I don't often feel like slapping someones face.

[Control-Z]

Damn good thing I don't live in Arizona. Jan Brewer needs to be slapped, and slapped and slapped again. Damn, she's ugly (in character).

Of course, I'm just blowing off steam. I would never hit her.

[Maven]

1. She's a stupid asshole

Who would be embarrassed for being so unprofessional if not for the fact that she is a stupid asshole.

[Control-Z]

2. Well said.

Thank you, Maven.

[Ecumenist]

3. OMG I felt the asame way. She did all of this for a photo op

Frankly, I don't know why the SS did knock her wrinkly ass to the ground..WAGGING HER FINGER IN HIS FACE??!! She should she be picking asphalt out of her teeth!

[Control-Z]

7. And my disgust

for her grows. Feeling threatened by our president, my ass!

[Fuzz]

4. I feel like slapping someone in the face every day, actually more a frying pan to the head, but same

basic concept.

[Control-Z]

11. I'm sorry you feel that way.

It must be a daily roller coaster for you with the goopers center stage. I have an aversion to violence so it doesn't occur to me often but I do a lot of yelling at my TV and to anyone who'll listen.

[Fuzz]

24. lol, thanks for the 'concern'. I was being a bit snarky.

[DocMac]

50. I'll be serious.

The first post I read here this morning was about some mining company in Wisconsin trying to get the GOP to trash the Indian Treaty so they can make some $$$ without regulation.

GOP, Teahadist, Ron Paul...their pile of bullshit just keeps getting higher and higher.

I'm not wishing a frying pan to their heads, but a jail cell would be nice.

Deep breath.....ok, better now, thanks.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

5. She's very lucky I am not a Secret Service agent.

[undeterred]

6. I don't often feel like breaking off someone's finger, but there are some pictures

that stir an impulse deep down inside me.

[Broderick]

8. Violence solves nothing

[Jean V. Dubois]

17. Don't be absurd. Violence has been solving problems throughout all of history.

You just may not like the solution.

[Broderick]

23. Don't be absurd yourself

In this case. That is clear but snark is your game. I suppose you need things spelled out completely all the time. I understand some do.

The whole claim that the right is the violent ones right after watching Gabby and President Obama hug is ludicrous while people here are gitty about violent thoughts and day dreams of causing injury. Rising above is not possible for some.

[Jean V. Dubois]

30. Sorry, but the claim that "violence solves nothing" is sentimental pablum.

There might be those who "rise above", but they're few and far between on the right or the left. Violence is part of the human condition, and will remain such indefinitely....mainly because violence frequently is the most efficient solution for a given problem.

Whether or not it's a moral solution is an entirely different question, yes?

[Broderick]

32. Stay on thread topic please.

Are you advocating violence against a woman; namely ms. Brewer? Violence against her solves what in particular? Do you have feelings of causing bodily harm to her?


President Obama handled it properly. No public flogging. He just dismissed her and walked away. He didn't break her finger or slap her. He set a good example and clearly many didn't get it.

[Jean V. Dubois]

33. When did I advocate violence? Allow me to make it crystal clear.

I do not advocate violence towards Ms. Brewer in any way whatsoever. I was simply speaking of the ridiculous blanket assertion that violence never solves anything.

[Broderick]

37. Well just try to stay on topic in the future

and understand that when I post, unless I specifically state otherwise; I am referring to the topic at hand.

[EOTE]

40. Then you went off topic by saying "violence solves nothing".

It's somewhat idiotic to complain that a poster is going off topic by replying to something that YOU said.

[Broderick]

44. I was addressing the topic at hand

Stay with it please. It solves nothing. In this case. In this thread. You read too much into it and you fail to understand that I was addressing the thread topic. If I specifically state that I am not on thread topic I will do so. Amusing to me how people extrapolate outside the topic for my brief post. Follow along. It might take some time, but eventually you will understand. The topic at hand is slapping Ms. Brewer.

[EOTE]

45. So you can respond, but no one can respond to your response?

That's not exactly how discussion forums work. If you don't want someone responding to what you write, you shouldn't write it. Christ, it's really not all that complicated.

On edit: More specifically, people were responding to the idiotic assertion that violence solves nothing as well as the inane assertion that those on the left are hypocritical to suggest that those on the right are the violent ones. Both of those asinine assertions were addressed by other posters. If you don't want people correcting your BS, perhaps keeping quiet would be best.

[Broderick]

48. Are you having a problem?

Maybe you ought relax and breath while you try to stay on topic. You are just musing your own assertions and not following along, as I figured you would have trouble with.

Rec the thread even. I see you haven't done that.

[EOTE]

49. No, are you? You seem to think that people responding to your posts is against the rules.

If I see stupid shit on a discussion forum, I'm going to respond to it, thanks. You've given me lots of stupid shit to respond to. Hey, your post isn't on topic! Why can't you stay on point?

[A wise Man]

34. I'm in agreement on the subject of violence

Throughout history violence has been placed upon the meek and non violence.... results the violence win because the meek won't fight. The problems come from hate, low self esteem, ignorance and the belief that they are more powerful than the masses. Turning the other cheek and saying "I LOVE YOU" is not the solution to evil. The meek has to become strong and stop taking "SHIT IN THEIR FACE AND MADE TO EAT IT". I am non violent but "don't F... with me"!!!

[EOTE]

39. The right ARE the violent ones. That can be rather clearly seen by looking at events

of the past 60 or so years. Christ, just look at how many progressive politicians have been assassinated in the past century. That's a fact regardless of how "gitty" people here become. And with that being said, violence sometimes DOES solve problems. Denying that is fairly dumb.

