:wtf: ?!?!?!?


Senate Candidate Ken Buck Clarifies: All Liberals — Not Just Barack Obama — Are America’s ‘Greatest Threat’


“The greatest threat to the United States today, the greatest threat to our liberty, the greatest threat to the Constitution, the greatest threat to our way of life, everything we believe in, the greatest threat to the country put together by the Founding Fathers, is the guy who is in the White House today,” Tancredo said in a report by the Denver Post.

Buck said he did not agree with Tancredo, though he’s glad to have his support.

“I was surprised when Tom said that, and I think Tom tends to exaggerate sometimes,” Buck said. “I respect, frankly, President Obama. I disagree with him on a lot of his policies.”

*snip*

But on Saturday at the first annual Western Conservative Summit — focused on renewing “America’s moral core” — Buck changed his statement and said that Tancredo’s comments had “a lot of truth“:

Taking the stage briefly after Tancredo, U.S. Senate hopeful Ken Buck said, “The other day my good friend and supporter, Tom Tancredo, said that the greatest threat to this country is the man who occupies the White House, Barack Obama. There is a lot of truth in what Tom Tancredo says.” <...>

“The greatest threat folks is not a single man, but rather the progressive liberal movement that is going on in this country. It is the $13 trillion of national debt; it is a huge threat to our security and financial system; Obamacare, cap and trade, card check, our disintegrating relationship with Israel. It is a huge threat to this county.”

I'm sick of being called, a threat to America. I'm sick of being compared to terrorists. I'm sick of being told I hate the troops. Frankly, I'm sick of these people gladly accepting all that I do as an American citizen to help support my country, only to be kicked in the face at any opportunity! If I could go on strike, and have them feel the pain of what it would be like without all us commie, nazi, socialist, threats I would. :grr:

6. Hell, I don't even consider Obama a real Democrat, much less a
Edited on Mon Jul-12-10 01:24 PM by old mark
"progressive liberal", whatever the fuck that is.

I just saw Obama's picture in a display with Karl Marx, Che, Stalin, and Mao...these RW people are so delusional it would be laughable if they were not so widely believed and supported...

Yes, where is the Democratic Party comeback to all this shit?

Do the Democrats in power also consider the term "liberal" as an insult?
It sometimes seems like it...

8. Whoopee! We're number one! We're number one!
How does if feel to have it made? To be the greatest threat?

But, but ... somehow it seems some of those other threats are bigger ... financial meltdown, global warming, Gulf Gusher, rightwing fascists, dominionist Taliban-lookalikes, ...

I mean, can we really trust it? Can we rest on our laurels and assume that we're the greatest threat?

Oh, now I've brought myself down again.

9. I am his enemy
And so are other Liberals. All freedom loving Americans are too. Because he is part of the Fascist Party, oops I mean Republicans. His mistake is in thinking that he speaks for America.

11. When you live in a Simulation taken for real ...
you can simulate aggressively! What are the criteria these days for imagined reality?

Is television real or just an interface for reality-manufacturing industries that function only to massage, shape and even create what is going on in that alienated space we call the mind?

It is all a show and the joksters want the punchline to be about someone else ... you maybe? Taking it too seriously is to miss the point: it works extremely well.

12. They fear that we want to create a welfare state, because they can't imagine people who would work
if it weren't for fear. The reason they can't imagine this kind of person is that this IS what they are: fearful, self-loathers engaged in work that they actually hate, so they assume that everyone is like them and that if you take away the fear no one would work. When, in fact, people love to work and they would do more and better work if they didn't have to live in constant fear of being destroyed by socialism for corporations.

13. If we dont take this lesson to heart, we will LIVE in free speech cages.
Obama disappointed me, so I will pout, and allow the sociopaths, to rip the rest of the guts from our public and social goods. I will allow them to paint me as a heretic, fit only for burning. And I will blame it all on Obama, who said things right before the collapse, that I will now hang around his neck. Who cares if reality will cooperate, he promised. And two years might as well be a decade. All or nothing, and dont BLAME ME.

14. The number one threat to this country
is the elected aristocracy that populated almost exclusively by two corrupt political clubs. These people, all of them, truly do believe they are the best and know what is best for all. As long as the two parties are blindly supported by so many people, and continue to regurgitate the unfounded ignorant propaganda created by these parties, our situation is akin to running toward a brick wall, head down, eyes closed, at full speed.

But what do I know, my form of independent thought is ridiculed and attacked solely on which parties enjoys the criticism.

15. Ken Buck is my DA.
He's been spewing the anti-liberal stuff for years. Small wonder. He is, after all, a protege of Dick Cheney. He was a campaign chairman for Marilyn DOMA Musgrave. At a cost of $250K+ he unsuccessfully prosecuted a voter who delivered a dried dog turd to Musgrave's office. He was in on the raids at our meat-packing plant that violated the warrants under which the raids were ostensibly carried out. He helped to oust a Republican mayor who went to Washington to plead for humane treatment of all immigrants, and replaced that mayor with a gun-toting thug who likes to beat up on kids. Buck also got challenged by the ACLU when he went fishing through the private tax returns filed through a bilingual tax service; he designed and sold pro-Buck Tshirts out of his office to help fund his defense, and the state supreme court pinned his ears back for that action. Of course, his cronies are now trying to oust those 'activist' judges. Less than ten years ago Buck left his job as US Attorney after being rebuked for ethics violations; he still considers himself to be unbound by the same rules that apply to the rest of us. And his wife is thoroughly enamored of Karl Rove.

We got rid of Musgrave and Tancredo. We have a spectacular candidate going up against Scott Renfroe, he who equates gays with murderers and wants to call up the National Guard to deal with those who hold medical marijuana cards. And we have either Michael Bennet or Andrew Romanoff going against (likely candidate) Buck in November, and either one of our guys has more class and ability in his little finger than Buck has in his entire being. But Buck is being supported by a national slime machine, and we know that it's going to get very messy around here.

Years ago they moved the cattle feedlots that used to lend the area a very distinctive aroma. Buck and his friends are bringing back that smell.
