August 31, 2004 -- Secret Service agents last night hauled away a man who got too close to Vice President Dick Cheney in a VIP area at Madison Square Garden. Police sources said the 21-year-old man, who had a pass allowing him into the Garden, had either a knife or some kind of tool on him when he was nabbed as he tried to flee.

That's what happens when he leaves his 'secret undisclosed location'. Something like Phil on groundhog day.
Excuse me .. I don't recall any Republican running around threatening to assassinate the President .. and even those democrats who aren't saying that are giving those statements a pass .. which says to me they AGREE with the statement.
It's not nutty to see your opponents for what they really are .. HATE MONGERS ..!!
Besides .. as usual .. you're comparing apples and oranges and your analogy doesn't work.
You are so correct. Most of these kids are college students who had no discipline or moral values invested into them as children. They're rude and disrespectful, and no regard for the rule of law.
I see you have the secret media code figured out ;-)
No, you are wrong.
See, I can make blanket statements without backing them up too.
Do you care to explain why you think my analogy is poor or does that require too many neurons for a self-described "ditto-head"?
Hmmmm? Angry are we because we're being challenged ..??
I think you forgot this little detail:
"John Wilkes Booth was born on a farm near Bel Air, Maryland, about 25 miles from Baltimore".
The shooter was A YANKEE!! Not a Southerner. That's why your analogy doesn't work!! Booth might have been living in the south at the time, but he did not consider himself to be FROM the south.
Hope that wasn't tooooooo many neurons for you to handle.
You see a challenge requires a legitimate argument, which you have to provide.
What you have established is that my approximate facts were incorrect, but have failed to explain why this invalidates the analogy.
In fact, I am not certain that gentlement with a knife was not a registered Republican. Otherwise how did he get a pass into the convention? I admit this is speculation.
If you care to respond with an intelligent analysis of why you 1. beleive my analogy to be incorrect and 2. why you think it is appropriate to condemn an entire group for the acts of an individual, I will continue the conversation with you.
If you chose to once again respond like a thoughtless, hothead nut, I will put you on my list of the same name.
Didn't you notice the Secret Service guy with the communications plug in his ear standing next to the Big Oval One (Michael Moore) when McCain made his comment.
At the time I was wondering if the Secret Service was watching Moore to make sure he didn't do any of his usual stupid tricks. Wouldn't put it past the Big Oval One to do some harm to the President or Vice President.
Well .. I can see this conversation has challenged you beyond your capacity to discuss.
As a typical liberal .. you deal with "approximate facts". Facts are facts - there is no "approximate" about it.
Then .. as a typical liberal .. you try to change the subject .. saying it could have been a repub who tried to attack Cheney with the knife. I don't recall this being a part of the conversation regarding Booth and Southerners.
Of course, what you demand of me .. PROOF .. is not provided by you for such an ignorant statement about what party the knife-wielder belongs to.
Then .. as a liberal .. you again challenge what I have already told you .. as if I never said anything. You claimed John Wilkes Booth represented ALL SOUTHERNERS. I have proven Booth was born in the NORTH and would have never claimed to be a southerner. Now .. I've said that twice.
Then .. as a liberal .. when defeated on all points they are trying to fight over .. you resorted to name calling.
Sorry .. but I no longer wish to continue a conversation with you. I have not called you names .. you have called me names .. OUR CONVERSATION IS OVER!!
On to the list you go.
PS
Sorry if I hurt your feelings. Although Arnold may think othewise, I won't call you a girlieman or suggest that you not get your panties in a bunch.
I read the guy was released on BAIL! WTF????
Must be a member of the VVAW's executive committee, just continuing the organization's MO from 1971...

Dad's a lawyer. Mom's a professional photgrapher.
Son is a grade-A-number-one-government-inspected fruitcake.
Dear God, please don't ever let my daughters bring home a guy like this.
Ok, I had a wee nap and wake up to see my favorite photo as #1 in my ping file.
I don't watch TV or listen to that kind of music, but I do live with a bunch of feral cats, and have 2 of the kitties
in the house, that almost didn't make it.
I don't know who made the photo of the kitty, but thank you for doing so. Everytime I see it, I smile.
As I am sure that my babies are smart enough to learn how to use at least a Gatling gun.
I know they have the sounds down pat. bored guests always
jump when the attack starts of the wild cats on the tin roof of this mobil, 3 or 4 healthy toms now that kind of fight will even get to me.
So thanks for my favorite kitty photo.

Sniper Kitten is one of my favorites too.
