You could always go "indie"-just make sure you the balls to actually VOTE for them on election day. That's what disillusioned me from third parties, so many flakes....

Somehow I don't think this guy was thinking long-term strategy. He would have at least thrown rotten eggs or something.Originally posted by Guitar Shark
I agree, to a point. Stunts like this just give more ammunition to conservatives who try to limit access. "Free speech zones" which are miles away from the action, pre-screened audiences sympathetic to the views of the presenters, etc., are all by-products of this sort of silliness. Or at least they can use these incidents as justification for them.
Stupid strategy.gnaw on itComment

It's funny that people like you and I that come from such different perspectives can arrive at the same conclusion.Originally posted by Cathedral
In my opinion, it's time for the Liberals and Conservatives to sit things out for awhile.
It's pretty sad that i sit here today not trusting any government we have or will have from here on out.
Anymore, politicians in general do not deserve nor have they earned any respect from me.
They damn sure aren't going to see my vote anymore, what's a guy to do in this situation?
I'm without a representative worth a damn.........gnaw on itComment

Knock it the fuck off with the sweeping generalisations. It was a 24 year old prankster. TWENTY-FOUR. You didn't do goofy shit when you were that age? I'm not condoning it, but it would be far different if it were a gorup of thirty-five year olds working in concert.
The kid probably went back to his dorm and high-fived his roommate and enjoyed a bonghit or two. I wouldn't put any relation to him and more serious minded, mature Democrats.
...though I must say I'm enjoying how badly you neocons are getting your panties in a bunch b/c a liberal tossed Pat Buchanan's salad...Comment

I never did that kind of stuff at 24.
If you are still a kid at 24, then we should raise the legal drinking age to 25.Comment

Well, he's gonna have a misdemeanor on his record, so I think he'll think twice before he pulls anymore pranks...
BTW - Buchanan was a complete gentleman to not press the felony charges. Very generous and extremely understanding.Comment

the only reason I stopped pulling shit like that was because gettin' fucked up was more fun...gnaw on itComment

Shit, Pat probably did worse things when he was 24! I seem to remember stories about him being quite the partier in college, which were used against him by team BCE in the Republican primaries in previous elections.Originally posted by academic punk

Sweeping generalizations? If this was an isolated incident perhaps. C,mon Punk you KNOW that ain't the case.
So he is a 24 year old fuckhead and there are tons more like him. You gotta pick a path, he is either a 24 year old ADULT who wants to be politically involved or he is a 24 year old CHILD who needs to change his huggies and grow up. I'm fine with either generalization.
However, they are learning and being encouraged by much older fuckheads who never learned either. The kind of Neo-Hippie, who revels in being "anti establishment", yet is amazingly so in their own personal lives. Those who missed the revolution and "sold out" who are now trying to get back involved. They are the parents of these 24 year old fuckheads.
Much generalizations but like a lot of stereotypes, they are at least half accurate.Comment

So, just what do "liberals" stand for Warham?Originally posted by Warham
Actually you can't take liberals seriously just because of what they stand for, let alone what brand of salad dressing they use.Comment

I definately think the wrong Conservative became "tossed salad" today. FORD pointed out some good reasons to respect PAT.Comment

well, there you have it. The kid isn't trying to enter a serious political arena at all, AT BEST he's making an homage to the Yippies and Abbie Hoffman.
Which, as i said, I doubt is the case. I assume he went back home and his buddies treated him to a couple of bonghits while they all watched another Friends re-run.
I doubt the guy at this stage of his life has any real political convictions at all.
(And, hey, maybe he's a Bush supporter who is upset with how Buchanan has taken Bush to task with his latest book and recent talk-show appearances.)Comment

And that's the point. You DON'T know that he is that at all...you assume he is. I assume the opposite that he is a crazed numbnut who thinks like Ford+has increasingly anti-social/destructive tendencies.
If this were happening to Dems/Libs, they would be "too afraid to speak on campuses, for fear of their safety from right wing whackos..".
I know if I was speaking and people did that to me, I could not guarentee that I would not react violently and I am amazed none of the kids have been seriously hurt. The speakers should not have to be concerned about whether or not they are going to be attacked in a venue not known for their viewpoints.
The kid deserves expulsion and a sucker punch from Pat (although I don't know how strong his haymakers are anymore...). I hope they do it to the Nuge someday, so he can exercise his 2nd amendment and self-defense rights....Comment
