The federal government also did everything within and outside of it's powers to break the Black Panthers considering them the single greatest internal security threath in the US.

I personally wouldn't mind if the Tea Party was treated the same way. But the Tea Party are largely white, right-wing extremists not black Marxists like the Black Panthers were. So no suprise there.

Are you really comparing the Tea Party to the Black Panthers? Have you been getting excessive doses of Olbermann and Maddow?
 
It wasn't I who made the comparison it was Mobboss. And its not a valid comparison because the Black Panthers were justified in their actions unlike the tea party.
 
The BLACK panthers are but an isolated incidence compare to the republicans' attempts to mess with both the voters and the vote itself

This post right here highlights many problems I see in people around these forums.

1. There is no real comparison in Kara's post. Just because two things are mentioned in the post, doesn't mean that its a comparison. I, and your fellow forumgoers, would all appreciate if people could understand how to read a post and tell if they are actually comparing two things, or merely going off the first into the second.

2. The Olbermann and Maddow references are obviously venting frustrations about things that they say onto Kara. There's no purpose for this in a debate and it only divides us more. Politics isn't gang warfare. We're not all on two opposing sides.

Now, carry on. I think you had something productive to add?

They both had members who are so far off the deep-end... This with Tea partiers and some Black Panther incidents
 
Nice caveat, but not all women act like girls. If they insist on acting like men, then by all means treat them like men.

And thats not an endorsement of bootstomping someone, just on how to treat women that want to be treated like men. ;)

No. Not at all. Just because they want to be treated like men, doesn't mean a man should hit them. Ever. Even when being attacked by a woman (even one who "insists on acting like men!), a man should only act to restrain, and go at all no further.

Also, what on Earth is curbstomp worthy of supporting a different political candidate which is only slightly different to the other main candidate? There is nothing curbstomp worthy at all in this story. At all. The fact of the matter is, some fully grown man took full sickening advantage of a womans situation being made more defenseless after she'd been knocked to the ground, for nothing other than having tincy-tiny bit different political beliefs, by going out of his way to prove what a true hard, strong, brave, hero of a man he is by stomping on her head. Bravo, old chap! I wish more could be like him! He is an inspiration to us all!

I thought that too, but it turns out he was talking about female NASCAR drivers instead.
 
I gotta tell ya, I am pretty shocked to see that stuff in the non-racist north. Shocked. Because, you know, that only happens in the south according to northerners who have never stepped foot in the south and know nothing about it.
 
Indeed. America really isn't in this "post-racial" phase that certain people like to spout.
 
Just because that guy didn't agree with the Rand Paul supporters doesn't mean he should have his head stepped on. Shame on those hooligans, I hope they get picked up for assault.

guy?????????? Did you watch the video:confused:

Well as far as I know, lynch mobs weren't as popular in the North.
 
Thankfully they are rarer. I think the last lynching in Minnesota was in Duluth in the 30's.

Eh, "chivalry" is just misogynistic condescension tied up in a bow. Bugger it.

Seconded. It serves only to degrade womyn and enforce the antiquated and traditional notion of the "weak" womyn who need the protection of a man thus serving as a tool of the patriarchy to inflict their domination.
 
Well that's why I added "Real men shouldn't hit anyone"...

EDIT: Without a bloody good reason.

Spoofs don't work when they are exactly and entirely accurate. :p

Oh, well. Then I'm a misogynist. Bugger it.
I didn't say that you were misogynistic, merely that chivalry is a misogynistic institution. I think that most men subscribe to it because they really do want to try and express respect for women as people, but don't have the social tool-set to do so, because, let's face, our cultural history doesn't exactly lend it to that sort of thing. It takes something of a concerted effort to wrench yourself away from it, and, even then, our socialisation is often so limited in its perspective that you find yourself falling back on tradition, especially when there's a concern that a lack of its presence may be take as wilfully disrespectful by similarly socialised people.

Well that's why I added "Real men shouldn't hit anyone"...
Decent people of, any gender, shouldn't hit anyone, of any gender. Implicitly extending such a license to women risks trivialising female-on-male and female-on-female violence.

EDIT: Without a bloody good reason.
Well, that goes without saying. ;)
