    I'm a liberal, I do not support late term (or any term) abortion, and I have not turned Martin or Brown into a martyr. Want to try constructing another strawman?

      I like how you manage to turn "Even the ones who don't" into "Every single one of them does" then complain about straw men without skipping a beat.
      "As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12

      There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

        It wasn't about cooperation, Darthie... it was about HATE. I think you shot your mouth off, and now you're trying to reel it back in.

        Sure it is. If I walk in on a bar mitzvah in a SS uniform,
        Somehow, it would not surprise me if you did that just for the shock value, but continue....

        nobody's gonna believe me when I say I'm just wearing it because I'm a fan of Nazi haute couture.
        Well, that's just a birdbrain stupid example, so, yeah!


        I was baptized in fire son,


        you're KILLIN, me, son, I sa... I say, you're KILLIN me!

        though merely being baptized in boring old water doesn't quite explain you. Maybe your pastor left you in a little too long while paying the pizza boy or something? That would explain... quite a bit.
        So, did you ever answer the question about experiencing real JOY, Darthie? I mean... even ONCE, have you ever experienced honest to goodness true JOY?

            How can you claim that I think that every liberal believes X if I explicitly say that some don't believe X?

              Right, but then you lumped all such exceptions in with those providing cover for the abortionists, even if it was not clear how all these people were doing so, esp. if not politically active.

                  I don't think DE really believes most of what he says... he's just out for shock value. But he DID make me laugh with that "son" thing!

                      I think you're projecting here. You routinely shoot your mouth off then try to back away with lame jokes so you think I'm doing the same but as far as I can tell you're just confused. You said not all liberals are ok with turning thugs into martyrs or partial birth abortion, presumably to argue that it's not ok to hate them all. I then pointed out that the ones who don't are still part of the movement and lend it support and legitimacy even if they don't explicitly support these things. Nevermind that hating a group of people is not the same as hating every individual that belongs to that group.

                      Well, that's just a birdbrain stupid example, so, yeah!
                      It's not. Claiming "I'm a liberal" but insisting you're not like those BAD liberals who drill holes in baby skulls is the same as wearing an SS uniform while insisting you're not like those bad Nazis who hold inappropriate baking competitions. Worse, really, since the hypothetical Nazi fashion fan doesn't even claim to be a Nazi.

                      So, did you ever answer the question about experiencing real JOY, Darthie? I mean... even ONCE, have you ever experienced honest to goodness true JOY?
                      I don't see why I should be distracted by the ink you expelled in your hasty retreat.

                        You can love and hate at the same time. In fact they frequently go together. There's a reason why traitors are universally loathed, for example.

                          I think "how" is quite clear: they normalize that behavior. Sure, they frown about it but they don't frown enough to not willingly associate themselves with an ideology that supports those things, giving the impression that those things are just minor flaws.

                            Right after David says that, he continues....

                            Search me, God, and know my heart;
                            test me and know my anxious thoughts.
                            See if there is any offensive way in me,
                            and lead me in the way everlasting.

                            In NO WAY was David's crying out to God an instruction from God for us to hate.

                            I'm seriously amazed at how Christians will rip verses out of context to justify their hate. It's sad.

                                Except that context doesn't invalidate the first 4 verses (except maybe in your head). You're just reading your own feelings into it.

                                The concept of loving one's enemies predates Jesus within judaism anyway, so the "progressive revelation" claim is bunk.