[Broderick]

42. Did I deny it?

Heck no. But, the irony of it is that we complain about it, try to take the higher ground, but then we get posts like this advocating violence and fantasy of violence towards a female politician. Seems hypocritical to me. No? You endorse the musings of violence towards women, and female politicians? Right after we saw that wonderful moment between Barack Obama and Gabby Giffords? Really?

To each his own. I merely point it out that we lose our moral ground by becoming what we despise in reciprocation.

Seems below the standards of this website, but I am not one to do any more than point it out.

[EOTE]

43. Yes, you did. Did you forget so quickly?

"The whole claim that the right is the violent ones right after watching Gabby and President Obama hug is ludicrous "

And no, it's not hypocritical. Because overall, we DON'T engage in that violence regardless of how much is spoken about it. I have no problem with "musings of violence" toward Jan Brewer, she's a disgusting piece of trash.

[Broderick]

46. No denial but the claim is ludicrous

if we do the same thing. It defeats the moral high ground. I could have been more clear there, but I am glad to know that you advocate violence and musings of violence towards female politicians. People often reveal their nature and many have in this thread. When the next uproar over the right happens and violence, you will have no standing. Because you advocate what you supposedly despise if you get wadded up. No rising above for you.

[EOTE]

47. OK, now stating that a "claim is ludicrous" is not the same thing as a denial.

Gotcha, champ. And you feel the need to separate this issue by gender? So in your mind, "musings of violence" toward male politicians is okey dokey?

And fuck, you really have a very hard time with moral equivalencies (look it up). When the next uproar occurs, I will have all the standing in the world. You wanna know why? Because I don't fucking beat up people I don't agree with. You really need to garner somewhat of a clue.

[Nye Bevan]

28. "The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral

begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy.
Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it.
Through violence you may murder the liar,
but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth.
Through violence you may murder the hater,
but you do not murder hate.
In fact, violence merely increases hate.
So it goes.
Returning violence for violence multiplies violence,
adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness:
only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that."

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

9. If he ran off, it's cuz he couldn't contain his laughter...

She is a gnat to Obama. Like when a little yip-dog thinks it could kick some pitbull ass.

He didn't want to be rude and bust out laughing at her.

[Control-Z]

13. Yeah. But yip dogs

have their cute moments. Not the case for poor Jan.

I think the president did a superb job of showing respect for the "least among us".

[Quantess]

10. I don't often feel like slapping someone's face, but when I do, it's Jan Brewer.

[Buns_of_Fire]

25. (Especially if I've had a few too many Dos Equis.)

Stay thirsty, my friends...

[piedmont]

12. I hate her politics but if she'd been a Democrat doing this to GWB we'd still be orgasming abou it.

Just being honest.

[Kurmudgeon]

14. No, I would be aghast that a Dem had sunk to that level.

Respect the office, even if you don't respect the person. However, Jan Brewer has placed herself firmly on my right wing imbecile list, just a few steps below Limbaugh and Coulter.

[Luminous Animal]

16. Yep.

[Luminous Animal]

15. Really.

How would it read if I said that Obama needs to be shackled, and shackled and shackled again.


Of course, I'm just blowing off steam. I would never shackle him.

[REP]

18. I'd clutch my pearls; faint perhaps.

Because "shackling" has the exact same connotations as "slapping." Oh wait - they don't.

[Luminous Animal]

20. But of course, I am just blowing off steam.I would never shackle him.

But slap him. Boo yah! I am going to slap and slap and slap him in the face.

Except I won't. Because that would be wrong.

[Control-Z]

19. I would wonder what he had done to piss you off.

And find it odd, quite odd in fact, that you had the desire to "shackle" him for it. I can't imagine what the president could possibly do to you personally that would make you want to "shackle" him. (If someone were up in my face I can't imagine wanting to shackle him/her for it.) So now that I've shown how little your hypothetical resembles the very real situation here, I would be grateful you were just blowing off steam. Damn nice we have a place like DU to do that, isn't it?

[Luminous Animal]

21. What did Brewer personally do to you to make you want to slap her again and again.

I find it odd that you desire to slap a person again and again and again.

I am curious. If that had been a man pointing a finger towards Obama, would you want to slap that man and slap him again and again? Or would you ponder on punching him again and again and again.

[Control-Z]

22. Someone like Scott Walker, you mean?

I'd feel the same.

Slap, and slap and slap and slap. Just like when I'm caffeine deprived and I want coffee, coffee coffee. Yep. And since I've never hit anyone in my adult life, and don't expect I ever will, it was/is really the only thing that comes to mind - like I've seen in movies, when a particularly disgusting character goes around shitting on everything good.

So what did Brewer do? She tried to shit on my president.

Now your turn. What would possess you to even say you wanted to shackle Barack Obama? Pretty twisted thinking if you ask me.

[HappyMe]

26. Yup, if it were a man sticking his finger in

President Obama's face like that, I would want to slap him.

He's the President, agree with him or not, have some respect.

[Nye Bevan]

27. Posts advocating physical violence against female politicians

are just what we need here, in the wake of the Gabby Giffords shooting.

Nicely done.

[HappyMe]

31. I don't think that anyone means

that they want to 'literally' slap Brewer.

[Broderick]

35. Thanks

[tawadi]

38. Yes and no

Seems like a person can pretend to be anybody online, if you think about it. But I do agree du can bring out personality traits people (hopefully) wouldn't display IRL.

[Mr Dixon]

29. SMH

The GOP is throwing a child like tantrum, how sad that is 2012 we still have to deal with dinosaurs, wishing for the 1930’s pecking order.

[JNelson6563]

41. She needs to be slapped, often! And by someone who knows what they're doing!

my apologies to Rhett Butler, tho' he said "kissed".


On edit: Thought I'd add that I'm not serious about slapping anyone as violence solves nothing. If I were to advocate for slapping for reals, Brewer would be a deserving recipient.
