We Surround Them --- no bashing!!!

[Planogirl]

Regardless, its an opinion. I can understand not agreeing with it, but to be personally insulted just makes no sense to me...We live in a country where we can all have different opinions and views, why be insulted? To me, feeling insulted is a choice we make.

Actually, I'm not even speaking for myself. I'm not insulted with the list but I do suspect that some will be.

quick questions. Who are the "us" and "them"

 

[diznygirl]

This whole thing reminds me of my kindergartener wanting to play a game and getting upset when no one wants to play it her way.

I tell her, "Sorry honey, it's somebody else's turn now."

And then she runs into her room and slams the door.


Kids.

Apparently, there are a lot of DISsers who are unable to read. The title clearly says "NO BASHING." This is not a debate thread.

If you don't like what you are reading here save your blood pressure and move on.

Oh, I'm sorry. I must have mistaken this for a public message board.

Free speech and all that. I've never seen a complimentary Obama thread derailed by haterz, have you?

 

[Zippa D Doodah]

Ah yes. The "they can't think for themselves" argument. Of course there's a difference between liberals all marching in lock-step because they all just happen to be free thinkers who just happen to think about things in the same manner.

Whenever that gets trotted out you know the other side has lost the debate and you have won.

This is the land of the free, home of the brave, and outpost of the perpetually insulted.

An honorable response, if I may say so.

Just because you can do something does not mean you must. I'm not saying you have no right to your opinion, I'm just pointing out this is an inappropriate place for it. There are plenty of debate threads out there on the Community Board. Your opinion is very welcome and appropriate in any one of them. It is not here. This is a place for people who wish to join Glenn's cause, not for people who wish to ridicule it.

 

[whjoyjr]

By setting up the strawman this way, you are trying to assert that everyone agrees with you, when that is not the truth.

Ok I get the "no bashing" but isnt the 1st post just that?

I'm afraid I have to respectfully disagree. As with anywhere else on this board, it is a place where someone put something out there and invited responses to it. They could have locked it so as not to allow comments, but they opted not to. That would have put their message out there just as effectively and discouraged any form of "discussion." Short of that, any posting would seem, in my humble opinion, to be cause for discussion.

To paraphrase your own quote, just because you don't want someone to do something doesn't mean they can't or shouldn't.

The title clearly says "NO BASHING." That means please do not post here if you disagree. There is no "rule" saying you have to follow it but it would be the nice and respectful thing to do. I guess that's asking way too much.

Why am I not a bit surprised? What is it about Glenn Beck that makes liberals foam at the mouth anyway? He's just a talk show host. It seems like anytime his name is brought up very strong feelings are evoked. I don't get it.

I can't stand Olberman but instead of trolling message boards and bashing him, I avoid the subject of him. I don't like him so I don't watch him, don't read about him, and don't talk about him. My blood pressure thanks me for it. You should give it a try. Just avoid things that upset you. It's very peaceful.

Where has MushyMushy bashed anyone on this thread?

Why can't the list be discussed in this thread? Why should another thread be started to discuss it?

Wouldn't it have made more sense to include this in the Conservative thread then?

8. It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion.
