He's a little rusty on his Red Sox history. [/nitpick]

bob parks = uncle ruckus.

Oh, c'mon David. Surely you can do better than that? No Clarence Thomas reference?

The Raging Left keeps saying that when they lose *again* they’re gonna start a class war, or a race war, or a PETA Animal war, or an anarchist uprising - or just some seriously stupid shit.
They can't win at anything and it's driving them further and further over the edge, beyond mere moonbattery. Since they are so absolutely full of themselves I tend to believe them when they say it, because they are exactly stupid enough, and obviously crazy enough to have let their angry and incoherent emotions bleed them dry intellectually and spiritually. That's where their kind of Wars and Revelucion come from - because they can’t win any other way, like Islamists they embrace the big No-Win of suicidalism. Keep your powder dry.

Robb Allen has an appropriate response to that.

No Clarence Thomas reference?

nah, too easy, and i honestly can't picture thomas just coming right out and saying, 'win or lose, black people (and the youth) WILL riot.' that's uncle ruckus.

assuming the majority of your readership is pro-gun, and the majority of us were probably raised pro-gun. a majority of us have probably been hearing about this impending race war (or n*gger war, depending on the company we've kept) since we were kids; this video plays off of that, and to me, it smells like simple racist fear mongering.

on the other hand, i live in tuscaloosa, al, and i work in some pretty crappy neighborhoods, so i'll probably take 5 nov off anyway. you know, just in case.

Um, in case you hadn't noticed, it's not the Right saying it will happen. Bob just raised the possibility. It was someone on the Left stating it as fact.

As for me, I haven't heard anything about a "race war" since the 1960's when I was knee-high to a grasshopper and there really were race-riots in major cities. What I hear about now is the radical fringe leftist / anarchist / communists talking about "the REVOLUTION, Man!" where the rich, white capitalist pigs will be overthrown. Race is involved only on one side of that conflict.

i hadn't noticed. i noticed your post, and that prompted my response. now, having read that article, i'll go out on a limb and say that it does raise valid points. the author loses credibility (w/ me, anyway) when she says, 'He promises to cut taxes for 95 percent of American workers and ease the burden for millions of families. And I believe him, ...'. she believes him, so she already drank the koolaid (probably drank it before he even announced candidacy, and she's just been waiting around ever since).

moving on, i have no recollection of the 60s, largely because i was not there; however, i was 18 in 1992, some friends had been to some other friend's dad's house (and i know this verges on 'friend-of-a-friend' urban legend territory - i apologize) where this grizzled old bastard has stockpiled all this hardware that i am not legally allowed to own, and i seriously doubt he was either. when asked what was the point, he was 'gettin' ready for the nigger war.' that quote stuck w/ me.

2007: my boss comes back from the home of one of his contractors, and he's just going on and on about all these badass guns the guy has. i affect my best drunken southern accent and ask, "is he gettin' ready for the nigger war?" apparently, that's exactly what the guy said. this isn't some fringe doofus, it's a successful business-owning adult, maybe right around 40 years old.

i suppose my point is that, while you may not have heard about it in a while, that story is still out there, and people are still buying in to it. maybe it all comes back to the aforementioned 'company we've kept,' and i just hang out w/ a bunch of shitheads, but there is definitely an audience ready to eat this shit up and ask for seconds.

"i hadn't noticed..."

That was evident.

No racewar necessarily, it's not even necessary when complete and utter stupidity and craziness isn't just spread like Avian Flue, it's taught by bearded old freaks (both men and women) at University Campuses.

We had freaking anarchists "come" (I say that in quotes because I don't believe they had to travel very far) to downtown Palo Alto for criminysake! For reference imagine this: young Thurston Howell III and Luvvy dressed in "Anarchique" from a chic French boutique in the Hamptons - that's the Palo Alto equivalent, where the median home sale price for 2006 was more than $1.3 Million. Anyhow, so it's The Anarchist Parade! Like the Reconnaissance Faire, only different! This was their VACATION riot, before School started again. A bunch of rich white asshole kids dressed in black t-shirts and hoodies - and they broke windows and set things on fire! They won't join the army to release their tensions and inadequacies but they will go to College and march for vague "anti-capitalist" sentiments that fulfill that urge - and try to impress anarchy-chicks and get laid. And they're flat-out stoopid, as illustrated by one protester reported saying, "Like a bank shouldn't be able to control your money and how you use it - and everything like that." Huh???

They're essentially the same kids who go to work the next day in the same broken-window coffee shop - but no NOT REALLY - these are kids who DON'T even have to WORK and never have! Destruction is easy when it's just stuff your old man buys and replaces every few years anyhow, no big deal and You shouldn't get hung-up on materialistic things, dude. Yeh, easy for you to say when you didn't work for a damn thing that you have or wear. Essentially they broke their Dad's shop windows - but no NOT REALLY - it's the building THEIR DAD owns, and rents to "some guy" who's trying to have a business: a Capitalist Pig! An OPPRESSOR!

I'm not sure about any racial component, but The Left - all by themselves - really-really are totally f*d in the head, disengaged and nuts - and the kids are goaded on by aged Communists jerks like Ayers and wound-up bitches like Sheehan - people whose better days are far behind them. It's *that* kind of seriously vindictively stupid that I'm worried about, because everyone will come up with the same crap they have always used in defense of it: but they're just kids!
