Yet another t-shirt I want...

Speaking of "cornered dogs", I use to ride bicycle with dogs that would chase me from time to time. They are best dealt with by using a solution of either ammonia water, Cayenne pepper water, or mace. I trust the authorities will treat them appropriately.

[SirLurkedalot]

Stalin and Maos opponents were'nt locked and loaded.

[Slings and Arrows]

I like that idea...

[atomic conspiracy]

Note how this leading enemy propaganda outlet conflates the lefty thugs with New York itself: "NEW YORK ready to unleash fury on Republicans." This assumes that the opposition is general among New Yorkers, that "Republicans" and "New York" are exclusive categories, and that there is a warrant for some kind of rage; all in one compact sentence.
This is a bit crude for American audiences but it is dead on for Guardian's Euro-bourgeois readership. Nobody has ever accused the evil denizens of Al Guardian of shortcomings in rhetorical technique.

We need another H.U.A.C. Yesterday.

Not a single brain among the whole lot of them. Absolutely amazing. If, God forbid, another attack took place in or around NY, they'd be screaming for GW's help.

[GeronL]

If they ever seize power in this country, they're the kind of people who won't hesitate to deal with us conservatives the way Stalin and Mao dealt with opponents.

exactly, like those women who are proud of their abortions. If the babies mean nothing, how much do grown-ups mean to them if they get in the way??

Its for the common good, as Hillary said, afterall.

MadIvan- You don't buy this rag do you??

I wouldn't stoop to using this particular rag as toilet paper. They haven't had any decent writing since George Orwell was their Spain correspondent.

Two year-olds demanding attention. They'll scream and yell until their faces turn blue. Nobody in his right mind will care.

What if they had their war and no one came?

Is there any reason why the Republican Convention couldn't just pull up stakes and move to Houston? In this day of text messaging, cell phones, pagers, e-mail, and fax, why not just notify the delegates that NYC is off? Media coverage is going to be minimal anyway, so that's no great loss. Just write it off and take the Party somewhere else.

I'd love to see the scuzzballs try to hold their protests in a city where most of the residents take a very dim view of anarchists.

[GeronL]

I think we need to make Anarctica into a nation and send all the liberals from every country down there. Their body heat will warm it up, I am sure.

[broadsword]

What a bunch of lowlife a$$holes! And that includes their media lapdogs.

[GeronL]

well, the reservations and ticket purchases were all made months and months ago, if not years.

[LibWhacker]

Hehehehe . . . Good point. And the main reason we can never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever let them disarm us, like they'd like to. Bastards. You know they're just waiting for the day.

[MadIvan]

No good. The hot air they spew will cause the polar ice to melt.

Here in Santa Cruz it would start a riot. My PW shirts always get a nice reaction. I'm always shocked when a passerby says "Hey cool shirt" (it's usually a cop saying it). Most in this town are of the Hate America/Hate Israel/Hate all that is decent and good crowd. I've gotten a lot more confrontational over the last few years. I've had it up to here (holding hand 10" over head) with these fools.

[SirLurkedalot]

"since George Orwell" LOL Great line!
