Yes. We were asked to explain why, as liberals, we object to the Tea Party movement.
d: and you used -that- as an excuse to toss in the anti-conservative boogeymen you always rail on about, such as your anecdotes about the 1960's civil rights demonstrations.
What happened to 1960s civil rights activists are not "anecdotes." They are facts of history.
d: so since we're playing that game, i took the liberty of tossing in a few of my own.
In other words, you can't argue the issue on the facts, so you argue in bad faith.
PFT: Oh, I'm sure you can find some obscure case where someone on the left showed up packing heat in the vicinity of a conservative president d: i'd never be able to provide such examples since no true scotsman would ever do such a dastardly deed.
Now you're just babbling.
You always run out of arguments so fast in these exchanges.
