HERE WE GO AGAIN--It should be illegal to be a repuke

[leftofthedial]

The repuke party is nothing more and nothing less than an organized crime syndicate.

If illegal wiretapping, lying us into war, gutting the Constitution, torture, no-bid war profiteer contracts, the K Street-Abramoff crimes, outing CIA agents, killing Japanese civilians so campaign donors can have a submarine joyride, Enron, etc., etc. weren't enough,

Lurita Doan's "testimony" is all the proof we need.

Round them up. Let the tribunals begin ......... eventually.

[Nederland]

1. What is with people on the far left

...and "rounding up" the people that disagree with them?

[mudesi]

2. What does disagreement have to do with it?

I believe the OP was talking about criminals.

[Nederland]

3. The OP said:

"It should be illegal to be a repuke"

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

4. That is...

An important distinction. If they can throw some kid in jail for a few years for a couple of joints, then they certainly can spank the peepees of these violators of the public trust.

[Psephos]

5. Thank you n/t

[T Wolf]

For someone who has obviously been here for quite a while, you should

know better than to use a phrase like "people on the far left" - its use betrays your real position. You have to get better at regurgitating the Faux catch-phrases.

[Nederland]

10. You should know better?

What does that mean? What are you going do, "round me up"? :rofl:

[leftofthedial]

12. can't you read?

The GOP is clearly a criminal enterprise. Crime. Remember the concept of "crime"? Acts that are forbidden by law? When groups of people conspire to commit crimes, they are considered to be a criminal organization. It is ILLEGAL to belong to a criminal organization. The repukes clearly are an organized crime syndicate hiding under the cover of a "political" party.

[Nederland]

24. Question

So my sister and her family are a bunch of evangelical Christians (her husband is actually a Baptist minister) and naturally, die hard Republicans. Politically we disagree about basically everything, and Thanksgivings are filled with wonderful arguments. Now, since they are apparently members of a "criminal enterprise", I have to ask, is it your plan to round up my sister and her family?

Just asking...

[leftofthedial]

29. no, but the RNC and GOP should be shut down

and membership therein should be illegal. The GOP is far worse than the Crips or the Mafia. their leaders should be held accountable for the crimes against humanity that they have perpetrated--EXACTLY as civilized people have done with previous such criminals.

Once the rule of law is reinstated and applied once again to phony "political" organizations, membership in the GOP will be illegal. Then, if your family members persist in participation in a criminal conspiracy, they should be prosecuted.

[Nederland]

32. Ok, so membership in the Republican party should be illegal

I got that.

So, since it's illegal, what is the penalty that my sister can expect if she refuses to adhere to your beliefs?

[leftofthedial]

41. That is for the legislative branch to decide

[MadBadger]

33. Just wondering, is circumventing the hatch act a crime against humanity?

[leftofthedial]

42. no

but over the last 25 years, the repuke party has perpetrated both

[T Wolf]

43. If the oven fits....

[EstimatedProphet]

14. Yeah! People like Hitler!

And Mussolini!

Wait, weren't they on the far right?

[Nederland]

28. Funny how it works isn't it?

Anytime you run far enough to either side of the political spectrum you run into the bat shit crazies coming around from the other side...

[leftofthedial]

31. This is not a political thread

it is about criminal acts.

Again, either you can't read, or you are a disruptor.

[Nederland]

36. I see

A thread that suggests we should round up all the people in a particular political party is not a "political" thread.

Then you claim that because I disagree with you, I must either be stupid or a disruptor.

I can't decide if you are deliberately trying to be funny or not. I'm afraid to ask...

[Marie26]

38. I'm guessing... no

See, it's not political because they're all criminals. Therefore, if you disagree, you must be either stupid or a criminal yourself. To the camps!

[leftofthedial]

45. so if the Crips decide tomorrow that they are a "political" party

and start running candidates for office

and once those candidates are elected, they use their offices to commit thefts and other crimes, it is inappropriate to treat the Crips as a criminal enterprise because they are a "political" party?

got it.

thanks for the clarification.

[NeedleCast]

34. The people on both "ends"

still haven't realized that the political spectrum isn't a line, it's a circle.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

23. Don't Know. Extremists Are Extremists, And Often Times Their Logic Is Warped.

[sanskritwarrior]

30. Tell me about it

Can we round up all the chavez supporters??? Oh wait that is a crime.............. :eyes:

[Rabrrrrrr]

47. Arrrrrgh... I wish I could round up everyone who's asked that question.

:grr:

















:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[Marie26]

6. What a fascist statement. nt

[T Wolf]

7. So, you are defending the actions of the *istas? So sad..... nt

[NeedleCast]

8. No

I think the poster was saying that "rounding up" people because of their polical affiliation is a pretty fucking bad idea.

And it is.

[T Wolf]

11. Again, for the selective readers - not political affiliation but their actions.

Which of these do you think should be allowed to go unpunished?

"illegal wiretapping, lying us into war, gutting the Constitution, torture, no-bid war profiteer contracts, the K Street-Abramoff crimes, outing CIA agents, killing Japanese civilians so campaign donors can have a submarine joyride, Enron, etc., etc."

