104. Candies and flowers
Edited on Mon Nov-21-05 11:48 PM by DaveColorado
"So if rape infuriates you under any circumstances, as you so self-rightously claim, you wouldn'tt have even asked this question."




Please lower your frying pan.

Such inflammatory rhetoric (i.e. insinuating I am a fan of rape for pointing out a possible contradiction) will only serve to alienate those whom you wish to adopt your viewpoint.

If you've managed to insult a liberal male who is in favor of selling plan b over the counter, keeping Roe V Wade intact, reducing violence against women through legislative means, and whose shoulder has been lent to victims of violence against women close to me to cry on, how do you think your brand of over the top rhetoric will play in the frat house, in the coal mine, in the office, etc?

With that approach, your quest to change hearts and minds on this issue then becomes as laughable as Dick Cheney’s predictions of candies and flowers raining down in the streets of Baghdad.

But alas, as you reminded us earlier, we Americans readily celebrate the protection and annunciation of all free speech.
