Freepers: Tom DeLay "a political prisoner," sentencing "is asking for a civil war"
To: Hawk720

A political prisoner if there ever was one.

So, WE are supposed to tone down OUR rhetoric when “stench from the bench” political hacks hand down unjust decisions such as this? Delay did not steal ONE PENNY. I hold judges like this in contempt of the Constitution! Bob

If democrats can do this injustice to Delay then they can do it to any of us. Freedom must be protected.

The conservative justices appointed by the Republican Congress stuck down McCain-Feingold and all similar laws passed in the last 100 years.So Democrats are putting Delay in prison because of a made up lies based on laws that have been repealed.

Tom DeLay has nothing to worry about since the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals is comprised entirely of Republicans. With that being the case, the appeals court will overturn the verdict.

Sentenced right after a weekend’s worth of slander against “right wing extremists” and “provocateurs.”

Maybe DeLay should argue that the court was unfairly influenced by all the anti-conservative and anti-GOP rants.

Too much “vitriol” to get a fair sentence, ya know?

This is asking for a civil war.

their kind already lost once, and they don't have anyone with anywhere close the tactical genius the south had the first time. Can you imagine Palin or Beck trying to order "soldiers", I use that term loosely, around?

32. Free Republic people live in a dream world.
Edited on Mon Jan-10-11 06:24 PM by bluestate10
Where they gun down opponents in war while their spouses and children wonder merrily about town. They are damned fools. If they open that can, their children most likely won't have parents, that is if their children survive. One of their heroes suffered a legal setback. Delay still has plenty of legal appeals ahead of him, that is the USA system of justice. Free Republic people must calm down and let the process work to it's conclusion.

5. I can't imagine why anyone would stick their neck out for Hot Tub Tom.
It's absolute lunacy to do so, IMO. He isn't worth it, and neither is his corrupt political agenda.

9. They stick their necks out for him, for Palin...
...all of these people who don;t care if they live or die. But somehow, in their deluded little brain, they just KNOW that these hucksters are doing God's work JUST FOR THEM.

It just sickens me.

8. All right assholes. Let's get it on.
These chickenshits are always talking about war so as far as I'm concerned, they've got it. I am at war with them for survival. Survival of my country, which I love. So if these country hating idiots want war, I say let's do it.

10. Hey both sides do it!
:sarcasm:

That said, call for civil war... yep if this does not tone down SOON, we will be there.

By the way to all those heroes thinking it will be fun... burn into your brains what happened on Saturday... that is a foretaste.

Amazing that the irony's lost on them, on an image THEY posted on THEIR OWN site.

27. Tom's out on bail pending appeal... months or even years.
My guess is that fancy lawyerin' and political favors will let Tom evade prison until he can pull a Ken Lay. Wonder how the weather is in Costa Rica this time of year?

At least they admit they aren't interested in JUSTICE and that they WANT corruption.

He could have been sentenced to 10 years or more. :eyes:

29. So, they admit that a "conservative Appeals Court"
will judge a person on their party affiliation and not on whether they're guilty or not?

31. The funny thing.
Is that people that call for a civil war think they will shoot down opponents like they're shooting down clay pigeons. War is hell, a civil war is two hells, anyone that opens that pandora's box will regret doing so, for all of what remains of their short life.
