Best wishes to Gabrielle Giffords and all the rest.

I'm sure everyone by now has heard Democratic Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was shot while meeting with constituents in Arizona today. I'm guessing it was either because she was pro-choice, for immigration reform, she voted for the health insurance bill (hey, I hated it too, but I'm not gonna run out and shoot people over it, fuck all), she ( Read more... )

Thank you Sarah Palin for setting the pro-gun lobby back 50 years. Thank you for making a mockery of all the responsible gun owners and operators in America. Thank you for making America less safe, not more safe. Thank you for giving the anti-gun lobby more reasons that they want to take away the rights I have to defend myself.

Fucking worthless cunt.

I hold her as responsible for the shooting of Rep. Gifford as the shooter himself.

Is certainly causing me to question my own support for concealed carry permits. Of course, this dude sounds like he should not have any permit ever and possibly didn't have one, I dunno. What the hell about the Arizona law just signed (I assumed had no effect on this; too new) that allwoed concealed carry w/NO permit?

Palin definitely contributed, but it's not JUST her. See Giffords' opponent for Congress, who held a target practice rally to remove her from office last year. WTF?

Dude, the Western states have the weirdest gun laws I've ever heard of. They make the mind boggle. I don't agree with anyone being issued a CCP without a mandatory gun safety course, but I doubt that the lack of a CCP (assuming the perp had one) would have stopped him from his goal. Crazy people never worry about laws.

I had heard about her opponents last year being very pro-gun, but I hadn't heard that they had a rally like that. What do you mean by a target practice rally to remove her from office? Please, for the love of Christ, tell me that they didn't use her likeness as a target.

As far as I know, they didn't use her likeness, but the ad for the rally read "Get On Target for Victory in November.Help remove Gabrielle Giffords from Office. Shoot a fully automatic M 16 with Jessee Kelly"Again, WTF ( ... )

...considering that women and girls were shot and some killed today in the attack, fuck you for using misogynistic slurs. Ordinarily, I'd call this shit it out more polite language but "CUNT" IS FUCKING INEXCUSABLE.

FUCK YOU.

...so if only men had been killed, it would be okay to use the word "cunt?" Interesting. I find that very interesting. You'd better work out when misogyny is acceptable to you and when it's not, you fucking hypocrite.

mswyrr January 9 2011, 03:56:41 UTC

LOL. I still would have called it out, I just wouldn't have been quite so unrestrained about it.

If you don't think that the attempted assassination of a female politician owes something to a culture where women can be deemed "worthless cunt(s)," I don't know what to say. And if you're completely incapable of apologizing rather than deliberately misreading my comment to paint me a fucking hypocrite, then I guess we don't have anything more to talk about.

I guess we don't have anything more to talk about.

Oh noes! Whatever shall I do?

mswyrr January 9 2011, 04:08:04 UTC

LOL. Fail harder.

I only have to look to you for guidance.

Almost left this alone since the argument seemed to have stopped before I saw it, but just went back and looked at the thread and figured I should say something.

While totally understanding that emotions were running high yesterday and seeing your point that the attempted assassination of a female politician owes something to a culture where women can be deemed "worthless cunt(s), keep in mind that I actually consider some of the people on my f-list to be actual friends (mydocs being the most long-standing lj friend I have, one of three people on my f-list who date back to BtVS message boards, when Buffy and Angel were still putting out new eps), so maybe a little more politeness to start the disagreements with in the future, unless someone is an obvious troll ( ... )

This is your space and I'll respect how you want people to behave here.