[NeedleCast]

20. Well then we better just grab up everyone

By your reasoning, supporting a politician who has committed illegal acts should be a crime. Since, throughtout our short history here in America, several democratic politicans have been busted for various things as well, we are guilty by association?

[leftofthedial]

39. being a member of a criminal enterprise should be a crime, should it not?

I'm not talking about casting a legal vote for a (then) legal candidate, although there is a debt of conscience owed by anyone who supports evil policies.

The GOP has shown itself to be engaged in a pattern of felonies:

bribery

election fraud

theft

violations of the Hatch Act

and worse.

I believe there is sufficient evidence to pursue the RNC and GOP under the RICO statutes. Such prosecution would likely find not only that many individuals within those gangs are in violation of numerous laws, but that the the RNC and GOP are indeed criminal enterprises. Then, anyone supporting them would be in violation of the law. The idiots who still consider themselves "republicans" would have to form new political parties or become Democrats or Greens or Nazis or whatever.

[leftofthedial]

26. membership in a criminal enterprise

is not "political affiliation"

either discuss the actual topic or read and maybe you'll learn something.

[Marie26]

35. Oooh, traitorous liberal!

How dare anyone question the actions of the OP! Anyone who questions the OP must be an enemy supporter! To the camps with you! Only "true believers" have a place in the glorious Republic! :rofl: The funniest part is that people don't see the irony.

[leftofthedial]

15. yeah, you're right.

Let's not enforce laws.

Theft? no biggie.
Treason? no biggie.
Repeated, continuing obstruction of justice? no biggie.
War crimes and crimes against humanity? no biggie.
Raping the Constitution? no biggie

fighting fascism is fascist, and let's not forget it.

[MadBadger]

19. You put the lawbreakers behind bars, but not all republicans break the law

And I have to tell you this?

[Marie26]

27. Fighting fascism is fascist,

Right. Fighting fascism with fascist tactics is just the same stupid thing. That post sounded like it came from a fascist - "round them all up" "a trial... eventually." If you replaced "Republican" w/"Democrat" in that quote, everyone would be outraged at the obvious fascism & authoritarian sentiments. It's a nice reminder that left-wingers can express & believe the same shit that they're fighting against.

[MadBadger]

9. HERE WE GO AGAIN--another idiotic post.

[leftofthedial]

16. HERE WE GO AGAIN--another pithy reply.

[MadBadger]

21. I feel like I'm talking to a four year old, having to explain that:

you put the lawbreakers behind bars, but most republicans arent corrupt law breakers.

[leftofthedial]

40. gee, uncle hnmnf, you're so smart and stuff . . .

what part of "criminal enterprise" don't you understand?

I think there is abundant--overwhelming even--evidence that the RNC and GOP have engaged in a systematic conspiracy to commit and cover up crimes. The only difference between the republican party and the Crips is that the repukes have killed far more people and caused much greater harm to communities.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

13. I agree with imprisoning them for their crimes

[leftofthedial]

22. The White House used RNC computers to circumvent the Hatch act.

This was a conspiracy to commit a pattern of felonies. The party itself, not just the individuals, is a criminal enterprise and should be shut down.

The party also has recruited thieves like Doan and placed them into positions in which they can most effectively steal from the public treasury. Again, conspiracy to commit crimes.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

37. The GOP is truly infested

they do have many innocent GOP members who are not aware of this

[Quantess]

17. Sorry, but, posts like these should be illegal.

Just kidding. I meant, against DU posting rules.

[TahitiNut]

18. Wrong. It should be sufficient to prosecute for the criminality we see without criminalizing party.

But "impeachment is off the table" ... so we effectively have AMNESTY for criminality and corruption at the highest levels of our government.

When BOTH 'sides' of the federal government apologize and permit corruption in governance apparently due to belonging to an elite "political class" ... we're truly and deeply fucked.

As an independent liberal, I personally regard partisanship as an inherently corrupting influence. Much of what I see bears out that opinion.

[leftofthedial]

25. not if the "party" is demonstrably a criminal enterprise

For example, the RNC conspired with criminals in the White House to use RNC computers to circumvent the Hatch Act. This is a felony (in fact, a long series of hundreds of felonies). The "party" is engaged in an ongoing pattern of criminal activity and should be shut down.

[NeedleCast]

44. When we start digging

I'm sure you're exactly right, we'd find a LOT of illegal activity. I just wonder if we wouldn't find the same thing in the Democratic party. As bad? Probably not. Bad? Probably. We've got one senator indited by a grand jury already and while I'm an innoncent until proven guilty kind of guy, the evidence against Jefferson is looking pretty solid. If you're going to start treating political parties as people and find them guilty of crimes, you'd best check to make sure the party your standing with (be it Demcorats, Greens, Libertarians, whoever) isn't guilty of the same or you might find yourself sharing a cell with a repbulican.

[leftofthedial]

46. it's not just the number of members who commit crimes

the GOP--as an organization--has been actively involved in violations of the Hatch Act and other crimes.
