You want to call Mr. Gasparian A LIAR???? Shame on you if you do.
No, I don't even care. Simple geography kept the Nazis from invading Armenia in World War II. It is on the other side of Turkey from Europe.and the other side of the Caucasus Mountains from the farthest advance of the German Army. Obviously the outrage of the victim was based on something but his own experience as Olberman portrayed it or the autrocities he witnessed as a yound child were at the hands of Stalinist Soviets. Look at a map the abosulte farthest advance of the Germans was Maikop, in modern day Chechnya still a thousand miles from Armenia and your victim was 3 then. The Germans were not within aa thousand miles of Armenia after that. Shame on me? I didn't assault anyone

Conservatives fail to see the wider interpretations of things and cling to simple definitions of what's right/wrong and feign a certain ignorance on, say, whether a monkey is a racist symbol.
And liberals try to inject race into everything, but only when they see an advantage to themselves. They tend to ignore it when practiced by themselves.

Example:
If I stick my forefinger up that means "number 1" right?
What if I stick up my middle finger? Using your argument, Predos, all it means is "number 1." Right?
But, but it's also a symbol meaning "up yours!" Right?
More like the symbol for what they want to do to the rest of the country. They care about nothing but their own agenda without regard to any input what-so-ever from anyone else.
Quote:
Just as a monkey is a symbol of past racism. Combined with vitriol and various other symbols from the right, liberals deduce that a watermelon patch in front of the white house is a tad racist as well as that monkey picture.
So now you are claiming that liberals are told what to think by republicans?
Quote:
George W. in a monkey suit symbolizes a bumbling idiot evident when he opened his mouth.
Pure bigotry and claiming that your opinion is the only one worth stating. It is a continuing effort to defame someone who was willing to do the things necessary in his job. Was he a great speaker? No. But would you rather have a great speaker who fails and cannot/will not explain his policies or someone who performs his job? (I know, your liberal masters will tell you how to answer).
Quote:
What is Obama in a monkey suit supposed to symbolize? Socialism? No. Bumbling idiot. No. Big Government? No.
Answers in order of questions: Yes. No (that one is your interpretation). Yes (in case you haven't noticed, since Obamas' election, the government has grown enormously).
Quote:
Maybe, just maybe it's a very deep symbol about monkeys in this society and how we are the banana platation and Obama the head Gorilla is now coming to take all of our bananas and how he's going to hire a "Chimp Czar" and pass programs under the guise of "Plantains for Clunkers."
Once again, your opinion that you are trying to pass off as the feeling of others. You truly don't know what anyone else thinks, yet keep proclaiming your nonsense as fact. You supply the smilies and try to make facts change to fit them. Typical liberal.
Quote:
Nah I'm not buying it.
Why not? Waiting for a government bailout or assistance from Acorn?
What is the history behind comparing a white person to a monkey? And what is the history behind comparing a black person to a monkey? If you don't understand the differences you are beyond hope.
Let's see. You are the one asking the question so you evidently don't know the answer. Who is beyond hope?
You mean in the manner you expected/predicted and were prepared for with the liberal answer? What a shmae.
Quote:
Either I wasn't clear or you're just blinded by your rhetoric under the guise of independent thought.
I think its the latter.
You have exposed the actual reason for the flaw in your position. You assume everyone will comply with what you think, when in fact you don't. You need to try to denigrate (is that a racist term to you?) anything anyone who disagrees with you says because you have no base to support your stance. Just what the libs tell you to think.
Quote:
The G.W. comment wasn't as much about him as it was about the symbol of a monkey AND him.
Make up your mind. Not about Bush but about him and a monkey. Your thought process is failing you, again.
Quote:
I just wanted to know how a monkey symbolizes, socialism, big government etc...
Did Stalin talk a lot about primates?
You tell me. You liberals are the ones saying that it does and claiming how racist it is.
I don't expect a liberal answer. I expect a logical one.
Most conservatives confuse the two.
I don't assume people should believe what I believe, but I think they should (when talking about politics and the meaning of things), in part, believe HOW I believe. Because a certain logic should dictate rules as to how we conduct debates.
I just wanted to know (assuming it isn't racist) what Obama in a monkey suit means and why it means that.
The Joker/Obama poster with socialism makes a certain sense (even though it was co-opted). I can see some labeling Obama mad with liberal power.
You haven't seen Bush in the monkey poses? I guess you weren't paying attention since they are tons of them
