And this is exactly what I meant when I was talking about dealing the left a hand full of trump cards. This is exactly why comments like that are not harmless because even if they are few and far between and even if people here challenge them, that they are here at all makes it easy to portray the whole site and conservatives in general as racists. Go ahead and complain it’s not fair and tell me how you aren’t going to let the left control what you say, and they’ll be laughing all the way to the White House in 2012 because they’ll happily control our image and message if we can’t.

Hussein brought up the subject of abortion and his daughters..saying “I wouldn’t want my daughters punished by and unwanted pregnancy”.
The left is now warming up to discredit a firefighter in New Jersey, who dares to testify about his Supreme Court case..let’s see if he or his kids are off limits.

I'm not going to complain about it not being fair - because I don't care. Political correctness only works when enough people will knuckle under. People will say what they will about us no matter what we say or how we act. Going on a Macacca apology tour only validates their slurs.

You said — Go ahead and complain it’s not fair and tell me how you aren’t going to let the left control what you say, and they’ll be laughing all the way to the White House in 2012 because they’ll happily control our image and message if we can’t.

Agreed. I think there are plenty of legitimate political issues to argue about and fight about, without getting into a mud-slinging contest about Obama. I know that people seem to get real emotional about Obama, but what they need to do is get real analytical about him, instead and work from a political basis and not an emotional and venting basis.

Just being emotional and venting really doesn’t help anyone. I doubt it even helps the person doing the venting... LOL...

So, just get analytical and fight on policies and legislation and fundamental governmental viewpoints. That’s where the real action is at.

buccaneer81, you are exactly correct.

We have to be Smarter, ten times more ethical, ten times more decent, etc than the left.

What occurred in this situation was vulgar and it stooped to the Lefts disgusting level.

The children should be left alone. PERIOD

We conservatives should hold ourselves to a higher standard. We are certainly better than what these posts suggest, and if we are not then we deserve to watch more Democrats win elections, not on merits but on the media spin that stories like this, created by our own hands and minds, actualize.

Please realize that this one set of comments has given the Left complete control. They now can say or do ANYTHING to conservative candidate's children. All they have to do is refer back to this.

It does not matter what they have done in the past to Bush's children, it does not matter that we held the higher ground concerning Chelsea Clinton.

This has just set the conservative cause back. These opinions should not be censored, but they should have been vigorously attacked as inappropriate.
