"Sorta kinda maybe" what? Where am I equivocating on what the GOP wants? When you have nothing, make up lies about what the other person says?

Are you still mad at me for using examples of FOX News spinning the truth to prove that FOX News spins the truth?

The answer is obvious... three letters... c'mon... you can do it...

The irony here is that you're always in the threads forecasting what the Dems & Obama's "next move" will be even when they haven't said anything. So it's shocking how the GOP is saying something, yet their next move will be...

Oh please, you went from ZERO tolerance to well, it's just video games, but then only certian people from fox are going to ban them from their own home....

I provided you with the defination of ZERO tolerance, maybe man up and read it and learn and stop crying. I don't care who you think you provide proof from, because you think I watch fox....does not mean it is ture.
Seeing how I posted that specific video to prove you wrong for saying no one in the GOP is blaming video games for violence, I think you've proven that you're a troll and a liar...

And I'm USING your ZT definition, but you're playing coy by suddenly not knowing what comes next...

GOP: 1, 2, 3...
chucksnee: How am I supposed to know what comes next when they haven't said it...

So again, GOP is blaming violent video games, violent video games are already regulated by their industry, what comes next?

You state here that the Conservatives asked for ZERO tolereance policy.

Post 47, once again you said the right was asking for zero tolerance:

Yep... I'm calling bullch!t on your entire post. Suddenly it's a surprise that the GOP has been pushing this gun violence rhetoric? Have you been asleep for the last 2 months? Did you miss the published stories about the NRA, Meghan Kelly, Rush Limbaugh, even "RINO" Scarborough ALL co-signing to this talking point?

But I'm waiting to see which direction you guys turn when you learn that ZT policies are something Liberals HATE and want to see done away w/. Can't wait to see you join hands w/ us when you call out the NRA & Limbaugh for being clowns...
Post 70, you provided a bunch of video's that talked about banning videos from their house, not "zero tolerance" as you say. Still, nothing about "zero tolerance."

Post 89 goes DIRECTLY against what you are stating "zero tolerance."

So your point is that I'm saying FOX is spinning bullch!t and then using examples of FOX spinning bullch!t to prove my point... Wow... why on Earth would I do such a thing...



This is hilarious. Suddenly the biggest names in Conservative media are not reflecting or informing the views of the GOP. No one believes you.

Guess what? If Maddow, MSNBC, and major Liberal organization ALL had the same bullch!t talking point, I'd man up and say "Yeah... that's a Democrat talking point."

But hey... I'm not a sore loser, so here you go:

Or maybe elected official don't count as the GOP? Let's poll the people that vote for the GOP

http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/2011/PPP_Release_National_207.pdf (67% blame video games for gun violence)
So yea, once again, you went from ZERO tolerance to 67% in your response. So which is it? I posted the link to what "Zero tolerance" is, you have yet to provide ANYTHING in any of the blather you posted that say's zero tolerance.

You do understand a law banning the sale of violent games to teens is a ZT law, right?

Whoops... looks like we found the problem. I've been giving you credit for understanding what ZT is. You just tried compared the % of people who blame video games (something I posted b/c you said the GOP never said that video games were to blame) to ZT as if ZT is a number or actual figure...

Zero tolerance means No Tolerance. It's not the number of people who support/oppose/[whatever other ridiculous understanding you have] a policy.

Lol... so in your mind b/c 67% of people blame video games, not guns, for violence, does that mean that it's 67% more or less than it should be under "ZT." I just want to be clear on how little you understand this idea.

The only problem is you cannot follow your own posts...

Show me were ANYONE say "ZERO tolerance" not what you think "Zero Tolerance" means.....because what you think "Zero Tolerance" means and what the rest of the world means is not the same.

Saying I'm banning violent vidoe games form MY HOUSE, is not the same a "Zero Tolerance." No matter how many times you tell youself it is.

Uh-huh... well we're making progress. At least now you're admitting the GOP is blaming violent video games. If you want to play oblivious to what the next step is for politicians complaining about something that's already regulated to do what they want done, fine. Everyone else sees what the GOP agenda is...

And another thread reports that students might have been traumatized over this pop tart gun so school counselors will be on hand to help students deal with their trauma.

A Maryland Republican group gave a lifetime National Rifle Association membership.
Maryland House of Delegates Minority Leader Nicholaus R. Kipke presented Welch with the NRA membership along with a Pop-Tart shaped like a gun and firearm safety tips.

Giving a kid a rifle association membership makes sense? No. This may resonate with the yahoos, but most people will look at this as a knee-jerk response combating stupidity with stupidity. It's bad marketing.

If the state GOP was smart, they'd look at these oversensitive zero-tolerance rules, and talk sense instead of combating rhetoric with more of the same. Both ways it makes the GOP look bad. Possibly as bad as the school.
The smart thing to do would have been to stay out of it, and watch the school continue to make fools of itself when it tried to defend its idiotic actions.
