In the thread the OP blamed Mary Jo for being killed becasue she chose to get into the car .with kennedy.

Dude, get your facts straight before you again post things. I told you that your absurd claim that liberals like to blame the victim is a falsehood. Is that clear?

that article basically says that the green party wants to sterilize everyone in the third world? or something like that? it's written really poorly so it's kind of hard to follow. but that's completely nuts.

i don't know if someone really said mary jo kopechne is to blame because she shouldn't have gotten in the car with kennedy, but that's a terrible thing to say.

Instead of the requisite personal attack of a differing view, why don't you refute their statements? They showed a link, how about you???

You claim it is absurd yet you make post no reason why you think it is. So it is your OPINION. You have a right to your absurd OPINION.
I give you my opinion along with a article as to why my opinion is that way.

So until you can counter the argument you have a right to your opinion.
Sorry you can not discuss it with facts to back your opinion

I particularly loved this segment of your post:

What they do not want is any sort of fundamental change which might result in a reduction in privilege for themselves.....

For that is EXACTLY how the republican party comes across. Weird. Actually, since you are the one who laid this claim that liberals always blame the victim, why don't you give some examples, other than the Kennedy one which I myself find ridiculous. That thing you posted really did not have much to say so I can't really discuss it. I can give you an example of some people on the right blaming the victim....that model that was just killed by her husband. Her profession & lifestyle was brought up in discussion as reasoning for her death.

They (the liberals) just can't tell me how much it will cost me a month for my FREE health care.
I've asked but have yet to get an answer.

The link and the premise of this thread is a strawman.
