle is foolish, that same rifle could be used to acquire a tank (or other military hardware). There are enough military reservists and former military reservists among the population who know how to work the equipment, also. Hypothetically speaking, of course.

No. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin

Maybe because every economist in the country knows that slashing government spending during a recession would only deepen the recession. I'd love to see the support behind this claim. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin

I thought it was pretty good as far as these sort of joint press conferences go. Everyone seemed to have good points to make on one issue or another. My vote is split between Romney and Perry, although Gingrich did very well also. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin

Are you claiming they didn't make those comments? Yes, that's exactly what I'm claiming. And that video I posted? Totally fabricated in a secret/racist government lab. There's no way I could have been referring to the substance of the comments themselves. No sir. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin

The ones with money and power, it is. Take a walk around any bank, or meetings among the executives of major corporations. Not within, but when they meet formally with executives from other corporations. Not a lot of sideways baseball caps there. Wendy P. Go to a bank or a meeting among executives of major corporations in any country and you'll find a lack of sideways baseball caps. It's certainly not just white people, nor just Americans. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin

And how would you suggest whitey do that? Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin

They're all the same to her, apparently. now this is gonna leave a mark I love it when the racists get their little girl panties all twisted up around their little needledicks zzzZZZzzz Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
