Al mentioning Tipper is gonna make me catch grief tomorrow

[drdigi420]

the "censorship" woman?

at least that's what she represents to the enemy

and that's what i get to hear about nonstop from the RW nut at work all day tomorrow, as we were just arguing about her today (i was defending her)

(edited for clarity, apparently, some took it the wrong way)

[thebigidea]

1. even the Zappas forgave her...

[mzmolly]

2. His wife, and Mother of his children. Yeah.

BTW, I haven't an issue labeling music, as a Mother myself.

[MissB]

14. LOL! Great answer (nt)

[Longhorn]

52. I don't, either, nor did I when my children were young.

It would be impossible to check out every album and video game to determine if the content is appropriate for children.

[liberalhistorian]

59. Amen to that!

Jesus H. Christ on a raft with roller blades, the guy just can't catch a fucking break no matter WHAT the fuck he does. He'll be made fun of for applauding her in his speech, but imagine the RW shitstorm if he HADN'T done so? And don't all the "family values" pukes love to do that themselves in their own speeches? They just can't stand the fact that Dems have long-time spouses that they love and have built good, solid lives with; they'd prefer to continue demonizing us as the "loony" immoral family-destroying party when every Dem I know and almost every one in public life I can think of has a better, stronger family life than most republicans I know or can think of. (Newtie Gingrich, anyone?????)

[Dookus]

3. oh christ on a stick...

THAT again?

Get over it. It wasn't censorship.

I swear, people throw that word around here with such facility, yet seem to have NO idea what it means.

[Old and In the Way]

5. Time to resurrect the "Oh, not this shit again" picture, Dookus.

:-)

[Dookus]

9. yer right...

desperate times call for desperate measures...

[drdigi420]

21. try again, read slower

[Dookus]

39. read what?

You're saying a man shouldn't ackowledge his wife because of a 20 year old issue that was NEVER about censorship. It's all shit.

[drdigi420]

42. nope, thats not what im saying

[Dookus]

48. well

when you keep editing your original post, it's hard to keep up.

Why not just say what you mean to say, the first time?

[drdigi420]

50. i didnt think it was that hard for you

been trying to dumb it down

[Dookus]

56. that's ridiculous

you posted something clearly inflammatory and when people called you on it, you edited, then re-edited it again, changing your meaning.

That's a shitty way to debate.

[drdigi420]

63. wasnt debating

you guys took what i said the wrong way, i attempted to clarify it, you guys ignored my attempts

simple

[Old and In the Way]

51. Tipper plays drums with Mickey Hart........

she's mighty fine in my book.

[Catch22Dem]

4. Uh...

Nevermind

[QC]

6. That was about 20 years ago. Most people are not so childish

as to carry such a picayune grudge for so long.

[drdigi420]

7. republicans are, which, of course, was my point

[QC]

15. The Republicans were angry about the record labels?

I had no idea.

[CatWoman]

8. did drdigi420 have to start this thread?

:shrug:

[CaTeacher]

10. Al and Tipper are just the sweetest

love story in the world! He is so crazy about her--how can he help but mention her? I think it is wonderful!

[drdigi420]

12. i have nothing against tipper

i was just defending her today to a right wing coworker

hence the exasperation

geez


next you'll be accusing me of claiming i invented the internet!

[trumad]

13. Oh Bullshit!

What a stupid fucking thread!

[drdigi420]

19. bullshit?

were you there?

please explain how you have this insider knowledge of how my conversation with the right wing retard


man, talk about reactionary groupthink

[trumad]

37. Because if it smells like shit, it's shit.......

[drdigi420]

38. stop picking your nose after you scratch your ass

[trumad]

40. I see from your other posts that you're trying to pull your head

out of your ass.... Nice back peddle!

[drdigi420]

41. just clarifying what i meant in the first post

thats all

since you attack dogs jumped the gun

[trumad]

47. We only attack what needs to be attacked...

if you can't take it then don't post that kind of crap...

[drdigi420]

49. yes, your kind of crap is much better

take your own advice

[trumad]

53. Nice edit on your headline....,

what happened to the original headline? Trying to soften your tone?

[drdigi420]

62. just trying to clarify, cuz some of you are STILL in attack mode

[Selwynn]

11. I like pie.

[MrSlayer]

16. Dee Snider made her look like an ass.

Well actually she made herself look like an ass but that's all water under the bridge. I would much rather her husband be the President than Laura Bush's. Besides Ive never seen anyone card a kid at a record store.

[w13rd0]

17. The original proposal was that...

...there be a networked computer with a barcode scanner in record outlets. Parents could scan the CD, read the lyrics and listen to samples, and thus make an informed decision. The record companies said, "No, that'd be too expensive, let's just slap a label on rap albums."

It really gets tiresome. I believed the RW talking points about Gore until I started doing my own research, and discovered that I'd been lied to.

