You were generic?

How does stating that liberals give a free pass to criminals, and accusing a poster of doing that, equate in your mind with generic?

You weren't politic-free in any way in your post. That you don't see your own bias says quite alot about YOU.

You continue to show that you actually have no idea what she was convicted of here. Because that wasn't even close.

Attacking ACORN is nothing more than dog whistle racism.

from reading the story I know what she was convicted of just fine, you dont like how I put the message across.

I guess what they say is true, free speech is only there if someone conveys the liberal type of free speech.

I guess 400,000 isnt a high enough number for people these days.

What difference does it make?

Really??????

You're talking about the penalty assigned to someone for their crime.

Are you saying that someone jaywalking should be penalized as severely as someone robbing a bank?

I'm sure you'll respond, no, of course not. Because it clearly does make a difference what the crime is.

She was convicted for paying people extra for registering voters when they exceeded their voter registration goals. Which is against the law in Nevada. But you think she belongs behind bars. I'm asking you to explain why paying bonuses to people who work for you merits jail time. Please explain.

Can you respond with FACTS? That would be a start.

Did you miss that I posed those as questions? Do you read the words or just react to them? Do you even know the difference between a statement and a question?

Again, I reiterate my disease reference.

PS... @DC, your tagline says that you want to pull things up by the roots but stay balanced? Is that even possible?

Well, if your a Black Panther wearing a uniform carrying a stick, performing voter suppression, the answer is still the same, it's approved of depending what your party affiliation is.

Even posing such questions is indicative of bias.

If I said, "Don't you think all Poles are stupid?", would the fact that I posed it as a question remove the inherent bias from the underlying assumption? No, it wouldn't. Your questions were inherently biased. And then your repeated "disease" reference. Your bias makes you part of the diseased.
