144. That's a strawman -- and disingenous -- question
You said:

so, which is meant more to intimidate and coerce, "F*CKING PR*CK"
or to say that HR 811 is "the patriot act of elections"?


"F*CKING PR*CK" is an ad hominem, personal attack that I would condemn no matter who made it (and I've not seen any such attack, despite the claim made here).

Referring to the bill as the "patriot act of elections" is an opinion, and one based in some truth on a number of levels, even if you may disagree with that assessment and the reasons presented for it.

Personally, as it's currently written, I believe HR811 to be a grave danger to Electoral Integrity in America. If you feel otherwise, so be it. A case can be made for both view points.

IT would be nice if such cases were made honestly, and based on evidence and beliefs as opposed to the personal attacks and deceptive tactics were are seeing. Exemplified, in fact, by the dishonest and misleading title of the original post in this thread.
