Why isn't Trump getting Dixie Chicked?

[Cancel 2016.2]

This is all just so much BS. What about Hannity, Ingraham, Limbaugh et al.? Who are these "average citizens" you're talking about?

As far as what they added, here you go: voices to the anti-war movement. The admin, all of talk radio & the right in general sought to diminish & marginalize these voices. As I keep saying, all they wanted to do was shut these people up.

And guess what? The anti-war movement turned out to be right. On everything. Maybe you fools should have listened and been more open to their POV.

So, they did not add a fucking thing. They, like those that boycotted them, simply RESTATED something that was already out there. All you are doing is trying to shut up the people who disagree with you. You are suggesting that they should not be allowed to express themselves. You are trying to intimidate them.

The anti-war movement was not right about everything. The containment that you think should have lasted forever was the very thing that prompted the attacks of 9/11.

The starvation of the Iraqi people was occurring due to that containment and Saddam's actions. But you ignore that. instead you believe Michael Moores little fantasy that the Iraqi's were all having picnics and skipping through fields prior to the war.

Poor Freak. Still thinks Iraq was the right thing to do.

One of the last holdouts.

And only an idiot would think that adding more voices to a movement is meaningless.

Dissent ends wars. There is ample historical proof on that. You're a real fool, SF. Though it's fun to watch you flail.

Again, one of us bases our opinion on reality. The other on Michael Moore fantasies.

You are truly descending to Desh levels of idiocy.

1) Thing proclaims the boycotters are not adding anything to the 'market place of ideas'

2) Thing proclaims the ditzie chicks ARE

3) When asked WHAT they added, he states they 'added their voices to a movement' ie... they didn't add anything new to the marketplace of ideas... they simply agreed with an opinion that was already out there. Which is precisely what those that boycotted the ditzie chicks did. They added their voices to an idea that was already out there.

4) Again you create a straw man. I didn't say adding their voices to a movement was meaningless (you just can't help creating more bullshit straw men can you?). I stated they did not add anything new your 'marketplace of ideas'... and they didn't

5) Another straw man... no one stated that dissent doesn't end wars. You just want to keep spinning, moving goal posts and distracting from your complete ignorance on this thread.

Again, for the hard of hearing: the boycotts didn't forward an "idea." They just wanted to stop other people from talking.

It's lame and unAmerican to just want to shut up an opinion that you disagree with. Counter that opinion with a better one - persuade more people through the power of your own ideas. That's what free speech is about.

Not "we want everyone thinking the same way, so we're going to scare you into not talking." Not surprising that you would support something so childish & backwards.

trump lost support for not protecting the republican party from its complete failures

 

[Jarod]

IF Trump is losing support based on his criticism of the Bush family...

its insane to me that the Republican base is more upset over calling Bush out, than they over the way he mocked a crippled reporter.

its this state


its Bush country

Again, for the retard... the boycotters were most certainly forwarding an idea. The poor retard is just not intelligent enough to grasp it.

The point dear retard is that they found it very disrespectful to talk in such a manner about a sitting President at a time of war. But you can't grasp that. You pretend that they just had the boycott on a whim, without any purpose. It is because YOU disagree with their position... thus you PRETEND they don't have one.

But clearly Thing is in his own words... UnAmerican... for he is trying to shut up those that disagree with him.

Their idea was to shut the Dixie Chicks up. I remember the rhetoric at the time. They just didn't want to hear the opinion.

"Shut up & Sing" - a bestseller, and no better proof.

Again - a bad couple of days for you.

Thing has already conceded that today is different than before, thus it is apples/oranges.

All else is just flailing because he refuses to admit he is wrong.

Again... you ignore the FACT that they were stating their displeasure (ie... voicing THEIR OPINION) with the way the ditzie chicks spoke of the sitting President. You can ignore how ignorant you have been on this, but pretending I am the one having the bad couple of days is truly comical.

You think only the ditzie chicks should be allowed to speak their minds. You are a fucking idiot for thinking that.

I know. Pretty soon he will go full retard (ie... Desh) and start calling everyone racist nazi's or some such nonsense.

I never even said that those who boycotted "shouldn't be allowed." More flailing.

I just think it's lame to try to shut someone up. As I've said many times, if you don't like an opinion, offer one that's better. Persuade others w/ your ideas; don't just seek to shut others down.

It's pretty basic. But you support the kind of intimidation & fear tactics that all of those pro-war fools used. Like I said, we might have been better off had we let more of those anti-war voices speak out, and didn't try to marginalize them & shut them down.

You'll never get it, unfortunately. You're even reduced to agreeing w/ Yurt.

Hmmmmm....I conceded that 2016 is different from 2003?

What a revelation, Yurt! Unfortunately, it doesn't lead to the conclusion that you think it leads to. You war supporters were dead wrong in 2003, and nothing about that will ever change. I'm glad most of you have come around & agree w/ the left now, but it's a wee bit late.

Actually, in the beginning you said it was the same.

 

[Konono]

You do realize that was 13 years ago. Apples/oranges.

Makes no difference.

Dissent is patriotic. The right didn't quite get that 13 years ago.

With regard to the point of the OP - it absolutely is.

You're doing your usual boring Yurt "gotcha" thing. Try to win an argument on actual merits, war lover.