[Carni]

18. You're worried about Tipper's censorship?

God damn- do you live in a cave with Cheney?

The mid 80's were like one big summer of love compared to the shit we have put up with over the last three years.

Get the fuck over it (I added the F bomb in there just for YOU)

[drdigi420]

20. no, read it again, slowly this time

i am tired of hearing about her from the right wing retards

him mentioning her means i will get to hear about it tomorrow

is it clear now?

geez

[thebigidea]

24. Oh, c'mon. How is someone supposed to get that from your original post?

You called her the censorship woman, and there was absolutely nothing mentioned whatsoever about the RW until people called you on it and you added it.

[drdigi420]

27. ya, i know, i've been trying to clear it up

i was quick on the post and didnt notice that i hadnt finished my thought

was distracted, watching the speech

sorry for the confusion, geez

i was taken aback at how fast the attacks came tho

i didnt even get the benefit of the doubt

[thebigidea]

29. Very surprising that people would defend the Gores during the con on DU

Very surprising!

[tkmorris]

31. Yes but......

You ought to realize that number one, it's all horseshit from their side. Number two, they will do it to anyone on the Dem side, no matter who it is.

The only thing to do is ignore their blather whenever possible and when it isn't explain the truth of the matter to whatever blowhard it needs to be explained to in the most world-weary tone you can manage.

Or alternatively the next time the right wing targets someone on our side with outrageous lies and innuendo we can just give them what they want and not mention that person anymore. That sound good to you?

Edit: Sorry, my tone there is a little harsh. I know what you meant but damn did it come out badly. You know as well as we do that the LAST thing we should do in response to their histrionics is hide the person they direct it at.

[drdigi420]

35. it really wasnt that serious

i was just expressing exasperation about the right wing bullshit i will hear tomorrow

it wasnt supposed to get this out of control

[Carni]

60. Just tell the retards to go pray about it

In an alcohol free, smoke free, drug free, obscenity free environment.

I did in fact misinterpret the meaning of your post.

No hard feelings, I do that often!

[davidwhite0570]

22. Doesn't matter Gore

was great......

[drdigi420]

25. ya, he was

im sorry my original post wasnt more clear

it apparently has been tasken the wrong way and snowballed out of control

i happen to LIKE the Gore Family

[thebigidea]

26. And the best way to like 'em is to wonder why Al thanks his wife.

[drdigi420]

28. no, geez, i wasnt wondering, o fuk it i give up

take it the wrong way, bash me, i just give up, geez

[thebigidea]

32. I'm taking your bong away. You can have it back after the convention.

We need to have it examined for uh, stress factors.

[drdigi420]

34. i dont use bongs

water filters out THC

a joint is the most efficient THC delivery device

it was more the speech than the pot that had me distracted

[WI_DEM]

23. I love Tipper and I love Al

[drdigi420]

30. me too

[DemocratSinceBirth]

33. Me Too....

My mom's in a wheelchair and I took her to an event where Tipper was in 00..... It was great....

I also got to shake Al Gore's and Joe Lieberman's hands....

[seabeyond]

36. so not only the repugs attack the wives

hm........we too are going to

personally i enjoyed watching her walk out and give hubby a smack on the lips teasing about "the" kiss in 2000

[Tight_rope]

43. So what...that's his wife...he respects her and so should you!

[drdigi420]

45. i do, geez

read it again

reactionary tonite arent we?

[name not needed]

44. It's not a big deal anymore

Nobody in a record store even gives a shit about those stickers. You will not be checked ANYWHERE.

[drdigi420]

46. i know this, i was...o geez, this is maddening

NEVER FUCKING MIND!

[trumad]

54. By the way folks

he edited his thread headline... The first one was much more inflammatory!

[drdigi420]

64. it was over the head of some ppl, so i made it clearer

[trumad]

65. Yah right...

You got your ass handed to you and backed down by editing your title...

[Nevernose]

55. It is to rednecks

And I say this with all due respect to rednecks everywhere, who have been my friends and family for as long as I can remember. I come from a long line of rednecks.

They all still HATE Tipper because of the warning labels thing. Most one issue voters tend to be all about god, guns, and gays. I know of at least a couple of people who voted Bush in 2000 solely based on Tipper Gore. And, yes, Kid Rock is their hero.

Replaced "white trash" with "rednecks."

[timtom]

57. I'm sorry, but...

I'm going to have to report this to Jello Biafra (unless he's forgiven her, too).

[mitchum]

58. Well, quit talking to that stupid RW fuck

Seriously, they will NEVER be dissuaded from that talking point. Is Tipper's "censorship" (which never was) the reason that they are a RW idiot? Or is it greed, homophobia, racism, religious mania, Walter Mitty-ism...?

[scarletwoman]

61. Here's what you say -- two words -- SHOVE IT!

Then just walk away. Why even give this kind of idiot the courtesy of a response to their bullshit?
