The congress and the word "vagina"

congress and the word "vagina"

all human beings enters and comes out of it

bullshit. no implication. it's completely obvious what she was saying, and it had nothing to do with sexual advances.

it had to do with legislators trying to intrude themselves into other people's business by trying to pass a probably unconstitutional law, which is precisely what the far right wing has been trying to do at every opportunity since 1973. If you had been paying attention at all for the last 40 years that would be obvious, not your and the legislators' pathetic attempt to spin it differently.

The legislators are the extremists, not her.

Oh? Who's going to "punish" her?

The right are and have always been the extremists here, and continue to be.

The Supreme Court made the decision forty years ago. You may disagree. Tough ****.

You cannot shove your conception of morality on others.

Which is why it's important to vote them all out and restore the first amendment, particularly in legislatures like this one, where they're trying to rule by fiat and kangaroo court.

and to repeat, the extremists here are on the right, not the left.

And you are defending the extremists,

defending the extremists, which is trying to shove your morality on others.

Brown stood up to extremism,

which is a praiseworthy action.

I don't think much of your conception of democracy.

No. it's part of the right's favorite tactics of trying to demonize and shout down anyone who dares disagree with them.

Those tactics find favor with the left at least as often as they do with the right.

Since 1994 with Newt Gingrich and the Contract On America, and the rise of fanatic conservatie talk radio, you guys have been the clear leaders in the field.

Here's a vivid illustration of just how badly Mitt Romney wants to avoid any discussion of his record as governor of Massachusetts: he sent his campaign aides to shout down speakers at a press conference organized by the Obama campaign to discuss Romney's governorship. Romney aides and supporters repeatedly shouted, screamed, and even blew bubbles and vuvezelas in an effort to disrupt the press conference, which was held in Boston.
Obama campaign senior strategist David Axelrod, who was the featured speaker at the event, told the Romney aides that their efforts to drown out discussion of Mitt Romney's record as governor would not succeed. "You can shout down speakers," he said. "But it's hard to Etch A Sketch the truth away."

Axelrod said that the reason Romney never talks about his gubernatorial record not he campaign trail is that under Romney's leadership, Massachusetts was 47th in the nation in job creation. "You can't handle the truth," Axelrod said, addressing the Romney campaigns efforts to shout down the press conference. "If you could handle the truth, you'd quiet down." The truth, Axelrod said, was that Romney in 2002 promised that his record at Bain would help him lead an economic boom in Massachusetts—a boom that never materialized. Romney is promising the same thing today, Axelrod said, but there's no more reason to believe Romney in 2012 than there was in 2002.

Somerville Mayor Joe Curtatone mocked the the Romney campaign's efforts. "Thank you for the bubbles," Curtatone said. "It's a hell of a lot better than the smoke Mitt Romney blew at us ten years ago and that he's blowing across America!"

That tells the whole story about Romney; he has supporters that do not want to hear the truth about their own candidate, because that will make them look stupid!

And they are.
